For me, it's Red - though honestly, I never expected to be a fan of the Taylor’s Version of Speak Now and while I don’t think it’s the best there is, I love it so much more now. Still, my favorite Taylor’s Version (and non-Taylor’s Version) of one of the albums is Red. I’ve always had the deepest connection to that album, and I love it so much more with Taylor’s adult emotional depth.

While there's not much to go off of yet, Love Island USA season 7's freshly released cast looks like it has a great mix of Islanders to get things going. I'm not entirely sure who seems the most chaotic, but my money is on Yulissa Escobar, who's rebounding from a 9 year relationship. While I don't know if Yulissa is going to last long on Love Island USA, I'm looking forward to seeing her bring some exciting energy to the villa.

I think Criminal Minds: Evolution is handling JJ’s personal tragedy in a stunning way. Involving the team at the level that the show has makes a lot of sense for someone so intrinsically bonded with their colleagues, and I think the found family element of the series is something that can be heavily leaned into during tough moments for the characters. While I’d hoped for more from other now off-show cast , I was happy to see Reid, and am liking what they’re doing with this story.

Although I’m probably thinking with a bit too much nostalgia, I think the best Billy Joel song has to be “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant”, with “Vienna” as a close second. “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant” is a miniature show in the way it moves, with several different specific pieces to the iconic puzzle. I think that song could come on anywhere, and I’d stop to sing it.

While I appreciated the two golden buzzers on America's Got Talent season 20's premiere, I think there's another act I would've pressed my own golden buzzer for. Personally, I expected the judges to press a golden buzzer for Micah Palace, who created his own backing track on the spot and then performed a song over it. I loved Micah's performance, and definitely hope to see him go the distance.

Love Island USA season 6 was an iconic season of reality TV, and I don't know if Love Island USA season 7 is going to live up to the hype. While I think the Love Island USA season 7 cast looks like a great mix of contestants, I'm not sure if they're going to be able to bring the same level of authentic drama to the show that last year's cast did, especially so effortlessly. I'm hopeful it'll be great, but I'm not holding my breath.

Joe Jonas wasn’t someone I had on my bingo card for 2025’s album of the summer, but there’s something about Music For People Who Believe In Love that has me coming back to it day after day. The smooth, beach-y beats mixed with the incredible guest vocals he has on the album have me consistently re-listening and finding new things every time.

While I’ve had a feeling for a while that Taylor Swift wasn’t going to release Rep (TV) any time soon, hearing that she hasn’t even been able to record the majority of the record has me thinking it’s not needed. Now that Taylor owns all her music, I think it’s worth it to take the last Taylor’s Version and move ahead with new music. The Taylor’s Version records were fun, but I’m ready for them to be over.

While Suits LA had a lot of factors that contributed to its swift cancellation, I think there's one issue that stood out among the rest. Suits LA didn't have the same dynamic charm that the original series had, and without characters grounding the plot, it felt like a half-developed universe. While there were moments of the show that I enjoyed, I was missing the spark that the original show had, which led to the storylines feeling bland.

I like the idea of Ballard, but I'm a little nervous about it. The Bosch franchise has consistently delivered grounded, character-driven storytelling, and Renée Ballard is an intriguing choice to carry the torch. If the show is able to keep the gritty realism and procedural depth while giving Ballard her own narrative voice, it may do a great job keeping viewers engaged. I’m curious to see how it balances fresh energy with established lore, and hope to see Bosch himself at some point.

I was sad to see Gabriela leave Fire Country, as her presence brought emotional depth and grounded energy. I get the decision, but I’d love to see how she’d mesh with the law enforcement side of things on Sheriff Country. Her connections to the crew and her perspective as a paramedic would offer a more human layer to the new show. Plus, the drama between her and Bode deserves more of a resolution in the future, so I'd love to see her stick around in some way.

America’s Got Talent typically only has one or two golden buzzers per judge each season, but I think the stakes would be way higher if the show only had one buzzer per judge during the audition phase. While it would make using your buzzer that much more precarious, I think it would add a fun dramatic element to the auditions. Plus, getting a golden buzzer would mean that much more to contestants.

Although there was a ton of hype for the film, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning wound up losing at the box office to Lilo & Stitch’s live action remake. While that’s a whole other conversation, I think the fact that MI did nearly as well as a release that children could see is a great indicator that it will continue to succeed at the box office, and likely recover to first place after its opening weekend.

Criminal Minds: Evolution has made a major decision for one of its long-standing SSA’s, killing off JJ’s husband Will in a recent episode. While I knew the actor who played Will didn’t want to come back for another season of Criminal Minds, I was shocked they took the route of killing him off the show. I do, however, think it was the best choice for JJ’s character arc moving forward, as she’ll get to truly handle the grief rather than just have a relationship off-screen.

Below Deck Down Under season 3 finally came to a close and though I think the show wanted to call it a draw, there was definitely one villain who stood out over the others. Tzarina Mace-Ralph, the chef of Below Deck Down Under season 3, may have seemed like more of a villain throughout the season, Chief Stew Lara Rigby became the true villain of the season after all was said and done. Without taking any ability for her actions, Lara stood out as more cold-hearted than Tzarina, making her more of a villain.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who's best known for his roles on The Walking Dead, Grey's Anatomy, and Supernatural, is taking on a new role: reality TV host. Destination X, the new geo-guesser show, employs Jeffrey as the host and game-maker, giving him a whole new role to focus on. While I wasn't sure about Jeffrey in the hosting role at first, I think it fits his mischevious personality, and hope other actors will consider shifting into hosting, as well.

Survivor 50's cast is coming out in just a matter of hours, and while I don't think there will be too many shocking castaways on the list, I can think of a few who would blow me away. While I don't think we'll ever see him compete again, I'd be surprised to see Boston Rob Mariano on the list, as well as his winning wife Amber Birkich-Mariano. I'd also be surprised, but pleasantly so, to see someone like Parvati Shallow on the list, despite knowing she's likely enjoy playing the strategic game again.

Although we’ve seen a lot of Robyn Brown’s quirky style through the years on Sister Wives, it’s never seemed like as much of an issue as it does now. While Robyn’s long been one of the more eccentric parts of Kody Brown’s life, it seems like he may be over her eccentricities. Robyn’s quirky taste may be a small part of who she is, but I think it’s grating on Kody’s last nerves.

Although I was sad to see S.W.A.T. coming to an end at CBS after they defied the odds so many times, I’m not really excited about the idea of S.W.A.T. EXILES, which Shemar Moore announced on his Instagram. The spin-off series will center around Hondo Harrison with a group of S.W.A.T. trainees who don’t have the best track records. While the concept could work, it doesn’t inspire the excitement that the original did in me.

After Bosch: Legacy, I just feel like I’m not done with Harry Bosch. While I wish Bosch: Legacy could’ve continued, I understood the decision to end the series. Still, the fact that the show is over has left me hopeful that a door could open up for a Bosch movie on Amazon, giving us even more from the characters as they solve another high-stakes mystery.
