The average temperature in Norway hovers around freezing at this time of year, but Nation’s Dumbest, The Box, Nation’s Toughest and other shows have made it a hot formats market. With the hunt on for the next global hit, savvy buyers are keeping a close eye on the Nordic country.
Several Norwegian formats have hit the international market at around the same time. That’s partly happenstance, but also because broadcasters in Norway kept ordering new shows while others in Europe applied the brakes. That ensured a healthy pipeline of new projects, several of which are breaking cover now. “We never stopped, we heard about other broadcasters freezing commissioning and we just decided we had to stay in the game,” one Norwegian commissioner tells Deadline.

Fans of The Challenge felt an elimination matchup on All Stars Rivals had a lot of potential but failed to live up to any hype.
The fifth season of the Og spin-off features many individuals from more recent seasons combined with OGs from the past.
All the pairs involve two castmates with a rivalry or feud on the show, including Nany Gonzalez with Turabi “Turbo” Camkiran and Amber Borzotra with Faysal “Fessy” Shafaat.
Each of these teams featured a former champion on The Challenge, as Turbo claimed the individual win in a brutal War of the Worlds final and Amber won alongside Chris “Ct” Tamburello on Double Agents.
In the recent Rivals episode, Amber and Fessy got voted into elimination during the cast’s nominations meeting, and Amber called out her castmates.

Here’s a look at the Survivor 50 voting results, with more categories to debut this spring.
Jeff Probst speaks about the Survivor 50 twist

GLAAD board members Frankie Grande and Peppermint are calling for more inclusivity and LGBTQ representation in reality TV series.
“While we’ve made impressive strides in LGBTQ visibility over the decades, the fact remains that for far too long now, reality shows too often include just one LGBTQ storyline or depend on a single LGBTQ cast member to represent an entire community of individuals and experiences,” Grande, Ariana Grande’s half-brother, and Traitors star and entertainer Peppermint said in an open letter signed by a host of other reality TV stars.
They cite popular unscripted series like Survivor, Big Brother, The Voice, American Idol, The Challenge and The Amazing Race for being held back by minimal LGBTQ representation. “This kind of storytelling is stale, archaic and does not truly reflect the vibrant and diverse queer community that exists in our country and LGBTQ communities around the world,” the duo added...

It’s time for reality television to get a reality check when it comes to LGBTQ+ representation, according to “Big Brother” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” stars Frankie Grande and Peppermint.
The reality TV icons teamed up with GLAAD to pen an open letter to casting directors, producers, creatives and other innovators on Wednesday, urging the genre to showcase the queer community more authentically and at a rate that more closely reflects its prominence in American society.
“I think there needs to be an industry-wide change, not just casting. I’ll use my experience on ‘The Traitors’ as an example,” Peppermint shared. “I wanted so desperately to be able to show the rest of the world, the rest of the audience, the rest of the viewership that trans people are just like anybody else. And I think that really does reflect how a lot of trans people feel right now.”

After a season full of Traitor-on-Traitor violence, the Faithful squad of contestants left on Peacock’s The Traitors went on to achieve an unlikely win.
The award-winning show went into its final episode of the season with viewers waiting to see if Britney Haynes voted against her fellow former Big Brother player Danielle Reyes – spoiler alert, she did. Haynes herself was eventually banished during the final roundtable, leaving influencer and producer Dylan Efron, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania, former Bachelorette Gabby Windey and British aristocrat Lord Ivar Mountbatten to make the decision whether or not they wanted to end the game. They did end the game, revealing they were all Faithfuls and winning the show.

Many of The Challenge fans have criticized which cast members appear in the All Stars spinoff, and that’s become a more immense contention with All Stars Rivals.
The fifth season of MTV’s spinoff show featured cast members paired with castmates with whom they had a feud or rivalry.
It also is the first season of the spinoff to feature cast members who weren’t only originally from MTV reality TV shows.
Big Brother stars Amber Borzotra and Faysal “Fessy” Shafaat, international Survivor star Turabi “Turbo” Camkiran, and 12 Dates of Christmas’s Corey Lay are competing.
Amber and Turbo are former winners on MTV’s The Challenge, while Fessy is a multi-time finalist.
Corey reached the final of Battle For a New Champion, which was only his second MTV season. He recently defended his participation in All Stars despite his limited history on The Challenge.

For a lot of people, reality TV can be a bit hit-and-miss. But, for fans, these shows are an integral part of popular culture. Without them, audiences would have very little understanding of human nature and would fail to remain engaged with any other show on TV.
At times, fans often view the late 1990s and the early 2000s as the best decades for reality television. Shows like Big Brother and The Real World were dominating the ratings and allowing audiences to study everything that the human race had to offer. However, fans are encouraged to step away from these shows and focus on what the genre has offered in the last five years alone.

In a season full of legendary gamers, the one that almost made it to the end of “The Traitors” season three without being murdered or banished wasn’t Boston Rob. It wasn’t “Big Brother” winner Derrick Levasseur or three-time “The Challenge” winner Wes Bergmann. In something of a last-minute surprise, it was none other than “Big Brother” veteran Britney Haynes.

The art of the "crowd pleaser" is alive and well in Christopher Landon's noose-tight Drop. Writers Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach pen a clever blend of technological paranoia and first-date anxieties in a one-location pressure cooker. The vibe is deliciously tense: think Grand Piano or Red Eye. Alfred Hitchcock is smiling on Down, and with good reason—it's tight, intense, and pure popcorn entertainment. Landon's latest is why we go to the movies: adrenaline-fueled escapism.

The Challenge Season 41 is filming in Chile, and spoilers continue to update fans interested in who’s there and who’s gone home.
The latest installment of the competition series follows Battle of the Eras, which MTV billed as an epic 40th season.
Former show winners Jordan Wiseley, Jenny West, and Rachel Robinson won the final, adding more career victories and dollars to their bank accounts.

Don't get yourself murdered or banished — if you're not finished with season 3 of "The Traitors" US, stop reading now because I'm going to spoil the season finale!
Let me get something really important out of the way. Alan Cumming, the actor known for everything from "Cabaret" to "Josie and the Pussycats" to "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," does not own a massive castle in Scotland, contrary to what he claims as the host of the hit reality competition show "The Traitors." The castle that's used as the setting of both "The Traitors US" and "The Traitors UK," the latter of which is hosted by English broadcaster Claudia Winkleman, is actually Ardross Castle in Scotland. Again, Cumming does not own it, despite his whole schtick about how he's allowing the players to stay in "his castle."
As a funny aside, the contestants themselves don't even actually spend the night in the castle.

Oops, Britney Haynes did it again.
What did she do again? Betray Danielle Reyes, of course. The Traitors picked up directly after last week’s cliffhanger, showing Haynes had voted to banish Reyes. Haynes was recruited by her former Big Brother Reindeer Games frenemy to become a Traitor in an ultimatum at the beginning of the show’s penultimate episode. The pair had started the season on a rough note due to Reyes feeling she had been betrayed by Haynes during their season of the Big Brother spinoff and grew closer throughout the season.
“Wow, you did it to me again,” Reyes said to the roundtable after it was revealed Haynes had, in her eyes, once again betrayed her. Haynes, now the only Traitor left, instantly broke down in tears while the remaining players — Dylan Efron, Gabby Windey, Dolores Catania, Ivar Mountbatten — erupted in cheers.

Big Brother alum Mike “Boogie” Malin has reportedly been arrested again.
This time, Malin was arrested for allegedly shoplifting at a Cvs pharmacy.
The Burbank Police Department stated that Malin was arrested on January 29.
According to a report from TMZ, officers were sent to multiple Cvs Pharmacy locations in the San Fernando Valley after an incident at one location.
A Cvs employee reportedly told the police that he confronted Malin outside one store and told him to pay for items he had allegedly stolen.
TMZ reported that Malin allegedly returned to the store and placed items on the ground before driving away.
The department is said to have then dispatched officers to other Cvs stores, knowing that suspects often try to shoplift at multiple locations of the same store.
Malin’s unoccupied vehicle was then reportedly found running outside another Cvs, where he was accused of stealing alcohol and energy drinks.

For many years now, the Kardashian-Jenner family has been slated for their seemingly unrealistic view of the world. All the sisters as well as their mothers are drowning in wealth, so it's easy for certain viewers to roll their eyes at their problems. Not to mention, they have been in the spotlight for so long that some viewers just expect them to roll with the punches.
However, a 2022 episode of the hit TV series, The Kardashians, proves that this family is a lot more in tune with real life than they look. This episode places a great deal of focus on Kim Kardashian as she awaits the results of her Bar exam. As such, this one episode has the potential to completely alter how viewers perceive this iconic family.

Expect the unexpected! Big Brother Season 21 winner Jackson Michie has revealed that he is broke. The reality TV contestant sat down with the show’s host, Julie Chen Moonves, to discuss how he “hit rock bottom” on her podcast, But First, God. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julie Chen Moonves (@juliechenmoonves) Michie shared that he moved from Nashville, Tennessee, to Los Angeles, California, at the beginning of 2019, just months before he was cast on Big Brother.

Peacock's Emmy-winning competition series The Traitors is gearing up for its third season of lies, betrayals, and cloaks. Due out on Jan. 9, 2025, with three back-to-back episodes, the Season 3 cast features a lineup of familiar faces from reality TV shows like Survivor, Big Brother, The Bachelor, and The Real Housewives, plus a Hollywood actor, a British Royal, and a WWE Wrestler.
Just like the first two seasons, the new installment will take place in the Scottish Highlands with Alan Cumming back as the impeccably dressed host. The cast, which was announced on June 5, 2024, will be randomly divided into villainous Traitors (those responsible for murdering their fellow players) and heroic Faithfuls (those who try to uncover the truth). The ultimate winner(s) will take home a cash prize of up to $250,000.
Last season, The Traitors became the #1 unscripted series in the U.S. across all streaming platforms during launch week, according to Nielsen.
