Traitors & Taylors: Off and On Screen Drama

Welcome to Unscripted. A twice-weekly check-in for people who watch too much reality TV and somehow still want more. At Bracketology HQ, aka my living room, we eat, sleep, and breathe reality TV. Our goal is to deliver the stories that actually mattered this week straight to your inbox, so you’re still in the know even if you didn’t catch every episode. Miss something we should be covering? Send it my way.

TRENDING

• Netflix is at it again with the dating ‘experiments’ - they just dropped the trailer for Age Is Just a Number, a new show hosted by Nick Viall and Natalie Joy that keeps contestants’ ages hidden. Simple premise, potentially messy execution.
• It’s officially the end of an era on The Great British Bake Off. Prue Leith is stepping away, and her replacement has been announced. Cautiously open-minded, but it won’t feel the same without Prue.
• Survivor launched a nationwide idol hunt tied to Season 50 this week, sending fans across the country in search of clues. Demand was high enough to crash the CBS website shortly after launch.
• Love Is Blind is coming off its least successful season yet, with none of the Season 9 couples making it to two “I dos.” This week, the show revealed the Season 10 cast and announced the next setting will be Ohio. Not a city. The entire state.
• Bracketology has expanded into the Bravoverse with new prediction pools, where players can win real cash by forecasting what happens on The Real Housewives, Summer House, and beyond.

WHAT CAUGHT OUR EYE?

The Traitors is well-known for its fashion, but the outfits at last night’s banquet may have set a new standard. Please enjoy.

ASK THE AUDIENCE

As someone who has loved Rob Rausch since his first appearance on Love Island, I couldn’t be more thrilled that the rest of America is finally catching on. But he can’t be the only reality heart throb on TV right now.
