Lots of familiar faces from The Bachelor franchise were at the season finale of The Golden Bachelor last week as Mel Owens’ journey concluded. This included Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, the couple from the first season, who famously divorced just three months after getting married. Since the release of Turner’s book, they’ve been publicly blaming each other, and sources say they may have been contractually obligated to attend the finale.

Post Malone, the singer known for his country roots, will perform during the halftime show at the Dallas Cowboys game against the Kansas City Chiefs on CBS, starting at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. As a lifelong Cowboys fan from Texas, he said it’s a dream come true to perform at the game and participate in the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army, helping to bring hope to others. Interestingly, Post Malone’s performance is thanks to Eminem, who has a partnership with the Detroit Lions to produce their Thanksgiving halftime shows through 2027.

Kizzi and Cathy are playfully discussing a recent drama involving Alicia and a crew member, joking that she was making her feelings clear. Just then, Ashleigh walks by, and unexpectedly, this turns out to be good for her screen time. The real issue, however, is Joe. After a romantic dinner, he tells both Ashleigh and another crew member that he wants to date them both. Neither is thrilled, and Ashleigh is especially upset, already bothered by his earlier comment about wanting ten children. She firmly tells him he can’t treat people like options and then texts a friend to coordinate dumping him. The next morning, she quietly slips away before anyone else wakes up – the perfect escape. The whole situation becomes juicy gossip among the crew. Kizzi, who witnessed the fallout during her shift, leaves a Post-it note in Aesha’s bathroom detailing everything for her to discover the next morning.

Tatsuya Nagamine, the acclaimed anime director best known for his work on Dragon Ball Super, sadly passed away this summer. Many fans credit him with revitalizing the DBS anime during its peak, and he will be greatly missed if the series continues.

Okay, so as someone who’s basically lived and breathed gaming and nerd culture my whole life – and I also write about it – going to this event was a total must. I really wanted to get what makes this fandom tick, so I spent the whole weekend diving in. It was amazing to see what everyone was so hyped about, especially when it comes to this mobile fighting game. Honestly, the sheer number of characters – over 300 Marvel heroes and villains! – is just incredible. You won’t find that kind of roster depth in many other games, period.
