HOLLYWOOD—I’ve been eagerly waiting for the season finale of the 33rd season, yes, 33rd season of “Survivor.” The latest outing on the reality-competition series, ‘Millennials v. Gen X’ saw some of the best strategist to play the game go toe-to-toe. One week, you’re rooting for this character, the next week that character takes a surprising exit. There have been...

HOLLYWOOD─There are some major shakeups taking place in Salem on the NBC soap “Days of Our Lives.” For starters, the character of Stefano DiMera is back and working behind the scenes. I was on the fence about one of the greatest villains in daytime returning in a different body, but I am warming up to the idea of Steve...

HOLLYWOOD─It looks like awards season is moving along despite utter uncertainty in our country amidst the coronavirus pandemic. The contenders for the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday, July 28 and let’s just say there were some surprises people. Leading all contenders with 26 nominations was HBO’s “Watchmen,” followed by “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” with 20 nominations...

HOLLYWOOD—So “Big Brother 20” has officially arrived, and while it has become a staple of mine to recap each week of the summer for avid BB fans, be advised this first week is actually 3 weeks long. Yes, by the time the first eviction takes place the houseguests would have been in the house for at least 21 days....

HOLLYWOOD—I will have to say, I am slightly disappointed with the kickoff of “Big Brother 21.” The ugliness of some of these contestants really reared its head this week. We already talked about the shameful treatment of Kemi, Jessica, David and Ovi last week, but the mayhem continued more this week. With Camp Comeback in play, David returned to...

HOLLYWOOD—It truly felt like the end was near on the latest episode of “Power Book II: Ghost.” Why? SPOILER ALERT, some people died and some secrets were unveiled that will change everything. This week’s episode, ‘Sacrifice’ saw the walls beginning to close in for Tariq, Davis, Diana, Effie, Cane, Monet, Dru and anyone entangled in their drug empire mess....

HOLLYWOOD—Man it has been way too long! I’m ecstatic that Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and Have Nots” have returned. I mean I went nearly a month without being able to watch my guilty pleasure after that stunning episode where Oscar, Melissa and Erica all bite the dust. Yeah, the body count was huge, but this ultimately sets the stage...

BEVERLY HILLS—The 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were held on June 22 at the famed Beverly Hilton Hotel. The ceremony was an interesting one hosted by comedienne Kathy Griffin who threw out quite a few outlandish jokes to say the least. While many may have suspected Griffin to bomb, she was quite hilarious to say the least. The one thing...

HOLLYWOOD—It was the week that really tested the core alliance ‘The Leftovers’ on “Big Brother 24.” Look, I’m never a fan of boring TV, I like drama, I like conflict, but I was NOT ready to see this alliance that emerged in week 3 and turned the game upside down to falter and the dynamics absolutely shifted people. It...

HOLLYWOOD—Man, we knew Chloe was hiding out, but I never expected the writers to be to actually kill of her character on the CBS soap “The Young and the Restless.” I hate to say it, but Chloe has been the driving force for several major storylines in the past year on the soap, without her, quite a bit of...
