This Challenge Quitter Just Delivered the Most Epic Tell-Off Ever
If heroes get remembered but legends never die, as the great Sandlot once posed, consider Real World: Las Vegas alum Arissa officially immortal. Her epic, vulgar-splattered tell-off on the most recent The Challenge: All Stars episode was NSFW myth-making at its most potent…and we kinda loved it. After Teck’s elimination, the game’s remaining players were divided into four teams for “On the Ropes,” a race played in two heats of two teams each. At the sound of host TJ Lavin’s horns, players would alternate racing from one platform across a tangled web of ropes to a second platform and back, at which point they could detach one of their opponents’ ropes and send it splashing into the water below. And while Gold Team Ruthie, Aneesa, Mark, Yes and Derrick proved to have the game down to a scien...

Master of None, the Emmy Award-winning show created by Aziz Ansari, has shared a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Season 3. Surprisingly, Ansari himself is nowhere to be seen, as the series turns its attention to Lena Waithe‘s character Denise. Season 2 appeared on Netflix four years ago, and at the time Ansari sounded pessimistic about a follow-up. “I’ve got to become a different guy before I write a third season,” he told Vulture. “I don’t have anything else to say about being a young guy being single in New York eating food around town all the time.” But rather than becoming a totally new person, he has inste...

To be fair, Elon has jokes for days. Like that time he tweeted, while allegedly under the influence of acid, that he would take Tesla public once its stock price hit $420. After the SEC launched an investigation into Musk’s comments, he admitted to learning about the significance of 420 from his girlfriend, Grimes, and thought she would find his tweet “funny.” Comedy, amirite? Anyhow, in be...
Spoiler Alert: This Team Just Won The Challenge: Double Agents
After a Challenge season that spilled over with unexpected injuries, crushing betrayals and at least eight pints of Icelandic blood cocktails (we’ll stick to seltzer, thankyouverymuch), Double Agents officially named its two champions on Wednesday’s finale. And after a grueling race to a mountaintop that featured seven seasoned vets, it was the lone remaining rookie who ultimately blew the competition away. When the final mission resumed at the top of the game’s final episode, Kaycee, who’d badly injured her knee during a footrace, watched her chances at Challenge gold slip away. Though she was committed to powering through her injury and chowed down on the second checkpoint’s stomach-churning entrees, her partner Fessy had all but given up. And when the game’s other three teams had advanc...
‘I Can’t Trust Your Wife’: Amber Tells Gary That She’s Done With Kristina On Teen Mom OG
Amber and Kristina have reconciled their differences in the past, but Leah’s mom insisted during Part 1 of the Teen Mom OG reunion that she will “never have a good relationship” with Gary’s wife from here on out. So can history repeat itself, or will the duo continue to be estranged? Earlier this season, Gary and Kristina spoke with Leah about her birthday and potential plans with her mom. Leah resisted inviting Amber to a small family get-together and stated, “Twelve years, and she hasn’t really done anything. That’s kind of been Kristina’s spot.” Kristina’s reply: “I’m just the bonus mom.” When Amber and Gary watched this scene back with hosts Dr. Drew and Nessa, Amber was upset at Kristina and believed she cou...
