Reality TV Recap Podcasts are No More [Focusing on TV & Movies Feeds]

         The CBOTW Show is turning the page and entering a new era of entertainment coverage!

We've got an important announcement to share with our listeners and readers. After spending time producing dedicated reality television recap podcasts, we're making a major change to our podcast lineup.

Reality TV recap podcasts are no more!

That's right. We're shifting our attention toward our TV & Movies feeds, where we'll have more opportunities to cover television series, movies, entertainment news, reviews, discussions, and much more.

Why Are We Making This Change?

As The CBOTW Show continues to grow and evolve, it's important that we focus our production efforts on the content we want to develop moving forward.

Producing individual reality TV recap podcasts takes time, planning, editing, and promotion. We want to put those efforts toward expanding our television and movie coverage.

This isn't the end of entertainment coverage. It's a change in direction!

What Can You Expect From The CBOTW Show?

Our focus will now include:

• Television Coverage: Discussions, episode recaps, season reviews, and television-related features.

• Movie Coverage: Movie reviews, discussions, previews, and entertainment features.

• Entertainment News: Updates, announcements, casting news, and developments from the entertainment industry.

• Special Features: Retrospectives, rankings, themed discussions, and other entertainment projects.

What About Our Existing Reality TV Coverage?

Our dedicated reality TV recap podcast production is coming to an end as we reorganize our feeds and production schedule.

We appreciate everyone who followed our reality TV coverage, including our Survivor discussions and other reality television projects.

Thank you for being part of that journey!

A New Chapter for The CBOTW Show

This decision gives us an opportunity to concentrate on building our TV & Movies feeds and developing a more organized production schedule.

We're excited about what's ahead and look forward to bringing our audience more television and movie conversations.

The CBOTW Show isn't going anywhere. We're simply changing our focus and making room for new opportunities.

More TV. More Movies. More Entertainment.

Welcome to the next chapter of The CBOTW Show!

Stay tuned for upcoming announcements, new episodes, and more entertainment coverage.

Survivor 51, EP # 7 Chat

       First of all I'm sorry the Reality TV Recaps didn't last and at least finish this season and we could of and should have stayed on Audio ONLY but The MERGE is here! and least you guys get a blog here and we hope to try Reality TV Recaps in 2027 again and really try and build that network within the main network. So to the post: the tribes merged and they got a merge feast which we have not seen in a very long time however the cavoite of it all they had to earn it and only 10 of the 13 earn it and the other 3 do not get the merge feast. 

       So this means individual immunity is in place and Christian got information from Kristen from Toka to what was going on. Kristen showed Sharonda the idle and gave her the idle to hold and she is in charge when she plays it for her. Toka 8 and Savu 7 Toka can do away with the Savu Tribe. Individual Immunity they have to hold a whale statue and in intervals you will move down your beam which gets narrower as they progress and last one standing wins individual immunity. Now there were a bunch of names and one of them was Kristen as she become more and more powerful and dangerous but the duo of Devin and Jelly another dangerous players in the game in a duo. At Tribal Brady was voted out and first member of the jury. That is my post, I should have more posts later on today.

Traitors Canada S4; EP7 Thoughts?

       Loving it especially with the fruit gate still a thing as they checked to see if there is any strawberries on the table so strawberry gate is still a thing and the guests in the house are aware of anything that looks out of sort. It is good they are aware of their surroundings.

      Loving Spicy Vee and Sherod the two traitors and they are doing so well. At this point, Ty hasn't become a traitor from being an intern or whatever they called it. Anyways the end gam is coming and only a handful of episodes remaining for  the season and excited to see how the rest of this season plays out for us and my hopes is for Spicy Vee and Sherod to win. I know their suspicious of Spicy Vee but she is so good at this game so I am feeling pretty good. Anyways I will talk to you all on the next post later on as I have 3 more posts to do.

Chat has been upgraded a tad! [Huge News!]

      There has been a bit of an update as there is now another way to support our LIVE Podcast shows is to go to http://www.thecbotwshow.com/p/chat.html or by hitting the chat tab. There are 3 ways to support the shows, Facebook.com/TheCBOTWShow, the Chat page as I said and also YouTube.com/@TheCBOTWShow for all the shows.

       Now the premieres will be exclusive to YouTube ONLY and seems only fair. You don't have to have an account to watch a premiere but if you want to chat on YouTube yes you will have to have a Google account. For Live shows thought. You have 3 options and least with the website you don't have to log into the chat here on the website, you can listen but least there is 3 options if you do want to talk. Anyways that is the post for today, talk to you all on the next one.

Traitors Canada & US Thoughts [So Far!]

      Traitors Canada is sooooo good this year. Especially with Spicy V as a traitor and she is absolutely crushing it this season. I am routing for her and also Ty who got a second chance to play the Traitors as he wasn't picked and murdered last season if I remember. Really am enjoying Sharrod as a Traitor as well and I think the traitors have what it takes to take the long game with Traitors Canada. Also the heir twist is awesome and I can see what Spicy Vee is doing. Also the poisoned strawberry aka the fruit gate was hilarious and nerve wracking at the same time.

      Loving Traitors US as well from Faithful's not getting out the traitor till they finally got out an accomplice which was X (Xavier), also Katie becomes the little traitor as they called her and I love Katie and excited to see her continue on. They got out Tomica as a traitor which was great as it's taken them quite some time to get a traitor out. This season also had fruit gate too which Jay was really pushing fruit gate and it took so long till they listened that Tomica had a fruit but technically it was Joe. Also Victor having 9 lives as he was suppose to be banished but he was saved with the power of the pardon which I really like that power. Anyways I am enjoying both editions of The Traitors and Stay tuned for Amazing Race 39 blog coming soon.

We're Popular on iTunes!

       We finally hit the big leagues as our main feed for The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies has become popular on iTunes and this is the very first time this has happened to us even after ChrisBOnTheWeb Media ending we still weren't featured or popular minus Player FM we were featured but still iTunes is a huge accomplishment as it is a huge platform!

   So I am very impressed that we have become a popular podcast and thank you to everyone that left a rating on our show we appreciate your reviews and the fact you guys enjoy both of our shows feeds we see the love and we appreciate you guys for always supporting us. We have added our shows to Tunein.com, iHeartRadio, Player FM, Amazon Music, Podchaser and many more! Anyway that is the post for today, will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.

Growth Takes Time, Planning for the Future!

      As you know our network is forever a growing network and we have been planning the future of the network more into the Reality TV Feed as we have shows looking for hosts within the Reality TV Recaps podcast and I am not saying that the main feed isn't going to be adding shows and we are planning to add ppl to the team for that one too but the focus today on this blog is Reality TV Recaps:

Traitors US & Traitors Canada: Will have responsibility for both the Canadian and US versions of the show. Will be on both Video and Audio ONLY Platforms

Amazing Race & Amazing Race Canada: Same with both will be responsible for both of the shows. Will be on Audio ONLY Platforms. I may snag this show for myself if we cannot find a host. 

Big Brother US & Big Brother Canada: Will have responsibility for both the Canadian and US versions of the show. December we will be starting the process to grow our team even further. Both of these shows will be on Video and Audio ONLY platforms.

           There is our list of planned expansions to start with and then we will be going from there with the growth and always room to expand everything as we go on. Anyways that is the first post out of two and as always talk to you all this afternoon.

Chris

Our New, Cool Chatroom is Up!

       Chat is back up and running and hopefully there will be no problems with this chat but shouldn't as this is also IP ban based when it comes to the chat system we have in place on our website. The layout design I used with the help of AI but I coded the chat community rules and the chat area and just asked AI to make it nicer and it didn't disappoint me whatsoever.

      So check it out on our chat tab talk and hangout with our team and other community members it will be a great time and chat and great way to get to know the other members. However if there is anything out of sort it will be removed but let's stay positive as we hope this chat works out and so far it's been quiet but in due time people will discover it. Anyways check it out and I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post. 

Chris

Made an adjustment or two!

        I am beyond frustrated with this show and I honestly thought we had something good going to being ignored, lied to and attitude it is just time for us to really enforce our rules our Terms of Use finally and it should have been enforced long time ago to it's full extent. We may not have Discord anymore but we are planning to resurrect the old chatroom here on our website. It will be heavily moderated by our staff and we will be keeping an eye out on things forward. 

      I really want to do everything off the website and no more of these 3rd party site because the views are here again just to get those thousands a day again will take time. I will do a separate blog on that soon as possible. I am so excited to be working more with our website, social media and YouTube moving forward and nothing else, no more Discord Servers but Jbird, Larry and myself will be using it to record and/or stream on there. Anyways talk to you on the next post. 

Chris

I Have a Thought!

      I know we have acquired the old Survivor Podcasts that I recorded between 2016 and end of 2020 and we will be getting to it soon! I plan on doing Music City once this season of Survivor is completed and 4 episodes I believe need to be completed first. 

       So this idea for Survivor I am planning to wait till Survivor 52 is finished and that way I can work on it during the Summer on this and we hope to have at least Big Brother host for the summer season in the meantime and gives me time off to work on adding the Survivor Shows from 2016 - 2020. Anyways It's a time consuming project for us and in time it will be part of the series. Maybe that is the better idea rather then ending The Reality TV Recaps and lose everything that we have built in the second feed. You've gotta think before you decide because you might make the wrong decision and regret the decision. Talk to you all on the next post.

It's a marathon, not a sprint!

         I am learning priorities and taking it one thing at a time and I find having a schedule to follow especially on the whiteboard above the computer here in the studio and it is something I am going to follow moving forward.

      One thing that isn't scheduled is the blogs as they are very sporadic right now and hope tomorrow to catch up on Amazing Race as I need to watch and catch up with the show and obviously blog an update with it. Still its a marathon not a race and working on editing which has my brain thinking about something that we are trying to work on which can be done later but more tomorrow about that. I am just going take one episode at a time until I finished each and everyone. Anyways I will talk to you on the next one. 

Chris

Lots to Edit This Weekend!

       This weekend there will be a lot of work to do and get done and expect me to be very quiet online this weekend as I will be primarily focusing on all of the editing and making shorts and getting things scheduled for the posts. The occasional post will occur and I will try and do an update on the progress.

      This is one of the reasons why I have cancelled all streams for the remainder of 2026 to focus and get every show done and try and build this network up and get a good run going with all of the shows. So this weekend I will be heavily edited and the plan is if finished by tomorrow I will start working on Ghostwriter. I did mention another show for the other podcast but I will talk about that later but the focus is on what is recorded and get it edited and turned into shorts is the goal for right now so we can have it finished on time. Anyways another post is coming tomorrow in the morning so I will talk to you all then. 

Chris

The ChrisBOnTheWeb Media ERA is Officially Over!

      ChrisBOnTheWeb Media is OFFICIALLY over as I have actually received our team Lanyards for our team to wear around their necks with their name on it. I absolutely love that we are in a brand new era that has started off a bit more rocky but we will pick up the pieces and start striving and we have started to pick up on the views and the fact the matter is the views have increased greatly and that is great so we have started the rebuild. 

   With one door shut another one opens and so excited for the future and already trying some new things out for the future of our YouTube Channel and our future can be bright as long we make it happen one step at a time. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you on the next post!

Stepped Aside as Executive Producer Temporarily...

         I have seen that a lot of you have been by our "Meet The Team" page and those on our Discord noticed I do not have the distinctive "yellow" name like I use to and the reason behind that is the stress, drama and I am sighting it is about my mental health and I just need a break from it all! 

      Not taking time away from recording episodes with our friends in our little network that is becoming bigger by the minute with new ideas and wanting to expand our team even greater then before. Just the Executive Producer position because of the B.S. been going on and there is still someone hire up running the network and that is Larry who is my right hand man. Now you will see my name under staff on Discord and the role: Co-Host on our Meet The Team page so it is temporary and I do not know when I will be ready to reassume the role of Executive Producer but I hope by January 2027 I will be back and our Executive Team will be back to full strength by then. Anyways that is the post for today I will talk to you all on the next one hopefully in a day or two.

Chris

What is the Schedule Looking Like now for The CBOTW Show?

      The schedule is a bit full again with gaming streams added and the return of Live Streams in general on weekends has our weekends very, very busy. Like I've said either in the newsletter or the blog here we are adding Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide which is coming soon as Kevin and I need to schedule this recording so we can record, edit and post the episode. 

 

     Also I was planning to skip out on Survivor 51 but decided to do it and I am glad I did as I have been having fun with it and this weekend I am working on the old seasons we have acquired from "Everything About Reality TV" the old podcast I was once on and a very younger version of yours truly. So I can roll that out on the feed and we may have to pause it on Discord for a bit and I will have to let JBird know there might be spam with adding the acquired Survivor Seasons. Anyways off topic as usual and the schedule is growing and so is our network and I do not know who we will continue to fit in the schedule on the HTML table we built but time will tell. Anyways that is the post for now I will be back this afternoon for another post.

Chris     

The CBOTW Show is looking up!

         The CBOTW Show is indeed looking up as I have been a bit resourceful with our current team and you may just hear Kevin on the podcast down the road but Audio ONLY in the next week or so which will be awesome! We have plans for 3 different shows, Deal or No Deal Island which has 2 seasons only, Canada Shore has 1 so far but we are planning coverage for that and even Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. 

         We have a lot of plans plus ONLY Murders in the Building is returning the upcoming week with JBird and also stuff with Kevin, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Dondi (Deal or No Deal Island), Canada Shore and much more on our list. Kevin will be a pop up guest podcaster from time to time as we introduce him into our world. Talk to you on the next post.

Mistakes and Moving Forward....

       I have made a lot of mistakes this week, from personal real life name calling and I have sent them an email with an apology and now I can move on but any hate on our Facebook you will be subjected to a block. Also we had one advisor who we have now departed with and there is so many changes internally to our team right now as I am correcting all the mistakes that have been made. 

       I know that we don't need an extensive big team whatsoever and can go with the team we have. We make mistakes, I've made mistakes and we are only human what we do is apologize for our mistakes and we can move forward. So our network continues on and we keep grinding and we have some really cool stuff coming up with a return of a show and a new guest co host being added and more coming this afternoon.

Amazing Race 39, EP 1 & 2 Chat

       Love that they started the season in Vancouver here in Canada. This season everyone has an express pass which was already used by one of the teams which I am surprised. The Salmon challenge was quite interesting to be honest if you grab the rope you have to try again which is a big downfall so you have to really watch it. Erin and Javi won't first place they got a trip to Istanbul Turkey. So ONLY 1 team can use the Express Pass on a challenge which makes things very, very interesting. Who came in last was: Zach & Nate. The preview for this season of Amazing Race looked like a Movie Trailer and I kid you not that's how I felt! Was so epic!

       Now onto Episode 2. A few teams did work together on the challenge and also the tomato challenge where they have to find their clue some of those tomatoes were rotten apparently. I was a bit grossed out but I don't think I'd want to be hit with tomatoes. They had to cut prosciutto which is like a ham and some teams I've noticed they forgot to take off the rind. Ellie and Joanna were team # 1! Katie and Charlotte are eliminated from the race. What a great start to the Race and I look forward to this week's episode! New power in the race this week so that is very exciting!
