The Talking Through The Medias opening toss up story.
Tyra Banks is back as host and executive producer of "Dancing with the Stars" for her third consecutive season. Joining her as co-host is "DWTS" season 19 Mirrorball Champion Alfonso Ribeiro. Expert judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough also resume their seats on the ballroom floor. The season 31 premiere date on Disney+ will be announced at a later date.
"'Dancing with the Stars' has been such an important part of my life for so many years, and I am ecstatic to officially re-join this tight-knit family as co-host," said Ribeiro. "Tyra and I have a longstanding friendship that I hope will resonate with all of the fans at home as we kick off this new season on Disney+."
"I've known Alfonso since I was 19 years old and he always puts a smile on my face whenever I see him," said Banks. "Having such a fun-loving, longtime friend as co-host warms my heart. Plus, he's won the competition before, so he knows exactly what the stars are going through. Bantering back and forth with him live is going to be so much fun!"
"Dancing with the Stars" is the hit series hosted by supermodel and businesswoman Tyra Banks and actor and television personality Alfonso Ribeiro in which celebrities are paired with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough.
After an impressive 30 seasons on ABC, "Dancing with the Stars" moves to its new home on Disney+, premiering exclusively in the U.S. and Canada this fall, and making "Dancing with the Stars" the first live series to debut on the streaming service. "Dancing with the Stars" is produced by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions

Now for some Big Brother News.
Big Brother 24's Paloma Aguilar was removed from the house Wednesday, just one day before the show's first scheduled live eviction. The shocking news was revealed during Thursday's episode.
Twenty-five minutes in, Aguilar's lack of sleep took center stage, as she reported getting only 2-4 hours of sleep per night as a result of anxiety. "I physically cannot sleep in this house," she told Matt Turner. "I really want to leave." She told other houseguests that she was unable to eat or sleep, causing them to worry for her wellbeing. Then, she disappeared into the Diary Room, causing further concern in the house.
Later, Head of Household Daniel Durston gathered everyone to the living room for a house meeting. "Due to a personal matter, Paloma will no longer be continuing in the Big Brother game," he read from a card. "She wanted to pass along that she loves you all and wishes you all the best."
Although the live feeds were cut late Wednesday night, popular feed recapper hamsterwatch was first to report Aguilar's removal at 12:30 am Thursday. "Whether medical or voluntary elimination, I don't know and we may never know. If medical, there are privacy issues for the show to consider," she wrote.
"Big Brother" host Julie Chen Moonves addressed the microaggressions and bullying houseguest Taylor Hale, the presumed target of Aguilar's campaign, has faced on the reality show's 24th season, suggesting it is a result of the series' "pressure cooker" environment.
"Microaggressions are real and they happen," the TV personality said in an interview with E! News. "I don't think most people, when they are committing it, that they are even aware of what they're doing." She continued: "I think that with the live feeds it is easy. I think what we need to do is ask ourselves, 'Who am I? Who is anyone to judge somebody else?'".

Anne Robinson's time as the host of Countdown has come to an end, with the veteran broadcaster fronting her final episode of the Channel 4 game show.
However, how some may have expected her to bid farewell to the program or for a fuss to be made on screen about her departure, there was seemingly no mention of her stepping down from her role whatsoever.
Anne's tenure on Countdown has only lasted a year, having taken over from former star of The Apprentice Nick Hewer. When he left, he expressed how much of a 'pleasure' it had been working with Susie Dent and Rachel Riley for almost a decade, before referencing his successor and urging viewers to 'be generous' towards her.
Meanwhile, for Anne's final episode, she dished out her usual thank yous to Susie in Dictionary Corner, guest star Jenny Ryan from The Chase, and maths whizz Rachel.
'Thank you for watching. Bye,' the former Weakest Link host then said to the camera, before a round of applause from the audience.
Following Anne's final episode, Colin Murray was welcomed into the Countdown studio as the temporary stand-in before a permanent replacement host is announced.
Ahead of his new role, Colin compared himself to an 'assistant manager', saying he'd been 'given the job until the end of the season', with his stint on Countdown due to last from mid-July to the start of November this year.

The HISTORY(R) Channel expands the footprint of its popular survival series "Alone" with two new series extensions from Leftfield Pictures, "Alone: The Skills Challenge" where three former 'Alone' participants compete head-to-head in creative build challenges devised by one of their peers, and "Alone: Frozen" where six of the strongest participants from past seasons of 'Alone' will begin their survival journeys just as the fierce North Atlantic Winter is about to begin in Labrador, Canada for a chance to win their share of the $500,000 prize. Twelve episode series "Alone: The Skills Challenge" premieres on Thursday, August 4 at 10:30PM ET/PT before moving to its regular timeslot of Thursdays at 10PM ET/PT and eight-episode series "Alone: Frozen" premieres on Thursday, August 11 at 9PM ET/PT. Additionally, new one-hour special "Alone: Frozen Before The Freeze" premieres on Tuesday, July 28 at 10:30PM ET/PT and will give an inside look at new series "Alone: Frozen" and reintroduce the six 'Alone' veteran participants undertaking this extreme challenge.
Each episode of "Alone: The Skills Challenge" will feature three former participants from 'Alone' competing in survival build challenges devised by another former participant. Using only basic tools and the natural resources around them, only one survivalist will be deemed the winner, proving they have the skills needed to thrive in the wilderness. Competitors will be judged on their ingenuity, execution, and completion of each task. From elevated shelters to hand-crafted ovens to watercraft, each episode is self-filmed by the survivalists and will feature some of the most impressive builds ever seen. Returning survivalists of "Alone: The Skills Challenge" include Callie North (season three), Lucas Miller (season one), Amós Rodriguez (season seven), Britt Ahart (seasons three and five), Jordan Jonas (season six), Joel Van Der Loon (season seven) and Clay Hayes (season eight).
In "Alone: Frozen," six of 'Alone's strongest participants from past seasons return to put their survival skills to the test for a second time. Dropped off on the frigid North Atlantic Coast of Labrador, Canada just as winter is setting in, and battling howling winds, constant rain, and North America's most fierce cold-weather predators, survivalists will set out to last fifty days in a location with the densest population of Polar Bears in the United States and face extreme conditions worse than any previous season of Alone. With just a few supplies and their previous experiences to learn from, the survivalists who go the distance will win their share of the $500,000 cash prize. Returning survivalists of "Alone: Frozen" include fan favorites Greg Ovens (season three), Woniya Thibeault (season six), Callie Russell (season seven), Mark D'Ambrosio (season seven), Amós Rodriguez (season seven) and Michelle Finn (season eight).

Killer Camp, the horror/whodunit reality competition format created by Tuesday's Child Television for ITV2 in the UK and distributed by Keshet International, has been picked up for another local adaptation after scoring a U.S. edition for the CW Network in 2020.
Dutch prodco Skyhigh TV, a Mediawan company, will produce a new 6 x 40-minute version of the series for Amazon Prime Video in the Netherlands, which will premiere later this year.
Hosted by comedian and actor Ruud Smulders, the series will see 11 well-known Dutch influencers dropped off at a retro '80s-style summer camp, where they will participate in a series of challenges while, unbeknownst to the rest, one of them is plotting a scheme to knock them off one by one. As more and more competitors are "murdered" during the night, the "survivors" must try to figure out the identity of the predator in their midst to claim a share of the €20,000 prize.
"It's fantastic to be working with Skyhigh TV and Prime Video on our first European adaptation of Killer Camp," Tuesday's Child CEO Karen Smith said. "This reality format is a fresh and exciting mix of sexy, young reality and game show, with an intriguing whodunit twist that keeps viewers guessing, and talking about the show."
