August: 8 TVD episodes
September: 7 TVD episodes
October: 8 TVD episodes
November: 7 TVD episodes based on the schedule they just posted for next week (the last week of the month). They filmed 2 episodes ahead to create a VIP tier that can be ahead of the Exec, but Exec is still getting what it's always gotten in a month, it just no longer holds the "status" or "benefit" of earliest-ahead tier.
I see no difference in the quantity I paid for, for the month, and can handle entertaining myself with the VAST quantities of other TVD reactions out there for any week that doesn't have an upload. Spending an extra $5 for the sole reason of impatience is a waste
