Bi Pham looked like a serious threat to win Project Runway Season 22 Episode 9 after sending a dramatic black bridal look and matching after-party outfit down the runway.

Taylor Frankie Paul returned to ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ with a spoiler from a season of television viewers may never get to watch: she left ‘The Bachelorette’ engaged. The man widely identified as her final choice is Doug Mason, a California lifeguard and surfer who proposed during filming. Season 5 confirms that Taylor…
‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Season 5 does not finish by repairing MomTok. It does almost the opposite. By the time the women gather at Jessi Draper’s housewarming party in “The Book of Destruction,” several friendships have reached the point where old arguments can no longer be dismissed as ordinary group drama. Jessi is…
Nero Buys‘ departure from ‘Alone: World Championship’ is surprising precisely because there is no dramatic disaster behind it.

For Peter Egede, reaching the MasterChef finale represents more than success on a cooking show. Before Season 16, the Nigerian-American home cook had spent years building a corporate career, only to lose his job and make the difficult decision that he did not want his next chapter to look like the previous one. Peter entered…
Jake Kelley entered MasterChef: Global Gauntlet as a self-taught home cook who was still deciding whether food could become more than a serious passion.

The 24-year-old Michigan native defeated Heidi Muston and Peter Egede in the Season 16 finale, winning the MasterChef trophy and $250,000 after presenting…
Heidi Muston entered MasterChef: Global Gauntlet with an advantage that had nothing to do with professional culinary training.
