Welcome to RTRs May 2024 Patreon!

Hi May Patrons!

Special thanks to everyone who pledged again for May, welcome back! And welcome to those of you that are new this month!

Please be advised that if you're adjusting your pledges or are new to our Patreon- Notifications from Patreon are typically really delayed on Billing Day and we typically can't see those changes until later in the day or even the next day when we get an onslaught of notifications all at once. If you're concerned at all that we haven't seen your pledge- please just send us a Direct Message so we can look that up for you!

We are  organizing all of the drives as billing settles and as Patreon sends us the billing reports. For any declines, we will check in with you first before removing you from the drive! For those of you that were unable to pledge for this month, we're sorry to see you go and hope to see you back soon!

In the meantime, while everything settles, we have this month's polls going for  New Movies and New Show! Be sure to weigh in!  (And remember you can vote for more than one ) Regular posting will resume again on the 3rd :)

Attached is this week and next week's schedule.

Winners will be announced May 7th :D

For those that are new- these are the shows that ranked highest in our April Pulse test for the shows we are currently reacting to (a poll we post each month to gage your favorite shows so we react to those ranked highest more often!). The next Pulse test will take place on April 10th. (Whichever show wins the poll- will be reacted to and posted before the pulse test :D)

Expectations for Other Shows (Slower Rotation)

Hannibal 3 Episodes Left

The Umbrella Academy 3 episodes

The following shows have more than 5 episodes so will be reacted to at slower rate. They will have a chance to be voted in again next month otherwise will be removed if at that time they still have more than 5 episodes left in the season.

Harley Quinn 6 Episodes Left

Happy Endings 18 Episodes Left

Friday Night Lights 1 Episodes Left

Gravity Falls 7 Episodes

Following shows were removed from rotation:

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Abbott Elementary

30 rock Season 5

The Inbetweeners Season 2

Supernatural

Nathan For You Season 4

What we do in the shadows Season 5

Friendly reminders on new rules:

Number of Shows in Regular Rotation:

Going forward we will limit the total number of shows in regular rotation to 10. Based on this pulse test, we will simply take the top 10 ranked episodes and those will be the ones regularly reacted to until the next pulse test. The only fluctuation on this, will be when a new show is voted in that isn't already in rotation- we will have 1 week with 11.  (The second week of each month)

Monthly New Show Polls:

We will keep things the same with an opportunity each month to vote in a new show. New shows are at risk of being voted down in this pulse test if it doesn't secure a top 10 spot and has more than 5 episodes left in a season.

Shows that fall out of rotation:

Shows that don't make the top 10 rankings will be reacted at a much slower rate. Those with 5 episodes or less left in the season will be reacted to until the season is finished and then removed from rotation until voted in again. Those with more than 5 episodes will have one more chance to be voted into rotation in the next month's new show or pulse test poll before being removed completely from rotation.

Managing the Pulse Test:

If a shows average ranking is less than 1.10 three months in a row, we will remove from pulse test. Once a show is removed, it can be added back to pulse test if sponsored or it wins the monthly new show poll.

Thanks again for all the support!
