Supermarket Sweep is Now on Netflix
It’s time to go wild in the grocery aisles. Starting today, a handful of episodes from the 1993 season of Supermarket Sweep are now available to stream on Netflix. A few hours ago, the streaming giant broke the news via social media. “I don’t know who needs to hear this,” the company tweeted, “but 15 episodes of the iconic Supermarket Sweep are now on Netflix in The US.” Supermarket Sweep originally aired on ABC from 1965 to 1967. It was then picked back up on Lifetime from 1990 to 1995, and again for PAX TV from 2000 to 2003. There’s perhaps no better time to watch strangers run through a grocery store grabbing armfuls of produce and snacks than now, during the coronavirus pandemic, when picking up food for the week feels chaotic and thrilling in a very different way.

Turning A New Leaf: Vinny And Maria Squashed Their Double Shot At Love ‘Awkwardness’
One pair down, one to go! Up until tonight’s Double Shot at Love episode, Vinny and Maria, as well as DJ Pauly D and Nikki, had not spoken since everyone was reunited in Las Vegas. But that all changed when Vinny decided he was “sick of all this awkwardness” and opted to chat with Maria.

Fallout Video Game Getting TV Series Adaptation from Westworld Creators
Amazon Prime Video is opening the Vault on a new TV series based on the hit Fallout video game franchise. The project is being spearheaded by Westworld co-creators/executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy as part of their overall deal with Amazon Studios. Originating from a turn-based role-playing game in 1997, the Fallout series has stretched eight games over the course of two decades, as well as the mobile game Fallout Shelter. The games’ story thrusts American ideals and visions of the future from the 1940s into a post-nuclear apocalypse in the 2100s and 2200s. After international war over natural resources turned the world into a nuclear wasteland in 2077, the games’ protagonists are forced to wrestle with previous generations’ failed hopes of nuclear energy while surv...
Which Challenge Competitor Has The Best Shot At Winning Season 35?
After weeks of unease and enough trips to Purgatory to make Saint Peter weep, The Challenge Season 35 has narrowed its hulking roster down to 11 contestants, each of whom is now eligible to run the game’s final mission. So now that the Red Skulls have been awarded and the Total Madness pirate ship is in motion, the question is: Who’s got the best shot at winning? On the show’s latest episode, and in a double-elimination battle for the ages, Bayleigh and Kyle — who both spent the season avoiding Purgatory — finally got their shots to compete in elimination rounds. And their strategy of waiting until the 11th hour proved to work in their favor: In “Knots of War,” which challenged players to thread a knotted rope through a car that their opponents would have to consequently undo, Bayleigh bes...

‘You Don’t Deserve That’: Will Alyssa — And Her Baby — Be Treated Right On Siesta Key?
Alyssa was “ready to forgive” Alex for hooking up with Juliette “several several times” in Nashville. And during this week’s episode, the Siesta Key newbie learned she would soon be a mom with the King of Sarasota. First order of business for Alyssa: telling her parents Allison and Nick that they would soon be grandparents (viewers saw the rekindled lovebirds react to positive pregnancy tests at the end of last season as well). Nope, this isn’t the time for Rosé — and yes, Mom, this is “serious.” With her heart pounding, Alyssa simply nodded as her mother asked if she was pregnant. While Dad got up immediately to give his girl a big embrace and a hearty “I love you,” Mom was concerned for her daughter. “I’m still...
