So which one did you end up buying?

TheGrimRecapper @thegrimrecapper.bsky.social · 1d

I was supposed to spend the day making notes for a podcast recording first thing tomorrow morning.

I spent four hours trying to help the people stalking Amazing Race spoilers make sense of Melbourne's insane geography and identifying the "welcome to Rand McNally!" person from a grainy photo.

I knew that would bait someone from Sydney lol xx

My one biggest issue with Sydney trains is always having to wait for the screens to scroll so I can see if a train's going the right direction around the loop. Also, like, Museum being called that when St James is closer lol

Look, joke all you want, but Australia has a very good suburban train system.

It's just the competent staff are in Sydney, the comfy trains are in Adelaide, the decent signage is in Melbourne, the affordable fares are in Brisbane, and the investment is in Perth.

Today has been a big day for people sending me HOLY SHIT-level reality TV spoilers.

TheGrimRecapper @thegrimrecapper.bsky.social · 2d

It's absurd. Like if it's "reality all-stars" and Gretel is here because of BB, why is the only BB person from Nine? If the whole reason for it is to push Ten's shows, why only one Masterchef, no Amazing Race, no Hunted, not even a Biggest Loser? They clearly aren't above deep cuts if Cosima's here.

Everyone has been a reality contestant. Rhys did Taskmaster and Dicko has done Dancing with the Stars, Celebrity Apprentice, and I'm a Celebrity.

The dust has more charisma.

TheGrimRecapper @thegrimrecapper.bsky.social · 2d

Dicko dressed up as a pirate for multiple episodes of Holey Moley, he is absolutely not above this.

Very clear they've decided "doing it our way didn't work, doing it the UK's way to cash in on them going viral didn't work, let's do it the US way now" without realising that outside of the terminally-online reality TV stalkers, nobody actually really likes that one either.

Ok but so does rancid yoghurt.

How is Sandra Kim apparently the most irritating Eurovision winner has-been in a world where Carola exists?

Me, watching #CelebrityTraitors UK with people like Stephen Fry and Charlotte Church and Clare Balding: "So when do the talentless reality TV hacks people would run into traffic to avoid arrive?"

Idea: That "how long to beat video games" website, but for "how long is the fucking tutorial?"

BrujoLoco☠️🖤🏺 @patnspankme.bsky.social · 3d

I loaded Street Fighter onto my Nintendo Switch 2 and like when tf did video games find it necessary to have these long ass intro videos? I think its been playing for three straight days when tf do I get to play the game?

In PORTLAND?! The "Keep Portland Weird" city?

Well, I never.

TheGrimRecapper @thegrimrecapper.bsky.social · 3d

That never really we t out of fashion tbh. Milgram's definitely been turned into a reality TV challenge multiple times.

Oh weird. He looks like the sort of person who'd get kicked off Big Brother UK for finding a way to be racist about Luxembourg.
