This is an extremely niche tweet but the lowkey best reality TV show is Chicago WTTW's "Check, Please!" when one of the guests obviously hates another guest's restaurant recommendation and is trying to calibrate how mean to be about it.

I think we may have a new winner. Garfield Bight in very shallow water in Everglades Nat'l Park, SW corner of Miami-Dade county just hit 98.1F for two hours straight. Head scratching hot water over South Florida! Shallow water heats fast but this is a whole new level.
