Arnaud Lagardère Returns To CEO Duties After Ban Is Lifted
Arnaud Lagardère has returned as CEO and Chairman of Lagardère after the partial lifting of a management ban imposed in April. He had been indicted on embezzlement charges and provisionally banned from holding executive-level roles, but has now been unanimously reappointed to his previous roles. “I would like to extend warm thanks to Jean-Christophe Thiery, who has done a remarkable job as chief executive following my forced withdrawal from management duties,” said Lagardère. I am obviously delighted to be resuming my position as Chief Executive Officer of the Group that bears my name and to be reunited with the talented teams that I now have the honour of leading to future success.” Lagardère Group is part of Canal+ owner Vivendi, which took full control in November 2023 following approval from European Commission.

Big Brother Canada has decided to remove the live feeds and replace them with Digital Dailies. Big Brother Canada premiered on February 27, 2013. It is hosted by Arisa Cox, who eventually became an executive producer on the reality competition series nine seasons in. Big Brother Canada follows the same premise as the American version, in which the houseguests compete for a grand prize while being constantly filmed. The live feeds offer a continuous view into the house, allowing fans to watch the houseguests 24/7.
However, Big Brother Canada announced that it will be replacing the 24/7 live feeds with Digital Dailies for Big Brother Canada season 11. According to EW, Digital Dailies are described as "uncut content from inside the Bbcan house, offering viewers an extended peek into the houseguests' lives." EW speculated that this means production will give viewers access to only selected segments from inside the house. This will also give them...

After 18 years of watching CBS's hit series Survivor (and 36 seasons to boot), competitive reality TV shows are ingrained in our society. Not just game shows or Real World-type series, but full-on competitions.
Whether they're contestants trapped inside a house like on Big Brother or drag queens competing on RuPaul's Drag Race, fans have gotten hooked on finding who will win. Reality TV is our guilty pleasure! And, many have dreamed of being the lucky few to compete.
So, it's not surprising that some diehard fans created their own real-life versions of their favorite shows, like in the case of the university-set show, Survivor Maryland.
Survivor Maryland was started in 2012 at the University of Maryland by Austin Trupp, a student at the time. As a longtime fan of Survivor, Trupp wanted to bring the game to life as a fun activity that he could run with his classmates and dormmates.
