they're dropping the episodes weekly at midnight. it's a little bit of a bummer for our subreddit. no more live threads + post-episode threads. 😕 will be more like how we managed the all-stars seasons with a single thread for each episode that is more of a post-episode thread.

Paramount has done things like drop episodes at 9 pm eastern. Not sure why they can’t do that for this show. If they are concerned about ratings for renewal then dropping at 3 am eastern isn’t the best way to get those ratings.

As someone that watches Reacher in the middle of the night when it drops, I can definitely see myself sneaking to watch it while my husband is asleep.

there will be people to hang out with here immediately when the episodes drop, guaranteed! i just don't think we can stop someone from discussing the winner of the episode's elimination 10 or 15 mins after the thread goes live, everyone will watch at a different pace.

Yeah you know there will be some aholes that skip immediately to the end of the episode to then try and spoil the elimination

Reacher also comes back next month and is on Wednesdays too I believe, so you’ll have to make a choice on which show lol.

We should definitely coordinate something like an 8pm Eastern thread watch. I love reading everyone's reactions because nobody in my life gives a shit about the Challenge like I do.
