Netflix adds another 10 million subscribers
Getty Images Netflix is still growing as people continue to shelter in place around the country, but the company is now seeing the slowed subscriber growth executives predicted would arrive three months ago. On top of announcing that longtime chief content officer Ted Sarandos would join CEO Reed Hastings as co-CEO, the company made a few impressive announcements. Netflix added 10.2 million subscribers in its second quarter, beating the company’s own estimates that it made in its first quarter, which suggested it could add around 7.5 million. Netflix noted that it added 26 million paid new subscribers in the first two quarters of 2020 alone; in 2019, the company added 28 million subscribers in total. The company’s revenue grew 25 percent year over year, but missed its revenue goals for the...
Will ‘Sh*t Get Weird’ Between Nicky And Suzi After Their Double Shot Hookup?
Suzi gets what Suzi wants — and that was needing “Italian in me” (in the form of Nicky). During tonight’s Double Shot at Love episode, the woman with the special laugh and 1/3 of the cougine crew capitalized on all of that “sexual energy in the air.” Giggles everywhere — especially in the sheets. “At the end of the night, we always end up finding each other,” Suzi said of Nicky pre-hookup. “Like, I’m Gucci — I can handle this. But maybe now it’s time to take it up to the next level.” B-Lashes was all for this connection, claiming that they are “just a cute, perfect, tiny couple.” And when the pair got their romp on, Suzi announced, “It was lit!” But in the moment, she was concerned t...
Total Madness Final: This is Who Won The Challenge Season 35
After a war’s worth of explosions, enough tears to flood a frigate and a mountaintop sojourn that’d leave Edmund Hillary breathless, the Challenge Season 35 declared two brand-new winners on Wednesday’s Total Madness finale. But when you look back at the season as a whole, were the top man and top woman worthy of $500,000 each? With nine people — five men and four women — left in the game, TJ Lavin welcomed the group to the base of a mountain to begin the game’s final race. He told Kyle, Fessy, Bananas, Cory, Rogan, Kaycee, Jenny, Melissa and Bayleigh that the journey ahead would find them climbing to nearly 10,000 feet altitudes across a 12-mile trek in freezing-cold temperatures. One man and one woman would be deemed champions, he added, while the remaining seven players would go home wi...
