Singer's Soapbox, where she stops singing and starts saying something. The rant you're about to hear is from a certain person and is not affilliated with Jackbox Media Services, Spy Fox Entertainment, Pluto TV networks or its digital subchannel affiliates. Here now, Game Show Live! musical analyst, Charissa Memrick.
Mic drop. Now we turn to the Game Show Live! bulletin board.
It's for the 2nd season of the revamped card game seen on GSN. And it's from the town that practically invented it as does Get A Clue. Oh, and there IS dancing involved.
Now for something......you don't know about the popular Netflix game show, The Circle.
https://youtu.be/h6Q4gVLx7Ko
The Circle's filming location is a catfish
The apartment building in The Circle looks like it's nowhere and everywhere at the same time. It somehow appears to be simultaneously in Chicago and Milwaukee. The whole thing doesn't make any sense. There's a reason no one in the United States has spotted a giant, LED-lit circle on an apartment building in a major metropolitan area. According to a Vulture interview with The Circle creator Tim Harcourt, the block of apartments used in the American series is the same block of apartments in Northern England from the original U.K. series.
In case you ever want to visit The Circle building like it's the stairs in Joker, you'll have to trek all the way to Salford, Manchester. According to CapitalFM, the brand new Adelphi Wharf development rests on the bank of the River Irwell, and an apartment like the ones the contestants have will run you around £145,000 (about $189,297 USD).
Not only is the apartment block in almost complete isolation from the general public, the cast obviously can't interact with the other players IRL or it would ruin the whole premise. Speaking with Decider, Harcourt even revealed that they have an "air traffic controller" who makes sure none of the players run into each other outside of their flats. Contestants were only allowed outdoors to smoke cigarettes and use the hot tub.
Need something to watch Tv on your phone, well you're gonna need your phone data because it brings us to another point:
For a game that supposedly takes place on the internet, there's not a whole lot of internet happening. The cast were completely isolated from the online world, which is pretty typical for reality TV shows like Jersey Shore and The Bachelor — because boredom always drums up drama — but it seems kind of awful when you're sitting in an apartment alone. According to Variety, cast members "were not allowed to bring phones, laptops or any other devices" into their apartments "because the producers didn't want to risk them looking each other up online." After all, it'd take about 60 seconds to figure out Mercedeze was, indeed, a catfish.
Instead, the cast had to kick it old school. Harcourt told Variety that he allowed them to bring "books and magazines." He also sometimes let them "watch a drama on Netflix or something like that." How does someone even spend time alone without a Netflix binge? According to O: The Oprah Magazine, they were also allowed "pre-dowloaded music, books, games and magazines."
So how is The Circle a global thing? It gives us this next point:
The Circle is so overwhelmingly successful that there are four versions, as of this writing: the U.K. series, the American series, the French series, and the Brazilian series. Though they fly in contestants from all over the world, all of the series take place in the same apartment building. The only thing that varies is the aesthetics and the cities they flash back and forth between cuts. Just like they edited in cuts of Chicago and Miluakee in the American series, they flashed pictures of Salvador, Rio, and São Paulo for Brazil.
And finally:
We know what you're all thinking: is there really an apartment building somewhere with a giant, glowing circle on the outside — and if so how did they make it? The answer is a resounding yes, this actually exists! The iconic Circle circle was not added in post (we're not living in Avatar or Cats, over here), and it was actually made out of aluminum and LED lights. Series creator Tim Harcourt told Vulture that the diameter of the aluminum track is around 25 meters (about 82 feet) and they "[ran] LED lights through and around" the track to complete the iconic fixture.

Run, (Mel) Robbins, Run!
Going to week 3 of the XFL, this team has not had a home game all season long, but this week they'll play at the old Edward Jones Dome where the Rams used to play. Hope the flight attendants told you to buckle your seatbelts and put all try tables in an upright position, because the St. Louis Battlehawks are ready.....to take flight.
We're almost in for a landing, because RKVC is taking us home with a banger.
Closing Theme
Today we learned that most of the people can theorize what's under that Zebra costume on the Masked Singer. Just ask the employees at Party City.
Welp, I shall clock out, head back to my manor, cook some frozen pizza and watch Shark Tank. I shall talk to all again for our next Bi-Weekly outing of fun things ahead when this sound is heard:

Today is National Sticky Bun Day. Remember when Spy Fox
used a sticky buns to catch a trap to those bad guys? So much fun. So get your sticky buns and stick around as we....get wired!
Someone’s got a tortilla chip on his shoulder.
On Wednesday, Fox’s The Masked Singer introduced six new contestants. Among these was Taco, whose smooth and effortless performance of Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” earned him accolades from the reality singing competition’s judges. When it came time for them to pontificate about which celebrity might be under Taco’s shell, Robin Thicke tossed out the name of Fuller House star Bob Saget, and fellow judges Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg — as well as at least one TVLine reader in the recap’s comments— agreed that he might be right. (For a full recap of the episode, go here.)
The Masked Singer” judges and fans alike are pretty convinced that Season 3’s Turtle contestant is a former boyband member, with one of the leading theories for his identity being NSYNC’s Lance Bass.
Well, it looks like you can say “bye, bye, bye” to that guess, as Bass himself denies participating on Fox’s wacky celebrity singing competition, currently airing its third season.
“I do get a lot of tweets about ‘Lance is definitely the Turtle,'” the singer told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Wednesday. “I get lots of weird tweets, and everyone guessing it’s me, but unfortunately, it’s not.”
The Turtle competed alongside the six other contestants in Season 3’s Group A until they were whittled down to just Turtle, White Tiger and Kangaroo. Those three masked singers are now set to move on to compete in the finals as part of the show’s “Super 9.”
Every 4th or 5th week on Livewire!, We award an excellent streamer with the following qualifications: must have a length of at least one year, can be of any variety or stick to a common game, viewership numbers on average and the most important category of all: the ability to play Jackbox games on any days or a moment's notice. Yes, Livewire! is proud to award.....
The Twitchhead of the month award!
Our recipient for the month is Boss Level 8. Originally from where the movies and TV shows are filmed, this tag team put in the humor by doing Games & Demos like never before. In addition they have a Youtube channel of their own with this link:
But getting back to Twitch, in addition to games rarely seen on the channel, they also dabble in Jackbox almost every week. They put the WTF every WTF. That's Wednesday, Thursday and Friday if you get my drift and Sundays too and you can be part of the shenanigans by going to this channel:
So Boss Level 8, because you are so legit like Sasha Banks......

You are the Twitchhead of the month for February of 2020. You get an imaginary plaque to hang on the wall for all to see, bragging rights and what else Madison Brunoehler?

We're having a listening party and you're not invited.
Does love melded with music make for a “perfect duet”? Or, if a would-be coupling hits a sour note, will it only result in sad, sad solo acts?
The first promo for ABC’s The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart asks those very questions, as seen above.
The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart features 20 single men and women who “embark on an incredible journey to find love through music,” the logline reads. By singing well-known songs — both individually and as couples — said singles will “look to form attractions through the melodies, find and reveal their feelings, and ultimately fall in love.”
Much like in the existing Bachelor series, contestants will live together and go on dates throughout the season. Couples will face music-centric challenges, including live performances judged by some of the music industry’s biggest (and or most readily available) names. In the end, “the couples whose performances reveal their love and devotion to one another will continue to be given a chance to further their relationship until only one couple is left standing.”
Oh, and a clip is there too. Roll it Sinema!

As expected, NBCUniversal has renewed court show Judge Jerry, starring Jerry Springer, for a second season in national syndication, said Tracie Wilson, executive VP, creative affairs, NBCUniversal TV Distribution. The show is cleared in more than 95% of the country for season two.
“We’re so pleased that our station partners have recognized the success of Judge Jerry and have embraced this new side of him,” Wilson said in a statement. “Jerry and his staff have put their hearts and souls into this show and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to bring more compelling cases to our audience.”
Season to date, Judge Jerry is averaging a 1.0 live plus same day household ratings average, according to Nielsen Media research. The renewal makes NBCU two-for-two on rookie renewals this year, with The Kelly Clarkson Show also returning for a second season this fall.
“The opportunity to continue doing this program that I love is a godsend,” Springer said, also in a statement. “I will keep striving to be fair to the parties, as well as entertaining and interesting for the audience. But please know my career ambitions have their limits. I will not seek, nor will I accept, a nomination for the Supreme Court!”
Going to week 3 of the XFL, this team has not had a home game all season long, but this week they'll play at the old Edward Jones Dome where the Rams used to play. Hope the flight attendants told you to buckle your seatbelts and put all try tables in an upright position, because the St. Louis Battlehawks are ready.....to take flight.
