| Pandora’s Box has been upgraded. Big Brother‘s Season 19 twist will confront Houseguests with “tempting offers that could give them money, power and safety in the game. But, they will need to be careful, because for every temptation taken, there will be a consequence to face,” warns a press release that more than a little evokes Rumpelstiltskin. One of those twists is the “Den of Temptation,” to which America will vote on which Houseguest they would like to send. At the Garden of Eden-styled location, players will be enticed by a potentially game-changing offer that will “unleash a consequence on the house.” “Temptation has always been a part of Big Brother, but this summer we are testing the Houseguests like never before,” exec producer Rich Meehan said in a statement. “There are so many different paths the game could take this season depending on what the Houseguests choose to do. With so many unknowns, we are excited to see how it all plays out.” Big Brother 19‘s two-night premiere airs Wednesday, June 28 at 8/7c and Thursday, June 29 at 9 pm, while the first Sunday episode (airing July 2 at 8 pm) features the debut of the “Den of Temptation.” CBS previously announced 16 Houseguests who will embark on a new season of BIG BROTHER. This season's cast includes a government engineer, a rodeo clown, a microbiologist and a cosplay artist, among others. CBS All Access will give subscribers the opportunity to meet the Houseguests before anyone else via a live stream of their first interviews beginning this morning at 8:00 AM, PT/11:00 AM, ET. CBS All Access subscribers can watch the live stream online at CBS.com or the CBS App for iOS, Android and Windows 10, and on connected devices, including Roku Players, Apple TV, Chromecast, Android TV, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Fire TV. The following 16 new Houseguests will spend the summer competing for $500,000: - Christmas Abbott (35; Lynchburg, VA; fitness superstar) - Matthew Clines (33; Arlington, VA; renovation consultant) - Dominique Cooper (30; Tuskegee, AL; government engineer) - Elena Davies (26; Fort Worth, TX; radio personality) - Jason Dent (27; Humeston, IA; rodeo clown) - Jessica Graf (26; Cranston, RI; VIP concierge) - Cameron Heard (24; North Aurora, IL; microbiologist) - Mark Jansen (26; Grand Island, NY; personal trainer) - Megan Lowder (28; Cathedral City, CA; dog walker) - Josh Martinez (23; Miami; hair care sales) - Cody Nickson (32; Lake Mills, IA; construction sales rep) - Alex Ow (28; Thousand Oaks, CA; eco-friendly marketing rep) - Jillian Parker (24; Celebration, FL; timeshare sales rep) - Kevin Schlehuber (55; Boston; stay-at-home dad) - Ramses Soto (21; Grand Rapids, MI; cosplay artist) - Raven Walton (23; DeValls Bluff, AR; dance teacher) | |

Now comes the end of month part where the separate the line between who's dissing who at an award show. It's the Yay & Yawn of June.
The Yay: ABC's Sunday Night Lineup. Something you spend on you summer vacay thanks to Celebrity Family Feud, Funderdome and the Pyramid.
The Yawn: Bachelor in Paradise. There was an incident between 2 cast members, but despite that, the show had to go on. Maybe these 2 should get counseling.
Unlike Oscar speeches, we interrupt this blog with a commercial. After this, CBS gets 2 games to stick around. That's on the way, but first....
Here's something amazing every kid will love.

Don't be so Bush League on this....
Across the country, the bushcraft movement is growing. It is built on primitive wisdom, ingenuity, hard-won wilderness skills and a desire for self-reliance. But who are the best at their craft? Discovery Channel announced today that it has ordered BUSH LEAGUE (w/t), an all-new competition series where a group of wild artisans will set out to prove who is the ultimate master.
Born out of primitive skills gatherings happening all over the USA, the art of bushcrafting was once handed down from person to person. But today it's on a much larger scale with the power of social media allowing bushcrafters to challenge each other to more and more elaborate builds.
Now legendary Bush Master Matt Graham is leading the charge on a whole new level of competition and hosting an elite series of bushcraft summits deep in the wilds of Matt's home state of Utah. In these summits, two master bushcrafters will compete head to head in a bushcraft build-off themed to a specific environment, topography and primitive living challenge. Over a seven-day build period, the bushcrafters will create eye-popping builds, from tools to weapons to structures to transportation, all using nothing but their hard-won skills, a few simple hand tools and whatever resources nature provides.
Once the dust has settled, Matt will judge the completed works using the four tenets of bushcraft: materials, craftsmanship, function and liveability. At stake for the bushcrafters: bragging rights, reputation and the knowledge that they were able to adapt, overcome and thrive in an unknown environment.
BUSH LEAGUE (w/t) is produced for Discovery Channel by Original Productions. For Original, Executive Producers are Sarah Whalen, Ernie Avila, Steve Robillard and Matthew Braley and Co-Executive producer Adam Flacks. For Discovery Channel, Joseph Boyle and Dave Freed are Executive Producers. To learn more, go to www.discovery.com, on Facebook at Facebook.com/discovery and on Twitter @Discovery.

Thank you Chris, now on with more news.
ABC Talent and Casting's fifth annual ABC Discovers: Digital Talent Competition, which takes place Monday, June 26 - Sunday, July 9, is live now in the U.S. The competition aims to discover and champion actors who may not have had the opportunity to be seen yet by a team of professional casting executives. Actors 18 and older are encouraged to visit ABCDiscovers.com to enter the contest for the chance to receive a one-year $25,000 talent deal with ABC. The 2017 winner will be announced Thursday, August 10, when their videos, along with the other top finalists, will be featured on the ABC Discovers website. Based on the success of prior U.S. competitions, ABC is also now launching a U.K. version of the competition at ABCDiscoversUK.com. The winner of the U.K. competition will receive a separate one-year $25,000 talent deal with ABC.
Ayo Davis, senior vice president, Talent and Casting, ABC Entertainment, said, "This competition is about access and opportunity for up-and-coming actors. We are incredibly proud of the talent that has surfaced in the first few years of the competition and can't wait to see who comes forward this year in both the U.S. and now also the U.K."
This year's ABCDiscovers.com competition site features commentary from Davis, as well as respected Casting Director Linda Lowy, who talks about how she found the cast of "Grey's Anatomy." Lowy's video features interviews with show talent, including Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Jessica Capshaw, Kelly McCreary, Jason George and Debbie Allen. Last year's 2016 competition winner, Beth Triffon, and comedian Akaash Singh ("Difficult People" and "The Leftovers") are also featured on the site.
To enter the ABC Discovers: Digital Talent Competition, actors are asked to create a video performing one of the comedy or drama scenes posted on ABCDiscovers.com. Actors will be judged on quality of performance, potential star power and technical skill set. For full details on eligibility, how to enter and for Official Rules, interested actors can visit ABCDiscovers.com. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, July 9.
The Digital Talent Competition is part of ABC Discovers, a series of initiatives that includes the annual New York and Los Angeles Talent Showcases, Actor Audition Workshop Week, Latino/Hispanic Outreach, Asian/Pacific Islander Outreach and Global Talent Outreach. The 2014 contest winner, Cornelius Smith Jr., is a series regular on the hit drama "Scandal," and 2015 contest winner Sam Adegoke has had numerous recurring roles on series, including "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders" and "Switched at Birth." He is currently starring in the CW's reboot of "Dynasty." Last year's 2016 Digital Talent Competition winner Beth Triffon has a recurring role in the upcoming ABC series "Ten Days in the Valley."
It's safe to say that MTV today announced the debut of new comedy series, "SafeWord," where famous friends become famous frenemies all for a good laugh.

"SafeWord" is based off the U.K. format that aired on itv2 and was originally developed and produced by STV Productions and Motion Content Group. In each episode, the celebrity guests will partner with superstar comedians, including Carly Aquilino, Sam Jay, Ricky Velez, Leonard Ouzts, Taylor Tomlinson, Akaash Singh, Matt Pavich, Sherry Cola to help them play a series of games in front a live audience. Throughout multiple rounds, the teams go head-to-head daring each other in a variety of challenges including social media games that have already stirred up quite a bit of controversy. In the spirit of a friendly comedy roast, the celebs are tasked with taking the heat, but can always stop the pain by using their "safeword."

And now for a socially true story.
Facebook is reportedly looking to extend its tentacles into Hollywood Boulevard by championing a new wave of scripted TV programming aimed at 13 to 34-year-olds by late summer.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the social network is in talks with LA-based studios and agencies around the creation of original, scripted shows.
Perhaps mindful of ongoing criticism around the platform's role in the spread of fake news and its stance on moderation, Facebook will apparently seek to nip any controversy in the bud by avoiding difficult subjects like news and politics, as well as banning nudity and foul language.
Instead the TV-grade shows, which are reported to be budgeted at up to $3m per episode, will focus on non-contentious dramas, reality programming and game shows. Facebook is thought to have already scheduled meetings with talent agencies to hit the ground running in a race to own as much video content as possible.
While the company has declined to comment on the specifics of the report, Facebook’s vice-president of media partnerships, Nick Grudin, told the WSJ: "We're supporting a small group of partners and creators as they experiment with the kinds of shows you can build a community around – from sports to comedy to reality to gaming. We're focused on episodic shows and helping all our partners understand what works across different verticals and topics."
It is expected that the first content to see the light of day will be a millennial relationship drama called Strangers and the game show Last State Standing.
Should Facebook enter the highly congested market, it will need to face off against the likes of Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, all of which have amassed significant content libraries with which to lure subscribers.
Facebook's content ambitions were thrown into further focus over the weekend when it unveiled a video creation app for influencers as it seeks to muscle in on YouTube's turf.
Rumors have been circulating about Facebook's interest in producing TV-style shows since the social network hired CollegeHumor founder Ricky Van Veen as head of global creative strategy last June.
Blip on this.....
Discovery Science in Europe has commissioned an interactive gameshow with video game pioneer Atari that will initially air in the UK and Poland.
The Discovery Communications-owned channel has greenlit Atari: Codebreaker, which will launch this autumn before rolling out into other European territories.
Atari was launched in 1972 and became an early giant of the video game industry, creating successful games as well as arcades, games consoles and personal computers.
The show will take the form of a quiz imagined for the Atari generation and their families. It will consist of four rounds, the first two featuring questions on science topics, with the winning teams going head-to-head in a battle to find the combination to a safe containing prizes.
Shortform content taking viewers behind the scenes of the show will be available via a dedicated website. Atari Media Production and TH Films are producing.
How do you say "The Wall" in French?
Canadian broadcaster TVA is getting its own French-language version of NBC game show The Wall.
TVA stablemate Quebecor Content has acquired rights to the show from Endemol Shine International.
The series has been a ratings hit in the US, where NBC debuted it in primetime. A subsequent access prime version in France for has also done well, becoming the territory’s best performing game show launch since 2009, with Endemol Shine also selling the format into Spain and Germany.
Broadcast details for the French-Canadian version will follow “at a later date”.
Yann Paquet, VP of acquisitions and international development at Quebecor Content, claimed the format was “the most popular game show in the world”.
“It gets monster ratings wherever it’s aired and we have absolutely confidence it will thrill our viewers and touch their hearts,” he added.
Legendary NBA basketball player LeBron James co-created the format with SpringHill Entertainment’s Maverick Carter and Andrew Glassman of Glassman Media. In the US Universal Television Alternative Studio is coproducer.
The quiz format requires contestants to answer questions and get favorable ‘bounces’ from a giant wall in order to win cash prizes.
TVA and Quebecor Content are part of Quebecor Media Group.
