First, set a recurring alarm on your phone for 8:55 p.m. ET. Name it “Island Time.” Your friends will laugh now, but they’ll be begging for updates later.
Second, avoid X (formerly Twitter) like the plague until you’ve watched. People post the most wild recaps immediately. One scroll and you’ll see a photo of someone crying in a bikini with the caption “OMG SHE’S GOING HOME.” Ruined.
Third, and this is crucial: have snacks ready. You don’t want to pause the show to find a bag of chips. That’s when the biggest text arrives. Stay prepared. Stay seated.

If you’re in Central Time, that’s 8:00 p.m. for you. Mountain Time, you’re at 7:00 p.m. Hawaii and Alaska? You’re on your own, beautiful. But the show is streaming, so you can always watch it the next day.

Watching it the next morning is actually amazing. You get to fast-forward through the boring parts and go straight to the fights. It’s like having a personal editor. Highly recommended.
Just be careful not to accidentally see the winner before you finish. That’s like finding out a magic trick before the magician pulls the rabbit out. Devastating.
