It’s no secret that I’m a Survivor superfan. The only EW staffer who surpasses my fandom is the Survivor expert himself, Dalton Ross. He shares his love of the new season below, but he’s also orchestrating our new, incredible Survivor Hub where you can vote in our daily bracket to determine the ultimate Survivor winner, play our Survivor trivia game, watch exclusive videos, participate in polls, join the conversation in our comments section, and enjoy live Q&As with Dalton and Survivor legends. —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

Survivor 50

The landmark anniversary season of the reality competition series that started it all is finally in full swing, and the brutal battle for ultimate bragging rights has already claimed its first Tribal Council victim and seen its first big injury. Jeff Probst told EW that season 50 was “the most fun I’ve ever had on any season of Survivor.” He credits that to the cast, noting: “This is the only returning player season where the players had real joy and gratitude for being invited back.” And our joy and gratitude would skyrocket if a true wild card like Coach, Q, or Angelina can somehow find a way to pull it off. —Dalton Ross, Editorial Director
Scream 7

The absence of Sidney Prescott (now Evans) in the previous Scream movie is brought up several times in the latest installment. That alone tells you the trajectory for this new incarnation: a nostalgia-baked slasher whodunnit that often reminisces through Easter eggs about the glory days of ’90s Neve Campbell, for better or worse. —Nick Romano, Senior Editor
Connor Storrie hosts SNL

The Heated Rivalry star went from unknown to phenomenon in only a couple of months, and now he’s hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time. With an impressive ability to do accents and a background in clowning, Storrie is made for this. —Tiffany Kelly, Staff Editor
Mitski’s Nothing’s About to Happen to Me
Dead Oceans
Everyone’s favorite creator of sad girl music is back with her eighth studio album. The single “Where’s My Phone?” is the catchiest track, but “If I Leave” is a hauntingly beautiful song about contemplating the end of a relationship, accompanied by a creepy new music video. —T.K.
The Unknown
Emilio Madrid
Sean Hayes‘ one-man show at NYC’s Studio Seaview is a psychological thriller in which the Will & Grace star tells a story while acting out all the key players involved. Hayes’ incredible range makes the twisty tale, where all is not as it seems, even more engrossing. —D.R.
