Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Wait … we haven’t talked about Widow’s Bay here yet? HOW HAVE I LET Y’ALL DOWN? How did I not tell you that the creator, Kate Dippold, wrote the pilot episode and submitted it as a writing sample to get a job on Parks and Recreation (and it worked)? And how did I not tell you that this is the same woman in the famous Babadook Halloween wine party tweet from about 10 years ago?

Bobby Flay is a cheapskate. How that man got a date after pulling this stunt is a mystery.

This historian points to the hysteria of the Salem Witch Trials to explain why the Faithfuls perform so poorly on The Traitors, and you know what? It makes total sense.
Ninja Warrioring is now an Olympic sport. BRING BACK BREAKDANCING, YOU COWARDS.
I’m very happy for these two and that they are navigating their relationship on their own terms, instead of the show’s.
Congratulations to Sawandi Wilson and Anna Eilinsfeld!
