On Wednesday’s eighth episode of “Survivor 46,” Jeff Probst declared he’s “never seen anything like this” in what was “one of the craziest tribals ever.” With two players tossed out as vote options earlier in the day and a third player asking for them to vote him out instead, no one seemed to know where the final vote would land. In the end, all but two people opted to take out Tevin Davis in a true blindside of a player that thought he was calling the shots. Read on for Tevin’s “Survivor 46” exit interview from the end of the episode.
“I was absolutely blindsided which is actually kind of epic,” Tevin began. His peers were able to catch him off guard because he thought that he and Q were on the same page about the need to vote Tiffany Nicole Ervin out for going against “The Six,” their main alliance.

The cast of Daisy Jones and The Six was supposed to go on tour to perform the music from the Prime Video series. Star Riley Keough shared a video of those rehearsals before heading to the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards on January 15, saying the 2023 Hollywood strikes ended that dream. Co-star Sam Claflin confirmed as much on the Emmys red carpet but said hope isn’t lost. “We were rehearsing to do live performances, but then the writers’ strike happened. We wanted to be in solidarity and support of the writers, and then the actors’ strike happened, so, of course, we couldn’t get involved,” Claflin told Variety (see below), adding that “maybe one day” they can get the band back together. Daisy Jones & The Six follows is loosely inspired by the creation of Fleetwood Mac’s iconic Rumours album. Keough plays the titular Daisy Jones, with Claflin playing The Six...

Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 and Amazon Freevee’s Jury Duty made a welcome showing at the Golden Globe nominations Monday, while the final season of Succession on HBO earned a deserved yet predictable round of nominations.
The Yellowstone prequel — the second created by Sheridan after 1883 — earned nominations in the Best Drama category and the Actress category, with Helen Mirren earning a nod for playing the Dutton matriarch. Other memorable performances in the prequel were overlooked, like Harrison Ford’s turn as Jacob Dutton and the phenomenal Aminah Nieves as Teonna Rainwater, but it was a win for Paramount+ to see one of Sheridan’s joints get some early recognition.
Speaking of which, David Oyelowo earned a nomination for his leading role in Lawmen: Bass Reeves – Sheridan’s new anthology that only dropped last month on Paramount+. He’s competing in the Actor/Limited Series category alongside Matt Bomer (Fellow Travelers), Woody Harrelson...

There’s something almost mythical about the great bands of the ’70s. The era had just the right mix of freedom, turmoil, changing mores, and freely available drugs to power some truly epic albums (and behavior). But because there is such a collective sense of what a rock band romance looks like in real life, it’s pretty tricky to write one that feels fresh and new within the context of the time — and the history of Fleetwood Mac.
But “Daisy Jones and the Six” — adapted from Taylor Reid Jenkins’ novel — not only adapts to its setting but thrives within it. This is in no small part due to the Prime Video series committing to the most organic approach possible to music and the time period. Titular frontwoman Daisy (Riley Keough), troubled lead guitarist Billy (Sam Claflin), and the rest of the Six needed to feel like a band, so...

The streamer released a trailer on Monday for the upcoming series, which debuts on Thursday, June 22. In it, Sex and the City‘s Kim Cattrall plays supermodel-turned-ceo Madolyn Addison, who takes a chance on a young gender non-conforming queer man, Marco Mejia (played by Love, Victor‘s Miss Benny), whose life seems to be stuck in place. While Marco appears to be fumbling his way toward success, some close to Madolyn worry he’s bad for the company’s image.

There's no denying Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne were a match made in songwriting heaven. But past that, the central characters of "Daisy Jones & The Six" were always destined to clash to the point of ruin—and the proof is in the foreshadowing embedded in every line of the very first song Daisy and Billy (the enigmatic Riley Keough and Sam Claflin) collaborated on, "Honeycomb." The song is at once a look at a romance crumbling at the seams and an epitaph for a connection that, at the time of its writing and recording, had barely just begun.
"Honeycomb" was the first song the group worked on as a newly formed band called Daisy Jones & The Six, bringing together Daisy Jones the solo artist and The Six, a band of five formerly known as The Dunne Brothers. Billy brought his version of the song, one that he wrote long before...

Book adaptations have given us some of the most beloved movies and TV shows of all time, and the Amazon Prime Video series "Daisy Jones & The Six" has become just that for many of its fans. The show is based on the hit novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which follows the titular rock band, a fictional group inspired by some of music's icons. The series released its final season one episodes on March 24, and readers will probably be surprised by how much the show has changed from the book that inspired it. The main story is still intact, following the rise and fall of Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin), Daisy Jones (Riley Keough), Camila Dunne (Camila Morrone), Graham Dunne (Will Harrison), Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse), and company. But there are big differences to how they get to the top, how things fall apart, and where they end up landing. Reid...

Daisy Jones & the Six is a new series airing on Amazon Prime Video. The 1970s soft rock mockumentary presents the titular band as if they were a real Fleetwood Mac-esque project. And yes, that means the series is stacked with all the nearly unbelievable romantic drama that comparison entails.
But not all of Daisy Jones is simply a retelling of the creation of an album like Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. There’s an original story weaved around that inspiration, pulling from other famous musicians from the era. Actor Sebastian Chacon adds to the color of the series by taking his inspiration from a genre outside of rock entirely.

Daisy Jones & The Six continues gaining popularity as the limited series releases new episodes on Prime Video throughout March. One of the essential elements of the series is the music performed by the Dunne Brothers, The Six, and finally, Daisy Jones & The Six. However, in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s interpretation of the music created by this fictional 1970s band, many of the tunes are vastly different. Here’s how the lyrics of “Honeycomb” differ from the bestselling book.

Though she doesn’t play an instrument in the band, Camilla Alvarez now Dunne (Camila Morrone) crucially shapes the evolution of The Dunne Brothers to The Six in Prime Video’s new show “Daisy Jones & the Six,” adapted from the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Morrone portrays the band’s eventual photographer, who starts dating Billy Dunne just as his band — then The Dunne Brothers — finds its feet. When the band decides to move to California, she doesn’t originally plan to go with them, but she ends up tagging along.
“She is central to this band,” said creator Scott Neustadter, who adapted the show. “She feels like they are her family, and she is the mom in a way. That’s her superpower. We leaned into that.”

This post contains spoilers for "Daisy Jones & The Six" and Taylor Jenkins Reid's book of the same name.
When Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel "Daisy Jones & The Six" hit the stands in 2019, the book instantly became a pop culture phenomenon. The reasons were multifold: Reid not only captures the nostalgia-laden essence of mid-1970s rock and roll but also manages to weave a compelling saga about a fictional rock band's overnight rise to fame, followed by their sudden split and the aftermath of the same. The tumultuous, complicated dynamic shared by Daisy and band frontrunner Billy Dunne acts as the catalyst for the central events in the novel, which simultaneously maps interconnected character arcs to present several versions of the truth.
Reid accomplishes this by structuring the book like an oral history, told entirely through the perspectives of the characters involved, which often contradict one another, making the truth elusive.

In addition to disguising his British accent to star in Prime Video’s “Daisy Jones & the Six,” Sam Claflin had to overcome singing like he was “on Broadway” to fully embody rocker Billy Dunne in the adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling book.
The show simultaneously follows Daisy Jones’ music pursuits while Billy Dunne takes over the band that his brother Graham (Will Harrison) started with childhood friends Eddie Roundtree (Josh Whitehouse), later recruiting keyboardist Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse) and creatively supported by Billy’s girlfriend Camila (Camila Morrone). Daisy gets a head start witnessing the growing LA rock scene on the Sunset strip, and The Six (formerly the Dunne Brothers) move to California from Pittsburgh when they decide to get serious.

Daisy Jones & The Six has become one of the most anticipated series of the year, and as it finally drops on Prime Video, the team have been kind enough to drop the entire Aurora album at the same time.
Produced by Blake Mills – who’s previously collaborated with Lana Del Ray, Dixie Chicks and John Legend – songwriters including Phoebe Bridgers, Marcus Mumford, Jackson Browne and Marcus Cunningham were brought on board to tune up the lyrics from Taylor Jenkins Reid’s book, and bring them to life in 70s technicolour.
And yes, the actors really are singing and performing of the album (you can thank the pandemic for allowing them time to tune up and become the Daisy Jones & The Six that now appears on your screen).

Amazon Prime Video's miniseries "Daisy Jones & The Six" is already one of the most-anticipated TV shows of the year, not to mention one of the buzziest book-to-screen adaptations. Based on a bestselling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, the book traces the evolution of a fictional 1970s rock band (loosely based on Fleetwood Mac) from their earliest beginnings to their meteoric rise and all the drama along the way.
Like any adaptation, the TV version could veer a little bit - or a lot - from the book's storyline, of course. But if you're curious about what to expect before pressing play, we've got a full, spoiler-packed summary of the book right here.

Plot: In 1977, Daisy Jones & The Six were on top of the world. Fronted by two charismatic lead singers—Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) and Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin)—the band had risen from obscurity to fame. And then, after a sold-out show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, they called it quits. Now, decades later, the band members finally agree to reveal the truth. This is the story of how an iconic band imploded at the height of its powers.

The proliferation of television documentaries and mockumentaries has stretched the bounds of the format to imaginative extremes. Technology is testing our perceptions of ethical filmmaking, “Abbott Elementary” marks the latest hit sitcom to rely on talking heads for laughs, and “Documentary Now!” is an entire series made up of fake “docs” spoofing real documentaries. But whether you’re enjoying the explosion of documentary styles or fearing that a once-serious medium has jumped the shark, nothing can prepare you for the sheer lunacy on display in “Daisy Jones and the Six.”
Prime Video’s extensively misguided adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2019 novel makes its first and most notable blunder in attempting to map the book’s “oral history” template — which recounts the turbulent formation, success, and dissolution of a fictional ’70s rock ‘n’ roll band — onto a documentary structure.

Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's bestselling novel of the same name, Daisy Jones & The Six follows the roots and rise of a '70s band.
It's clearly an homage to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's tumultuous relationship, with Riley Keough and Sam Claflin playing their roles as Margaret "Daisy" Jones and Billy Dunne.
But aside from the musical influence and romantic entanglements and the era, Daisy Jones & The Six is an original, well-plotted story that has all the features of a rock documentary, including catchy music that will stay with you once the series ends.
