[Reality-TV-Fanatics] Days of our Lives Judi Evans (Adrienne Kiriakis)UPDATE (June 15, 2020): OT for some groups

 

Good news for Judi-- She can finish recovering at home 
UPDATE (June 15, 2020): Evans' DAYS costar Wally Kurth (Justin Kiriakis) took to social media to let fans know that the actress has been released from the hospital and is in good spirits as she continues her recovery at home.

"Happy to say Judi IS home and recuperating," Kurth shared on Friday, June 13. "Thanks for all your positivity and love sent her way."

Days of our Lives Judi Evans (Adrienne Kiriakis) has been recovering in the hospital following a serious horse riding accident last month, and now she's been diagnosed with COVID-19 -- which nearly led to leg amputations.

Fans are sending more thoughts and prayers to Days of our Lives Judi Evans (Adrienne Kiriakis), whose stay in the hospital following a horse riding accident has gone from bad to worse. As Soap Central previously reported, Evans sustained seven broken ribs, a broken collarbone, two chipped vertebrae, and a collapsed lung from blunt force trauma following a riding accident in mid-May. Less than two weeks later, the actress' rep reported that doctors discovered Evans had developed a potentially life-threatening blood clot in one of her lungs. Now, her rep reports that the actress has been diagnosed with coronavirus and that the infection has caused further health complications.

The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever! Recap 06/15/20: Season 1 Episode 2

BY DOROTHY GALE ON JUNE 15, 2020 

We will be blogging tonight's episode of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever! and you just know there are going to be tons of drama, catfights, and tears. So come back tonight between 8 PM – 11 PM for our live The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever! recap. While you wait for our recap make sure to check out all our The Bachelor photos, spoilers, news & more, right here!




Tonight's The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever! Recap begins now – Refresh Page often to get the most current updates!

Tonight we get to go back to Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of the Bachelorette. Chris is back at his house with his one-man crew, his son Joshua. Kaitlyn's journey was so scandalous, Chris wasn't sure if he could show it again. But first, we go back to the beginning.

Kaitlyn's nerves are out of control, this is the biggest night of her life. But, first, she has a little competition. Britt Nilsson will compete against Kaitlyn to be voted in by the men and continue on this journey. Brady is the first guy out of the limousine. Shawn B. decides just to take a double hug. Chris arrives in a cupcake mobile. And on and on more men arrive. Once inside the mansion, the girls try to get the men's time rather than the other way around. In the end, Kaitlyn is picked, Britt is sent home. Kaitlyn is excited, she hugs Chris when she finds out that she is staying. What a nice person, her first concern was for Britt.

Kaitlyn gets to meet Amy Schumer as part of one of her dates, and she is thrilled.

On one of the group dates, all the men gear up for some sumo wrestling, then in sombreros for some singing; essentially they will do what it takes to put themselves out there for Kaitlyn. Next, Kaitlyn takes some of the men to a sex education class in school and they do pretty well considering that Kaitlyn's pranks them with a couple of tough questions. Ben H. was pretty much the best one, he stood out and Kaitlyn loves it.

Chris checks in with Ben Higgins today at home, he says the sex education class was terrifying, it made him nervous to do it on national television. He remembers a lot of being on the show, and it helped him to enhance his life. His advice to Claire is to not do your injustice of not being yourself. He knows everyone who is going to walk out of that limo for her and he is excited for it starts.

Time for another group date, Ben Z. shows off his muscles, Kaitlyn is really attracted to him and there is this comfortable energy between them. When they are alone, he tells her about a time when his mom fell down the stairs and broke her back, they found out she had cancer, she passed away when he was thirteen. Next is Jared, Kaitlyn really felt a connection with him. Every minute she spends with Jared, she finds that she is getting closer to him. He is someone that she did connect with.

Jared did have one of the closest relationships with Kaitlyn but sadly was blindsided just before the fantasy suites. Thankfully Jared has found love with another Bachelor alumni, Ashley Iaconetti. Chris joins them at home for a video call. This is their first anniversary of when they met, five years ago. The two combined have been on six seasons of the Bachelor franchise. Jared and Ashley support Claire as the Bachelorette.

Time for the biggest bad boys from Kaitlyn's season. Joshua offered for Kaitlyn to give him a haircut and she gave him a half mohawk cut. Clint drew her portrait of Chris riding a triceratops, then he got himself a one on one date; they both jumped into a pool fully clothed. Later that evening, he ignores her and she calls him out on it. Meanwhile, there is a bromance going on between Clint and JJ. A lot of the guys are annoyed with the two of them because they seclude themselves from everyone else and do weird stuff.

Just before the rose ceremony, Clint takes Kaitlyn to the side and kisses her to try to get himself a rose. Thirteen of the men tell her about the Client, she calls him out before the ceremony. She tells him that she doesn't trust him and he needs to leave. JJ turned on Clint and told him that he should apologize to everyone for taking time at the rose ceremony with all the drama. Clint basically tells JJ off and leaves. And, the mother men lose respect for JJ because he threw Clint under the bus.

Hannah Ann and Madison join Chris, Hannah Ann say that she has moved on. Madison says that she and Kelly were close to the show and she is happy that Peter found the person who makes him happy. She has no hard feelings towards Barb, she was a mother protecting and looking out for her son's best interest. Chris asks if they are good friends, they say yes, they have come close from being on the show. Both are still single.

For Shawn B. it was love at first sight when he got out of the limo, Kaitlyn had butterflies early on as well. Kissing Shawn, she just felt good and never felt that kind of immediate attention to anyone. He tells her about a bad car accident he was in five years ago. Kaitlyn loves that Shawn is opening up to her, in fact, he told her that he was falling in love with her. Shawn feels that everything that he has done has led him to this moment, it was meant to be.

We look back at a group date with the men, it's a rapping contest and who does Kaitlyn see, Nick, he is from Andi Dorfman's season. Kaitlyn is shocked, it's week four and he definitely needs to think about this.. Nick hugs her and tells her to let him know. Kaitlyn tells the men that she wants to bring Nick in the mix, the men are not happy. Shawn B. is upset, he feels that if she was confident in their relationship she wouldn't even think about bringing Nick on the show.

Nick gets anything but a warm welcome from the other men. Nick tells the men that he is not there to cause drama. Shawn sits down with Kaitlyn and tells her that Nick is fake and pompous. Shawn snoops on Kaitlyn and finds her kissing Nick. Ian takes Kaitlyn to the side, he calls her shallow and says that she is only there to make out with the guys, he leaves the show on his own.

Kaitlyn takes the men to Dublin, Ireland. The tension between the men is at an all-time high and Kaitlyn made a bold decision in deciding to take Nick on the first one on one date, angering many of the other men. On their date, Nick buys the two of them rings. The only concern she has with Nick is that their chemistry is too passionate, too intense. At dinner, she invites him back to her hotel to hang out a bit. In her suite, they were intimate, before the fantasy suite. Waking up the next morning, Kaitlyn felt guilty. She doesn't feel that she should have gone there with Nick because she has a strong connection with the other men.

DeAnna Stagliano and Claire Crawley join Chris via video chat to discuss Kaitlyn's sleeping with Nick before the fantasy suite. DeAnna says that the biggest question that she is asked is if she did or didn't sleep with anyone in the fantasy suite. DeAnna is so happy that Claire is the Bachelorette and she will be cheering for her.

Kaitlyn sits down with Shawn and tells him that she slept with Nick. Shawn tells her he needs a minute to think about this, he walks away for a bit. Later at the rose ceremony, when Kaitlyn offers Shawn a rose, he tells her that he needs to speak to her. She tells him that she shouldn't have said certain things to him because she fully intended to explore other relations, and he needs to trust her, but she doesn't think he does. As many concerns Shawn has about Kaitlyn, he decides to take the rose because he cares about her.

Kaitlyn has a lot of anxiety because of Shawn and Nick, but right now, she feels really excited about Nick. It is her date with Nick, he writes her a letter and admits that he is falling in love with her. He tells her that he is totally in love with her, more than he can say in words.

It is time for Kaitlyn to decide between Shawn and Nick. First, Nick stands in front of her and he tells her that he is hers forever if she will have him. He goes to take out a ring and get down on one knee and she stops him. She tells him that everything, the off-camera time, when they were intimate meant a lot to her and it was real to her.. He tells her that what he felt about her was more than just a moment. She feels awful and he doesn't care, he just wants to leave.

Nick leaves and feels like the biggest joke, she told him that she loved him.

Chris joins Nick via video at his house in southern California. Nick admits that he was a little bit of a trouble maker on the show, but he was sincere. He says that when she broke up with her, he wanted to push her in the pool. He continues, this was nothing but a positive part of his life and he is happy for Kaitlyn.

Shawn did propose to Kaitlyn, and they were together for a few years, but then they broke up. Chris joins Kaitlyn via video in her home in Nashville. She says that she has no regrets. She says she was sure of Shawn at the end because she took all the other relationships to the end where they needed to go. When she slept with Nick it gave her clarity in her relationship with Shawn.

She tried strong with Shawn, and they just couldn't get past certain things, she feels they started off on the wrong foot. Jason Tartick joins in, he is Kaitlyn's boyfriend. Chris asks Kaitlyn if she will be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. Kaitlyn is shocked, she is so happy and she says yes.

[Reality-TV-Fanatics] Songland 2020 FINALE Recap Featuring Usher (VIDEO)

 

And this ends season 2 . Just by reading the recaps I am wondering if, after they get done rewriting it , Are the ones that created the song able to SEE their writing ? Sounds like a few during the season was completely rewritten

Songland 2020 FINALE Recap Featuring Usher (VIDEO)

Songland season 2 FINALE episode airs tonight on NBC featuring R&B star and the former The Voice coach Usher.

In the episode, songwriters will pitch their compositions to Usher and the panel. Afterward, songwriter/producers Ryan TedderShane McAnally and Ester Dean and the songwriters will produce a version of the song to present to the guest artist. Usher will choose one song to record and release.

Everything you need to know about tonight's episode featuring Usher:

Songland: David Wade Pitches Clubby 'Horse 'N Carriage' to Usher (Video)
Songland Spoilers: Usher Episode 10 – Meet the Songwriters!





Usher is a multi-platinum, eight-time Grammy and American Music Award-winning R&B artist. He also coached The Voice contestants on seasons 4 and 6. Additionally, he served as a mentor on seasons 8 and 17.  Versatility makes a great song, he says. "You have to take people on a journey."

The Artists Pitch their Songs

Miranda Glory – Salty –  She attended the Professional Performing Arts school in NYC and earned a degree at Berklee in 2016. The song is about the freedom felt when an ex comes back at a point when you just don't care anymore. The song seems a tad mellow for Usher. Especially considering the subject matter, it needs a little bit more umph. Ester states the obvious–the song is a "girl song." She says "girls speak differently than guys." Usher agrees "Look who's the salty one now…I don't know if I would say that." Ryan would keep the first half of the record, but write a completely new hook. Usher begins to rewrite the song on the spot

Ryan Cam – Staying Over – Northern Virginia native, currently living in New York City, is a hip-hop artist and songwriter.. The song he is pitching is about a last ditch effort to save a long distance relationship. Vibe wise, this sounds more like something Usher would record. However, the song has a meandering quality. His interpretation is bland. Ryan is NOT a good singer. Usher will probably change the melody and add some swag if he picks it. The group has trouble nailing down the hook. The part that sticks out for the group is a bunch of "Oh oh ohs" so they work to add lyrics. That's the hook!
Usher notes that he worked with Ester early in her career, and since then, the two have become "dear friends." 

David Wade – Horse 'N Carriage – David has already penned tunes for Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, P Diddy, Nipsey Hussle and more. According to his bio, David has co-written over 5  No. 1 records both in the US and worldwide. He grew up in foster care. His "step brother" introduced him to music. The song he's pitching represents the "sunny emotions" one has at the beginning of a relationship. The song has a catchy melody, but it's a little monotonous. Shane thinks the lyrics need to be more universal. Usher thinks he can simplify it. It's too wordy, he says.

Fatherdude – Billions – New York City based artist blends pop, electronic, R&B and rock, according to his bio. The song is about the probability of connecting to the right person. Ha. His goofy name is a nod to the hilarious TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000. I can't get mad at that. He's the best singer so far. The song has a bit of a retro feel with a gospel tinge. This song really cuts through. Shane wants to move parts around. Ryan plays with the melody.

Usher makes his choice

Miranda Glory, Ryan Cam and David Wade move on to the Producers Round. Fatherdude is eliminated. Usher feels that "Billions" doesn't represent where he's headed musically.  Usher is sure Fatherdude could have a career, nevertheless.  I'm a little disappointed. I thought "Billions" was the best out of the three songs. 

Usher's reality tv experience showed as he tried to fake out a couple of the contestants–Miranda and David in particular. You could see them steeling themselves for elimination, until Usher dropped the good news on them.

Producer sessions

Ryan Tedder produces Miranda Glory – Ryan and Miranda get to work "reapproaching" the lyrics, which Miranda wrote from a female point of view. Ryan plans to change the verse melody and chorus, but the underlying "feel" will remain the same. 

Shane McAnally produces David Wade – Shane's plan is to edit the song and take the best parts, in addition to changing the melody to take advantage of Usher's falsetto. Shane believes the song needs a few things a listener can repeat and dance to. Usher's idea is to give the song a "world" vibe. 

Ester Dean produces Ryan Cam –  The plan is to work on lyrics, story structure and production to make it more rooted in R&B and hip hop. Ryan brings a set of new lyrics. Ester compliments him, "You're really really good at melody, but you really have to dig and beat your lyrics."  Ester added urban drums and high hats to make it feel like Usher. She also took a line from the verse and made it the song's hook. 

The Artists present their newly produced songs

David Wade – Personal – Shane eliminated the original title "Horse 'N Carriage" to add a line about marriage. Elements of the original song repeat and repeat and repeat. Maybe too much. The falsetto hook is nice, though. Usher says he feels all the improvements..

Miranda Glory – No Cap (Missing You) – Ryan joins Miranda to present the song. Basically, Ryan flipped the song around so the protagonist is trying to get the girl back. He ditched the "salty" concept, completely transforming the lyrics into a plea for his girl to come back to him. Ryan wasn't kidding. Only the underlying chords remain. But it does sound like something Usher would sing.

Ryan Cam – California – Ester sharpened the song's structure. The melody is similar, but the song has an edge it didn't before, even with Ryan's blandish vocals. Usher calls the song "super cool." It could be on the radio right now, he says.

Usher gives the trio a pep talk before he reveals his choice. Usher picks "California" by Ryan Cam. And I thought his original song was one of the weakest. But Ester did her magic and it all worked out. Usher and Ester seem really tight, so it makes sense that he would choose the song she produced.

Usher notes that the original song was "sparse" but that left it wide open for Ester to "sprinkle the right seasonings over it" to "liven it up and give it rhythm."  Usher feels that "vibe" is everything when it comes to R&B. 

Tyga adds a rap break to the final recording.

So that's it for season 2 of Songland. The show's ratings have been solid, even without a lead in. Expect it to return to NBC for a third season. The competition has become one of my favorites. It's a smart look at how hit songs are made, and it's endlessly fascinating. I love that the show keeps music front and center. Songland is a no gimmick zone, and I hope it stays that way.
