Demi Lovato will be releasing her seventh studio album on August 15th, 2020. “The Love Of A Daughter” will surely be her most personal to date, as it directly involves her daily struggles in overcoming her past relationships with her late father. The inspiration for the album comes from her difficulties connecting with her father, including a feeling of abandonment during her teenage years. Following his death in 2013, Demi has had time to reflect on what her father meant to her and spent numerous recording sessions reliving many of her times of darkness and becoming stronger.

Music Videos:
"Step Into My World"
Director: Jennifer Lopez
Location: Miami
Special Guests: Alex Rodriguez
Synopsis: The video features J-Lo driving around downtown Miami. As she goes, she sees various small scenes happening (a family walking together, a street performer, a crime being stopped, etc). She glances at them, but then quickly ignores them as she continues driving. She checks her watch quite often. Eventually, she reaches her goal: her date at a restaurant with Alex Rodriguez. She embraces him as the screen fades the black.

"Expertease (Ready Set Go)"
Director: Jessy Terrero
Location: Race Car Track
Special Guests: Fans
Synopsis: To go along with the “Ready Set Go” idea, the video is set at a racetrack. The opening verse is set alongside J-Lo and her lover checking into the racetrack. When the chorus hits, the cars are off! However, by the second verse, it becomes clear that J-Lo isn’t just there for the race. She begins to try to pull her partner off into a back room. He initially is hesitant as he is very invested in the race. However, she eventually gets him to go in the back with her, and the video closes out with a shot of them walking into a room together. The video also features big fans of J-Lo as the race car drivers and the crowd.

"Hypnotico (Remix)"
Director: Jessy Terrero
Location: Alleyway
Special Guests: Nicki Minaj
Synopsis: The video is set in a dim alleyway, to fit the season. J-Lo is surrounded by other women, as she sits on a dumpster in the alley. Once the chorus kicks in, she jumps off of the dumpster and starts to dance alongside the other women in the video. When Nicki’s verse starts, the camera slides over to the back of the alley, where Nicki appears and starts walking towards J-Lo. At the end of her verse, Nicki disappears a la a witch, to further add to the Halloween esque theme. J-Lo looks surprised, and then launches into the final chorus.

"Good Hit (Remix)"
Director: Cameron Duddy
Location: Backstage and on stage at the Miami Arena
Special Guests: Britney Spears, Cardi B
Synopsis: A tour video featuring various footage of J-Lo in concert, as well as shots of Britney and Cardi coming to the concert, the reaction when they come out, etc. The final chorus features footage of all three women performing together on stage.

SIBUN TRIBE

Part 1: Image

Lonely Hour - The Weeknd

   

The Weeknd's fifth studio album titled Lonely Hour.
It has two featured artists, Kendrick Lamar and Gesaffelstein.

Runtime: 60 minutes 

The left image is the album cover. These two images would be the front and the back of a CD.
On the album cover, there are lyrics of his songs all over, signifying his thoughts and feelings over the hour.
There is a clock hidden in the layers as a reference to the album's title.
Each single's video represents fifteen minutes within one hour, with a sped up clock showing this time in the bottom left corner. This hour represents a condensed version of a relationship that was particularly hard for Abel.

---

False Alarm is released as the album's lead single on January 1st, 2021.

The video for this single shows clips of Abel and a girl (Selena Gomez) at a club. They are not together. Abel is with his friends but keeps looking over at this girl, who is having a great time. She's living it up with her friends, dancing with a whole bunch of people, and frequently doing drugs in the bathroom. His alarm should be going off, but Abel is fascinated and by the end of the video, they finally come face to face.

---

After Hours is released as the album's promotional single on January 15, 2021.

---

The album Lonely Hour is released on February 5, 2021.

---

A Lonely Night is released as the album's second single on February 16, 2021.

The video shows a portion of the night where Abel and the girl (Selena Gomez) are spending a lot of time with each other. They dance together, do drugs, and hook up in the bathroom. But this is all set against lyrics describing how they're better apart. They're clearly not a good fit for each other and it makes for a haunting, somewhat uncomfortable viewing experience. The situation escalates, and at the end of the video, once the song ends, the couple start arguing and the video cuts to black.

---

Save Your Tears (Remix) featuring Selena Gomez is released as the album's third single on May 28, 2021.

The video is set after the fallout of the video for "A Lonely Night". It somewhat mirrors the video for "False Alarm" in that the girl (Selena Gomez with vocals) is just trying to have a fun night with her friends, but Abel keeps trying to approach. As opposed to his interest in the FA video, he seems visibly distraught, desperately trying to get her to talk to him again, but she ignores him, despite multiple shots showing the pain on her face. At the end of the video, a clip shows her getting back with a guy (who may look a lot like Justin Bieber) that she was previously in a long relationship with.

---

Hurt You (ft. Gesaffelstein) is released as the album's fourth and final single on September 7, 2021.

The video starts with Abel watching the girl (Selena Gomez) and her girlfriend leaving the bar and continues to show close ups of him painfully taking shots at the bar. These are interspersed with clips of the girl and her ex hooking up. At one point, Abel goes to the bathroom and does a lot of cocaine. As the song fades out, the video ends with Abel passed out at the bar, his fate left unanswered.

Immunity Challenge Results

Spidey Probst: Let's see what each judge had to say:


Russell (Liucci)

SPOILER: Click to show

{Russell's Comments}Demi review: if you are trying to impress me with this album, "Daddy Issues" is the right first track on the album and right single release, as it is one of my favorite Demi songs. So way to start on the right note with that track! I do feel, however, that there could have been a transition track between "Daddy Issues" and "Old Ways" so as to improve the flow of things at the start of the album.

Wow, "For The Love of A Daughter" is beautiful in my opinion. I had not heard it before now, so excellent song choice there. "Cry Baby" is a catchy single choice; I could see it being successful. So solid follow-up single plan from "Daddy Issues" there. I also love the transition from "Cry Baby" to "Waitin' For You" on the album; very smooth-sounding transition!

"Without the Love" seems like it could be a successful single for Demi, so I will keep that in mind as I evaluate some of the later tracks which are instead chosen as singles.

Hmm... I like "Without the Love" better than "Shouldn't Come Back" as a single, as I feel like apart from Adult Contemporary/HAC potentially "Shouldn't Come Back" seems to me like a song that would not do too well on the charts for Demi. It feels like something that would--more likely than not--flop to me.

So I personally think "Without The Love" should have been single #3 for Demi.

"Ruin the Friendship" not a bad single choice; it could probably have some success.

OK, wow. "Games" is an excellent choice for a single--could definitely see it becoming a hit--especially with an Ariana feature. Strong finish to the album! I felt overall like tracks 1-11 were very well put together, tracks 12-13 meh imo, and 14-15 strong. I will keep in mind though when rating the track list though that 12/13 are only on the Deluxe Version.



Images: my first thoughts upon seeing them: these look all right as the first album covers I saw, but then I saw the other group's images, and also recognized quite a few of this group's images could use improvements. I feel like the "Games" single cover is sort of basic, and could have been made more personal, in line with the album's concept. I do like the text fonts the group included, but with that said I'm left wanting more with quite a few of the images. Quite a few of the images are too similar-looking (ex: the color schemes of "Cry Baby" and "Games"), and many are lacking the creativity that I feel could make them stand out. Further, some of them do not seem that they are that high of image quality, and I do not like the glaring lights reflecting through the cover of "Daddy Issues" in a way that makes it hard to look at. I feel like the "Daddy Issues" cover could have been photoshopped in such a way to reduce the glare, which definitely takes away from the visual aesthetic.

I rate the images for Demi: a 6.5/10 (the chosen album cover is strong, but most of the single covers could definitely be improved).

I rate the track list a 9.5/10 (for the Deluxe Version). I do feel tracks 12/13 could have been improved, but I would rate the non-deluxe version a 10/10 (honestly I feel the Deluxe Version would have been perfect with just the singles added).

Promotion: including Ariana to promote "Games" is a strong choice. I would like to read through all the details of the promotion more, but with the time I am allotted it is difficult to read all of the details there and then additionally analyze the other two albums, but from an overview perspective I'd rate it an 8/10. Also "segwayed" is spelled segued, but can honestly see how someone would trip up from that, lol.

---

Jennifer Lopez Review: honestly not big on the first song, and definitely don't like "Good Hit" and "Step Into My World" back-to-back, but "Step Into My World" is a pretty good track to include on the album. Tracks 3/4 ("Dance with Me"/"Hypnotico") finally strike a right chord with me, both in the sense of me enjoying them and enjoying the flow of the album. But then a few songs later I found that "Cherry Pie" was another one I was not that big on, but it is catchy, so that is a redeeming factor for it. The guitar solo in it is kinda cool too, so maybe it is something that could grow on me, but I really do not like the rest of the song upon first listen. OK, I like "Loving You". "Secretly" is a strong song choice as well for the album. I also like "Troubeaux". "I Love" is a pretty solid final track; love the drumbeat to it.

I also feel that "I, Love" could be remixed into a hit -- just add a famous rapper and let them do a verse or two and you would have a very solid single choice there IMO.

Single choices: "Step Into My World" (pretty good lead single), "Expertease (Ready Set Go)" (good choice), "Hypnotico (Remix)" f/ Nicki Minaj (good choice), "Good Hit (Remix)" f/ Britney Spears & Cardi B [not real big on the OG version of this song, and so I would prefer "I, Love (Remix)" be released].

Regular album version rating: 6.5/10 (I'm critical of the way it flows primarily). Deluxe version: ooh, I like "Invading My Mind", and "We Gotta Talk" is pretty funky, I like the vibe of it. So deluxe version = better, although I do think the entire album could use more mellow tracks early on to offset the very high-energy vibe I got particularly at the beginning of the album, so as to make it the most enjoyable experience possible.

Deluxe version rating: 7.25/10

I think 6.75 is the best estimate of my average score here, because my 7.25 rating is leaning more towards a 7 than it is to a 7.5.

Images: Easy 10/10. Image quality for each of them are out of this world, and in addition each one is very fitting to the song it is representing. The "Step Into My World" one specifically stands out to me, I think you guys chose the perfect image for that one!

But really each and every one of this group's images wowed me, so well done on that!

Promotion: doing another overview, 8.5/10 (I was initially going to give this a 7, but then I skimmed your music video ideas and was sold enough to give the promotion 1.5 points more, so well done with the video ideas)!

---

A little short on time for this final review, given the deadline Spidey wants this in by, so if anyone in this group would like me to go into more detail concerning my review so that you can get an equivalent amount of feedback relative to the other groups, feel free to PM me!

"Alone Again" slays (it has a spacey, ethereal quality to it that I absolutely love).

Track list: 7.75/10 (strong front-end, though back end could be improved)


Images: 8/10


Promotion: this group organized the promotion material fantastically compared to the other two groups, which made a skim-through much simpler, so thank you! Other groups --> please take notes for future competitions like this to make the formatting as easy to read for the judges as possible so that if they are in a time crunch, they can read everything easily! 8.5/10

---

Interestingly, I find that overall by combining the strengths of the three teams, the perfect album and corresponding plan could be created. Team 1 was clearly superior with the track list, team 2 clearly superior in image quality and fitting images to single choices, and team 3 was by far best at organizing the information concerning their plans (although the standout video ideas of team 2 could potentially enhance the promotional aspect team 3 has in mind; definitely think the extra detail Team 2 went into there was shrewd).

{Joe's Comments}Demi:

Image: I thought this was well executed. The album cover and the single covers work well, and it seems you guys put in solid effort. 7.5/10

Tracklist: Daddy Issues, Without the Love, and Unbroken were my favourite tracks. I didn't dislike any of the songs, but besides the three I mentioned nothing really stood out. 6.5/10

Promotion: This is where everything falls apart for me. What really bothers me is the whole concept of the tour. Having a couple of songs about daddy issues is perfectly fine. Having a whole album about it is a stretch, but i'm sure it can be done. But having a whole tour that revolves around it? You couldn't pay me to go see that. Having Christina Aguilera and Adele tag along for shows just because they share a traumatizing personal experience with Demi is just straight up offensive to me. Besides, Adele would never work with Demi. Also, the part where they stop at women shelters and domestic abuse centers is nice, but the spelling is incorrect. Whoever came up with this idea needs to be voted off ASAP! 2.5/10

16.5/30

J-Lo:

Image: All of the covers are cheesy if you ask me, but I still like all of them. They look overproduced but they look good so who cares right? 7.5/10

Tracklist: I was pleasantly surprised at how well this tracklist is! Admittedly I've never really given Jennifer Lopez a shot but if this album proves anything it proves that she makes pretty good music! My favourite tracks were Good Hit and Dance With Me. 8/10

Promotion: You guys had the best promotion! The timeline is nice and for the most part realistic. The music video section is well executed, it's great to see the creativity. The tour section is the best part for me. I love how you have different setlists for different parts of the world, and having guests based on where you are was a great touch. 8.75/10

24.25/30

The Weeknd:

Image: The album cover is excellent! The "story" of what the cover tells the listener is super creative. The single covers are good too, but nowhere close to the album cover. 8.5/10

Tracklist: This tracklist is superb. You've picked songs from every part of his discography and it all comes together very well. Bonus points for picking High For This, aka one of my favourite R&B songs of all time. 9.25/10

Promotion: While the promotion is significantly shorter when compared to the other two, I think you still did a great job. Having him perform at the Super Bowl is the perfect way to promote an album like this. The single releases are detailed and again I like how you follow a story. Great work. 8.25/10

26/30

{Stephenie's Comments}Demi

Part 1: Image
Overall love the artwork and fonts chosen, the tour poster in particular is great! As someone who did the artwork before props to whoever worked on this one!

If there's any criticism for this section it'd be wanting more than words for the "Games" single cover and wishing there was a back cover for the album.

9/10

Part 2: Tracklist

The tracklist works great for the stated inspiration and flows really really well. Very smart to choose Demi as her discography is mostly consistent and you could pull songs from different era's easily. The deluxe tracks make sense to be part of the recording proccess while also not being included on the main album since they don't fit the theme as well.

10/10


Part 3: Promotion

Breaking this down I will say single selection is perfect, tour is realistic for Demi and I could see the peaks happening for her with the right label backing. Not a huge fan of the videos and the naked zoom call in particular. Somehow it feels a little childish. No Montreal date loses all the points though!! (JK lol)

8.5/10

JLO

Part 1: Image

Totally get the inspiration and goal of this artwork and I commend the inclusion of a back cover...but there had to be much better photos of J.Lo to choose from. The album cover looks fine on first glance, but the font is cheap looking, she looks edited to the point of distraction especially those sunglasses.

On the back cover the colors clash really badly and it's way too busy of a picture to have works superimposed over. She's also really noticeably pixelated.

Single covers, SIMW is ok, not sure what the feel you were going for but it feels like she's being watched.
E(RSG) might've been a better album cover, still not loving the font choice at all.
Hypnotico looks cheap again and the pixilation is very noticeable
Good Hit is probably the best of them.

Tour poster I like the inclusion of the Livenation logo but having it say "world tour 2020-2021" and not having 2020 dates on the tour isn't great.

4/10

Part 2: Tracklist
The tracklist is mostly fine, inspiration wasn't really given but I'd guess the title is it and the selected songs all fit thematically. "Loving You" stands out in a bad way despite me liking the song I don't think it sonically fits the album, the other tribes didn't have a song stick out this much imo. I don't feel any of these sound like anything other than filler.

7.5/10



Part 3: Promotion
Moving past the tour poster not matching the dates the tour does look more or less perfect for J.Lo. The different set lists is a very nice touch!
The singles are good given what was included in the tracklist, though "Troubeaux" may have made my single choices. Still nothing feels like a knock out single and I can't fully get past that.

The videos sound good and very on brand.

8.5/10

The Weeknd

Part 1: Image

Ok while the cover looks a little too highschool photoshop it fits with the theme and the vibe the album gives. I can't take away too much from that. The back cover is fine as well, maybe could've been slightly more interesting if you were going to go through the trouble to make one but at least it's here!

The single covers and tour poster I have no complaints whatsoever they all work for me and I like that the promo single got an album cover!

9/10

Part 2: Tracklist

Now this is where my personal taste is going to hit this tribe the hardest but The Weeknd doesn't always do much for me, As a singles artist he's fine but listening to this much of him all in a row just causes me to tune out. It was a chore to get through this and felt a little overlong. I'm grading on a curve knowing how I feel about him and am giving a little leeway. But the flow needed more peaks and valleys.

8/10


Part 3: Promotion

Single selection is perfect and realistic love the details for each one. The tour is well thought out and feels like it would be great for him. The promo spots all are good too.

The music videos are well explained and I can picture them but they feel kinda cliche, the focus on Selena throughout is good but if they're back together why does the story tell a different one?

9/10

Cochran's Final Words



"wow. i've seen some blindsides, but that was a f**king blindside. as disappointing as this is, i have to hand it to my tribe for an excellent, proactive play. i legitimately had no idea this was coming, i even had an idol in my damn pocket.

i don't know who was behind this or if it was in response to my dumbass accidentally posting my vote in the tribal PM, but my gut tells me that bigfan had some type of role in this. i had a feeling he couldn't be trusted, and i really should have listened to it. i had actually considered trying to get him out for blatantly playing the middle on sibun, but i decided against it since i didn't want to make a big move this early (plus we never ended up going to tribal regardless). also, shoutout to sam for being a little less useless then i thought. your dumbass should have totally flipped on me during our first two games, but i guess it's better late then never. If you were behind this, i'm actually pretty impressed.

overall, this is really disappointing considering how exciting the all stars season has been, and i thought i really positioned myself well. but in retrospect, i may have have gotten a little too comfy, and if my dumbass got booted solely because of accidentally posting my sam vote in the tribal dm, then that's at least a memorable legacy. an erik giving up his immunity necklace level legacy, but still.

good luck to everyone, especially my fellow foodie, who i suspect may be the next to go on sibun but i dearly hope i'm wrong about. while i'm sad to be voted out, that was a great moment in an already extremely memorable season. i'm a bit salty, but no hard feelings, and i look forward to following the rest of all stars once my bruised ego has had a few days to heal" - Cochran (rainie)

Immunity Challenge

Spidey Probst: Hondo and Sibun, getting your first look at the new Macal tribe. Cochran (rainie) was voted out at the last Tribal Council. It is now time for the next Immunity challenge! Today's challenge is called "Post War" and here's how it works:

The challenge is simple and will require not only teamwork, but endurance. Your goal is to be the tribe with the most posts in main thread as possible during the challenge period.

There a few rules: You are not permitted to post back-to-back and you are not allowed to delete posts. In addition, you cannot repeat posts. Each of your posts must be unique. You will be disqualified from the challenge and any posts you have made during the challenge will not count for your tribe. So be careful!

An official post will be made in the main thread to start the challenge.

The tribe with the most posts at the end of the challenge period will win Immunity.


Spidey Probst: The challenge will last for a total 20 hours. One hour for each year Survivor has been on the air!

The challenge will start at 7:00 p.m. CT and will conclude at 3:00 p.m. CT tomorrow.


Spidey Probst: Hondo and Sibun, you each must sit-out one member of your tribe. They will not be permitted to post at all until the challenge has concluded.

You have until the challenge begins to determine your sit-outs. Please confirm them in your Tribe PM.


Spidey Probst: The stakes for today's challenge are high. Why you ask? Both of the losing tribes will be heading to Tribal Council. Each will vote a member of their tribe out of this game in a double elimination. The winning tribe will not only win immunity, but also a reward. They will get to choose which of the losing tribe's Tribal Councils they want to attend. Does everyone understand the rules? See you in a few hours!

You are not post in the main thread until the challenge begins.

Welcome to the green room buddy!

[Spidey]

The challenge will begin at 8:00 p.m. CT!

Dog Update: I got a call at around 6:40 p.m. that my dog went missing around breakfast time this morning. He's basically my child, who I have had for over 11 years, and has been spending the week at my grandmother's house. So naturally I got incredibly sick to my stomach. You don't tell me ALL DAY that my dog is missing? They are four hours away (and live in an area with a lot of predators that he is completely unfamiliar with) so I was feeling helpless for a few moments. Just got a call that he finally found his way home and is okay!
