Bed Rot... the Game Show
Reality Stars Play for $100,000
From Entertainment Weekly |
You know how there are days when you just don’t want to get out of bed? Now imagine being paid $100,000 to stay in one. But there’s a catch.
The Bed Rot Challenge is a new reality competition web series in which stars from Survivor, The Traitors, Love Island USA, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, The Bachelorette, and Beast Games will attempt to outwit and outlast each other… on a bed. Whoever can stay in bed the longest without coming into contact with the ground — while also surviving elimination challenges — will win $100,000. There will also be contests that enable contestants to win or lose comfort along the way.
The Bed Rot Challenge cast includes a trio of former Survivor contestants: Carolyn Wiger (also of The Traitors), Natalie Anderson (also of The Traitors, The Amazing Race, and The Challenge), and Ben Katzman. They will be joined by Love Island star Vanna Einerson, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Chase McWhorter, Beast Games competitor Zadok Esters, and Aaron Kahng from Taylor Frankie Paul’s unaired season of The Bachelorette. Also competing is bodybuilding YouTuber Luke Yates, and two newcomers hoping to score a cool 100 grand.
The series is hosted by London Lazerson and being produced by Cozy Earth. It will feature six episodes streaming on Cozy Earth’s YouTube channel, with the first installment dropping June 11.

Meet the UK Islanders
Catch It on ITV2, ITVX, Hulu June 1
From Deadline |
Mallorca is ready to be the setting of Love Island UK Season 13 as the villa opens up again to welcome a new group of Islanders. Maya Jama is back as host of the ITV2 reality series set to premiere on Monday, June 1 at 9 p.m. and streaming on ITVX. In the U.S., the dating series will stream on Hulu.
The villa will see 12 Islanders enter the villa from different walks of life, looking for love, with bombshells invited to shake things up.
The first 12 Islanders entering the villa are Aidan Murphy (23, Kent), Angelista (24, Staffordshire), Ellie Chadwick (24, West Lothian), Jasmine Müller (27, Dubai), Lola Deal (28, Kent), Lorenzo Alessi (28, Hertfordshire), Mica Harris (21, London), Ope Sowande (27, Lincolnshire), Robyn Langton (21, Liverpool), Samraj Toor (25, Birmingham), Sean Fitzgerald (25, Galway), and Sam Workman (25, Dudley).
Ahead of returning to the villa in Mallorca, host Maya Jama shared her idea about what makes a great Islander.
“Self-awareness. The ones who really resonate are the people who understand who they are or at least aren’t afraid to find out in front of everyone,” Jama said. “Confidence helps, but authenticity is what carries someone through.”
On advice Jama would give Islanders, she said, “Stay open, stay curious, and don’t be afraid to be true to yourself – it usually leads somewhere more interesting than playing it perfectly.”
Love Island is produced by Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios, and WPP Media Motion Entertainment.

Celeb Wheel to Stream Season 6 Extras
Season 6b Episodes to Run Starting June 12
From Deadline
|
Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune will be airing its seventh season on ABC’s linear schedule this fall.
But fans of the game show will be pleased to hear that Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White will also be hosting more episodes exclusively on streaming. Deadline understands that ten new episodes of the show will drop on Disney’s two streaming platforms on Friday, June 12.
These episodes, which will see a raft of celebrity guests spinning the wheel for a chance to win up to $1M for charity, will also get a second run on ABC at some stage.
It’s not entirely clear why Disney made the decision to launch a number of streaming exclusive episodes of the long-running series, which was previously hosted by Pat Sajak. Disney previously moved Dancing with the Stars exclusively to Disney+ for Season 31, but this is the first time that one of its unscripted shows has had original episodes airing on linear and streaming. Hulu previously had a number of exclusive episodes of Family Guy that did not air on Fox but that show is also produced by Disney’s 20th Television Animation.
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune is produced by Sony Pictures Television with Bellamie Blackstone as executive producer.
Celebrity guests appearing on the exclusive streaming episodes include
-
Los Angeles Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman, Kiké Hernández and Miguel Rojas
-
Michael Urie, Yvone Orji and Hasan Minhaj
-
Sarah Chalke, Nat Faxon and Joel Kim Booster
-
New Girl stars Hannah Simone, Lamorne Morris and Jake Johnson
-
Andrea Savage, Brian Austin Green and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward
-
Jamie Lynn Sigler, Dan Bucatinsky and WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella
-
Vanessa Lachey, Adam Conover and Simon Rex
-
Kelly McCreary, Billy Gardell and Mary Elizabeth Ellis
-
Top Chef host Kristen Kish, rapper and chef Action Bronson and Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed
-

Next Stop: The Open Era
The Next Hurdle... "Prediction Markets"
From the Futon Critic
|
Jeff Probst is slamming prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket for allowing users to make trades about who won “Survivor” Season 50, saying that the companies are “incentivizing people to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead.”
“They have figured out a way to capitalize on [the show],” he tells Variety. “It doesn’t sit well with me as a human. I get it — they built a great business. They don’t care.”
Aubry Bracco wasn’t officially crowned as the Sole Survivor of “Survivor 50” until the finale on Wednesday night, but many fans were spoiled on her win in advance due to widely circulated reports about her odds on Kalshi and Polymarket. On both platforms, she was forecast to have above an 80% chance of winning before the season even premiered. By the finale, Kalshi’s “Survivor” market had reached a volume of $32.7 million, with Bracco at 97% odds. Moments before the finale debuted on Wednesday night, Kalshi sent out a push notification that read, “Survivor S50 finale TONIGHT. Aubry’s at 97% — is the island already decided?”
Probst learned how much money was in Kalshi’s “Survivor” market, and that they’d sent out the cheeky notification, for the first time while being interviewed by Variety.
“I’m not happy about it,” he said. “I am learning this in real time — this is announced before our finale?”
As reported by Variety, Hollywood executives are concerned that the growing popularity of prediction markets is leading to insider trading and that widespread spoilers will reduce suspense and hurt their shows’ ratings.
But Kalshi is adamant that its ban on insider trading is being enforced effectively and that its “Survivor” market has been thoroughly investigated. Executives at the company believe traders are drawing from public rumors on Reddit and other online communities — and while the anonymous people starting those rumors might be insiders breaking their NDAs, the traders listening to them are still following the law. Therefore, it’s not up to Kalshi to crack down on them.
“Survivor” cast and crew members all sign agreements that prohibit the use of insider knowledge for gambling or any monetary gain, and additional reminders — specifically mentioning Kalshi and Polymarket — were sent out during the release of Season 50. CBS is also incorporating language about prediction markets in “Survivor” contracts moving forward.
But Probst maintains that it’s unfair to put the onus on networks and studios to manage the spread of these spoilers.
“Clearly, if 90% of the people are voting for somebody, there’s a leak. But to look at us, the producers, as though we have a problem, is the mirror pointing in the wrong direction,” he says. “[Prediction market platforms] are the ones with the problem, not us. We went and made our show in a vacuum, and we keep it very tightly contained, but if you are foolish and naive enough to not think that somebody might leak it, that’s your problem.”
He continues: “If the idea is that ‘Survivor’ needs to do a better job of managing our spoilers, you just don’t know anything about humans. That’s ridiculous. You’re telling me there’s a way I can make money by sharing information I have, and I might not ever get caught? Of course, people are going to do that. And if I found out somebody on our show bet on this, they’d be fired.”
In a new statement, Kalshi spokesperson Elisabeth Diana emphasizes the company’s position that prediction markets can be additive to the reality TV experience, creating excitement rather than stifling viewership.
But the company is now taking Probst’s concerns to heart. “If the market volume on ‘Survivor’ is any indication, this isn’t something that’s stopping people from caring about ‘Survivor,'” Diana says. “That being said, we’re looking at adding product features to prevent spoilers.”
