2022 EMMYS PREDICTIONS:
OUTSTANDING STRUCTURED REALITY PROGRAM

AWARDS PREDICTION COMMENTARY:

“Love is Blind,” the streaming sensation with Nick and Vanessa Lachey guiding the viewer has tickled the zeitgeist by finding people willing to get engaged before seeing each other’s faces. The second season had plenty of twists and turns, and it managed to return after a brief hiatus due to COVID. The nom might be another stepping stone toward an eventual win, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be this year.

“Queer Eye” is tied with “Shark Tank” as the most awarded in this category, it’ll be a photo finish to see who gets to set the record and keep the notoriety all for themselves. The Fab 5’s sixth season performed very well on the streamer and continues to be a fan favorite, spreading positive messages all around, something our world desperately needs more of. The record could be well within reach.

“Shark Tank” is the second most nominated series ever behind “Antiques Roadshow,” it’s also tied for the most wins alongside “Queer Eye.” The “sharks” (Barbara Corcoran, Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John and Kevin O’Leary) continue to make dreams come true and dash them in the wake of their movement. With the economy having a seemingly strange and downward turn, will that affect whether voters pull away from voting for the ABC series — especially since it hasn’t won since 2017?

The first nomination for Chip and Joanna Gaines is priceless, but it also came with the launch of their own Magnolia Network. Not just renovating homes, they continue to renovate the TV landscape and the Academy voters are noticing. They could be a dark horse in the race and start a winning trend.

The sole nomination for “Antiques Roadshow,” the PBS series, it’s garnered 20 Emmy nominations across multiple categories shifting from non-fiction to reality program and finally into structured reality program in 2015; it has yet to win a single statuette. Will the Public Broadcasting Service ever go beyond collecting noms and move to trophies? The appraisal seems to be low at the moment.
