Mr Robot anyone?
Just did a season one rewatch along with Josh and Antonio from post show recaps. Was interesting watching the show again this time knowing that one there was a twist coming and two knowing what the twist was.
Big two questions I want answered is where is Tyrrell wellic? And who is that knocking on Elliot's door at the end of episode 10 season 1.
My theory is it is Kristas ex boyfriend..... or someone connected to that storyline because every cold open of the shows comes back to bite Elliot or us on the arse. Eg. When we see Darleen going to ballet practice with Angela, us the audience are all like WTF, how do these two people know each other, then at the end of the episode bam we find out Darleen is Elliot's sister. Or the episodes where the drug dealer figures out that Elliot is they guy that dobbed him in, then the final scene of that episode is shala being kidnapped. So the cold open of the final was Krista and her ex lover meeting up with him trying to make her give up Elliot... so to follow the pattern the knock on the door at the end of the final has to be about that douchebag..... and don't forget Elliot used his real name when he took the dog to the vet..... shit will be going down in season 2!!!

I'm on board. This is my new bitter brew.
I probably have to rewatch season 1 to comment on most of that. To be honest I was almost entirely certain of the main twist by the second episode. The makers of the show said they didn't really try to hide it. They even used a tune famously used in Fight Club.
Darleen being Elliot's sister though I did not see coming at all, that gave me a laugh.

Ha, you're smarter than me, did not see the twist from season one coming at all.
Have you heard to new theory the internet has come up with after the season 2 premiere? I'll wait for your reply before posting it in case you have not seen the new EPS yet.... can't wait to watch the next one tonight!
this sounds interesting

Channel 4 reality show Eden’s contestants will spend 12 months completely off the grid in remote rural Scotland

That’s the question facing a group of 23 people who have been living in remote rural Scotland since March, with no idea about Trump, Brexit or the drama unfolding in Turkey.
The group aged between 24 and 55 have been dumped at Cul Na Croise bay in the highlands with a few animals, seeds and basic building supplies to take part in a reality show that has no structure, no challenges and no winner.
Channel 4’s Eden is designed to give people the chance to create their own world from scratch and see what unfolds.
The series premiered in the UK this week with a first episode showing the group building the kitchen, living shelter and meeting room that will serve them for the next 12 months. While sparks flew for some contestants and early relationships bloomed, others struggled with the lack of leadership and one contestant, Anton, moved out of the communal accommodation.
Yoga instructor Jasmine, 24, who proved an annoyance for some with her lack of work ethic, said she was excited about seeing how the group could live without pollution and waste.
Dog groomer Caroline, 27, said she wanted to see leaders democratically elected rather than “just seeing how it happens”.
“I’ve thought about it quite a lot, because you never know how you’re going to come across. Sometimes you have to be told what your character is rather than what you think it is. I think I’m perfect. I’m a reasonable person and I can get my point across without getting angry, but that’s what everybody thinks about themselves. I think it’s going to be a real eye opener to come back and see what people really think of you,” she said.

Others included in the show include a doctor, vet, chef, carpenter and rowing instructor who were allowed to bring their tools of trade into the zone with them.
The group also has a flock of chickens, sheep, goats and pigs which they are responsible for looking after and can decide whether to let live or slaughter for meat.
They are filmed by fixed cameras rigged around the site and GoPros on their necks that will capture their every move in a one-way transmission as they fend for themselves in what has been billed as an extreme documentary.
Series editor Liz Foley told The Times the contestants were specifically chosen for their skills and lack of desire for fame and fortune.
“We didn’t cast for conflict or drama — it was about the ability to create and sustain the community,” she said.
“We wanted it to succeed, to thrive. They each had to bring something tangible to the community, to be everyman, everywoman, doing ordinary jobs rather than a bunch of hippies living in a commune.”
Early viewers on Twitter weren’t so convinced, with one user calling the contestants a bunch of “fame hungry muppets” and another questioning how it was “starting from scratch” if they have mattresses and supplies.

The first episode showed nearly all of the contestants revealing how they had jumped at the chance to break out of the drudgery of normal life and live in a simpler way closer to nature.
However psychologist Sally Austen warned producers would need to make sure candidates were robust enough mentally to tackle the challenges they will face.
“It’s crucial to know what they’re consenting to,” she said. “If you go into this thinking I’m going to be the next [reality star turned adventurer] Ben Fogle, there may be some truth about it but it may be you’re the one that farts on television and you become known as ‘farty Fiona’.
“You may end up on the red carpet or you may end up mocked and you absolutely need to know what you can cope with.”
Having vetted contestants for reality shows before, she said there needed to be plenty of discussion upfront about what is acceptable and welcomed news psychologists would be available.
“At one extreme you have a lovely whimsical experience … but at the other end you’ve got the Lord of the Flies where people end up dead because the more primitive side of people comes out. Hopefully the reality is somewhere in the middle.”
The crew have been selected for their practical skills and ability to get on with one another, but it won’t all be plain sailing. Picture: Channel 4Source:Supplied
Despite being billed as a documentary, locals have pointed out the contestants will be within a short walk of a pub and chip shop.
Pamela Powell told the local news agency: “This project is not in fact taking place in a very remote wilderness as the publicity suggests. It is only a few kilometres down a good track to Acharacle village and there are houses even closer than that.
“A fence is already going up which, despite what has been claimed, will restrict access between the beaches.”
For Caroline, who spends half of the first episode looking for half of her missing flock of sheep, the show is the perfect chance to escape the “suffocation” of social media.
“This is the bravest thing I have every done. I have never even got on a plane by myself,” she said.
Former real estate agent and Calvary Officer Jack, 31, said he was worried about not being able to keep in touch with family and friends and how the structure would work.
“It’s only when some people decide that they are not going to chip in as much effort as anyone else that fractures start showing — and that’s the point when I think there might have to be some sort of structure,” he said.
As for adjusting to normal life once it’s all over, Dr Austen said that could prove the hardest part.
“There would be a sense of bereavement, you’re lost your friends but also lost your belief and your purpose. People could be quite lost without it,” she said.

Debuted last Monday here and is a pleasant throw back to early reality TV. Not the first time something like this has been done over a year (Castaway did it in 2000 and more recently Utopia in a few countries). It's interesting enough but not sure how interesting it'll be towards the end of the year - The Island has the time frame about right - long enough for it to be a challenge but not too long that is becomes boring towards the end.

Could be an interesting show (when it airs), or not.
Todd Sampson (Gruen) signs with Ten for new series, BodyHack
Sampson is best known to the Australian public for his role on ABC’s advertising panel show Gruen, which he hosts alongside Network Ten executive, Russel Howcroft. Sampson has also completed two series of documentary series Redesign My Brain, which aired on the ABC and also has posts on the Qantas and Fairfax boards.
The former CEO of ad agency Leo Burnett and now non-executive chairman of the ad agency will embark on an exploration investigating some of the world’s most extraordinary people.
The show will see Sampson deconstruct and decode how these people live and what they do differently from the rest of us and how this impacts the human body. Sampson will then “hack into their lives and try to become them". More ....
BodyHack will be airing across Ten and the WIN Network. Network Ten has also announced it will be broadcasting US drama This Is Us.

I don't know if Coach Trip (the reality show about a coach trip across Europe) has ever made it to Australian television but after 11 years they delivered one of the most surprising moments in reality TV history tonight in their latest series Coach Trip: Road to Ibiza.
After eight days on the coach and the unexpected exit of the couple the originals were targetting for eviction the original contestants all refused to vote - so all got kicked off the show.

Ia anyone still watching Zumbo? I struggled through episode 3, it's probably the weakest cooking show I've ever seen. Everything about it screams amateur. Zumbo and his female sidekicks are wooden and personality-free. It's all so tacky.
Tonight's episode featured someone making the bottom two because, though tasty, they couldn't "taste the romance" in the dessert. What does that even MEAN?
Please axe this now.

I watched like 3/4 of the first episode then the stream stuffed up and I didn't bother watching the rest.

Never again
it means there was no love, no passion, just pure coldness. they are not artistes but merely a souless lump of flesh.
Some new IL RTV formats in development here that you may see on AU tv in future:
"Plan B" - people get a chance to switch careers and try out their dream careers
"The Chefs games - food truck" - in production, and although we have almost no food trucks,
this sounds like its a mashup of our version of "chopped" and "food truck race". Chefs travel between
cities to produce gourmet servable-in-truck food and the public eats, scores, with eliminations.
"Yum Factor" - contestants cook and present both a panel of chefs and other 'ordinary'
contestants their best dishes, who will then guess the marks the chefs will award
each dish to win.
"Are you for real?" - this reality-tv-gameshow mashup follows people in their daily lifestyle and
routines, but some are real and some are fake. with contestants having to guess correctly.
