We're advancing Erin and cutting Nyle, just confirming the rest

Drake Milligan Drake is a country singer who appeared on America’s Got Talent last season. He had a bit of competition show history having also once appeared on American Idol a few years prior, but he dropped out of the running. AGT went better for him and he made it all the way to third place. Seems like he’s actually doing pretty decently too because he’s since released an album and also appeared on the show again as a musical guest. I’m kinda surprised that AGT worked as such a great platform for a singer but good for him carving out a career for himself. He could have very well appeared on The Voice, probably would have won and then nobody would ever hear from him again. Save Bridie/Craig

Le Fil This is a sad cut to make but at this time probably the fairest. Maybe the Aus Survivor cut is fair but I’m doing this as a quick writeup and ultimately I feel like I can give more love to Le Fil. (And the remaining 4 would have made an iconic top 4 of the season) So Le Fil appeared on UK season 4 of Drag Race. From the start he was an early favorite of mine. Loved the entrance look, just had a really fun personality and looks. I do feel like he got shafted by the show a little bit. Times where the judging seemed a little off like putting him in the bottom for the Rusical when he arguably could have been in the top. Le Fil’s downfall was Snatch Game. Most of the cast bombed it. But Le Fil just got unlucky. The lip sync against Black Peppa was a mess on both sides, Le Fil just about out messed it I get. Probably a good time for him to go, but I’d love to see Le Fil back on another season in the future! Save Cheddar Gorgeous

Ariana/Pasha!! Good for him!! Charity/Artem I did not see coming, but I’m into it

Super excited for her!

Oop cast got out. (Photos in the Twitter link and cast below) https://x.com/rachd1214/status/1701907824329031972?s=46&t=OEZvEZvDEA7GRrg6bG3Jsg

Harry also seems to be Rylee’s first partner. Which is wild to me lol. I guess he’s a younger guy but I was expecting her to be paired with a teen or someone with a bit of a cleaner rep lol

I know she’s not the most well liked on here, but I feel for her.. sounds like her last few seasons were rough and you can’t really blame her for just doing what she had to do as a pro with Bobby. Clearly she wasn’t expecting to win. Also yikes Jesse sounds awful

How am I expected to sleep at night when all I can think about is Oscar winning actress Mira Sorvino and Netflix dating show star Harry Jowsey having to interact tomorrow

Hope you watched Too Hot to Handle so we can have any lowdown on Harry Jowsey. A name I have heard far too often and is apparently now likely on this cast lmao

I was thinking even just the general reception outside of IDF, but also agreed! (Almost tagged you in the Adrian post yesterday because I do rely on you for the lowdown on anyone athletes or Bachelor Nation)

Not comparing all of the cases, but kinda reminiscent of the way everyone was (rightfully) outraged about Sean Spicer leaving Ray Lewis.. the guy in a murder trial.. basically get none of the heat.

The way I barely knew who she was before she got announced but, the rate this cast is going, #TeamCharity!

Image Rehab 101! pun intended

Jamie Lynn confirmed…

If they do this two years after their night honouring Britney.. shameless DWTS!

Ugh I unfortunately can see where they’re coming from

Pros: seems like Britt got an athlete Cons: seems like it’s Adrian Peterson. who from a quick scan of the ’legal issues’ section of his Wiki.. we coulda done without.)

Cara Melle stans rise

KB strongly insinuating David Archuleta is in. Interesting that the Bravo gossip site is having some real credibility these last couple years lol. Means I’m still thinking we’ll see a Jersey Shore girl. They also speculated a Housewife, but it was very early days. They were saying either Shannon Beador or Sutton Stracke. I did see Sutton on a TikTok the other day throwing some shade at Erika Jayne’s new residency lol and she made a comment along the lines of ‘my fall is very busy’ which raised my eyebrows ever so slightly..

The way he might have sealed my pre-season fave card with the Aaliyah shoutout

Haven’t heard the album yet but if the two singles are anything to go by then I’m all for the O-Rod domination

Pasha’s back in! 14 couples this season.

Romeo Escobar Just wrote a whole writeup on my phone about Romeo and deleted it so this will be less of a detailed through. I’ll maybe go back to this season one day in the future, and have some appreciation for Romeo. Especially with the knowledge he’s there for the whole season. But I didn’t care for him during season 42. He was a non-entity for me, and when he was on screen I just found that he was quite unlikeable and clearly a liability. And an easy person to take to the end. I’ll admit that he didn’t bomb the Final Tribal Council as much as I thought he would, but Maryanne blew both guys out of the water. He’s fine. Probably a fair placement for him. But fine with him going here.

Super busy work day. I’ll try and pull something together now.
