Reality TV Warriors

A Brain for Instruments

Learn something new today that you can't really share with anybody, as we are back for Hunted UK's lucky seventh series! Over these six weeks (regardless of Channel 4's broadcast schedule), three people who aren't fans of privilege - Michael, Anthony & Michelle return to recap the hunt for twelve new fugitives who are spread out all over the UK in a quest to escape capture and win a share of £100,000 - continuing with the third episode and capture of Beth.
In this episode - we're still being misled, Michelle's loyalty is being tested, the podcast leaks into real life, some rules get skirted, Jordan & James are in capture jail, we go down a recorder rabbit hole, there's some monkeying with the timeline, we learn what a "Pleasure Park" is in Australia, Doug does a swear, Lisa's edit softens, Jack gets a eulogy, there's a really bad frankenedit, Anthony is glad of subtitles, Thady is a big deal, one of Michael's favourite phrases appears, Beth wears only the second-worst disguise of the series, we try not to have another Elissa Slater incident, the word "literally" gets misused, we wonder if Jack will get away with his flight, a bloodbath is overdue, there are some rare predictions and Michael has some thoughts on the briefcase of cash.
Thank you for listening to this episode - we will see you next week for Episode 4!
 
Additional note: Are you enjoying this series as much as we are? It's refreshing to have it be on once a week again!

It's Just N

Talk about your scrotum for six seconds too long, because we're back for De Mol België Season 12 - and its visit to the place Logan's ancestors fled under the cloak of darkness - Sicily! Over these nine weeks, three guys who aren't olive pluckers, they're olive pluckers' sons - Michael, Logan & Bindles - will be recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who has been given an offer that they couldn't refuse - to become the Mole - beginning with the premiere and elimination of Gillian!
In this episode - Logan continues with his offensive descriptions, a traditional question returns, The Mole infiltrates Michael's life, this season approaches the Aaf Brandt Corstius Line, everyone's favourite impression is back, someone gets lined up to dub for Gilles, we spot a subtle theme, there was an audible reaction to the Real Madrid snafu, the cast photos are already iconic, Michaël teaches us something, Bindles panders to the bingo people, someone turns into Jackie Stallone, the hexagons get rebranded, we got misled in the trailers, Bindles & Michael get in sync, we find the perfect jokes to make on Holy Week, Michael tries to work out the maximum amount of olives, Senne's weight loss becomes even more impressive, Logan has met the guy who created Big Brother, a joke is pre-emptively stolen, the Mole's tactics are analysed, this season proves to be lucrative, our first boot gets a special eulogy, the sponsors will be happy, we try and guess what the impact of Pandora's Box will be, our first suspicions are locked in, Logan reveals his descriptions and we wonder if we're being pandered to again.
You can join in with our First Suspicions game by filling in the form here and play along with this week's Bother's Bar Suspect List here. We will see you next week for Episode 2!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-24 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made. This episode may also contain references to WIDM Season 1.
Additional note: Is Gilles going to approve of being nicknamed Pasta Bear or Papá Orso now? Probably not!

A Whole Lot of Stupid Going On

Take a literal walk down memory lane, as we are back for Hunted UK's lucky seventh series! Over these six weeks (regardless of Channel 4's broadcast schedule), three people who are still trying to find the Hunters' main asset - Michael, Anthony & Michelle recap the hunt for twelve new fugitives who are spread out all over the UK in a quest to escape capture and win a share of £100,000 - continuing with the second episode and capture of Steve.
In this episode - Michael's jokes come back to bite him, Michelle's been out socialising, Anthony has had a weekend of two halves, there is some big news to do with an Australian icon, we get a semi-definitive answer on whether fugitives could fly, someone is already dead to us, we try and remember if we saw any posters, the edit slightly misleads us, there is a winner prediction already, we spot some more monkeying with the timeline, Lisa's insults get ranked, Anthony has some experience with the Manchester Hilton, our ire turns to the Hunters, some predictions already come home to roost, Beth may have an advantage and this episode earns a very interesting record.
Thank you for listening to this episode - we will see you next week for Episode 3!
 
Additional note: Guess which word would be the centre square on a bingo card this week? No-one really covers themselves in glory...

The Harlow Connection

Be sometimes amazed, as we are back for Hunted UK's lucky seventh series! Over the next six weeks (regardless of Channel 4's broadcast schedule), three people who are never nasty to people's faces - Michael, Anthony & Michelle return to recap the hunt for twelve new fugitives who are spread out all over the UK in a quest to escape capture and win a share of £100,000 - beginning with the first episode and capture of Christine & Munya.
In this episode - we realise just how long it has been since we last discussed Hunted, Michael has been off making friends of friends, Michelle's been out meeting a good Australian TV host (and also Beau Ryan), there is some scandal brewing with the Hunters, someone tries to get themselves a new nickname, Michelle finds a rare bit of common ground with the Chief, Dr Steve Hersee finds himself on Anthony & Michelle's bad side, we launch a new segment, there's a new bit of eye candy in HQ, someone tells a disappointingly bad pun, Ray tries to convince us that Lisa isn't horrible, the Hunters are pantomime villains again, we try and work out if anyone's getting a winners' edit, Ring doorbells are now a thing, one edit gets (potentially) softened, we wonder if the Hunters actually saw Jack & Alex and we try and work out whose list the Hunters will find.
Thank you for listening to this episode - we will see you next week for Episode 2!
 
Additional note: Anthony & Michelle are back, and we're so pleased Hunted is too - hopefully it's another fun series!

My Heart Will Go Fons

Read the room, a book or a word, because a new decade of Reality TV Warriors begins with Wie is de Mol 2024: Les 9 Atouts du Rik van der Westelaken - and WIDM continues following België's lead and heads back to Mexico! Over these ten weeks, three guys who are just so gloriously unimpressed with everything this season - Michael, Logan & Bindles - are recapping and breaking down everything that happens on the show's return to Mexico in our twentieth Mole season, continuing with the ninth episode and elimination of Kees!
In this episode - we disagree on whether it's a final three or four, Rik Seacrests us, we begin with an apology (sort of), there is finally some news about België, Logan workshops a new nickname, there has been some genuine controversy on the Amazing Race subreddit, last week might have been a double execution, a theory is refuted, a dilemma is added to the ziplines, we wonder why we've seen nothing of Fons & Rosario's bondje, the pot proves to be record-breaking, someone gets ruled out, there are the latest updates to the Pool and First Suspicions, Michael reveals if he's going to the finale, the final guesses for who the Mole is are locked in and we wonder what will happen if we're all right all season.
You can play along with this week's Bother's Bar Suspect List here. We will see you next week for the reunion and reveal!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made. This episode may also contain references to WIDM Season 3.
Additional note: Anna is the Mole, right? I mean, we could try and build up some intrigue but we're all on for a clean sweep here.
