Posted this in the wrong ass topic before.

There is an uncensored f-bomb in the Nicaragua reunion show. Immediately before the first commercial break when the band starts playing along with Chase's song, Fabio can clearly be heard shouting "FUCK YEAH!"

So I was watching the newest season of GLOW with the fianc, and saw a familiar face as one of the background actors

Turns out Matt from RI is an actor working under the name Wyatt Nash.

By the way, this was reported late last week but I never saw it talked about here. Apparently yet another S37 contestant is in hot water before the cast is even officially announced.

One contestant's Tweets from 3-5 years ago in which she frequently uses the word n**** (with an a) have been rediscovered. She claims that they weren't meant to be racist and she was a dumb teenager (14-16) at the time. This is not one of the same contestants who broke the NDA earlier.

Two contestants broke the NDA by revealing their relationship on social media. It went very public (even TMZ picked up on it) and at least one of them has already been banned from attending the reunion.

here's a wall of text

Level 6 - Tyler, KC, Rachel, Angela, Winston, Brett
Tyler
- liked him preseason since he knew the show and even watched Big Brother Canada and knew Ika was rightfully the queen
- I like him, he's fine, not as douchy as the rest of the alliance
Kaycee
- I like KC, she's also non-offensive
- wow I love her hair, she needs it down more often
Rachel
- my preseason winner pick, hasn't done much so far
Angela
- don't have a strong opinion, upside is Erica I hope
Winston
- feels like a dude who's trying too hard to be cool by saying stuff like "our alliance has babes!"
Brett
- Brett is a douche

FOUTTE - Swaggy, Rockstar, Kaitlyn, Haleigh, Fessy
Swaggy C
- seems smart-ish in the 1st episode, he tries to think things through + consequences
- ok lol he's overplaying the cockiness now
Angie
- she's fine for now, I want more from her
- lol she loves the rainbow costume, of course she does
Kaitlyn
- she's nuts
- keeps saying namaste and it's annoying
- dove scene: she's still nuts
Haleigh
- Inoffensive but nothing there yet
Fessy
- boring jock

Bayleigh
- I thought I wouldn't like Bayleigh but her personality is really fun
- lol Swaggy C and Bayleigh, they're BOTH like 'they're totally into me, but obviously, I'm the one that's playing it cool"
- Kiss: grosssssssss he said she was like a little sister
- "I refuse to eat slop, it's something not fit for a queen"

Steve - he's ok
Scotty - they gave him nothing beyond him running away from a kiss

Sam - awwww sam, easily my favorite
- i love sam "yall fucking suck"
- I can see it be grating with her constant crying and victim noises as a robot, but I empathize with the loneliness and the general suckiness of her punishment
- Not very good with the diary room robot jokes though
- she just feels so wholesome

JC - he's ok, some fun moments

- personalities are great and I'm hyped with this group of people, feel like there's a lot of fun and a lot of potential
- 1st comp twist & reward is stupid, I don't like it
- doing it based on groups of 4 is stupid
- have-not room doesn't look bad. not like a cold tomb room or anything

Ep3 spoileries:
Sam
- she couldn't believe that she was trending and her first reaction was "why?" she's just so humble and wholesome
Fessy
- [unexcitedly] "why you doing this to your boy. [pause] your boy loves America."

Saw a preview for the third season of Australian Survivor earlier. Think the preview has been out for a week or so, but I rarely watch that channel it's on. I'm fairly sure it's also online for anyone interested (you have probably seen it already if you are interested).

Theme is Champions vs Challengers which has been known for a while. A few "champions" revealed in the preview are minor sports stars anyone outside of Australia would not recognize. I get the feeling that these "champions" will probably get a lot of the focus and it will probably ruin what they had going after a great season last year, when it was just regular Aussies.

I'll give it a fair shot, but I'm a bit worried what happened last time they tried a "celebrity" version of Survivor here may happen again. That was terrible. This SHOULD be better, but I can't see it living up to last season.

Apparently JC has been going around grabbing other houseguests' private parts (both male and female) with an ice cream scoop despite being told repeatedly to stop. Some fans have been calling for his expulsion.

I agree. I think best case scenario last night was Kaitlyn voting with her original alliance and Sam getting back in with her power. That way the Shitty Six still gets knocked back down to earth, but we don't lose the only consistently good character on their side of the house.

Brett/Winston are fun on the feeds. Rachel is decent too. Angela is boring. Kaycee is eh. Tyler is just playing well.

On the flip side Swaggy/Haleigh are great. Kaitlyn too.

Im not much a fan of Faysal/Bay/Rockstar yet.

For the middle: JC is fun, Sam is fun, Scottie is there.

I dont want Brett/Winston to leave though. Theyll go first before the girls most likely, but man are they doofuses.

These three and Sam are my favorites so far. Bayleigh, Faysal and Rockstar are a distant next tier down.

Brett/Winston/Angela/Rachel are the worst.

Kaitlyn has the potential to go way down though.

For example, if she puts up Faysal and Haleigh out of spite and jealousy (note - not watching feed, have no idea if these are the moms or if they have even done noms yet)

Man, yesterday's episode made it sound like it was super easy for them to get a seventh vote. In actuality it took days and days, before finally Tyler got Kaitlyn to come around (which happened just hours before). They also cut out that Brett and Winston at one point wanted to keep Steve, but couldn't convince the others that it was the smarter play, and that Tyler actually told Kaycee and then later the rest of L6 that Sam had the power. (spoilered in case they come back to show it later) There was also more drama involving Kaitlyn that likely caused her to flip.

I very much enjoy Level 6 (but this opinion heavily includes feeds-watching).

Brett/Winston are doofuses and I really enjoy not taking them seriously.
Rachel is subdued but is playing the game hard. I hope she finds her footing as the season goes on.
Angela is still there.
Kaycee is decent. Really sweet. I suspect she'll do well.
Tyler is the front-runner. Cool dude. Superfan and a good head on his shoulders. I'll find it tough to root against him even if he continues to be in control.

I see a lot of potential in Tyler as a character, but I don't think I'd like to see him win. A little too cocky, and too much of a DR shouter. Maybe an early-jury blindside.

It's half and half IMO. Terry and Sally are interesting characters and Austin at least has some personality that makes him fun enough to watch. Dan is nice but if it weren't for his profession/personal story he would be pretty generic. Nick and Ruth Marie are very boring. Misty had potential but she was gone way too early.

This is how I felt. I never thought La Mina was that bad but I found myself really liking Austin and Terry.

I mean, Casaya makes it look lopsided, but Terry is generic alpha dad, Nick is cardboard, Ruth Marie is cardboard, Sally rises above cardboard only by the circumstances of her underdog status, and Austin is a dick. Dan is the only kinda interesting one, and Misty was voted out too early to really shine.

In preparation for our own ranking, I'm rereading that EW ranking and I absolutely love this bit of trivia on South Pacific:

Heres another season I enjoy more than most. In fact, South Pacific was the only installment to get zero first-place votes in the fan ranking. It was also the only installment to get zero second-place votes. (It did get a single third-place vote, however, so yay for South Pacific!)
