Okay, as someone us not a fan of glazing… a little TV diversion was called for.
Luckily, season two of the “challenge “ is now streaming!

#IYKYK… if you know you know!

Never fear, Cory did an amazing job pulling together a fine “Plan B” after her kiln challenges this week. We may have lost a few bugs along the way… a few we’re resurrected… and she might have added in a couple retro TVs with bugs. I put them all together with my tiles last night… and we still ended up with ten amazing collaboration pieces for this weekend’s ART IN THE GARDEN show. … whew! There’s only ten of these collabs… and they might go fast?!!!

Now don’t get too excited… this “LOST” retro television is MINE!!!
A special custom piece just for me & my addiction to the best TV show ever!
I just love having talented friends!

So while I’m in the studio all day today… I needed something fun to binge on TV. So why not go back to one of the best SURVIVOR seasons ever – Season 16 Micronesia!

Oh, how I love “old school” Survivor… and this season is “Fans vs. Favorites.” So we have some great returning players including my all-time favorite Parvati… plus Cirie, Eliza, Ozzy, Ami, James, Amanda & Jonny Fairplay! Lest not forget “ice cream scooper” Eric… who comes in as a Fan, but leaves as possibly the stupidest player EVER!!! Thanks to the “Black Widow Brigade.” I’m only a couple episodes in… but it making me very happy to be stuck in the studio working!!! Bring on the challenges. Bring on the Tribal Councils. I’m here for all of it!!!

HA!!! Saw this online & just had to share…

And YES, I admit it… I was on “Bozo Circus” back in my childhood!!! Yes, I am now officially old!!! And I was one of the luck kids chosen to play the group game at the end of the show. Sadly, not “Bozo Buckets”… but the group game. I had to hold a baseball bat vertically on the floor, while my partner stacked ceramic cups & saucers on the flat end of the bat. The tallest stack at the end of the game would win… AND WE WON!!! We each got a “ViewMaster 3D Scooby-Doo Slide Projector”!!! Which I really, REALLY wish I still had… it would make this story so much more colorful!!!

But who knew I would be playing with pottery even at such a young age?!
Perhaps that was the start of everything???

So we’re halfway through Season Three of THE TRAITORS… and I’m still anxiously waiting for these two to make their grand appearance… errr, re-appearance?!!! Yes, about a two-second glimpse of them in the TV trailer tells me that Kate Chastain & Parvati Shallow will be returning to the game at some point this season! Parvati is my favorite SURVIVOR player ever… and Kate is the most entertaining player to ever hit The Castle after her time on BELOW DECK.

Will they show up tonight?… or will we need to wait some more???

I’ve tried my best to be patient… and I may have re-watched a season or two… but I’m SO EXCITED that my current favorite Reality guilty-pleasure TV show is coming back!!! Emmy-award winning THE TRAITORS begins season three tomorrow!!! Amazing host Alan Cumming is back in all of his over-the-top campiness… along with lots of wackadoodle Reality TV stars playing the game. And yes, I watch a LOT of Reality TV… so I already know most of them too!

And I can only hope that if we’re getting a Season Three of the US version… season three of the UK & Australian versions can’t be far behind… and maybe Season Two of New Zealand? And I need to figure out how to see the newest Canadian version!

So yes, there might be a slight addiction problem here?!

My all-time favorite SURVIVOR player is coming back for another run on Reality TV!!! Fresh off her stint on THE TRAITORS season two, my Parvati will now be going for the cash on DEAL OR NO DEAL ISLAND season two. It’s a weird mix of the traditional “Deal Or No Deal” with the silver metal cases full of money… now blended with Survivor-esque challenges & alliances on a tropical island. I’m sure Parvati will rely on her “black widow” reputation… which will be great fun to watch her alliances. I mist also admit that I watched season one over the break…as it had Survivor’s Boston Rob as a contestant… and he’s kinda brilliant & “good-TV” as well!

NBC tonight… and then streaming on Peacock.

So by now you may have identified my “addiction” to Reality TV… especially my newest obsession… THE TRAITORS!!! I’ve already binged all of the seasons in all of the countries! But they just announced that filming has wrapped on US Season Three… and here’s the official cast announcement!!! Can’t wait to see them all in that Scottish Castle!!!

But here’s my biggest wish… that they make Tom Sandoval a “traitor”… and then vote him out the very first night!!! Seems fitting to me?! I’m done with him.

So what are your thoughts about these cast mates???
And if you haven’t watched, you definitely must!!! It’s addictively brilliant!!!

Working in the studio adding some colored slip accents & details to my mugs. Celebrating Mughshot Monday… and what better time to watch “The Great Canadian Pottery Throwdown” watching potters succeed & fail on Reality TV. Also fun to see that my Lillstreet Throwdown’ers had already done some of the same challenges in their class!!!

After binge-streaming season one of THE TRAITORS… all three versions American, British & Australian in one weekend …it was great fun watching THE TRAITORS Season Two of the US version with a great twisted ending!

So imagine my surprise & excitement last night when I found out the Season Two of the UK version is now available here for streaming!!! I’m in… and already a couple episodes in!!! I just can’t get enough… my newest TV addiction!!!
