You certainly looked fine. I can only echo what everybody else here has said. Congratulations on your run, and thank you for a certainly entertaining week, both on the box and on the list, and hopefully the trip to the Proms works out next year. John On Thu, May 21, 2020 at 9:39 PM Ben Scripps

CBS has bought the rights to the concept, minus the involvement of John Krasinski. So all they’ve bought are three letters that Krasinski has already given everyone on social media carte blanche to use. Expect people’s social media posts to be exploited for profit instead of to brighten your day.

The main thing I noticed is that CBS has no starting dates at all in their schedule, which means they're going day-by-day. The main thing is that they'll seem to wait for Jeff Probst to finish another cycle of "Survivor" before announcing anything--I honestly thought there'd be no "Survivor" at
