CBS has announced Survivor's 51st season and The Amazing Race's 39th season will air one after the other as a three-hour programming lock on Wednesday nights in Fall 2026. Each week, Survivor and The Amazing Race will each air as a 90-minute episode, culminating in a three-hour night of adventure and challenges and fan-favorite reality television. Survivor will air from 8-9:30PM ET/PT and be immediately followed by The Amazing Race from 9:30-11PM ET/PT. CBS made the announcement when unveiling the network's 2026-2027 primetime programming lineup, but specific premiere dates for both series have yet to be disclosed. CBS had adopted the same supersized format for Survivor's 49th season and The Amazing Race's 38th season, which both aired back to back in Fall 2025. However, The Amazing Race was left off CBS' schedule for Spring 2026, as only Survivor is currently airing on Wednesday nights. Survivor's milestone 50th season is hosted by Jeff Probst, and Phil Keoghan is also expected to reprise his hosting role on The Amazing Race. Survivor's 50th season still has 12 castaways in the running for the $1 million prize. Hoping to outwit, outplay and outlast, the remaining castaways on Season 50 include returning castaways Ozzy Lusth, Cirie Fields, Aubry Bracco, and Christian Hubicki. The Amazing Race's 38th season featured Big Brother alum Jag Bains winning the series with his brother Jas Bains. The pair dominated the competition, winning more than half of the season's legs. Big Brother alums Taylor Hale and Kyland Young finished The Amazing Race in second place last year. The cast of both Survivor and The Amazing Race's new Fall 2026 seasons will be announced at a later date. CBS's fall schedule will also feature new scripted series including NCIS: New York, Cupertino, and Eternally Yours. |

Netflix officially announced earlier this month that it has renewed Age of Attraction, hosted by former The Bachelor star Nick Viall and his wife Natalie Joy, after a successful first season. Following the March 25 release of the show's finale, Age of Attraction co-creators Rebecca Quinn and Jennifer O'Connell shared with Us Weekly how they imagine the show evolving. "A first season shows you what people actually care about -- and it's not always what you expect. There are moments you think will land, and then completely different ones take over the conversation," the pair said. "We had so many great stories we didn't have the time to fully explore, including same-age couples and, if there is a second season, we'd definitely lean into those relationships more." Rebecca and Jennifer said they also look forward to "expanding the overall storytelling" in the show. "[We'd like to feature] more love triangles and more depth across all the connections," they noted. Age of Attraction's debut season was divided into three parts. After initial connections formed, each couple was asked to decide in the "Promise Room" if they wanted to continue exploring their relationship. At that point, the cast members were allowed to discuss their age gap. The couples who chose to move forward then transitioned into the real world, before making a final decision on whether they wanted their romance to last. According to the co-creators of the show, there were 14 couples -- out of the original 40 participants -- who were ready to go into the real world, which "far exceeded" their expectations. "[There were] way more than we expected. The bad news is we didn't have the time to fully show everyone's journey," they said. "If anything, it's a testament to the casting and our casting director Jacqui Pittman did such an incredible job that we were forced to make some really tough choices in the edit." Rebecca and Jennifer added, "Looking back, we wish we found a way to sneak in a few more of those stories." They acknowledged it's "hard" to narrow down couples but are "thrilled" with how many chose to stay together in the finale. Although only two couples are still together now, Rebecca and Jennifer acknowledged, "It's always amazing to see something real come out of it. But even the relationships that didn't last still meant something." They pointed out that while "not every connection is forever," that "doesn't make it any less real while it's happening." The producers apparently consider two happy couples to be a great success story. "It's so exciting to see two of the couples in strong committed relationships and genuinely happy," they noted. "We shot the show almost a year ago so they truly have lasting power! It is interesting that one of those couples is an older woman with a younger man and an older man with a younger woman." And it appears, based on an "active" conversation online, that most Age of Attraction viewers enjoyed following along with the couples that had been selected. "We love that we sparked a real conversation and whether you believe couples with a range of age differences works or not, people love talking about it!" the pair told Us. "Our goal was never to tell the audience how to feel, but to present the relationships honestly and let viewers draw their own conclusions. We were also very intentional about showing a range of dynamics, including ones that don't often get as much visibility." When looking back on their casting and storyline choices, Rebecca and Jennifer admitted it was "hard to predict" what was "going to hit" or not land with viewers. "The only thing we can control is making shows we'd actually want to watch," Rebecca and Jennifer shared about the process. "And for us, that's something a little juicy, a little steamy, slightly unhinged -- but still heartfelt. So seeing people lean in the way they have -- texting about it, debating it, picking sides -- that's the win for us." |

When Survivor's production team was preparing to film the show's milestone season that premiered in February, Jeff, 64, told People that he set out to find a way to thank the crew for all of their behind-the-scenes hard work. RELATED LINK: 'SURVIVOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO'S STILL TOGETHER?! WHICH SHOWMANCES SPLIT UP? (PHOTOS) While crew members typically receive a hat or jacket each season, Jeff explained how he wanted to honor Season 50 with a more unique gift that felt "individual and personal." After asking family and friends for ideas, he said he kept coming back to dog tags. "I wear one every day that has the day I got married. It says, 'Dance with me,'" Jeff revealed to the magazine. "I have a personal connection to a dog tag, so that probably was some influence. But I also appreciated that with a dog tag you could truly make it individual and unique." Jeff said he spent several days looking for an artist on Etsy to make him custom dog tags in January 2025 -- and he ended up stumbling upon Heavy Metals Studio in Florida. At first, Jeff, who chose not to identify himself, asked the company to make a sample dog tag with the phrase "Celebrate 50." He also did not inform them this would be a gift related to Survivor. "I didn't want the name of the show to influence anything. I just wanted to see [the company's] pure interpretation of the idea," Jeff recalled. But once Jeff placed an order for hundreds of dog tags to be made in just a few short months, the sisters behind the company apparently put the pieces together on their own. Jeff ultimately asked the company to create 450 distressed and stamped metal dog tags that read "Survivor 50" and were individually numbered on the other side. The completed dog tags were shipped to Fiji in early April, according to People, and crew members -- ranging from microphone operators to laundry staff -- received them on-location before filming commenced. "When it came to handing them out, we wanted it to reflect how we see ourselves, which is we're one team," Jeff explained. "So there was no assigning of numbers and no hierarchy based on seniority. We put all the tags in one big box, and as crew members arrived in Fiji, they just reach in and grab one." Jeff continued, "Fittingly, a brand-new crew member pulled number one, which really said it all. It doesn't matter if you've been here one season or all 50 -- you're a part of the team." Jeff said the dog tags were a gift for the crew and so he chose not to pick one for himself. However, the crew secretly messaged the same Etsy business to create a 14k gold dog tag for Jeff, returning the favor. RELATED LINK: 'BIG BROTHER' SHOWMANCES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHICH COUPLES HAVE SPLIT UP?? (PHOTOS) "That really meant a lot because it was the completion of our team," Jeff noted. "And I can't say that enough. That is what it feels like to work on this show -- it's never about any one person. It's always about the entire team." Jeff added, "Something about these dog tags, which were all antiqued and distressed and all hand-stamped, kind of captured the essence of our show, of our crew, of base camp, of everything it takes to make Survivor." Probst admitted that filming Survivor 50 was the "most personally joyful time" he's "ever had" doing "anything work-related" in his life. "I was genuinely celebrating every day," Jeff shared. "I was full of gratitude that our show was still on, that we could still make it, that people would still show up to play. Then I'm looking around, and I've got this crew, and they're working their ass off every single day and every single one of them smiling all day." Jeff acknowledged how it's important to "take a moment to celebrate" special occasions. "When [my] kids were little and something special in their life would happen, they would accomplish something, I would always go get a cake," Jeff recalled. "At first, they thought it was absolutely ridiculous. They said, 'Are we going to get a cake every time we do something really significant?' I said, 'Yeah, because you have to take a moment to celebrate.' It's always been important to me because we move at such a fast pace." Jeff said it's especially easy to move quickly in Hollywood when the network wants the next episode and the next great idea. RELATED LINK: 'THE AMAZING RACE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS) "I just like to remind our crew it is okay to take a step back and say, 'I'm proud of that challenge I just built,' or, 'I'm really proud of the episode I just produced,'" Jeff said, "So that's what 50 was for me." Survivor 50 just aired an episode in which a pair of castaways was voted out: Benjamin "Coach" Wade and Chrissy Hofbeck. Rizo Velovic called the pairs twist the "biggest" Survivor twist of all time. |

The 64-year-old actress and comedian denied speculation she has plans to join the next Dancing with the Stars cast. RELATED LINK: 'DANCING WITH THE STARS' PROS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: WHO'S DATING OR MARRIED TO WHOM!? (PHOTOS) On Monday, Rosie posted an AI-generated photo of herself via Instagram in which she's wearing a green sequined dress and striking a pose on the ballroom's dance floor. The picture reads like a magazine cover and says, "Breaking News. Rosie O-Donnell [Makes] 'Dancing with the Stars' Debut: She returns to the U.S. in an epic comeback!" Rosie captioned her post, "This made me laugh -- reminds me to never get a perm !!!" Rosie was poking fun at her tightly-curled locks in the photo. "Completely untrue," she continued, "but funny [beaming face with smiling eyes emoji]." Many fans weighed in and expressed how they'd love to watch Rosie perform on Dancing with the Stars. "Wish it was true [clapping and fire emoji]," wrote one Instagram user. "I would absolutely watch the show." Dancing with the Stars has yet to announce its celebrity cast and lineup of professional partners for Season 35, which is expected to air later this year on ABC. Since Rosie won't be putting on her dancing shoes any time soon, some fans encouraged her to join The Traitors, which films in Scotland. Given Rosie currently lives in Ireland, the fan wrote in her comments, "Hey @rosie, have u seen the show The Traitors @thetraitorsus? There are many versions, including, the Traitors Ireland! I think you'd be great on that show trying to find some Traitors!" Rosie moved to Ireland last year with her youngest child, Dakota, after President Donald Trump was re-elected. Rose adopted Dakota in 2013 with her late ex-wife, Michelle Rounds, to whom she was married from 2012 to 2015, Us Weekly reported. The comedian also adopted Parker, 30, Chelsea, 28, Blake, 26, and Vivienne, 23, with her first wife, Kelli Carpenter. "I'm happy. [Dakota] is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home, and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country," Rose said in a March 2025 TikTok video. "And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back."

Juliana recently took to TikTok and posted a video in which she and Michael sat next to each other on a plane and exchanged glances -- and smiles -- as a crew member made an announcement to passengers. RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS) The crew member was promoting the airline and shared how passengers could book future flights to a variety of European destinations, including London and Paris. The crew member also noted how flights were available from New York and Boston. Juliana wrote over the footage, "When you told him you want him to propose in Paris, you just pooled your points on JetBlue & he's from NY and you're from Boston... was this a sign? Does [JetBlue] know something I don't? #proposal." The couple also attended Coachella this past weekend together and posted cute photos from the event via Instagram. Michael wrote alongside the photos, "Bieberchella weekend with wifey," which prompted fans to ask if they had already gotten married. "Wifey?" one follower asked. Another person chimed in, "Did u two get married?" Michael and Juliana hard launched their relationship earlier this month. Michael posted a carousel of photos of the couple and captioned it, "My person." Juliana called Michael her "favorite baby" in the comments, and he replied, "Love you." The pair kicked off engagement rumors late last month when Juliana uploaded a video of herself trying on wedding dresses in a bridal shop called Vows. "I've got Vows on my mind lately. Which one's your fav??" Juliana captioned the March 26 video. Juliana soft launched her romance with Michael in January after her breakup with The Bachelor's Season 29 star Grant Ellis. RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOW: WHOM DID 'THE BACHELORETTE' STARS AND THEIR BACHELOR PICKS ULTIMATELY END UP WITH?! (PHOTOS) At the time, Juliana posted a video of herself drinking champagne and lounging in a robe while her new man was looking out over a big pool. Juliana wrote over the footage, "I said I needed to escape seasonal depression so he flew me to Florida & took me to the spa at the St. Regis. Never settle ladies." Less than three months after their engagement aired on The Bachelor's Season 29 finale on ABC, Juliana and Grant publicly announced their split in June 2025 via separate Instagram postings. Juliana revealed that she was "having a good time with life" again during a December 2025 appearance on Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti's "The Ben & Ashley I: Almost Famous" podcast. "I am [dating again]. I am seeing somebody. It's new, it's fun and it's flirty -- and I like that!" Juliana revealed at the time. Juliana acknowledged how coming out of her breakup with Grant was "so hard" and so she wanted to take things "really, really slow" in the dating department. "It put my back a little bit into my old, 'I hate men' vibe, and I'm not a man hater and I'm not a woman hater. And so, I think I was just like, 'Let me give this guy a shot,'" she recalled. "He was blowing me up for like three straight months, nonstop, and I've been ghosting him. And I was like, 'You know what? Screw it! You're cute! So we're going to hang out.'" Juliana also confirmed that she and this mystery man were going to ring in New Year's together in Boston. But this isn't the first guy Juliana has dated since her split from Grant. During the December 2 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast, Juliana revealed a man she had been dating unexpectedly dumped her. "Recently, I went on what they call a Stoop date," Juliana said, explaining that a matchmaker, who is also her friend, had set her up with a guy. "It was a blind date but on her stoop in [South Boston], like, on her front steps. And that went really well. It was fun, it was cute, and we went on a couple of dates afterwards." RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO DID 'THE BACHELOR' STARS AND THEIR BACHELORETTE PICKS ACTUALLY END UP MARRYING? (PHOTOS) But Juliana admitted that the man said he "unfortunately couldn't handle the people coming up" to him "and asking questions" related to her stint on The Bachelor. "They were sending him DMs about me, and so I was like, 'I totally understand. No hard feelings,'" she shared. Since Juliana is a famous figure and has fans who are interested in her dating life, she said she intended to keep her next relationship "a little bit more on the down-low." If this new romance doesn't work out for Juliana, she said she'd be open to appearing on the next season of Bachelor in Paradise. Juliana and Grant got engaged in the Dominican Republic at the Final Rose Ceremony of The Bachelor's 29th season. The Bachelor finale in March 2025 had shown Grant appearing to still be undecided between Juliana and his other Final 2 bachelorette, Litia Garr, only minutes before the Final Rose Ceremony. When Grant dumped Litia, she complained about how she felt completely blindsided and devastated. Litia claimed on After the Final Rose that Grant had called her The One and confirmed they were getting engaged the night before the Final Rose Ceremony. Litia proceeded to throw shade at Grant on social media once the show wrapped, and she even insinuated that Grant probably picked Juliana as his winner because she allegedly slept with him in the Fantasy Suite. (Juliana denied the allegation afterwards). Juliana said Grant's "lack of accountability" in his breakup with Litia sparked an argument two days after they filmed After the Final Rose. This argument was the beginning of the end of their relationship, according to Juliana, who stuck it out a little bit longer but dumped Grant in May 2025.

After the Survivor 50 castaways competed as pairs in an Immunity Challenge, the Manulevu tribe individually voted out Coach, a three-time Survivor castaway whose best finish was second place on Survivor: South Pacific, and Chrissy, who was the runner-up on Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, in a 10-1-1 vote at Tribal Council on Night 16. RELATED LINK: 'SURVIVOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO'S STILL TOGETHER?! WHICH SHOWMANCES SPLIT UP? (PHOTOS) Rick Devens, who finished fourth on Survivor: Edge of Extinction, and Aubry Bracco, a three-time Survivor castaway whose best finish was second on Survivor: Kaoh Rong -- Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty, received one vote. And Emily Flippen, who placed seventh on Survivor 45, and Rizo Velovic, who placed fourth on Survivor 49, also earned themselves one vote at Tribal Council. Coach lost his vote because he chose to play his "Shot in the Dark," hoping it would save Chrissy as well, but the pair was deemed "Not Safe." "It was really a great healing experience coming out here. That's more than the million to me. It was an honor," Coach said on his way out of the game. Coach then added, "I'm not the least bit bitter. I think I had a great run, and I leave with my head held high. People will criticize me about haikus and everything else, but I am one of a kind. There is nobody else like me in the world!" And Chrissy said in her final words, "Survivor 50 was so fun for me. It healed a lot of old Survivor wounds for me." The Survivor broadcast began with the merged Manulevu tribe returning to camp from the Tribal Council at which they voted out Dee Valladares and flushed Aubry's hidden Immunity Idol. Jonathan said Dee's elimination is exactly what he executed and wanted, but Tiffany Ervin was upset to see her "No. 1" ally go home. Coach boasted about how he had driven the Dee vote and delivered it on "a delicious platter," but he realized he'd probably need to "lay low" and do some damage control. Jonathan Young said Coach was being his old "dragon slayer" self again, which was probably rubbing their tribemates the wrong way. Chrissy and Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick also agreed that Coach needed to "settle down" and stop blurting out haikus. Stephenie explained how her alliance consisted of Jonathan, Chrissy, Coach, Joe Hunter, Cirie Fields, and Ozzy Lusth. Stephenie said they were "rock solid and running the show." But Chrissy said she was afraid of the people playing in the middle: Aubry, Devens, Emily and Christian Hubicki. Chrissy acknowledged how the middle players were smart and had the potential to "con their way" into the Final 4. Ozzy was then shown telling Tiffany that he wanted to serve Coach's "head up on a silver platter" to her, although he was playing nice and allowing Coach to think that they were working together. Tiffany said Ozzy admitted to her that he had written her name down and so it was clear he wanted to fix things between them and build some rapport. Ozzy insisted to Tiffany that he wanted to work with her, and Tiffany believed him and was onboard. "Since the merge, me, Cirie and Rizo have been playing, sort of, all the sides, and so far, I think it's working," Ozzy told the cameras. "Coach is on my hit list, for sure, but for now, I need to stay locked in with Coach and show him I'm doing exactly what he says so that he stays nice and comfortable so we can lob off his head when he least expects it." On Day 16, a boat arrived to camp and dropped off a message. The Survivor castaways learned they must divide into six pairs. Since there were 13 people, one person was not going to be chosen. Devens, Cirie, Chrissy, and Aubry all volunteered to be the solo castaway, and they ended up picking Cirie by random draw. RELATED LINK: 'BIG BROTHER' SHOWMANCES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHICH COUPLES HAVE SPLIT UP?? (PHOTOS) The castaways began talking to each other and pairing up, and it didn't seem to take long. The pairs were Aubry and Devens, Ozzy and Stephenie, Rizo and Emily, Coach and Chrissy, Christian and Jonathan, Joe and Tiffany. Joe, Jonathan and Ozzy then discussed targeting Devens because he was so good at finding idols -- or going for Tiffany. Coach thought Tiffany was "the obvious choice" for the next vote, but he attempted to do some damage control with her so she wouldn't anticipate votes coming her way. Coach therefore told Tiffany that he never pushed for her name to be written down, but when pressed to reveal who had been gunning for her, Coach apparently couldn't reveal a name. "I already know Coach is being Mr. Large and In Charge at my expense," Tiffany told the cameras. "He doesn't take any accountability whatsoever, and as far as I'm concerned, that relationship is done and dead and buried." On Day 16, all the pairs met with Survivor host Jeff Probst, who revealed a new "Double Duo" twist with "double the stakes, double the decisions and double the consequences." Jeff explained that pairs would compete in the next Immunity Challenge and win -- or lose -- as a pair. "You will go to Tribal Council tonight and vote as individuals, but you can only vote for a pair," Jeff said. "Because tonight, one of these pairs -- both players -- will be voted out of Survivor 50... You will either live to see another day together, or your dreams of winning Survivor 50 will die together." Rizo said this twist might've "been the biggest of all time" because each castaway could be affected by his or her partner's relationships on the island. Jeff then told Cirie that since she wasn't in a pair, she wouldn't participate in the challenge. "You have no chance of winning immunity. The good news is, you can't be voted out tonight... You are leaving here now and getting on a boat and going to Exile Island," Jeff told Cirie. "I'll take it," Cirie responded. For the challenge, one person from each pair was required to throw a ball onto an overhead track, race through it, and try to catch it on the other side. Once both players were through, they'd work together to maneuver that ball across a series of platforms using paddles. After tossing a ball into a target, each pair would work together to build a bridge using puzzle planks. The first three pairs to build their bridge and race across it would move on to the final round. In the final round, each pair had to work together to retrieve a ball from a cage and then work together to maneuver two balls down a table maze. The winning pair would both be safe from the vote at Tribal Council that night and receive Reward in the form of a spaghetti feast complete with wine, juice and tiramisu. The three pairs who competed in the final round were Joe and Tiffany, Stephenie and Ozzy, and Devens and Aubry. In the end, Joe and Tiffany finished the challenge in first place and won immunity. Tiffany was ecstatic about her victory considering she had received votes at the previous Tribal Council. Jeff then explained to the castaways, "Tonight, you will vote individually, which means each person can vote for different pairs -- but you can only vote for one of the five pairs. When it comes to idols and advantages... one idol protects a pair." That meant that if a pair had an idol and chose to play it, both players would be safe. "If you want to play a Shot in the Dark, one person from your pair can play [it]," Jeff added. "They won't vote. They will draw a scroll. That scroll applies to both of you." Meanwhile, Cirie arrived at Exile Island and was shocked to see endless coconuts strewn about on the beach. Cirie learned on Exile Island that if she was able to find a golden Phoenix symbol on one of 2,000 coconuts spread out all over the beach, she would earn the right to return to camp, attend Tribal Council that night. and cast a vote. RELATED LINK: 'THE AMAZING RACE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS) However, if Cirie failed to find the special coconut in a certain amount of time, she'd have to spend the night on Exile Island alone. Cirie said she really wanted to protect her allies, and so she worked under the hot sun until she was totally exhausted. Cirie was out of breath and close to fainting, which made her cry. But Cirie kept moving and did "the impossible" by finding the Phoenix symbol. Back at camp, Christian said it was good to be tied to Jonathan because he wasn't catching any heat from Coach, Chrissy and Stephenie. "And I'm pretty sure my alliance with Cirie, Devens and Emily aren't looking to get rid of me either, so I am probably in good shape," Christian said. Emily then spoke to Ozzy and Christian about how Coach, Chrissy, Jonathan, Joe, and Stephenie were probably sticking together. "If we don't vote off Coach and Chrissy, they're going to have the majority of votes after this and it's going to be a steamroll to the end," Emily explained. Christian didn't like the idea of Coach and Chrissy being in the driver's seat going forward. But Rizo argued to Ozzy, "If we vote out Coach and Chrissy now, the floaters have all the control. If we take out Aubry and Devens, two of the floaters are out." Rizo said he wanted to play in the middle and be able to wiggle his way through the cracks. Aubry and Devens were well aware they had a target on their back, and Aubry wished she hadn't played her idol at the previous Tribal Council. But Aubry pointed out how people underestimated her ability to play Survivor. Meanwhile, Joe and Tiffany bonded at Reward and promised that they wouldn't write each other's names down. Joe suggested that they vote out Aubry and Devens, and Tiffany seemed onboard with the plan. At camp, Chrissy called herself "The Dragon Slayer Whisperer" and persuaded Coach to just relax in a hammock while everyone else strategized. Chrissy talked to Aubry and Devens about voting out Rizo because she didn't trust him. At this point, Cirie returned to camp and told Ozzy and Tiffany that they needed to take Coach and Chrissy out before Devens and Aubry because they were "almost like the mom and dad of their alliance." "Thank God that Cirie came back because I was going to vote out Devens and Aubry. I would've looked like such a dummy!" Ozzy admitted to the cameras. "Coach thinks I'm on his side, but really, I do want to take Coach out of this game. It all goes back to the first day and that 'fight for supplies' [challenge]. Coach stole the key from me even after... a gentlemen's agreement. But now, it's coming back to haunt him." Cirie therefore told Aubry and Devens that they were good, and Aubry was hoping her relationship with Cirie could take her far into the game. Cirie then heard from Chrissy that she was targeting Rizo, and so Cirie told Rizo that they had to vote out Coach and Chrissy that night. "I can chuckle... because people who take shots at me, they don't make it out alive," Rizo boasted in a confessional, adding, "You're targeting me, Chrissy?! Girl, bye!" But Rizo told Cirie that in order to pull this off, they needed Joe. Joe preferred to go after Devens and Aubry, and so he did everything in his power to switch the vote back to them. Joe told Rizo that he didn't want to burn one of their soldiers on the ship. "My soul tells me that we stick together on this," Joe told Rizo. Devens noticed his name was gaining speed in a big way, and so he talked to Christian about how he may have to use their fake idol at Tribal Council. Rick said he'd only introduce that fake idol into the game "out of total desperation." After Coach sang a little song in his hammock, the Manulevu tribe headed to Tribal Council on Night 16. At Tribal Council, Devens announced, "Unfortunately, I don't have an idol on me. I've actually been really frustrated by that because I had a clue for an idol, and I haven't been able to get to it. So I'm going to go ahead and get to it right now." Suddenly, Devens smashed open the wall around the fire and grabbed a package, declaring that he and Aubry were going to be safe that night. "I love you!" Aubry whispered to Devens. "That was cinema," Rizo said with a big smile on his face. "We're good. We're good," Devens assured Aubry. Jonathan then stood up and walked over to Joe, asking him what they should do. "I guess I had good reason to be nervous, Jeff. It seems like people are scrambled right now!" Devens noted. Stephenie then ran over to Jonathan and said Devens still had to play his idol in order to be sage. Chrissy also whispered to Coach that Devens had to play his idol. Devens assured Ozzy that he was "100 percent" going to play his idol. "I'm not writing Coach's name down, on principle," Joe whispered to Tiffany. Devens pointed out how alliances had just shown themselves, but Jonathan vented, "You're showing your colors, too!" As castaways questioned if Devens idol was real, Stephenie asked Devens to show everybody his idol. Devens refused and said, "You don't need to know what it looks like." After everyone voted and Jeff was ready to read the votes aloud, no one played an idol. RELATED LINK: 'SURVIVOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO'S STILL TOGETHER?! WHICH SHOWMANCES SPLIT UP? (PHOTOS) However, Coach decided to play his Shot in the Dark -- and both he and Chrissy were deemed "Not Safe." The episode's closing credits shows that Jonathan voted for Rick and Aubry, Chrissy voted for Emily and Rizo, and the 10 remaining castaways voted for Coach and Chrissy. |

Taylor, 31, took to Instagram Stories and posted a blurry photo of a vase filled with flowers on Tuesday, April 14. RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS) Alongside the vase was a card with a butterfly on it, and Taylor wrote over the picture, "Cried when I got the call [praying hands emoji]. THANK YOU to those that have stood with me." Taylor uploaded her message of thanks just hours after the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office announced in a press release that the 31-year-old The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star will be avoiding domestic violence charges, according to People. Two Utah police departments launched separate domestic violence investigations in February into alleged altercations between Taylor and Dakota, the 33-year-old father of her youngest son, Ever True, 2. According to the district attorney's office, the investigations were evaluated by multiple attorneys due to Taylor's high-profile status. In letters dated April 14 to both departments obtained by People, prosecutors explained that some of the alleged incidents occurred more than two years ago and therefore fall outside the statute of limitations. Prosecutors said other allegations either did not "rise to the level of criminal offenses" or lacked "sufficient evidence to support filing criminal charges." The district attorney's office also noted that some claims lacked specificity or corroboration. Prosecutors, however, indicated that they would reconsider the matter if additional evidence supporting "the prosecution of the suspect" emerges. While officials confirmed that the investigations will not impact the MomTok creator's probation status stemming from her 2023 arrest and indictment, Taylor was placed on a 36-month probation period, which is scheduled to end on August 24, 2026. No other individuals were considered for charges in connection with the cases. The Draper City Police Department previously confirmed in March that it had opened a domestic assault investigation involving Taylor and Dakota, noting that allegations had been made by both parties following contact with them in late February. RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOW: WHOM DID 'THE BACHELORETTE' STARS AND THEIR BACHELOR PICKS ULTIMATELY END UP WITH?! (PHOTOS) A police report later obtained by the magazine stated that the investigation began after a friend of Dakota's reported he had allegedly "been the victim of a domestic violence assault by an ex-girlfriend at her Draper residence." Dakota reportedly described two incidents of physical altercations with Taylor allegedly involving "grabbing, scratching, shoving and striking." Authorities also obtained photographs of "neck scratches" Taylor had allegedly inflicted on Dakota. The West Jordan Police Department confirmed it was conducting a separate domestic violence investigation after Dakota contacted police in late February and provided additional information in March, including a video believed to date back to early-to-mid 2024. Dakota filed for a protective order against Taylor on March 19, which was the same day ABC had announced its decision to cancel The Bachelorette's 22nd season. Taylor filed her own request on April 7, alleging a "pattern of abusive conduct and coercive control" during her on-again, off-again relationship with Dakota. Taylor reportedly alleged in her filing that Dakota became "increasingly possessive" as her originally-scheduled March 22 premiere of The Bachelorette neared. Taylor claimed Dakota had sent her obsessive texts, asked her for sex, caused physical bruises on her body, and got her initials tattooed on the inside of his lip in February. Taylor also alleged that Dakota "assaulted" her by "slamming her head against the dashboard of his truck and striking her knee and elbow" after driving her away from her Utah home against her will on February 23. During an April 7 court hearing, a judge granted Dakota temporary custody of their son. Taylor was only given up to eight hours per week of supervised visitation with Ever, either with a paid supervisor or an individual approved by a guardian ad litem. RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO DID 'THE BACHELOR' STARS AND THEIR BACHELORETTE PICKS ACTUALLY END UP MARRYING? (PHOTOS) Following the April 7 hearing, Dakota's attorney Joel Kittrell said in a statement, "Today's hearing was used by the respondent to assassinate Dakota's character as a dad, whose only concern is for the welfare of his son, Ever. We look forward to the 30th to tell the true story." The custody arrangement will remain in place until the pair's next court hearing scheduled for April 30, when a judge is expected to review their dueling protective orders. In addition to the February allegations, a 2023 video of Taylor and Dakota having a domestic dispute leaked on March 19 and showed Taylor punching, kicking and throwing metal barstools at Dakota. When Taylor was attacking Dakota in the video footage, her daughter Indy, now 8, was present and could be heard crying and screaming "mommy" in the background. Dakota could also be heard claiming that one of the stools had struck Indy during the altercation. Taylor's season of The Bachelorette was axed only hours after the video went viral. A spokesperson for Taylor -- who shares Indy and also son Ocean, 5, with ex-husband Tate Paul -- claimed that Taylor was "very grateful for ABC's support" as she prioritized her family's "safety and security" in a March 19 statement. "After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm," the spokesperson said on Taylor's behalf. Taylor was previously arrested for the 2023 fight with Dakota on charges of aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse with injury, and criminal mischief. Taylor pleaded guilty in August 2023 to aggravated assault in exchange for the dismissal of her other four charges. Taylor ultimately reached a plea deal that -- assuming its terms and conditions were followed -- would reduce her aggravated assault charge to a misdemeanor in August 2026, according to Us Weekly. Amid Taylor's legal troubles, Hulu paused production on Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. A source close to production told People last month that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars "banded together" to halt filming because they no longer wanted to be associated with Taylor. Jessi Draper, however, claimed the cast was concerned about Taylor's well-being and didn't want to talk about her personal life on-camera without knowing all of the details.

NBC has announced the Maroon 5 frontman has officially signed on to coach The Voice's next season. The Voice's official Instagram account wrote Tuesday night, "The champion returns. Adam Levine will be returning for Season 30 as a Coach! The Voice @NBC and streaming on Peacock." Adam, 47, also confirmed in an interview with People that he "will be back" to sit in one of the big red chairs. "I'm having so much fun doing it," Adam said. "Since I came back a few seasons ago, it's just been a blast and I'm super happy to keep it going as long as they'll have me." The rest of the coaches for Season 30, which will air this fall on NBC, have yet to be revealed. Adam returned to The Voice for its latest "Battle of Champions" season after previously serving as a coach from Seasons 1-16. He announced his departure from the reality singing competition in May 2019. "Doing it for so long, so consistently, for almost eight or nine years of my life, you can definitely start to get burnt," Adam said. "I did it for this really long period of time so I started to feel like I was kind of getting away from things that matter to me the most, like making music and playing music." The singer then returned for Season 27 of The Voice, which aired in early 2025. "It was one of those moments where we started talking about it and it felt right," Adam explained, adding how "the stars aligned" last year. Adam then took another brief break from The Voice, missing out on Season 28, before agreeing to compete against fellow veteran judges Kelly Clarkson and John Legend on The Voice: Battle of Champions. One of Adam's Season 29 team members, Alexia Jayy, was just crowned champion of The Voice during the finale episode that aired Tuesday night on NBC. Alexia's victory marked Adam's fourth win as a coach on The Voice. Adam's three previous wins as a coach were all before Season 10. He won Season 1 with Javier Colon, Season 5 with Tessanne Chin, and Season 9 with Jordan Smith. |

Survivor debuted on CBS in 2000, and with attractive, single castaways competing on each season, it isn't surprising love has occasionally blossomed on the reality competition! "Power couples" develop on the show whether they be intimate or friendly connections. A power couple is almost always viewed as a huge threat in the game, but sometimes the castaways don't care because they're desperate for a little companionship. Not only have Survivor viewers watched castaways -- who haven't showered or brushed their teeth in weeks -- kiss and cuddle on-screen, but they've also witnessed many showmances develop into real, sincere relationships outside of the show. In several cases, these romances even turned into marriages -- starting with Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich, who met in 2004 on Survivor: All-Stars and returned to compete on Survivor: Winners at War sixteen years later! In other cases, however, the dynamic was mere lust on a deserted island. "We were caught on-camera many times. I'm sure there was a lot of footage that would not be suitable for home viewers, if you know what I mean! It was jungle love, man," Ozzy Lusth told Entertainment Weekly when asked about his hot and steamy showmance with Amanda Kimmel on Survivor's 16th season. Since it's hard to keep track of all the Survivor lovebirds, Reality TV World has taken a look back at the hottest and most memorable showmances, including those involving additional Survivor: Winners at War returnees Parvati Shallow and Ethan Zohn. <H2>Which happened to Survivor's showmance couples? Who is still together and which Survivor couples broke up?</H2>And what about the off-screen Survivor couples that happened once the castaways returned home and met up in the real world?? Click the BEGIN link below to learn more about the various Survivor showmance couples that have appeared on the reality series the years and find out their current status! |

The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office announced in an April 14 press release that it has declined to pursue charges against the 31-year-old The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star after reviewing the cases, People reported.

Emily was partially to blame for Dee's Survivor elimination because she told Rizo that Dee had revealed his hidden Immunity Idol to her. Rizo, as a result, turned on Dee and rallied troops to vote her out. RELATED LINK: 'SURVIVOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO'S STILL TOGETHER?! WHICH SHOWMANCES SPLIT UP? (PHOTOS) Dee told Entertainment Weekly that there is significant cast drama unfolding off-screen as Season 50 continues to air on CBS, and many viewers assume that tension extends to Dee and Emily. When asked why she thinks Emily was blabbing secrets to so many players, Dee replied, "I don't man." Dee went on to admit, "Was I pissed at her in the moment? Yes. I cried because it hurt. She's a friend. It was just done in a moment where everyone was already on me." Dee also revealed that she and Emily talked before the game began, adding, "I only gave my word to two people, and one of them being Emily. I feel like I owed her something." But as soon as Emily shared her knowledge with Rizo, Dee explained in her EW interview, "My alliances were just, like, dismantled." Dee confirmed that she never confronted Emily about her betrayal during the game. "No, I didn't because I knew I was going home, and I didn't want to blow anything else up out of proportion," Dee explained. "I didn't want it to be a problem for Rizo. I already screwed him over. I didn't want to put target on Emily's back. I was already okay with the fact that I was going home, even pre-Tribal. So I didn't do that." Dee reiterated how she didn't see a benefit to arguing with the people she'd been working with. "If I'm going to try to fight, I'm going to try to fight against someone who's not in my alliance, right? And not try to blow up somebody's game like that," she shared. RELATED LINK: 'BIG BROTHER' SHOWMANCES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHICH COUPLES HAVE SPLIT UP?? (PHOTOS) Dee, however, apparently spoke to Emily and brought up the betrayal once cameras stopped rolling. "Obviously, post-game, I was like, '*****, why'd you do that?'" Emily recalled with a laugh. "But you talk about it and you get over it and it's funny. But in that moment, I knew I was going home. There was no point." Dee insisted that she and Emily get along well and are still close. "That's my girl. I love her. She's great TV," Dee said. "I love watching her be messy because it makes for good TV." While Dee and Emily have remained friendly, she admitted that Charlie Davis wants nothing to do with her after she called him the "dumbest" player on the beach. Dee said she actually reached out to Charlie "a few times" after they wrapped filming Survivor and he "never responded back" until Dee kept asking, "What's going on? Let's talk about it." "And, you know, he told me he was hurt," Dee claimed. "And we've had a few text exchanges, but it doesn't seem like anything's going to come from it. Which is okay with me. I'm sure it's okay with him too. I got my people, and I'm happy with them." Dee and Charlie's relationship wasn't the only one destroyed from playing the cutthroat Season 50 game. Following Mike White's elimination, he admitted to EW that he was still upset about Christian Hubicki's betrayal given they had been friends before the game. Mike even said he felt like Christian conned him for years. "I love to play the game with people who, when you get out of the game, you can laugh. Not just at what people are saying, but at yourself, too. And this is a season where a lot of people are not," Dee claimed. "It doesn't seem like they're enjoying the experience. But I think, for me, I mean, I'm enjoying it. I'm okay with it with any person because I come from a place of privilege. I won my season. I did it. I got everything." RELATED LINK: 'THE AMAZING RACE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS) It's clear many Survivor 50 players have bruised egos and played the game with raw emotion. "I mean, I think they should [feel that way]. We all care deeply about this game," Dee noted. "So I think it comes from a place of passion, at least for me. I can only speak about myself, but yeah, I don't know. People talk about all these pregame alliances. Oh, baby, wait until you hear about post-game." Dee laughed and added, "Post-game is even worse! It's truly worse. So I stay away from it as much as I can." Dee acknowledged it's the type of situation where you "100 percent" have to pick a side. "There's text messages flying out to each other," she revealed. "I mean, it's a lot... I think the live reunion's going to be great. I'm really looking forward to it." Dee was voted out of the merged Manulevu tribe on Night 15 of the game through a 8-4-1 vote at Tribal Council instead of Tiffany Ervin and Benjamin "Coach" Wade, respectively. Dee was ousted from the game after getting into an argument with Jonathan Young and playing her "Shot in the Dark," which couldn't save her from a torch snuffing. |

The Voice host Carson Daly announced Alexia, a 31-year-old mother of two from Mobile, AL, as the season's champion based on the in-studio voting results. "I cannot believe that I just won The Voice. I get to take this back home to my babies. Oh my God!" Alexia said following her victory. Alexia, an R&B powerhouse, was a triple-chair turn during the Blind Auditions and ultimately won Season 29 with her performances of "Lady Marmalade" by Patti LaBelle and "One and Only" by Adele. "I'm so proud of myself! This means so much," Alexia noted. Alexia made history by becoming the first Black woman to win NBC's The Voice. Alexia's victory also marked Adam's fourth win on The Voice. He returned to The Voice for the "Battle of Champions" after serving as a coach from Seasons 1-16 as well as Season 27. His three previous wins were all before Season 10: Seasons 1, 5 and 9. "[Adam's support] has meant the world to me. I didn't expect I'd get this far, so Adam giving me his kind words and just motivating me has really brought me so far," Alexia gushed of her coach. "And I want to say I appreciate you for that." Adam and his fellow The Voice coaches, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend, all seemed to agree that The Voice voters got this winner right. "I'd say I can't believe it, but I can. There is no one that is more deserving of this honor," Adam told the cameras. Kelly shared, "This was Alexia's night and I'm really proud of her. I'm going to cry! She's so gifted, and honestly, to see this woman that's 31 years old, it's like, 'Where have you been?!'" And John noted Alexia, "She's just consistently stunning and beautiful and magical. I am truly happy that she won the show." "Team Kelly" member Liv Ciara, a 16-year-old from St. Peters, MO, finished The Voice in second place. Adam told Liv and Alexia before Carson announced the finale results, "As far as I'm concerned, these are the two winners right here, and all that you need, you have. I think you already won." Liv told Kelly that she felt like she was "meant to be on this season." "I was meant to have you as my coach," Liv told Kelly. "Being young in the industry, there are going to be people who try to tell you what to be and how to act, and you told me to really go with my gut and trust my choices. And I'm so thankful for you." Kelly told Liz in reply, "You're ready at 16 and that's incredible! You have this whole adventure ahead of you and I'm glad you came back. Because you know what? Timing is everything." Liv first auditioned for The Voice for Season 28. She sang "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter but did not earn a chair turn in the Blind Auditions. In Season 29, Kelly saved Liv in the Battle Rounds using a "Super Steal" and advanced to the finals. "Sometimes it's your moment and sometimes it's not," Kelly continued. "But right now, it's your moment. You've got what it takes, you know what you want to do, and we're going to do it!" "Team John" member Lucas West, a 20-year-old from Fairport, NY, placed third in the competition. "[I've learned about] being a good musician but also about caring for people and valuing character. During my time with you John, I've learned a lot of life lessons, and I appreciate you for that," Lucas said at the end of the finale episode. And "Team Kelly" member Mikenley Brown, a 20-year-old from New Castle, IN, landed in fourth place. "[Kelly] has taught me to be who I am and have confidence in myself," Mikenley noted. |

During an April 7 hearing, Dakota was granted custody of Ever with up to eight hours per week of supervised visitation for Taylor until their next April 30 hearing. RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS) In an April 9 Instagram post, Taylor thanked the people who have been supporting her through all the recent allegations, reports and scrutiny. "Nothing but gratitude for these gifts given by different people at different times that have been essential for me through this specific time," Taylor wrote. In her post, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star shared a selfie of her crying in a car with white text over it that read, "It's miraculous that every essential or reminder I've needed was given through people." The MomTok creator also shared pictures of gifts she has received from friends -- including flowers, supplements and care packages. "Thank you to every message, meal, gift, call, prayer, and support of any kind sent," she wrote. "There is the human side of this and then it gets to a point of it being miraculous when you start to see it from a bigger lens [praying hands emoji]." Taylor filed for a protective order against Dakota on April 7, which was the same day as their hearing, alleging he's had a "pattern of abusive conduct and coercive control" throughout their on-again, off-again relationship, People reported. In the filing obtained by the magazine, Taylor alleged that Dakota became "increasingly possessive" as her originally-scheduled March 22 premiere of The Bachelorette neared. Taylor claimed Dakota had sent her obsessive texts, asked her for sex, caused physical bruises on her body, and got her initials tattooed on the inside of his lip in February.

Dakota previously filed for a protective order against Taylor on March 19, which was the same day ABC had announced its decision to cancel The Bachelorette's 22nd season. Dakota was later granted the temporary restraining order as well as custody of Ever, 2. In Taylor's April 7 filing, she claimed Dakota's restraining order from last month was an "effort to sabotage" her career. The Draper City Police Department reportedly opened an investigation on February 23 after Dakota's friend claimed he had "been the victim of a domestic violence assault by an ex-girlfriend" at her residence. Dakota later told police that there were "two incidents of physical assault involving 'grabbing, scratching, shoving, and striking,'" per the police report obtained by People. Dakota also provided photos of "neck scratches" Taylor had allegedly inflicted. In addition, the West Jordan Police Department confirmed to People in March that Dakota had submitted a video -- believed to have been taped from a domestic dispute in mid-2024 -- when speaking to police in late February. Authorities called the 2024 incident a separate "active domestic violence case" involving Taylor and Dakota.
