The Survivor players' auction and fundraiser for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota ended today: they raised $28,368! 🙌

For the backstory, read my interview with its organizer, Owen Knight—who, last Monday, was surprised they'd almost reached $10K.

Tonight's the start of the 10 Survivor reruns leading up to season 50's premiere. They are, like Survivor 50's cast, a curious choice—and early seasons are practically ignored.
The 10 Survivor episodes re-running during the Olympics
Here’s the list and schedule of Survivor encore episodes airing on CBS this month, opposite the Winter Olympics and before Survivor 50.

Bad Bunny's halftime performance was incredible—the choreography, the set, the intimate camera work, that ending—and was even more perfect for me knowing this was happening across the country during it.

I, too, own a Bosch dishwasher, and I love it! (That auto-door-open is the most magical thing.) I just want them to give me an appliance for free.

Guy Fieri's new hair—covered by People as "Guy Fieri Reveals Why He Changed His Entire Look and Spiky Blonde Hair for 58th Birthday (Exclusive)"—was, of course, just for a Super Bowl ad. I'd say People owes us an apology but actually I think Bosch owes us all an appliance for making us see that.

Witness the ultimate transformation. From Justaguy into none other than Guy Fieri himself. With some extra Boschalicious bonus footage…

Just turned on the Olympics and I think Johnny Weir may have brought a souvenir from The Traitors' castle—and the way he's calling Terry Gannon "Terrance" suggests he's not to happy with having a third co-host!

The Olympics downhill skiing drone footage is just mesmerizing.

Naturally. Though I'm amazed they know who Jeff Probst is.

It's so depressing that people fill Facebook with bullshit like this and get thousands and thousands of likes, fans, whatever, and those who are doing the real work—in this case, Entertainment Weekly—get screwed.
