need help finding a show need help finding a show

SOLVED!!! it's called New World on netflix!!! there was this show on some streaming service, i want to say netflix but i'm not sure. i only watched the first one or two episodes. but it was these contestants, i'm not sure what the incentive was or the prize, but they were all shipped out to this nice luxurious island. they got their dream houses and a phone with tasks on them. in the first episode they got to explore the island and there was a parade going on and at the same time on the other side of the island TWICE or BLACKPINK was doing a concert. if this sounds familiar or you know what i'm talking about PLEEEAASSEE help a girl out.


Traitors US and UK filming side by side? Traitors US and UK filming side by side?

Spoiler alert So I'm watching the US Traitors and the UK version, both season 2, both filmed at the same castle in Scotland and it appears to be Autumn for both. The challenges are the same and everything. Reading online, none of the players actually stay the night in the castle but are instead transported to a hotel every night. It got me thinking that to maybe save on production costs and time, both shows were likely filmed during the same weeks. That way you'd have a catering contract for a month, PAs and film crew for a month, etc all set up at the same time and shared. Even the color-coded buffalo plaid lumberjack shirts were re-used between shows. It seems highly possible that they could have the UK cast out doing a challenge while the US cast is in the castle having lunch, interviewing, and scheming. Then switch. Does anyone know if these were filmed back to back or at the exact same time, splitting filming time?

What tips or advice would you give someone who was chosen to be a contestant on a long-term reality show? They've already signed the contract to go on the show.

What are some good rules of thumb to remember to prevent yourself from tanking mentally, missing family, or going insane from all the manipulation?

Think "America's Next Top Model"-type shows.

I'm posting this in a few subreddits to gather responses.



Another NEW rule: video must be related to reality TV series (stopgap rule, actually) MOD Another NEW rule: video must be related to reality TV series (stopgap rule, actually)

Starting today on 1 June 2024, if you like to share a video, that video must be about a reality TV series. A video can be a video clip, a whole episode, a video review, or any other video.

However, that reality TV series must be first distributed by either a broadcast or cable network or a streaming service that either is ad-filled (like Tubi or Pluto TV) or requires subscription (like Netflix).

A reality TV series cannot be a self-produced series first posted on YouTube! The series cannot be user-generated or amateur(ish) either!

Furthermore, a video clip or a whole episode must BE authorized by either a production company that produces the series or a legitimate licensee that has authority to distribute the series, like a network or streaming service that generates money from commercials (especially for free content) or requires subscription.

Please note: the rule is a stopgap (if not indefinite) rule. I just don't have enough space to declare the rule a "stopgap". Able to label the rule clearly in the title, not description.







Best Reality shows that are unscripted Best Reality shows that are unscripted

Hey everyone I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but IYO what are the best unscripted reality shows

I can't stand reality TV that is clearly scripted or heavily scripted or that the cast are being really fake shows such as TOWIE just feel really fake.

I'm not naive I understand that certain aspects of shows like below deck, such as guests and crew members selections are chosen ahead of time by the shows producers but it feels like the interactions and cast are genuine and I can't get enough of them.

TIA 😁


Below Deck is the Best Below Deck is the Best

Hi guys what do you guys think of Below Deck? It's become one of my favorite reality shows and I just can't get enough of it. I think I heard of the show through social media but I don't remember when I discovered it. The show feels very real because if you look up the charter guests that go on the yachts they are all real people. The crew also are real employees and their backgrounds are able to be googled. It's super entertaining and has a lot of drama throughout the crew and even the guests. Some scenes I'm sure are a bit embellished or the producers for sure might tell them to do something extra but for the most part the show seems authentic and the beef between the crew members seems very real. What do you guys think?





Ads for Rizz "the reality show" app Ads for Rizz "the reality show" app

Has anyone else gotten ads for this app? I saw some on Instagram and downloaded it without digging into it lol. Most of the people on it are in LA studying film or musicians etc. I read a comment on another post on Reddit that it's for LA residents only (I'm from Texas and still could join). Anyone know the real story behind it?

I'm guessing LA based app developers and TV producers came together to create the app as a means to promote the "show". I'm sure it's already cast (insert beautiful "actors/film majors") and they're asking people to joined the "cast" to gather more traffic) viewers. Curious to hear other conspiracies!


Season 6 of The Circle is boring and fake.. Season 6 of The Circle is boring and fake..

This season of US the circle (6) is unwatchable to me. I've watched all seasons of the UK and US versions and this season is different. The contestants have clearly been told by producers to overact, dance around and act extra af to any alert. The chat between contestants is soo sedate, surface level, cheesy and boring. It feels scripted and phony. Where are all the catfishes which made the show interesting? There's literally 1 catfish? The AI was obv controlled and adjusted to fit what the producers wanted. I hate overproduced, phony, manipulated tv. It seems Americans do this a lot, when 'real' reality TV is so much more interesting. Watch the first season of UK circle to see the difference.
