While other archaeologists have their noses in their books, Lara Croft is outrunning fireballs, diving into caverns, and jumping from motorcycles in Netflix’s new teaser for the animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. Netflix says that the series will start streaming on October 10 and will “chart the globetrotting heroine’s next chapter as the iconic adventurer” following the events of the Survivor trilogy of video games. “More than 25 years after her first appearance, Lara Croft continues to explore ancient mysteries and uncover lost truths across breathtaking and dangerous destinations,” the streamer adds. “Following the events of the Survivor series, Lara Croft has abandoned her friends to embark on increasingly more perilous solo adventures. But she must return home when a dangerous and powerful Chinese artifact is stolen from Croft Manor by a thief with an uncanny personal connection. Her daring ...

Glen Powell was probably one of the best parts of 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick. Sure, the story and the action sequences were pretty damn good too but Hangman was certainly a treat to the eyes. However, Glen Powell was not always this ripped, obviously. It took a lot of perseverance and “Endurance” to get where he is today, quite literally.
Glen Powell in Top Gun: Maverick (2022) | Paramount Pictures
When Glen Powell was in his teenage years, he was offered a part in Endurance, a reality show that follows a similar script to that of CBS’ Survivor. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out for the actor on the show and he was eliminated much earlier than he expected. When he went back to school, he faced a lot of embarrassment thanks to his fellow students. That was when Glen Powell decided that he was going to turn his life around for good.

Many fans feel that they can say and do whatever they want when it comes to reality TV stars. However, when it comes to the Survivor producers, they have a message for their fans. While fans feel they have the First Amendment right to say anything hateful they want, this reality show prefers its fans to “practice kindness.”
Here is what the reality show had to say to its fans about not being cruel.
Survivor Calls Out Fans For Hateful Comments
Too many fans today love to mock and send hateful comments to people who compete on reality TV shows. It seems that being anonymous and being a keyboard means people know they can be as cruel and hateful as they want without facing repercussions for their poor attitudes. Survivor has had enough of it.

Charlie Davis spoke about investing in himself and finishing school while on Survivor 46.
He did exactly that and finished law school. Now he can begin the next chapter in his life.
Charlie became a fan-favorite Season 46 castaway, often relating Taylor Swift’s lyrics to what he was experiencing in Fiji.
It even led to a jury member ordering him not to mention Taylor Swift as he tried to get their votes.
Now back in the United States, Charlie can quote his favorite singer as often as he wants. And that happened in a recent video shared online.
Charlie shared a video where he was in the shower singing about why he was saddened by Maria Gonzalez not voting for him. Of course, Taylor Swift’s music was playing.

Survivor 46 recently ended with three people hoping for jury votes.
And while only two people got votes, it doesn’t mean the show should revert to a final two.
For the New Era, one person wins the final Immunity Challenge and gets to choose a second person to join them in the final three.
The Immunity Challenge winner must also decide which two people battle in a Fire-Making Challenge.
It leads to three people sitting at the end for the eight-person jury to vote on.
Some Survivor fans feel that only two people in front of the jury would be a better solution.
Why it’s better to have a final three than a final two
When Survivor has a final three, it usually ensures that two deserving candidates have made it to the end. There could still be an obvious one-sided choice by the jury, but at least they must mull their votes.

When Jeff Probst declared at the start of “Survivor” Season 41 that the “New Era” could best be described as, “Drop the 4, keep the 1,” he wasn’t kidding. It’s clear the host/producer envisions the revamped version of the reality TV show that takes place post-Covid and with more diversity representation as a fresh start. That’s likely why we haven’t had any players from the first 40 seasons pop up on our TV screens in a long while. In fact, the last comeback cycle was “Winners at War,” which welcomed back 20 past champions for Season 40 in 2020.

Saturday Night Live remains a hit with the youth.
The long-running NBC show, which just finished up Season 49, remained the number one entertainment series across ad-supported broadcast and cable in the 18-49 demo for the 2023-24 season.
It earned a 1.13 in the demo, beating out series such as Fox’s Krapopolis, which got a 1.1, and CBS’ Survivor and Tracker, which both got a 1.0.
This meant that the show was the number one comedy in the demo for the fifth season in a row.
This was, however, down from numbers posted over the last few years. For instance, in 2021, the show got a 2.06 in the demo. That year it drew 9 million total viewers overall in Live+7 numbers.
In the 2023/24 broadcast season, the show averaged 7.2 million viewers, per Nielsen. This was up 3% from last year.
These numbers, particularly among younger viewers, were presumably helped by hosts such as Pete Davidson, Bad Bunny,...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” continued its 9th season on Friday, May 31 with the fourth episode featuring returning queens from seasons past. In the sister series “Untucked,” now in its 6th “All Stars” season, the queens throw back a cocktail and dish the dirt backstage on the latest challenge. Check out our recap of “Untucked” episode 4 below.
This week the queens competed in “Smokin’ Hot Firefighter Makeovers,” bringing a male firefighter into the fold with a makeover and dancing in a girl group performance challenge. Prior to RuPaul Charles announcing the official top two performers of the week next to earn the coveted Beautiful Benefactress Badges, the queens gathered backstage with the firefighters to reflect on the fashion-focused challenge.
For the firefighters, used to be called heroes, the drag queens were the heroes this week, as Adam put it, for being “unapologetically you guys” and being an inspiration to so many people back home.

On May 31, 2000, CBS unveiled Survivor, a reality competition series produced by Mark Burnett that would become a juggernaut, inspiring spinoffs and imitators over the ensuing decades. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review of its season 1 premiere is below:
The concept is insulting, the presentation is deceptive and the narration is laughingly overdramatic, and yet somehow, Survivor turns all of this into intriguing television that practically dares you to click the remote, knowing that you won’t.
In the U.S. version of this British reality show, 16 people are divided into two teams and dropped off a couple hours’ swim from a remote island in the South China Sea. They are given a baffling array of supplies, including knives, fishing traps, cans of food, a map to potable water and even a team flag, but no matches or port-a-potties. Clearly, this is no three-hour tour.

Hunter looked like someone who could win Survivor 46 early in the season. But it just wasn’t meant to be, as he also became a threat to many players.

On finale night, Hunter voted for Charlie Davis to win. He was one of only three people who voted for Charlie, and Kenzie Petty became the Survivor 46 winner.

Survivor 46 players have been receiving backlash due to events from the recent season.

Maria and Charlie had worked together for most of the season, but on finale night, Maria voted for Kenzie Petty to win the $1 million prize.
The Survivor 46 jury also appeared to treat Charlie and Ben Katzman harshly as the players argued about why they deserved to win.
Disagreements between castaways also surfaced on social media as the season wound down.
Venus Vafa said Ponderosa was “traumatizing” for her, leading to online feuds with several castaways. And then fans piled on.

Want to take an island vacation this summer? All six seasons of Lost are returning to Netflix in the US on July 1, giving die-hard fans and newcomers alike a chance to enjoy the mind-bending drama all over again. The series originally ran from 2004 to 2010, premiering just days before Desperate Housewives and a few months before Grey’s Anatomy. It became an immediate hit, and it all came from an executive named Lloyd Braun sitting on a beach in Hawaii, thinking of ways to turn his vacation into a TV show. Inspired by the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away and the massive, game-changing reality competition series Survivor, Braun came up with a title — Lost — and a vague concept of plane crash survivors and total strangers learning to survive together while leaving their pasts behind.

While some Survivor fans are already looking ahead to Season 50, we still have three new seasons to play before that momentous installment.

While some Survivor fans are already looking ahead to Season 50, we still have three new seasons to play before that momentous installment.
As usual, host Jeff Probst has been teasing details about what is happening in Fiji.

For decades, TV shows lived and died by their ratings among adults 18-49, the demographic sweet spot for advertisers to reach a wide swath of potential customers with money to spend but without the lifelong habits about how to spend it. That’s not really the case anymore as an emphasis on engagement and reach in the streaming era, along with a focus on precisely targeted ads, means chasing demos is even more data-driven than it was in the pre-streaming age. That shift aligns with the reality that, thanks to streaming and the relentless pull of algorithmic content apps, only a small part of a given show’s on-air audience falls into the once coveted demo.
The median age for a network primetime viewer long has been above 50 — this year, it comes in at 64.6 for the five English-language broadcast networks. Cable is much the same, with such networks as Bravo...

On May 28, “America’s Got Talent” season 19 began with the first installment of audition episodes. In this initial stage of the competition, each judge is given two “golden buzzer” decisions to make where they can send an act straight through to the live shows. As host, Terry Crews had one choice to make for his “golden buzzer,” and he was not shy about using it on the premiere to give comedian Learnmore Jonasi the show’s highest honor. Watch the full performance in the video above.
Ahead of his audition, Learnmore expressed his excitement and gratitude for having the opportunity to come from Zimbabwe and be in Los Angeles to perform in front of Terry and the judges. When he met Terry backstage he told him that he was a big inspiration and changed his life. At that point, he said “nothing will top this” and he would have been satisfied...

In this initial stage of the competition, each judge is given two “golden buzzer” decisions to make where they can send an act straight through to the live shows. At the end of the evening, Heidi Klum was filled with all the feels after hearing 55 year old Richard Goodall sing “Don’t Stop Believing,” and awarded him her first golden buzzer. Watch the full performance in the video above.
When Richard came to the stage to meet the judges, it was apparent that he was incredibly nervous.

Kenzie Petty surprised fans when she won Survivor 46. While many felt that Charlie Davis would win, Charlie’s ally Maria Shrime Gonzalez blindsided him and voted for Kenzie. Now, Kenzie is doing interviews and keeping up with fans as the new champion. In her most recent social media post, she showed a major change.

Regular old CBS can still make new hits.
That’s the takeaway from Nielsen’s report on the 100 most-watched primetime broadcast and cable series of the 2023-24 season (via Variety), which lists the freshman drama series “Tracker” as TV’s top non-sports program. It’s the first time a new series has been the No. 1 show since “Survivor” in 2000, per CBS.
“Tracker” capitalized on its coveted post-Super Bowl series premiere slot and lack of new series competition in the midst of a strike-disrupted broadcast season, averaging 10.8 million total viewers per episode in Season 1 on the way to becoming the most-watched new series since “Desperate Housewives” in 2024-25. The series, which stars “This Is Us” veteran Justin Hartley as a survivalist who helps find missing persons, beat out second-place drama “NCIS” by more than a million viewers.
CBS also has the year’s top comedy series, the final season of “Young Sheldon.

TV audiences tracked down “Tracker” in a big way this season. The freshman CBS drama, which stars Justin Hartley as a survivalist who helps law enforcement and others solve tough cases, was the 2023-24 TV season’s most-watched entertainment series. According to the Eye network, that’s the first time a first-year TV series was ranked as the No. 1 show since “Survivor” premiered as an instant phenomenon in 2000.
“Tracker” was helped, of course, by premiering in February behind Super Bowl Lviii — giving it a huge jump start. And this was an unusual, truncated TV season due to the Hollywood strikes, which meant limited episodic orders for most programs. Last year’s top-rated show, Paramount Network’s “Yellowstone,” hasn’t aired an original episode in more than a year — and yet still made the charts, but via repeats that aired this season on CBS.

Survivor 46 winner Kenzie Pretty just debuted a shocking new hairstyle that shakes things up.
Survivor fans may have become familiar with Kenzie’s long red hair on the show, but that’s not her natural hair color.
After her time in Fiji, Kenzie began growing out her natural hair. It’s entirely possible that she decided to go that route instead of using hair dye.
Kenzie recently revealed that she is pregnant, so going back to her normal hair color might be a result.
The baby is with her husband, who patiently waited for her to finish playing Survivor to celebrate their union. The topic of her wedding came up during Survivor, and she mentioned that it had been pushed back.
Kenzie also noted that she hasn’t gone back to her natural color ” in about 16 years.”

When it was time to pick a winner, the Survivor 46 jury certainly had some barbs for the final three players.
Maybe it stemmed from the bitterness they were experiencing from getting blindsided with Immunity Idols in their pockets because some jury members were short with Ben Katzman and Charlie Davis.

Survivor fans have enjoyed the past few years when pop star Sia awarded her own money to contestants. However, Jeff Probst announced this week that Sia has chosen not to take part in giving out money anymore. While it has come to an end, one Season 46 contestant wants to personally keep this idea alive.
Here is who wants to replace Sia in awarding prize money and how they want to start this endeavor.
Survivor Contestant Wants To Start Their Own Prize Fund
Sia has awarded her favorite Survivor contestants cash prizes every year since 2016. That year, she gave $50,000 to Tai Trang and another $50,000 to an animal charity of his choice. Since then, she has given almost $1 million to 19 players over 14 seasons. However, Jeff Probst said that Sia has chosen to step back from her donations.
