Pretaped reality TV shows like #Survivor are facing an unforeseen problem: Prediction markets are spoiling their endings.
• #Survivor50 winner Aubry Bracco was the overwhelming favorite on Kalshi six weeks before the Feb. 25 season premiere (by Jan. 28, she had jumped to 83%)
• Kalshi users also spoiled the winners of “Masked Singer” and “Next Level Chef” three months early
• Active discussions are taking place at Paramount about insider trading on prediction markets, according to one source
• Execs at Kalshi claim traders receive intel from spoilers already circulating online

Pitchfork gives ‘BROWN’ by Chris Brown a score of 1.3, accompanied by a one-sentence review:
“Chris Brown’s soulless, hit-chasing new album doesn’t justify his return to the public eye.”
rue thinks she’s in one battle after another cassie thinks she’s in zola maddy thinks she’s in hustlers lexi thinks she’s in hacks jules thinks she’s in the gossip girl reboot and nate thinks he’s in the sopranos
@sillykittyuni @jerryvivor I think he’s so disliked because of his poor social game and jury management that nobody cares even if he did comp out to the end
@emilayamei 8.5 if prelim , 9 if final
Perfect angle on the entry, barely a splash (but not nothing), big tuck + flexed feet especially on the entry.
But 10x better than j could do 🤣
The New York Times praises Sabrina Carpenter’s #GRAMMYs set for managing to balance performance with real musicianship-unlike others.
“For the second straight year, Carpenter's elaborate, Broadway-level onstage set-piece — this time, an airport-themed "Manchild" rendition — did not distract from her nailing the high notes on a microphone that felt very much on. In a night that seemed to divide even the pop stars between the Real Musicians (live instruments, stationary microphones) and Razzle-Dazzle Performers (backup dancers, pyrotechnics), Carpenter managed to be both: a total pro, with old-school production values, who could keep doing this for years to come.”
