'The Traitors' is opening its doors to everyday people. Here's how you can join the TV competition

'The Traitors' is opening its doors to everyday people. Here's how you can join the TV competition

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. version of "The Traitors" has brought a group of public figures to a castle in the Scottish Highlands for a game of deceit, with hundreds of thousands of dollars up for grabs. Now, the Emmy award-winning competition will open its doors to everyday people. NBC is now casting for a civilian version of the popular Peacock series, the network announced Thursday. The competition reality series, an American spin-off to its British counterpart, had only cast celebrities for its first three seasons, the last of whichaired early this year. The new version will bring a group of everyday people together to play what the host, Alan Cumming, called his "treacherous game" in a video announcing the public casting. Cumming is set to host the new version as well, with production for the show starting in 2026, according to the network. Those who are interested in participatingcan apply now on the show's website. The fourth season of the celebrity version is set to launch next year, and a fifth season has already been confirmed. The star-studded cast for season 4, announced in June, includes reality stars from "Love Island," "Big Brother" and "Survivor." "We're thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable – and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers," Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, the producers of both the Peacock and NBC versions, said in a statement. The show features a group of contestants who participate in a murder mystery game similar to Clue or Mafia. A subset of the cast are secretly labeled as traitors and must work together to eliminate the other contestants, who are considered faithfuls. On the line is a prize fund worth up to $250,000. If the faithful manage to eliminate all the traitors, then they share the money. But, if a traitor makes it to the end, they take it all. The British version uses the same location and has used civilian contestants from the start. Casting everyday people will allow complete strangers to meet for the first time, a "unique opportunity" that "will be an incredible watch," said Sharon Vuong, the executive vice president of unscripted programming at NBCUniversal Entertainment. "This new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time and we know it will be incredible to watch," Vuong said in a statement. The psychological adventure has found reality TV gold, and its third season premiered as the No. 1 unscripted series in the U.S., according to a release by NBC. The show also recently received five Emmy nominations for season three and previously took home two of the awards for season two.

Arch Manning doesn't make Manning Award watch list

Arch Manning doesn't make Manning Award watch list

Arch Manning is the preseason Heisman Trophy favorite, but he's not officially on the radar of the award named after his family. Yet. The watch list for the 2025 Manning Award, which recognizes the nation's top quarterback,was released Thursdaywith 27 different quarterbacks making the cut. Manning, whose family is the namesake of the award, wasn't one of them. Manning entered the Texas program as one of the most-hyped recruits in college football history and is taking over the starting job after two seasons of backing up Quinn Ewers. Hewas the favorite to go first overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, untilhis grandfather Archie said he expected him to stay at Texas for his senior season. There is a reason for Manning not making the Manning Award watch list, though. Every quarterback who made the cut saw significantly more action last year than the 21-year-old, who appeared in 10 games but started only two for Longhorns. The Manning Award's announcement makes clear that additional quarterbacks will be added to the watch list as the season progresses, and you would figure that Manning will be an easy choice if he performs as expected. And if he is one of the frontrunners, we'll see how he does with a voting panel that includes multiple family members. The Manning family might even be in on some kind of joke here, as Archie is directly quoted in the release saying they will review the newcomers: "We're looking forward to another exciting year of college football," said Archie Manning. "I'd like to thank the Sugar Bowl for continuing to build the tradition of the Manning Award which now has over 20 years of honoring the top quarterbacks in the country for the entire football season. This year we have another great group on our preseason Watch List; in October, we'll review the transfers and other newcomers and then boost the Watch List with the best from that group." If you're curious, here's the full list of quarterbacks on the preseason watch list, which includes Penn State's Drew Allar and LSU's Garrett Nussmeier, the new favorites to go first overall in the draft next year. Drew Allar, Sr., Penn StateLuke Altmyer, Sr., IllinoisCJ Bailey, So., NC StateRocco Becht, Jr., Iowa StateTucker Gleason, Sr., ToledoTaylen Green, Sr., ArkansasJosh Hoover, Jr., TCUBlake Horvath, Sr., NavyKatin Houser, Jr., East CarolinaKeyone Jenkins, Jr., FIUKevin Jennings, Jr., SMUAvery Johnson, Jr., Kansas StateColton Joseph, So., Old DominionHaynes King, Sr., Georgia TechCade Klubnik, Sr., ClemsonSam Leavitt, So., Arizona StateMaddux Madsen, Jr., Boise StateOwen McCown, So., UTSABehren Morton, Sr., Texas TechParker Navarro, Sr., OhioGarrett Nussmeier, Sr., LSUDiego Pavia, Sr., VanderbiltMarcel Reed, So., Texas A&MSawyer Robertson, Sr., BaylorLaNorris Sellers, So., South CarolinaBrendan Sorsby, Jr., CincinnatiNicholas Vattiato, Sr., Middle Tennessee

Robert MacIntyre birdies last six holes to seize BMW lead

Robert MacIntyre birdies last six holes to seize BMW lead

Robert MacIntyre of Scotland birdied his last six holes to blow past Scottie Scheffler and grab the first-round lead of the BMW Championship on Thursday in Owings Mills, Md. MacIntyre posted an 8-under-par 62 at Caves Valley Golf Club, which also hosted this tournament in 2021 and produced a plethora of low scores, including a 27-under winning mark for Patrick Cantlay. Nobody went lower than MacIntyre to open this year's edition. He will take a three-stroke lead over Englishman Tommy Fleetwood into Friday. Scheffler (4-under 66) is alone in third after taking the lead into the clubhouse in the day. MacIntyre entered the week 20th in the FedEx Cup standings. The top 30 after Sunday qualify for next week's Tour Championship, and a strong finish in Maryland would take MacIntyre far away from that bubble. The 29-year-old said he didn't believe a 62 was likely for anyone Thursday. "There's chances. If you drive the ball well, it does give you chances," MacIntyre said. "... I'm sure the next couple of days won't be as easy." MacIntyre birdied the 11th hole but bogeyed the 12th to sit at 2 under for his round Thursday afternoon. His remarkable birdie run began with a 66-foot putt at the par-3 13th and a 40-footer at No. 14. In fact, the first five birdies of that streak all came from at least 11 feet out. At No. 18, he knocked his approach shot to inside 5 feet for the exclamation point. "Probably the last six holes is probably as good as I've ever putted in a stretch of holes," said MacIntyre, whose big moment this year was a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open. "Just so consistent." Fleetwood's bogey-free 65 included a long putt of his own, a nearly 34-foot left-to-righter on the final hole to move past Scheffler for second. "To go bogey-free around there is really, really good," said Fleetwood. "I think I made like two or three really good par saves, but apart from that, I did a lot of things well." Fleetwood nearly captured his first PGA Tour victory last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship but a late bogey kept him out of a playoff eventually won by countryman Justin Rose. There was a two-hour, 13-minute delay in the afternoon due to lightning in the area. When play resumed, Scheffler birdied three of his final four holes to set the early pace at 4-under 66. "Significantly softer," Scheffler said of how the course changed. "The fairways were really rolling out to start the day. Greens were firm. So yeah, golf course changed pretty significantly after the delay." Tied at 3-under 67 are Rickie Fowler, Ben Griffin and Norway's Viktor Hovland. Hovland, the 2023 BMW and FedEx Cup champion, needs a strong week to stay inside the top 30; he entered at No. 28. "It's still another tournament," Hovland said. "I've still got to play well, and then we'll see how it shakes up. If I play halfway decent, that top 30 shouldn't be an issue. Just trying not to lose my mind out there if it goes south." Fan favorite Fowler leapt from No. 64 to No. 48 by tying for sixth last week at the St. Jude. Another high finish could place him in the Tour Championship field for just the second time this decade. "I feel like things have been heading in the right direction, and I've been in a good spot for a few months now of knowing where the game is and it's continuing to get better," Fowler said. "This (course) is a bit different. It's a lot different test than what Memphis gave us last week, but with how the game has been, in a way kind of playing the last two weeks -- more so this week probably in a way, more so nothing to lose." --Field Level Media

Why 'Project Runway' Fans Hate the New Season

Why 'Project Runway' Fans Hate the New Season

Why 'Project Runway' Fans Hate the New Seasonoriginally appeared onParade. Project Runwayfans can agree the show just hasn't been the same since the departure of Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, the show's original host and mentor. While they helmed a new design competition calledMaking the Cut, Season 4 winner Christian Siriano filled Gunn's mentor shoes, and a whole bunch of other personalities tried to fill Klum's heels. But let's face it—there's nothing like hearing Klum say, "You're out" in her thick German accent. Butfor Season 21,Project Runwaygot a new homeon Freeform as well as a new host. Well, a new old host. Klum returned! One day you're in, and the next day you're out...but several years later, you're back in again. Despite showing a promising start pre-season, fans don't seem to be jiving with it so far. Here's why. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 There's one big general fan consensus around Season 21: it's too heavy on the drama. While the early seasons were focused on the designers' construction and creativity, this season has so far been centered around conflicts and critiques. "All the manufactured drama, the expletives and the gratuitous rudeness… I was totally turned off and do not plan to watch any more episodes as long as this BS is going on," one disappointed fan wrote onReddit. Another commenter put it succinctly: "It's turned into Real Housewives of the Runway." Another controversial twist came this season: the elimination is now shown at the beginning of the next episode, forcing viewers to wait a week after watching the challenge to see who goes home. "All this drama is built up as we head toward the end of the show — who will be sent home???" aRedditorwrote. "And then the show ends and now it's a week later and you know what? I don't really care anymore." One fan argued that these tweaks make the show feel like a shell of its former self. "Every episode feels like a trailer," they wrote. "No thanks."

Brandon Blackstock's death certificate lists seizures as significant contributing factor

Brandon Blackstock's death certificate lists seizures as significant contributing factor

Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Brandon Blackstock's death certificate has been released, after the former talent manager and ex-husband of singer and TV hostKelly Clarksondied Aug. 7 at the age of 48. According to the death certificate, whichEntertainment Weeklyhas obtained, Blackstock's cause of death was malignant melanoma — a type of skin cancer it says he had for three years — and his manner of death is listed as natural. The document also lists seizures as the only "significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause." The death certificate states his time of death as 11:13 a.m. on Aug. 7. It also states that no autopsy was performed, and that Blackstock was cremated. PEOPLEfirst reported on the details from Blackstock's death certificate. Dan Hollis, coroner for Silver Bow County, previously confirmed the form of skin cancer as Blackstock's cause of death to EW. At the time, it was reported that Blackstock passed peacefully surrounded by family at his home in Butte, Mont. A representative for the family said in a statement, "We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time." Blackstock's death was reported just one day after Clarkson announced she was postponing the remainder of her Las Vegas residency at Colosseum at Caesars Palace. "Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas," shewrote on Xat the time. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them," she continued, referring to herdaughter River Rose, 11, andson Remy, 9. Clarkson apologized to fans, writing, "I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding."

Blackstock, who also represented Clarkson at one point, first met in 2006 at a rehearsal for the Academy of Country Music Awards and wed in 2013. After nearly seven years of marriage, they separated in 2020. Following a long and contentious legal battle over child custody, spousal support, and division of property, the two finalized their divorce in 2022. Blackstock, who was also the former stepson of country singer Reba McEntire (his father, Narvel, and McEntire were married from 1989-2015), reportedly left talent management and moved to Montana in 2021. His death certificate lists his occupation at the time of his passing as "rodeo producer." In addition to his children with Clarkson, Blackstock was also father to daughter Savannah, 23, and son Seth, 18, from his marriage to Melissa Ashworth.

Little League World Series pleads for fans to not bet on games involving children

Little League World Series pleads for fans to not bet on games involving children

Gambling has become ubiquitous at nearly every level of every sport these days. The organizers of the Little League World Series would like it to stay away their tournament. Withthe LLWS in full swing, Little League Internationalreleased a statement Thursdaystating there is no place for sports betting on its games or any other youth competition. The full statement: While Little League® International continues to monitor the complexity and ever-evolving world of sports betting, we feel strongly that there is no place for betting on Little League games or on any youth sports competition. Little League is a trusted place where children are learning the fundamentals of the games and all the important life lessons that come with having fun, celebrating teamwork, and playing with integrity, and no one should be exploiting the success and failures of children playing the game they love for their own personal gain. The 2025 Little League World Series is currently taking place with its championship game scheduled for Aug. 24. While no major sportsbooks offer odds on a tournament that features children ranging from 10 to 12 years old, the same is not true for unregulated, overseas sportsbooks. The brand manager of one such firm, in its fourth year of offering LLWS odds,told the Patchit will see more bets on Little League games than "any professional tennis or soccer match over the next two weeks." The floodgates opened for sports betting with a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2018, with each state allowed to determine the legality and advertisements flooding the media environment. MLB, the NFL, the NBA and many more leagues all have official gambling partners. The transition has definitely not been without incident. Setting aside the ethical concerns ofgambling addictionsandpersonal bankruptcies, problems in baseball have included players sidelined forallegedly tipping the scales on micro-bets involving their pitchesandhorrific death threats against players they supposedly let down. It's understandable why Little League doesn't want that influence to reach its players, with all of its advertisers banned from using any sort of gambling imagery. Still, the bettors are clearly out there.

Lakers honoring legendary coach Pat Riley with statue to be unveiled on Feb. 22

With the NBA revealingits full 2025-26 regular-season scheduleon Thursday, theLos Angeles Lakersannounced the date when former head coach Pat Riley will be honored with a statue unveiled outside Crypto.com Arena. The statue will be presented to the public on Sunday, Feb. 22, on Star Plaza outside the Lakers' home arena before the team's game against theBoston Celtics,the team announced on Thursday. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The Lakersoriginally announcedthat a statue honoring Riley would be unveiled at some point in 2026, but didn't have an exact date at the time. Riley will be the eighth figure to be so honored by the team, joining Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Chick Hearn and Elgin Baylor on the plaza. During his tenure as Lakers head coach from 1981 to 1990, Riley's teams won four NBA championships. The Lakers won 50 or more games in each of his nine seasons on the sideline, winning 60-plus games in five of those seasons. He was awarded NBA Coach of the Year honors in 1989-90 when the Lakers finished 63-19. Forever a part of Lakers history.We are honored to share that Pat Riley's statue will be unveiled on Star Plaza on February 22.pic.twitter.com/p6ozuVn1Rw — Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers)August 14, 2025 "Pat is a Lakers icon," Lakers team owner Jeanie Buss saidin a statementreleased in November. "His professionalism, commitment to his craft and game preparation paved the way for the coaching we see across the league today. "My dad recognized Pat's obsession and ability to take talented players and coalesce them into a championship team. The style of basketball Pat and the Lakers created in the 80s is still the blueprint for the organization today: an entertaining and winning team." Riley also became an iconic face of the "Showtime" era that was arguably the most successful in Lakers history. The origins of that era were chronicled in 2022-23 for a new generation of NBA fans in the HBO dramatic series, "Winning Time," based on Jeff Pearlman's 2014 book "Showtime." The Lakers had a bitter rivalry for NBA supremacy with the Celtics during the 1980s, which is surely why the ceremony will take place before hosting Boston on their home court. Riley's 533 regular-season wins are the second-most among the franchise's head coaches, behind Phil Jackson's 610 victories. Altogether, including playoff wins, Riley won 635 games with the Lakers. As "Winning Time" also reminded fans, Riley's history with the Lakers goes back further than his tenure as head coach. He played for the team from 1970-75, averaging 7.8 points per game as a shooting guard, and was a member ofthe 1971-72 Lakers squadthat won 33 consecutive games and an NBA title. Riley was also an assistant coach for three seasons under head coach Paul Westhead, a span during which the Lakers won two NBA championships. Currently, Riley is the team president and a minority owner of theMiami Heat. After leaving the Lakers following the 1989-90 season, he coached theNew York Knicksfor four seasons and another 11 seasons with the Heat. He won an NBA title with Miami in 2006. With 1,210 wins as an NBA head coach, Riley ranks fifth all time in league history.

Apa and his ex-girlfriend,Clara Berry, welcomed son, Sasha Vai Keneti, on Sept. 23, 2021. Apa, who was 24 at the time of Sasha's birth, said that becoming a father helped him get sober. He said becoming a father has been "awesome," and "forced [him] to chill." "It also forced me to get sober," theRiverdalestar said. "A lot of things that I realized I had to button up, I buttoned up. Yes, and I realized that there's no other way for me to do it." Cohen, 57, asked whether Apa "succumbed to the old trope of, 'Wow, I'm famous, I have a lot of money and I'm just going to party.' " Apa immediately confirmed he did, and confessed that he "got lost in" the fame ofRiverdale's success. When Cohen asked if it was only Sasha's birth that brought him to sobriety, Apa said it was both Sasha and his "relationship with [his] higher power." "Sasha being a gift that saved my life. I truly believe having Sasha saved my life," he said, before adding, "You know you have a kid and then suddenly you understand the idea of murder, you know that, like you can empathize with why someone would kill someone —" "Because you are so protective of this child," Cohen interjected.

But you don't meet that many people — I don't — the same age as mine [that are fathers]." "Guess what? I'm an old dad," Cohen added. "I don't meet many guys my age with little kids either." Cohen became a father at 50 when he welcomed his son,Benjamin Allen, 6. He is also the father of his daughter,Lucy Eve, 3. Apa's new movie,The Map That Leads to You, will be released on Aug. 20.
