<p>Leadership linked the decision to stores that have consistently underperformed and no longer meet financial expectations. Franchisees have been encouraged to assess each location&rsquo;s long-term potential. Some units may receive operational or technology upgrades to improve speed and service, while others will ultimately close so resources can be redirected toward stronger-performing restaurants.</p>

<p>The move falls under Wendy&rsquo;s turnaround initiative known as Project Fresh. The plan was announced earlier in 2025 and is built around four priorities: brand revitalization, operational improvements, optimizing the U.S. restaurant footprint, and smarter capital allocation. These priorities were reiterated as the company released its third-quarter financial results.</p>

<p>Those results underscore why the company is acting now. Wendy&rsquo;s reported a<strong> 4.7% decline in U.S. same-restaurant sales</strong> in the quarter, reflecting weaker traffic and challenging cost pressure. Global systemwide sales fell 2.6% during the same period, while international systemwide sales rose 8.6%. The stronger international performance highlighted a contrast with increasingly competitive conditions in the U.S. market.</p>

<p>A full list of locations set to close has not been released, and individual markets are still waiting for updates. Local reports in states such as New Jersey and Michigan confirm that franchisees have not been given specific details yet, and decisions are expected to roll out gradually based on performance reviews.</p>

<p>Wendy&rsquo;s has already been tightening its footprint over the past year. In 2024, the company closed about 140 outdated or low-performing locations as part of an earlier stage of its system evaluation. That effort set the foundation for the more extensive closure strategy now underway.</p>

<p>For customers, changes will depend on where they live. Some regions may lose a nearby restaurant, while others could see improvements to existing locations. Franchisees and investors may experience a shift in focus&mdash;from rapid expansion to improving the performance and profitability of existing stores.</p>

<p>The company believes this strategy will leave it better positioned in the long run. With underperforming units trimmed and targeted investments flowing to stronger locations, Wendy&rsquo;s leadership expects the brand to regain momentum in a crowded quick-service market.</p>

Wendy’s Plans Major U.S. Closures After Weak Sales Quarter

Wendy’s Announces Major U.S. Restaurant Closures

<p>The Grammys&rsquo; eligibility is a bit different than other award shows that award based on releases during a calendar year from January to December. This year&rsquo;s eligibility window covered music released between August 31, 2024, and August 30, 2025. To qualify, submissions had to meet commercial release standards and fit established genre definitions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here&rsquo;s how the voting works: voting members of the Recording Academy&mdash;including artists, producers, and engineers&mdash;could vote in up to ten genre-specific categories and all general field categories, such as Album, Record, and Song of the Year, as well as Best New Artist. Notably, the Academy broadened its voting body this year by inviting Latin Grammy members, increasing representation for Spanish-language music across major fields.</p>

<p>Let&rsquo;s get into the nominations this year, tell you who we think will win, who was nominated to our surprise, and who was snubbed.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 id="album-of-the-year">Album of the Year</h2>

<p><strong>Nominees: </strong>Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, Leon Thomas, and Tyler, the Creator.</p>

<p><strong>Prediction:</strong> Bad Bunny is the predicted winner. His album DeB&Iacute; TiRAR M&aacute;S FOToS made history as the first Spanish-language album nominated in this category and benefits from new Latin Grammy voter inclusion this year. Meanwhile, pop and rap votes are likely to be split between Bieber, Carpenter, Gaga, Kendrick, Clipse, and Tyler. Leon Thomas is a new artist, and his chances of winning without strong commercial backing are weak.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise:</strong> Clipse return with a critically loved but commercially modest comeback that landed them in AOTY, making three rap albums in this category</li>
	<li><strong>Snub: </strong>The Weeknd (Hurry Up Tomorrow), Lorde (Virgin), Amaarae (Black Star), and FKA twigs (EUSEXUA) were all left out. All critically acclaimed works, and The Weeknd&rsquo;s snub is the biggest shock, after the Grammys reconciled with him after his boycott due to getting snubbed for After Hours</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="record-of-the-year---song-of-the-year">Record of the Year / Song of the Year</h2>

<p><strong>Overlapping nominees:</strong> &ldquo;DtMF&rdquo; (Bad Bunny), &ldquo;Manchild&rdquo; (Sabrina Carpenter), &ldquo;Anxiety&rdquo; (Doechii), &ldquo;WILDFLOWER&rdquo; (Billie Eilish), &ldquo;Abracadabra&rdquo; (Lady Gaga), &ldquo;Luther&rdquo; (Kendrick Lamar ft. SZA), and &ldquo;Apt.&rdquo; (Ros&eacute; & Bruno Mars). &ldquo;Golden&rdquo; from K-Pop Demon Hunters appears in Song of the Year and &ldquo;The Subway&rdquo; (Chappell Roan) in Record of the Year.</p>

<p><strong>Prediction:</strong> The likely winner is either Gaga&rsquo;s &ldquo;Abracadabra&rdquo; or Kendrick&rsquo;s &ldquo;Luther,&rdquo; both boasting strong critical and fan reception. &ldquo;DtMF&rdquo; is a potential dark horse as it is the biggest hit from his album, which we think will win AOTY</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise: </strong>&ldquo;Golden,&rdquo; an animated soundtrack cut, broke through in a main songwriting category</li>
	<li><strong>Snub:</strong> Ravyn Lenae&rsquo;s &ldquo;Love Me Not&rdquo; and Kehlani&rsquo;s &ldquo;Folded&rdquo; were passed over despite favorable public reception, chart success, and critical acclaim. What a missed opportunity for the Grammys to show the R&B category some love</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="best-new-artist">Best New Artist</h2>

<p><strong>Nominees: </strong>Olivia Dean, KATSEYE, The Marias, Addison Rae, Sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young.</p>

<p><strong>Prediction: </strong>Leon Thomas is the favorite due to his nominations across AOTY and R&B categories, which are usually strong indicators of a BNA win if they are nominated for general field and genre categories. Lola Young and Olivia Dean follow close behind, boosted by UK chart success.&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise:</strong> Addison Rae and KATSEYE both break through despite the Academy&rsquo;s usual neglect of TikTok acts and girl groups</li>
	<li><strong>Snub:</strong> Jade, Ravyn Lenae, and FLO were all overlooked. The Grammys are once again choosing to pick mainstream acts over talented artists with moderate success</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="best-pop-vocal-album">Best Pop Vocal Album</h2>

<p><strong>Nominees: </strong>Justin Bieber (SWAG), Sabrina Carpenter (Man&rsquo;s Best Friend), Miley Cyrus (Something Beautiful), Lady Gaga (MAYHEM), Teddy Swims (Pt. 2).&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Prediction:</strong> Gaga is the predicted winner, based on her track record, as she is considered a Grammy darling. Sabrina has momentum as she previously won the category last year with Short n&rsquo; Sweet, but Gaga has the edge with a big comeback to her pop roots.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise:</strong> Miley Cyrus&rsquo;s inclusion recognizes her critically acclaimed project despite modest sales</li>
	<li><strong>Snub: </strong>Kesha (Period) and Tate McRae (So Close to What) were omitted</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="best-pop-solo-performance">Best Pop Solo Performance</h2>

<p><strong>Nominees: </strong>Justin Bieber &ldquo;Daisies,&rdquo; Sabrina Carpenter &ldquo;Manchild,&rdquo; Lady Gaga &ldquo;Disease,&rdquo; Chappell Roan &ldquo;The Subway,&rdquo; Lola Young &ldquo;Messy.&rdquo;</p>

<p><strong>Prediction: </strong>&ldquo;Manchild.&rdquo; Its songwriting and vocal delivery hit the sweet spots of the Grammys: Fun pop song, country twang, and a very singer-songwriter type of effort. If Sabrina wins, it will mark the second time she has won this category, following her win last year with &ldquo;Espresso&rdquo;. &ldquo;The Subway&rdquo; and &ldquo;Messy&rdquo; are close seconds as they live in the same realm as &ldquo;Manchild.&rdquo; Gaga&rsquo;s &ldquo;Disease&rdquo; may be too sonically dark and grungy to win, and &ldquo;Daisies&rdquo; lacks the depth of the others.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise: </strong>None</li>
	<li><strong>Snub: </strong>Doja Cat&rsquo;s &ldquo;Jealous Type&rdquo; and Tate McRae&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sports Car&rdquo; were omitted</li>
	<li>
	<h2 id="best-pop-duo-group-performance">Best Pop Duo/Group Performance</h2>
	</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Nominees: </strong>Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande &ldquo;Defying Gravity,&rdquo; &ldquo;Golden,&rdquo; KATSEYE &ldquo;Gabriela,&rdquo; Ros&eacute; & Bruno Mars &ldquo;Apt.,&rdquo; SZA & Kendrick &ldquo;30 For 30.&rdquo;</p>

<p><strong>Prediction:</strong> &ldquo;Apt.&rdquo; - a huge, catchy hit from a household name (Bruno) and a rising star (Ros&eacute;). Bruno is a Grammy's favorite and won this category last year with Lady Gaga for &ldquo;Die With a Smile.&rdquo; &ldquo;Defying Gravity&rdquo; is a close second as it's an old song that people already know and love, now revived by vocal beasts in the blockbuster hit &ldquo;Wicked.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise:</strong> &ldquo;Golden&rdquo; and &ldquo;Gabriela&rdquo; push boundaries with animation and K-pop, respectively</li>
	<li><strong>Snub:</strong> Sabrina Carpenter & Dolly Parton&rsquo;s &ldquo;Please Please Please&rdquo; and Jennie & Doechii&rsquo;s &ldquo;ExtraL.&rdquo;</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="best-r-b-song">Best R&B Song</h2>

<p><strong>Nominees:</strong> &ldquo;Folded&rdquo; (Kehlani), &ldquo;Yes It Is&rdquo; (Leon Thomas), &ldquo;Heart of a Woman&rdquo; (Summer Walker), &ldquo;It Depends&rdquo; (Chris Brown ft. Bryson Tiller), &ldquo;Overqualified&rdquo; (Durand Bernarr).</p>

<p><strong>Prediction:</strong> &ldquo;Folded,&rdquo; which is already being hailed as a modern R&B classic and credited for bringing the genre to the forefront. Leon Thomas&rsquo;s &ldquo;Yes It Is&rdquo; is a close second, as he is nominated for AOTY, which increases his chances. Summer Walker has been previously snubbed for her past work, but it&rsquo;s nice to see the Grammys recognize her talent with &ldquo;Heart of a Woman.&rdquo; Although her chances are low this year, she has a big chance to snag a Grammy next year with her upcoming album.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise: </strong>Durand Bernarr gets another nod for a technically masterful vocal performance, following last year&rsquo;s nomination</li>
	<li><strong>Snub: </strong>None notably missing here</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="best-r-b-album">Best R&B Album</h2>

<p><strong>Nominees: </strong>Giveon (BeLoved), Coco Jones (Why Not More?), Ledisi (The Crown), Teyana Taylor (Escape Room), Leon Thomas (MUTT).&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Prediction:</strong> Thomas leads again, especially with an AOTY nomination; it&rsquo;s not wild to assume his name is already carved on the award. However, Coco Jones could surprise us and snatch this award with her debut album (Why Not More?).</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise:</strong> Teyana Taylor&rsquo;s comeback after a long break was recognized</li>
	<li><strong>Snub:</strong> SZA&rsquo;s Lana (SOS Deluxe) was surprisingly left out, despite the standard being heavily nominated, including an AOTY nom</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="best-rap-album">Best Rap Album</h2>

<p><strong>Nominees:</strong> Clipse (Let God Sort Em Out), GloRilla (Glorious), JID (God Does Like Ugly), Kendrick Lamar (GNX), Tyler, the Creator (Chromakopia).&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Prediction: </strong>Kendrick is likely to win &ndash; his fourth Rap Album Grammy would maintain a perfect track record. Tyler is a strong challenger as he also won every time he was nominated in the category. Therefore, one of them will break a winning streak, while the other will continue it.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise: </strong>GloRilla enters the big leagues with her first major album nod</li>
	<li><strong>Snub:</strong> Megan Thee Stallion (Act II), Playboi Carti (I Am Music), and Mac Miller (Ballonnerism) didn&rsquo;t make the ballot</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="best-rap-performance">Best Rap Performance</h2>

<p><strong>Nominees: </strong>Cardi B &ldquo;Outside,&rdquo; Clipse ft. Kendrick & Pharrell &ldquo;Chains & Whips,&rdquo; Doechii &ldquo;Anxiety,&rdquo; Kendrick Lamar ft. Lefty Gunplay &ldquo;tv off,&rdquo; Tyler, the Creator &ldquo;Darling, I.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Prediction: </strong>Kendrick&rsquo;s &ldquo;tv off&rdquo; is the pick, one of his more popular songs off (GNX). He could have submitted &ldquo;Squabble Up&rdquo; and still have a strong chance at winning. The rest of the field is strong but less impactful in comparison.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Surprise: </strong>None</li>
	<li><strong>Snub: </strong>Megan Thee Stallion&rsquo;s &ldquo;Bigger in Texas,&rdquo; Drake&rsquo;s &ldquo;Nokia,&rdquo; and Playboi Carti&rsquo;s &ldquo;EVIL J0RDAN&rdquo; missed out despite being major rap hits&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<p>Catch the 2026 Grammy Awards live on Sunday, February 1. Whether you're watching for the performances, the speeches, or the shock wins, it&rsquo;s the rare night the music industry pauses to look at itself&mdash;and we all get to judge the reflection.</p>

2026 Grammys: Predictions, Snubs, & Surprises

2026 Grammys Predictions: Who Will Win Big This Year?

<h3>Game 1</h3>

<p>KT opened the game with pressure across the map. Early skirmishes went their way, and they built a fast lead. With a solid comp featuring Ashe-Braum bot, Rumble top, Wukong jungle, and Ryze mid, things looked promising. But the momentum shifted when Keria&rsquo;s Poppy shut down KT&rsquo;s key engages, and Faker was always ready to punish or wall them off on Taliyah. Each interrupt forced KT to back off, and T1 capitalized on every opening. By mid-game, T1 held full control and closed out the first win.</p>

<h3>Game 2</h3>

<p>The second game opened with some questionable picks from KT, including Ezreal into Sion, but their execution erased every concern. They ignored Sion entirely and focused on picking off the rest of T1. Vi and Neeko chained picks again and again, while Rek&rsquo;Sai kept slipping away and adding pressure. The constant picks snowballed KT&rsquo;s lead, leaving T1 no space to recover. KT wrapped up Game 2 with a clean Baron and evened the series.</p>

<h3>Game 3</h3>

<p>KT came into the third game with a stronger draft. BDD&rsquo;s Syndra alone was a major threat that T1 had to respect, deleting targets whenever she found an angle. And even when Syndra went down, Mundo stood in front soaking damage and chunking everyone with Heartsteel stacks. KT secured a clean victory and moved ahead in the series.</p>

<h3>Game 4</h3>

<p>T1 responded with a solid draft in the fourth game. Faker&rsquo;s Anivia controlled space, locked down chokes, and shut down KT&rsquo;s attempts to dive or pressure Kalista. Renata&rsquo;s revives also gave Oner the freedom to dive safely, leaving KT&rsquo;s carries scrambling and unable to react to his engages under the cover of Nocturne&rsquo;s ult.</p>

<h3>Game 5</h3>

<p>At game five, Oner set the tone with well-timed level 3 early ganks, giving Doran two kills on KT&rsquo;s top laner and putting T1 ahead. KT&rsquo;s plan was clear: stall the game and lean on Ziggs with Gathering Storm and a mid-lane Smolder scaling. They extended the match as long as possible, but T1&rsquo;s early lead and cleaner mid-game teamfighting held. The turning point came when KT&rsquo;s jungler went for top scuttle while dragon and Atakan were up, giving away two key objectives uncontested. What truly carried Game 5, though, were the Misfortune ults combined with the legendary Galio&ndash;Camille combo, leaving no room for Smolder or Ziggs to impact fights. This classic comp closed out the series and made T1 the League of Legends Worlds champions once again.</p>

<h2 id="affordability-as-a-common-thread">Affordability as a Common Thread</h2>

<p><img alt="" loading="lazy" src="https://dwy9ix7d387oz.cloudfront.net/attachments/2025/10/bdbc1f60-9918-4b38-bf50-8f0ed2c79b11.jpg" /></p>

<p>From the start, Mamdani built his campaign around one message: life in New York is too expensive. Rent, groceries, and transit are costs that touch everyone, no matter the borough.</p>

<p>He captured that frustration with humor in a viral video about &ldquo;halalflation,&rdquo; showing how rising costs and city permits pushed up the price of a halal plate. After taking a bite of chicken and rice, he joked, &ldquo;Tastes like ten bucks, but it should be eight.&rdquo; The line became a light-hearted symbol of a serious issue: the city&rsquo;s growing cost of living.</p>

<p>By tying economic frustration to something as familiar as a halal plate, Mamdani turned policy into a story. His proposals &mdash; rent freezes, city-run grocery stores, and fare-free buses &mdash; grew naturally from that same idea: connecting policy to everyday life.</p>

<h2 id="speaking-to-every-community">Speaking to Every Community</h2>

<p>New York is multilingual, and so was his campaign. Mamdani released videos and flyers in Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, and Spanish, reaching immigrant communities often ignored in city politics. In one Arabic-language video, he ate knafeh while speaking about the struggles of small-business owners and new families trying to find stability in New York. By mixing humor with cultural familiarity, he made economic issues feel personal and accessible.</p>

<h2 id="mastering-the-digital-stage">Mastering the Digital Stage</h2>

<p>Mamdani turned social media into his most powerful campaign tool. His videos transformed simple messages into sharp, relatable stories, using quick edits, close-up shots, and everyday city scenes.<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/26/zohran-mamdani-social-media-memes/"><em> The Washington Post </em></a>noted how his team blended meme culture with cinematic framing, creating content that felt authentic rather than staged. Viewers saw not just a candidate but someone who understood their lives and concerns.<img alt="" loading="lazy" src="https://dwy9ix7d387oz.cloudfront.net/attachments/2025/10/e8ed2ae0-57c3-4286-9b68-bda0ffa6b4c2.jpg" /></p>

<h2 id="the-power-of-consistency">The Power of Consistency</h2>

<p>Everything in Mamdani&rsquo;s campaign came back to one truth: life in New York has grown too expensive, and it can change. Whether he was at a community event or speaking on campus, his message never wavered &mdash; affordability affects everyone.</p>

<p>That consistency built trust. When he discussed rent, voters recalled hearing the same promise months earlier in their neighborhoods. When he mentioned grocery prices, they thought of the viral videos that made those struggles visible. His message didn&rsquo;t just repeat; it reinforced itself, proving that what he said online matched what he said in person.</p>

<h2 id="lessons-from-mamdani-rsquo-s-victory">Lessons from Mamdani&rsquo;s Victory</h2>

<p><img alt="" loading="lazy" src="https://dwy9ix7d387oz.cloudfront.net/attachments/2025/10/7629e466-9dfb-4416-b722-d94c122b38ef.jpg" /></p>

<p>Mamdani&rsquo;s rise signals a shift in how public figures connect with people. He showed that empathy, language, and storytelling can cut deeper than slogans or sound bites. His success proved that campaigns can speak to shared realities instead of divisions, and that connection can win where strategy alone cannot.</p>

<p>For future candidates and community leaders, his model offers a clear takeaway: focus on the real issues people face, speak their language, and meet them where they are. Mamdani&rsquo;s win was less about politics than about genuine communication.</p>

Zohran Mamdani & the Politics of Connection

Zohran Mamdani and the New Way to Win New York

<p>The recall affects approximately <strong>1,024,407</strong> vehicles built for model years <strong>2022 through 2026</strong>. The impacted vehicles include certain <strong>Toyota and Lexus</strong> models, as well as the <strong>Subaru Solterra electric vehicle (EV)</strong>, all of which are equipped with a &ldquo;Panoramic View Monitor&rdquo; system.</p>

<p>The root of the issue lies in a <strong>software glitch</strong>: when the vehicle is placed in reverse, the<strong> rear-view camera</strong> image may freeze or display a blank (black) screen because the software fails to comply with federal rear visibility requirements. That failure means the driver may not have a clear view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Toyota says dealers will apply a free software update to correct the issue for affected vehicles. Owners of the impacted models will be notified and can contact Toyota&rsquo;s customer service line or check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) via NHTSA&rsquo;s website to confirm if their vehicle is included.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is not the first time Toyota has faced a recall related to rear-view cameras or visibility issues. Just a few weeks earlier&mdash;in early October 2025&mdash;Toyota issued a recall covering nearly 394,000 vehicles (primarily 2022-2025 Toyota Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, and 2023-2025 Sequoia Hybrid models) due to a similar camera/display malfunction, where the rear-view image could fail while reversing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The earlier recall suggests a recurring visibility software risk in Toyota&rsquo;s newer models. In that prior action, letters were expected to be sent to owners <strong>starting November 16</strong>, 2025, and the fix was likewise described as a free software update.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Analysts say the repeated recalls highlight growing challenges for automakers as advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and camera-based monitoring become standard. Even though the software fixes are relatively simple, the scale of affected vehicles and potential safety exposure means that brand trust could be impacted.</p>

<p><strong>For owners:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Check your vehicle&rsquo;s VIN to see if it is part of the recall campaign</li>
	<li>Contact your local Toyota or Lexus dealer to schedule the free update</li>
	<li>Until the software fix is applied, take extra caution when reversing or relying solely on the camera system</li>
</ul>

<p>Toyota&rsquo;s statement underscores that owner safety remains its priority and the company is working to rectify the defect swiftly. For more industry updates, visit our <a href="https://several.com/news/tag/automotive" target="_blank">automotive news section</a>.</p>

<h2 id="series-premise---cast">Series Premise & Cast</h2>

<p>The plot follows Kim Kardashian&rsquo;s character, Allura Grant, a tough divorce lawyer who teams up with rivals Liberty Ronson (Watts) and Emerald Greene (Nash-Betts) to start a new law firm. Teyana Taylor plays an ambitious trainee lawyer, while Sarah Paulson appears as a scheming rival attorney, and Glenn Close portrays a seasoned veteran partner at the firm. In press materials, <a href="https://press.hulu.com/shows/alls-fair/#:~:text=A%20team%20of%20female%20divorce,play%20the%20game%E2%80%94they%20change%20it" target="_blank">Hulu</a> describes All&rsquo;s Fair as a &ldquo;fierce, brilliant and emotionally complicated&rdquo; drama about love and money in a high-stakes legal world. Executive producers include Kardashian herself, along with Ryan Murphy, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, and Niecy Nash-Betts. (Kardashian has long been interested in law &ndash; she even studied for the California bar exam &ndash; and Allura&rsquo;s character is said to be inspired by Kardashian&rsquo;s own former divorce attorney.)</p>

<h2 id="critical-reception--a-nearly-unanimous-thumbs-down">Critical Reception: A Nearly Unanimous Thumbs-Down</h2>

<p>Reviews of All&rsquo;s Fair have been overwhelmingly negative. Major critics panned the show&rsquo;s pilot and first episodes. <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/reviews/alls-fair-review-kim-kardashian-ryan-murphy-1236569795/" target="_blank">Variety</a> called it a &ldquo;clumsy, condescending&rdquo; drama unworthy of its feminist ambitions, and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/nov/04/alls-fair-review-kim-kardashian-divorce-drama-is-fascinatingly-existentially-terrible" target="_blank">The Guardian</a> gave the first three episodes 0 stars, deeming the writing &ldquo;fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.&rdquo; <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/alls-fair-kim-kardashian-disney-review/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> even labeled the series a &ldquo;crime against television.&rdquo; The early critic score on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/alls_fair_2025/s01" target="_blank">Rotten Tomatoes</a> famously sat at 0% for the first batch of reviews; a rare nadir that only reinforced the negative buzz. (That figure has since risen slightly as more critics weighed in, but the show still holds a dismal 6% &ldquo;Tomatometer&rdquo; score.) In short, most reviews criticize the show&rsquo;s thin characters and overwrought dialogue, leaving viewers more shaken than entertained.</p>

<h2 id="are-the-0--reviews-a-pr-stunt-in-disguise-">Are the 0% Reviews a PR Stunt in Disguise?</h2>

<p>Despite the critical onslaught, All&rsquo;s Fair has nonetheless become a hot topic online. Social media users have seized on the 0% Rotten Tomatoes news, joking that the show&rsquo;s lawyers must have been using ChatGPT to write their lines. The negative press has created a curious buzz: people are talking about the show more now than if it had quietly launched to mediocre reviews. In fact, after release, All&rsquo;s Fair shot to the top of Hulu&rsquo;s streaming charts worldwide. Tracking site FlixPatrol reported that it was the #1 TV show on Hulu and Disney+ globally as of November 5, 2025. Adding to the intrigue, Rotten Tomatoes&rsquo; audience score &mdash; known as the Popcorn Meter &mdash; has climbed to 65%, indicating that many viewers are actually enjoying the show despite its critical pummeling. This suggests that viewers are tuning in out of sheer curiosity (or even masochism) to see if the series is truly as bad as critics say.</p>

<p>The question has even been raised in casual conversation: Is the &ldquo;0%&rdquo; controversy inadvertently serving as reverse marketing? Some fans wonder if the producers might be counting on the curiosity factor: that by publicizing just how poorly the show is received, more people will watch it just to judge it for themselves. There&rsquo;s no evidence of any deliberate scheme by the marketing team, but the effect has undoubtedly been to draw eyeballs. For better or worse, All&rsquo;s Fair is getting attention it probably wouldn&rsquo;t have with a modest critic score.</p>

<h2 id="what-rsquo-s-next-for-all-rsquo-s-fair-">What&rsquo;s Next for All&rsquo;s Fair?</h2>

<p>All&rsquo;s Fair launched with glitz and glamour &ndash; but the glow dimmed quickly under harsh reviews. Questions remain whether the show can turn around the narrative with its later episodes. The show&rsquo;s creators have urged viewers to keep an open mind, and Kim Kardashian has defended her role as &ldquo;inspirational.&rdquo; However, the series is more famous for its ignominious ratings than for its plot twists. For now, it shows that even with a stacked cast and a major platform behind it, success isn&rsquo;t guaranteed. And sometimes, the harshest reviews can ultimately prove to be the best publicity.</p>
