And Just Like That Premiere: Carrie and Aidan's Long-Distance Romance Hits an Embarrassing Snag (Plus, Grade It!)
Summer is here, and And Just Like That… is back for Season 3 — but Carrie and Aidan's romance isn't exactly turning up the heat. As Thursday's Season 3 premiere opens, Carrie and her beau are still separated, with him moving back to Virginia to take care of his sons, but they're keeping in touch by exchanging postcards… with nothing written on them. (She's sending him photos of old New York, and Miranda quips: 'To remind him you're old in New York?') Carrie insists that she and Aidan have been together a long time, and they know how they feel about each other. But that doesn't change the fact that Carrie is all alone in that big Gramercy Park house, and when she takes a spill and has to call Miranda for help, she realizes just how alone she is. More from TVLine Law & Order: Organized Crime Makes Us Fear That [Spoiler] Is a Goner, Then Hints at the Death of a Different Stabler - Read Recap Was Destination X Too Confusing to Follow? Grade the NBC Competition Hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan Hacks Renewed for Season 5 at Max When Anthony asks about Aidan, Carrie only tells him that he's 'out of town,' but Anthony can't believe she's in that big house all by herself: 'Who are you, freaking Rapunzel?' (Anthony later apologizes, but c'mon, we were all thinking it.) Aidan is missing Carrie, too: He calls her that night and tells her, 'I ache for you.' ('Can men ache?' Carrie asks.) He even gives phone sex a try, but he's drunk, and her cat is staring at her, so she just fakes it while he finishes. She wants a do-over, so she calls him another night and starts talking dirty — but this time, he's in bed with his son after a rough night. This latest failure leads Carrie to open her laptop and start writing for the first time in weeks, penning a line of thinly veiled fiction: 'The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into.' Elsewhere in the Season 3 premiere: * Miranda was back on the prowl at a gay bar, but suffered a humiliating rejection when she approached a girl — who turned out to be Brady's old babysitter. Miranda hung around until closing time, when she was approached by a Canadian tourist named Mary. (Hi, Rosie O'Donnell!) They ended up hooking up at Mary's hotel room, where Mary confessed it was her first time… with anyone. She's a nun! Soon, Miranda realized she had a Stage 5 clinger on her hands, with Mary texting her at all hours. Ghosting a nun would definitely be a sin, though, so Miranda met her in person and let her down easy. At least Mary got to see Wicked while she was in town. * Charlotte came to her dog Richard Burton's defense when a fellow dog owner accused Richard of shattering her dog Peanut's vertebrae. Charlotte was strongly in denial, first blaming her dog walker before learning that her precious pup is more vicious than she thought. It was all a misunderstanding, though: The accuser mistook Charlotte's dog for another bulldog in the neighborhood. Richard Burton, you are acquitted! * Like Carrie, Seema was having long-distance miscommunications this week: She's still with that big-time movie director Ravi, but when she tried to FaceTime him for some intimate time, he sent his assistant to say he's busy on set. Ravi flew to New York to apologize, but then he made her tag along all day as he scouted locations for his movie. When they missed their dinner reservation, Ravi admitted, 'I lost track of time' — and Seema replied: 'You also lost track of me.' She dumped him on the spot, and dove right back into the New York City dating pool. * Lisa was still pitching her PBS docuseries about unsung Black women, but the executives wanted her to add some star power by swapping in Michelle Obama for one of the subjects. Great, Lisa said… now all she needs is an interview with Michelle Obama. Meanwhile, her husband Herbert was desperately trying to up his cool quotient as he runs for comptroller, with urging from his campaign manager Chauncey. But Lisa's ears perked up when Chauncey mentioned he used to work at the White House. Maybe he can help deliver the Big O. (And no faking this time.) Are Carrie and Aidan fooling themselves, or do you still have faith in them? Give the premiere a grade in our poll, and then give us your thoughts on Carrie and company in a comment below.

Meet the cast of 'Destination X' reality show hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Having a Euro summer isn't for everyone between the cost and getting the time off of work. Thankfully, there's a new reality competition series to satisfy that travel bug without having to leave the comfort of your own couch! NBC's Destination X, hosted by The Walking Dead and Supernatural star Jeffrey Dean Morgan, combines a trip across Europe with a guessing game, and features some reality show alums from The Challenge, The Traitors, and Love Island playing against normal civilians. Competitors travel through different countries living in a blacked-out bus, and their goal is to figure out where they've been dropped off at each destination by using tourist attractions, hidden clues disguised as artifacts, and challenges. At the end of each episode, they'll enter the Map Room to make their guess on where they think they are, and the furthest from the location is sent home. Ultimately, the last player standing meets the host and wins $250,000. According to the release, contestants will need to rely on "their knowledge of pop culture, history, geography, and observational skills to win clues to their current location and earn an all-important advantage." Plus, players will need to learn to "ignore intentional misdirects" from their opponents to figure out where they are. We love sabotage! Another twist includes The Traitors/The Bachelor alum Peter "Pilot Pete" Weber and Love Island alum JaNa Craig hopping on the adventure bus to "change the trajectory of the game" somehow. And The Challenge and Big Brother alum Josh Martinez is also among the cast, starting off the season as the only reality TV veteran before Weber and Craig join the show. "I was expecting for there to be more TV vets, and I was very shocked when I took off my goggles and I was like, 'I don't recognize anyone!'" Martinez previously told Entertainment Weekly. "Once I saw the bus pull up and Jeffrey said that's where we were going to be living, I was instantly excited. And then once we hit the road for about six to eight hours, it had set in that this was going to be my reality for the next few weeks or months, and I went absolutely crazy... The living conditions on the bus was extremely hard for me." Below, check out the full list of cast members competing for the ultimate X premieres Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan had 'big concerns' to do 'Destination X'
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is heading for new horizons. The prolific actor, 59, has starred in many hit shows, including 'The Walking Dead,' 'Supernatural,' and 'Grey's Anatomy,' but his new show 'Destination X' (premiering May 27 at 10 p.m. on NBC and streaming the next day on Peacock) marks his first time hosting a reality competition series.

'It was like zoom interviews with friends,' he explained. '['Destination X'] was indeed something I had never done, nor had I thought about doing anything like this.

And now he's 6'2 he just turned 15,' he continued. 'It's gone so fast, but we have great kids. I'm excited for the world to get to know them now that we can allow them out a little bit more.

Gavin and Stacey star leads exciting all-star cast for BBC's popular returning special
Rob Brydon will lead the all-star cast of the BBC's upcoming special The Scarecrows' Wedding. The Gavin and Stacey star is lending his voice to an adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's beloved children's book of the same name, with the animated film set to air this Christmas on BBC One and iPlayer. The Scarecrows' Wedding is described as "an enchanting story about two devoted scarecrows, Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay, who are planning a wedding to remember". The synopsis continues: "When Harry insists on leaving the farm to collect one last thing for their big day, a smooth-talking scarecrow named Reginald Rake swoops in with plans of his own. Chaos follows, and soon Betty's in danger and everything's at risk. Can Harry get back in time and save the day? "Full of heart, humour and adventure, this is the joyful tale about loyalty, love and learning that the most important thing isn't a grand gesture – it's simply being together." Related: Best streaming services Brydon – who has lent his voice to all 12 of the BBC's previous animated adaptations of Donaldson and Scheffler's books – will voice Reginald Rake. Jessie Buckley and Domhnall Gleeson will voice Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay respectively, with Slow Horses star Sophie Okonedo narrating the story. Donaldson said that The Scarecrows' Wedding is her "favourite of all the books" she's created with Scheffler. Related: "It's a love story set on a farm by the sea, and the story contains a lot of comedy and a Hollywood-style villain (I thought of David Niven when I created that character)," she added. "The cast has brought such warmth and playfulness to the characters of Betty and Harry and the various animals, and Reginald Rake played by Rob Brydon is a real cad!" It comes after Brydon was announced as the host of Destination X, a new reality competition series from the BBC. The "innovative" series, which will "combine spectacular adventure travel and immersive gameplay with the ultimate guessing game", will air on BBC One and iPlayer this year, though a specific date is yet to be announced.
