I am a big fan of the TV show Survivor, and It’s celebrating its 50th season with some of the greatest players ever. Jeff Probst is one of the great hosts in TV history, and he is bringing the heat. This year, the fans are in control of the game and so far they are being tough. Survivor is a cut-throat game, and that makes it great. It’s going to be fascinating to see who will be the greatest soul survivor.
The 19th season of this summer tradition has begun and a whole new set of house guests have checked into the Big Brother house with the theme of temptation. For the next 3 months or so I will be held hostage 3 days a week to see the drama unfold. One thing about Big Brother is you do not assume anything so we shall see what happens.
It’s time once again to fire up the cameras, turn on the lights and to see how total strangers get along with one another for the Summer. Big Brother which has versions around the world is a great social experiment. Julie Chen returns to host the American version which airs on CBS. Let’s see how the new crop of house guests do as they compete for $500,000 (which should be like a $1 million by now). I hope the “hamsters” are ready to expect the unexpected, do not assume anything.
Alisan Porter had a interesting journey to winning The Voice. She played Curly Sue in the movie by the same name. She was also on Star Search as a kid. Now she wins the American version of The Voice. Her vocal range can go from powerful to subtle. I can see why she won this. Her coach Christina Aguilera became the first woman coach to win too. Congratulations Alisan.
Every song. Every vote. Everything has led to this. #VoiceFinalehttps://t.co/hlpwZ2UrhL

Tonight the 10th season of NBC’s The Voice concludes with a two hour spectacular and the crowning of The Voice. It’s been a great season. I am pulling for Laith or Alisan.
The new season of Survivor is premiering tonight with a revisit of Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty. It’s hard to believe it’s here and from the promos this will be a brutal season. Survivor remains the granddaddy of all reality competition shows. They do a great job of keeping this show fresh and interesting. This will be very interesting all season.
