We were shocked by Michaela going from setting up her camera for a good angle and saying "Okay, guys, let me show you how to make this squirrel pole..." to a complete breakdown two seconds later and tapping out lol

It's six, so if you didn't like the first one, you might want to cut your losses and move on to the next thing on your list lol. But I understand if you want to stick with it for SF, she's the only reason I didn't bail myself.

I absolutely love Anna Maxwell Martin @CharlizeCat but just from reading the description, I think that show might be a little too intense for me. I had no idea it was based on a true story! I finished Protection last night and it wasn't that good IMO. After the first couple of episodes, I just kept it on as background noise and was still able to keep up with the plot pretty easily.

In the last couple of weeks, I've finished the last season of Vera (insert major sad face), the new season of Shetland (love Tosh and very much enjoying Ashley Jensen), and S2 of Trigger Point. Vicky McClure, you're lucky I love you, because this show is a mess lol I also noticed a new show on Britbox called Protection. I'd never heard of it, but when I see Siobhan Finneran in something, I have to give it a shot. Looks like she's playing a cop who watches over people in witness protection. Anyone else watched it?

My family was rooting so hard for Ky. She was amazing.

Just finished the new episodes on Britbox and I love this little show. It's not too light and fluffy, ala Shakespeare and Hathaway, but nowhere near as dark as Shetland and Vera (all shows I really enjoy, I just have to be in the mood for them). It's just the right mix. McDonald is finally growing on me, and I love Dodds more each season.

I reject this news. It makes me too sad. But thank you for all these wonderful years, Brenda!!

Yeah, I'd never heard of him either @anniebird but his Wikipedia definitely makes him sound shady.

I laughed at the "Nineteen strangers..." thing in the opening too, especially with some of them saying they've known each other for twenty years lol. I guess the problem is that quite a few of the players are famous in NZ and I've never heard of any of them.

That is driving me crazy. I had to turn them off in order to try and figure out everyone's names, so I missed a bunch of the conversations. Seems like a no brainer when you're doing CC, not to cover the text.

I love Claudia so much, she is just magical. Nice to see that some of them are finally pinging onto the fact that Harry was a little too brilliant during the round table with Paul. I'm already spoiled about the outcome of the show, but it still hasn't taken away a single moment of enjoyment because I find this version vastly superior to the US one.

I couldn't get past how much the lead actress looks like a young Kristin Davis with some Maggie Q and Kim Kardashian thrown in.

I was so sad to have Nicky and her absolutely adorable accent leave the tent...but very thankful Saku gets another week! She is so sweet and she makes me laugh every episode.

I knew before I clicked that it would be an Alan Sepinwall article. His amazing website, where he did reviews of all the episodes back in the day, helped me fall in love with the show.

Very bold strategy from Emily, waiting a whole ten minutes into the game to basically go scorched earth with a sprinkling of possible racism for good measure. I'm definitely Team Kaleb and Sabiyah on that tribe - but I also had the same WTF look on my face that Emily did when the whole alien/battery pyramid theory was mentioned. Hopefully it never comes up again, so I can forget all about it. And of course I hated Hannah and Brandon. I know myself, I would get sick on the flight to Fiji and for sure sick on the boat, not to mention I hate bugs, the outdoors and physical competitions. Also, can't swim. So I would never audition to be on this show. As someone said earlier, those two obviously just wanted to be on TV. Clearly they should have tried for Big Brother instead.
