π HELLO, NOVEMBER! πΏ (Patreon)
Content
A new month, a fresh round of voting, and hopefully a little more breathing room around here! π
October was a BUSY one for us outside of RTR. Between Bandtober, competitions, senior activities, and everything else happening behind the scenes, our schedules were all over the place.
We appreciate everyone who stuck with us through the craziness. β€οΈ
Now we're ready to get back into our regular rhythm, and November is already shaping up to be an interesting month!
We've got four shows approaching the finish line, some surprising movement in our Top 10, another new show about to join the rotation, and a fresh opportunity for YOU to help decide what comes next.
Reactions officially resume November 4! π¬
Here's everything happening this month!

π NOVEMBER'S CURRENT TOP 10
We're carrying October's final Pulse Test rankings into November, and there were definitely some interesting changes!
π₯ Daredevil: Born Again π‘οΈ
π₯ Lanterns
π₯ Gravity Falls Season 2
4οΈβ£ The Crown
5οΈβ£ The Pitt
6οΈβ£ Abbott Elementary
7οΈβ£ Doctor Who
8οΈβ£ Shameless
9οΈβ£ Supernatural
π Taskmaster
π‘οΈ Daredevil: Born Again is temporarily holding the protected #1 position after winning October's New Show Poll.
Once November's New Show Poll winner is announced, that show will take over the protected spot and join our priority rotation!
The remaining positions reflect your October Pulse Test votes.
A few things worth mentioning:
π Gravity Falls Season 2 climbed all the way to #3!
π¬ The Crown, Doctor Who, and Supernatural made their way into the Top 10.
π₯ Lanterns is still holding strong at #2, even after losing its protected position!
And remember, these rankings aren't permanent.
Our next Pulse Test goes live November 10, giving everyone another chance to influence which shows receive the most attention for the rest of the month.
π We'll also attach the complete October rankings so you can see where every show landed.

π¬ FOUR SHOWS ARE ALMOST FINISHED!
We're continuing our approach of not abandoning seasons when we're this close to completing them.
These shows are outside the current Top 10, but because they have fewer than five episodes remaining, we'll continue releasing reactions at a slower pace until they're finished.
π¬ The Handmaid's Tale β’ 1 episode remaining
π¬ Veronica Mars β’ 2 episodes remaining
π¬ X-Men '97 β’ 3 episodes remaining
π¬ Paradise β’ 4 episodes remaining
That's four more seasons we're working toward completing!
As we finish these up, we'll have additional room to work with, especially as new shows enter the rotation and the community continues shifting its priorities.

π¬ NOVEMBER RECOMMENDATIONS ARE OPEN!
It's time to tell us what we're missing!
If there's a show you've been waiting for us to start or a movie you think would make an incredible reaction, now is your chance to get it considered for November's polls.
πΊ NEW SHOW: Recommend a series we're not currently watching. Your submissions help us build the New Show Poll, and the winning series earns the protected #1 spot in our rotation.
πΏ MOVIES: Recommend movies you'd love to watch with us! Your suggestions help determine which titles make it onto our community movie polls.
Submit your recommendations here:
https://form.jotform.com/233084334000037
π³οΈ Polls go live November 5!
And remember, submitting a recommendation doesn't automatically add it to the schedule. It gives that title a chance to make it onto the ballot so the community can vote!
ββββββββββββββββββ
πΏ THREE MOVIES. THREE COMMUNITY DECISIONS.
We're sticking with our monthly movie format for November.
π¬ Two movie spots will come from your recommendations, with the winners decided through community voting.
π₯ For the third movie, RJ and I will put together our own selection of films we've been wanting to watch, and you get to vote on the winner.
So whether the suggestions come from you or from us, the community still has the final say on all three movies!
And after a month of spooky season, we're curious to see what direction you all take us next. π
ββββββββββββββββββ
π SEPTEMBER + OCTOBER SUPERLATIVES ARE COMING!
We owe you TWO rounds of Community Superlatives!
With everything happening during Bandtober, we weren't able to get September's announcements out as planned, and October followed right behind it.
Rather than skip either month, we'll be recognizing both September and October's Community Superlative winners! π
These are our opportunities to highlight members who have made a genuine, positive impact on our community.
We appreciate your patience, and we're looking forward to celebrating the people who continue making RTR such a great place to hang out.
And yes, we'll be revealing the surprises that come with those recognitions, too! π

π REACTIONS RETURN NOVEMBER 4!
We're giving ourselves the first couple of days of November to get organized and ready for another month of reactions.
Our regular reaction releases will resume Wednesday, November 4!
We'll be sharing our first November schedule so you can see what's coming, and once the polls and Pulse Test are complete, we'll start incorporating those results into the upcoming weeks.
We're looking forward to settling back into a more consistent recording and release rhythm!

β€οΈ NEW TO RTR? WELCOME!
If you've recently joined us, we're happy to have you here!
A quick reminder that we manually set up new members with access to our reaction library.
Because of the amount of content we share through Google Drive, everything may not appear immediately when you first join.
If you've signed up and haven't received access yet, or something isn't working properly, please send us a direct message.
That's the best way to reach us so we can look into your account and help get everything set up.

π¬ BEFORE WE GET STARTED...
We're heading into the final two months of the year, and there's still plenty of time for the rotation to change.
We've got four seasons nearing completion, another new show on the way, and some returning favorites climbing the rankings.
So here's our question:
What show are you MOST hoping gets more attention before the end of 2026? π
Is it already in our Top 10? Something sitting outside the priority rotation? Or a completely new series you're hoping makes it onto November's ballot?
Let us know below!
And don't forget to submit your show and movie recommendations before the polls go live November 5!
π Here's to a fresh month, more great reactions, and finishing 2026 strong!
