And now, the (Nearly) world-famous contestant...Pierre Kelly!
Me: Welcome to Game Show Live! Let's get right into it with.......
The Tubi opening toss up story.
Ryan Secrest goes home. Why? It's because...........
The volume of reality TV production in Los Angeles has been falling over the last five years and the situation is set to worsen as one of the biggest music competition shows is set to leave the city. Deadline understands that American Idol is moving production from Los Angeles to the Atlanta area in Georgia.
The ABC show is moving production for its upcoming Season 25, which premieres in the new year, Fremantle, which produces the show with Sony Pictures Television-backed 19 Entertainment, confirmed to Deadline.
The source reports that Fremantle is in final talks with a studio complex in the area but that it has not signed the deal.
Georgia is one of the main shooting locations outside of L.A. and New York in the U.S. and has been the home for various Marvel movies and shows such as Captain America: Brave New World and Wandavision as well as unscripted series such as Fox’s The 1% Club and ABC game show Press Your Luck, hosted by Elizabeth Banks.
It comes after Fox moved production of one of the other big music competition series – The Masked Singer – out of the state and to New Jersey for Season 15. One of the reasons that Fox is moving The Masked Singer is that The Garden State offers production tax incentives of 30% on qualified expenses with up to 40% on certain studio projects and unlike many states, including California, allows all types of unscripted shows to qualify.
This is similar in Georgia, which offers up to a 30% tax credit for unscripted and reality television productions that spend at least $500,000 in the state, which is one of the main reasons for the Idol move.
Idol’s departure from California will be a blow for reality production in the state. FilmLA recently released data for production in the second quarter of the year and while television rose overall from last year, unscripted productions in LA had 40% fewer shoot days than in the second quarter of 2025. Over the last five years, it has seen a 62.7% drop, per the organization.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And sticking with Press Your Luck, one season is done in Atlanta and somebody isn't liking it anymore.
But I have to have a prediction: Give it another season and that's it. No more. Done. Move on.

Stay there and lay there. After this message.....

Let's pause briefly as one year ago, somebody wanted to have ideas in reviving a long lost GSN classic show. One year later, nothing happened. But somebody had to catch up. Here's why and how on a classic that needs to be reborn. Again.
The genre-defining competition series The Boulet Brothers' Dragula will return for its seventh season on Tuesday, October 27, streaming exclusively on Shudder and AMC+. The four-time Emmy-nominated series, created and hosted by the Boulet Brothers, recipients of the Critics Choice Association's Reality TV Award, is Shudder's highest-performing unscripted original franchise and continues to be one of the platform's most popular series. The new season also marks the tenth anniversary of its original Halloween debut.
The forthcoming seventh season features some of the series' most brilliantly unhinged and cutting-edge underground artists, a collection of beloved guest judges including Rose McGowan, Doug Jones, David Dastmalchian, Harvey Guillén, Rachel True, Darren Stein, Lloyd Kaufman, Brandon Rogers, James A. Janisse, Chelsea Rebecca, Yvie Oddly, Lauren LaVera, Bailey Sarian, Howard Berger, and previous The Boulet Brothers' Dragula winners Landon Cider, Dahli, and Asia Consent, and the craziest elimination challenges in ten years of the show. The season will also pay homage to the grimy, tactile VHS horror of the 1980s and '90s through ambitious cinematic sequences that will celebrate some of the genre's most iconic films.
"Ten years ago, we opened the gates to our world without a roadmap, a television network or any idea of how far this strange underground experiment would take us. Today, Dragula has become an internationally recognized and Emmy-nominated franchise, but its heartbeat remains the same: fearless artists, disruptive ideas and a refusal to play it safe," said the Boulet Brothers. "For season 7, we wanted to celebrate everything that has always made Dragula dangerous and different while pushing the series into its next era. We cast raw, hungry artists who were completely unprepared for what was waiting for them, creating a season that feels unpredictable, cinematic and alive in a way that takes us back to the beginning."
"Over the last decade, The Boulet Brothers' Dragula has grown into a genre-defining franchise and a cornerstone of Shudder's programming," said Nick Lazo, SVP of Development and Production at Shudder. "We are honored to have been part of that journey with the Boulet Brothers, who have become influential voices in modern horror, and look forward to bringing fans another unforgettable and jaw-dropping season just in time for Halloween."
Ten years after unleashing the Boulet Brothers' world of drag, filth, horror and glamour, The Boulet Brothers' Dragula has grown tremendously, garnering four Emmy nominations, three GLAAD Media Award nominations and two Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards. The series also earned the Critics Choice Association's Reality TV Award at the 3rd Annual Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television in 2026.

We we al hoping this man would've replaced Kimmel on Millionaire but instead................
FOX Nation will premiere the first two episodes of its all-new original dating series, Chris Harrison's The Vow, on November 11, announced Lauren Petterson, president of FOX Nation. Hosted by longtime reality television personality Chris Harrison, the series marks his highly anticipated return to the relationship genre. New episodes will premiere weekly on Wednesdays, culminating with the season finale on December 9.
Across six episodes, one eligible bachelor, 30-year-old Jace Cates, embarks on a relationship journey with ten women, each seeking lasting commitment and marriage. Through curated dates and real-world compatibility challenges, Chris Harrison's The Vow explores whether shared values, faith, communication, and long-term goals can build a relationship designed to last long after the cameras stop rolling.
At a time when much of modern dating culture is driven by fleeting connections and social media attention, the series offers a different approach by placing the focus on meaningful relationships, commitment and building a life together.
In making the announcement, Petterson said, "Chris Harrison helped shape one of television's most recognizable genres, and we're thrilled to partner with him on a fresh, thoughtful take that returns the focus to what so many people are ultimately searching for: a genuine connection built to last. This series explores the conversations, values and real-life moments that matter long after production ends, and we believe audiences will connect with its authentic and hopeful approach to finding lasting love."
Harrison added, "I'm so excited to be back helping people find love, and FOX Nation has been an incredible partner in bringing this vision to life. We were inspired by the faith-driven renaissance happening across America, and as a result, I believe we've created the most authentic dating show on television today. At a time when so many people feel dating has become harder than ever, The Vow asks a simple but important question: Can genuine, lasting love still be found in the modern world? The stakes couldn't be higher. I'm incredibly proud and honored to put my name on this show."
Returning to the genre he helped define, Harrison guides participants through honest conversations and pivotal decisions that test far more than chemistry. From navigating conflict and communication to discussing faith, family and future goals, the series examines the real-life questions that shape successful marriages while encouraging contestants to leave the process if they no longer believe the relationship has a genuine future. During the season, Sean and Catherine Lowe, one of the most enduring success stories in the genre, will make an appearance to share their experience and offer advice on what it takes to build a lasting partnership.
Produced in partnership with Lionsgate Alternative Television, Chris Harrison's The Vow is executive produced by Chris Harrison, Lauren Zima, Nicholas Caprio, Tom Huffman, showrunner and executive producer Louis Caric, with Elan Gale serving as consulting producer, casting by Lindsay Liles and directed by Michael Shea. Chris Harrison's The Vow is distributed internationally by FOX Entertainment Global, which holds finished tape and format rights.

Netflix today unveils the trailer for Love Is Blind: Netherlands Just one day after revealing the 30 single men and women, viewers get their first look as they embark on their search for love. Hosted by Nicolette van Dam and Bas Smit, Love Is Blind: Netherlands premieres exclusively on Netflix on September 30.
In Love is Blind: Netherlands, 30 single men and women enter the pods in the hope of finding a genuine, lasting connection, without ever seeing the person they're talking to. They date in individual pods, separated by a thin wall, and have the chance to build an emotional connection before meeting face-to-face. If they feel they've found the right person, they can even get engaged before seeing each other for the first time. From there, the couples meet in person and find out whether their connection can survive outside the pods. They travel together, move in together, plan their weddings, and navigate the challenges of building a relationship in the real world. And then comes the ultimate test: the altar. Will they say 'I do' and prove that love really is blind, or will they decide to go their separate ways?
Batch 1 of the first season of Love is Blind: Netherlands premieres September 30. The season consists of 10 episodes, following the singles as they navigate their journey to find love.

And here's a Mistplay Game Break. The Malady Movie Theater had a fall film festival and only 3 which includes me, floor director Lynne and Jennifer Reoch of The Buzz who narrates the sleaze of Hollywood went there. Lynne and Jen walked out in the middle of the 2nd movie and finally walked out at the end of the 2nd movie. Any reason why? It's because the marquee guy is dyslexic and he came up with another name for a movie and I need you to decipher it.
What's the actual movie? Figure out that one after Julia Westlin who at the very least trying to get people to October in a hurry.
And here's the movie you needed to decipher.
Having a satellite into hellish channels was way before um..........actual hellish reality TV.
