There are some weeks where reality TV is the perfect distraction to some of the more chaotic news taking up the airwaves. This week was one of those weeks, and because of that, we’ve got not one, but two big interviews for your recap of the best in reality TV this week. With everything happening in the world, sometimes it’s refreshing to dive into the world of entertainment where the stakes seem high, but the consequences are far less serious.
Before we get into it, make sure you’re subscribed to the For the Culture newsletter for all things entertainment and to the Parting Shot Podcast with H. Alan Scott for celebrity interviews and reactions to what’s going on in pop culture and how it interacts with politics and news. Also, spoilers abound below, so read at your own risk!
Do you remember that viral video from E!’s House of Villains involving Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice and Survivor’s Richard Hatch? Giudice, in true form, asked Hatch about his sexual preferences in bed. Hatch revealed to Newsweek that encounter "changed my life." We chatted with Hatch about that moment and where he thinks his game went wrong before he was voted out of the House of Villains house. House of Villains airs Wednesdays on E!
While we’re on the topic of Survivor players, I also spoke with the latest contestant voted off the island, Rome, who had a particularly controversial game. This week’s episode was exciting as it marked the merge, where the tribes come together as one, making the game much more individualistic. Survivor airs Wednesdays on CBS.
