Warning: this article contains potential spoilers for Survivor 50.
Survivor 50 has recently finished filming, and after the returnees season’s completion, one castaway may have accidentally revealed a major spoiler about the outcome of the season. While Survivor 50 won’t air for about a year, the season has just wrapped filming in the show’s Fijian set. While many have been curious about the outcome, one castaway could’ve just spoiled something major.
Colby Donaldson, a veteran of Survivor who’s played the game four times with Survivor 50 under his belt, shared a photo to his Instagram after filming wrapped that showed him looking a lot leaner than he did before the show. Fans were quick to comment on the photo, making it clear they thought his slimmer body meant he’d been on the show longer.
“Looking thinner…you must’ve went far in the game,” commented @suepez, while @michelle_horn15 shared, “Looks skinner.. could be a good sign!” With viewers already invested in Colby’s place in the game, Survivor 50 could prove to be one of the most exciting seasons of the series in years. With an all-star cast of castaways who viewers are happy to see, Survivor 50 has potential.
The worlds of K-pop’s biggest boy band and girl group collided over the weekend, with j-hope of BTS showing support for BLACKPINK by pulling up to the second night of the DEADLINE World Tour on Sunday (July 6).
In a video shared by BillboardKorea on Instagram, j-hope is escorted to his seat at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, South Korea, where ROSÉ, LISA, JENNIE and JISOO played two back-to-back shows to kick off their first full-band trek in two years. Excited fans cheer and snap videos as the boy-band star — looking suave in an open button-down shirt and shades — passes by.
Another clip shows j-hope vibing to music playing over the speakers, making up little dance moves in the stands.
BLACKPINK’s shows in Goyang put an end to a two-year band break, during which the four members focused on solo music (some of which they performed in between full-group numbers over the weekend). It’s possible j-hope attended Night 2 to take notes on his own band’s upcoming reunion, with BTS set to come back together in 2026 now that the members’ respective times in the South Korean military have concluded.
“We’ll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year,” the band announced in a joint statement on July 1. “Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music … We’re also planning a world tour alongside the new album. We’ll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you’re as excited as we are.”
BTS last dropped an album in 2020, with Be topping the Billboard 200 in December that year. Similarly to BLACKPINK, the seven members of the boy band each experimented with solo music during their time apart, with j-hope dropping EP Hope On The Street, Vol.1 in 2024. Most recently, he released singles “Mona Lisa” and “Killin’ It Girl” featuring GloRilla in March and June, respectively.
“After pursuing our own little ventures, we are now coming back together, and I love that for us,” j-hope told Weverse Magazine of BTS’ upcoming reunion in December. “When we’re all back together as a group, it’s going to have a huge impact, and everybody’s going to be watching. I’m excited to see what it’ll feel like when we perform together again. I want to come back in style and say, ‘This is us. This is BTS.’”
On February 9, 2010, Phil Harris died at the age of 53 years old. His final days were documented on Deadliest Catch, which he starred on from Seasons 2 to 6 before his death.
With Deadliest Catch set to return to Discovery next month, scroll down for a refresher on what happened to the captain of the F/V Cornelia Marie.
What happened to Phil Harris?
Harris began the 2010 fishing season with “four crushed disks” in his back, according to his son, Josh Harris. On January 29, 2010, a crew member found Harris on the floor of his room.
“The whole left side of his face was in paralysis, and that was hard,” Josh recalled to People. “He couldn’t move his arms or anything, he was just paralyzed on the floor.” Harris was medevaced to an Anchorage, Alaska, hospital and placed into a medically induced coma for two days.
Harris had a stroke, but seemed to be on the mend after coming out of the coma. Doctors said they were impressed by his rapid improvement. On the day of his death, Harris completed physical therapy and was walking and talking.
However, later that day, he told his best friend, Dan Mittman, “Danny, I don’t feel as good as I did yesterday,” Mittman recalled. He died from an intracranial hemorrhage, which is also known as a brain bleed. Harris was surrounded by his family and close friends at the time of his death.
In which Deadliest Catch episode did Phil Harris have his stroke?
Harris’ stroke happened during Season 6, Episode 10. The aftermath was depicted in the following episodes, as Harris insisted that cameras continue filming. His emotional final conversations with sons Josh and Jake Harris were shown on the Discovery Channel series.
The final episode that Harris was featured in was Season 6, Episode 14, which is titled “Redemption Day.”
What other health issues did Phil Harris have?
In 2008, Harris was thrown out of his bunk on the boat and began coughing up blood. After he was finally convinced to seek medical attention, doctors told him he had suffered a pulmonary embolism.
A pulmonary embolism is “a blood clot that blocks and stops blood flow to an artery in the lung,” according to Mayo Clinic. He spent nearly a year recovering and was unable to go crab fishing during that time. Medical professionals told Harris that the pulmonary embolism could have killed him.
This incident was documented during Season 4 of Deadliest Catch.

Big Mama-the rap queen with a reputation for being ambiguously raw, bold and stand-up-threw Instagram into a firestorm with a public post. In this picture, she was resplendent in apocalypse black, posing in front of the bright yellow luxury sports car. She was dressed head to toe in black leather-the gloves, the boots, the glam urban-chic backdrop to it all. But people were talking about a lot more than just the outfit. The caption, “Nigga horses don’t stop they keep going,” spawned a whole series of reactions, with some fans correcting the phrase into the more familiar “hustlers don’t stop” from the hip-hop argot.

Adrenaline filled comment boxes with admiration, humorous jabs, and lighthearted teasing. One person joked about that now infamous cheetah print underwear peeking out, dubbing it Big Mama’s “trademark.” Some commented that they were “tired of the panties,” and others shot back all with love: “baddest in the game right now.” The debate on whether she actually meant “horses” or “hustlers” actually birthed a small thread, with one person stating, “It’s hustlers… hustlers don’t stop they keep going,” then followed by replies like, “I thought I was the only one that seen that.”
The most entertaining moment came when an incognito somebody just casually slipped the sweetest, “Let’s go on a date,” right into the comments, only to see their words fall flat as the whole table turned on them. The majority were dismissive: “bro u nor de taya” (translation: “bro, you never get tired” in Nigerian Pidgin), while a select few went full roast: “is your grandma aware?” This turned out to be one of the liveliest moments in the thread-the perfect backdrop in showcasing just how engaged and candid Big Mama’s follies are.
During the mayhem, other fans lifted the music to the rafters, some dropping lyrics from an unreleased song or freestyle to reassert the entire hustler spirit Big Mama actually stands for. Others were just sipping on her vibe: “so cool,” and “gorgeous.” Though seemingly simple, the post is an accurate depiction of Big Mama full-blast: commanding the audience-maybe all in through fashion, lyrics, or an ambiguous caption. One thing that seems clear is that Herb fans will back her through thick and thin, cheetah print panties and all.

This post also highlights Big Mama’s ability to engage her audience, leading to rapid sellouts and excitement surrounding her shows, evidenced by her upcoming concerts.
The lawsuit between Leah McSweeney and Bravo is taking another turn. A new report suggests that Bravo’s lawyers are pushing for private hearings in their case with the former Real Housewives of New York cast member. Of course, Leah’s lawyers argue that this is just another example of the network’s shady behavior, but it’s a bit more complicated than that.

To understand this story, you’ve got to go all the way back to the beginning. In 2024, Leah filed a massive lawsuit against Bravo. She claimed that Andy Cohen and the producers pressured her to drink and exploited her substance abuse issues on RHONY and Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Her lawsuit also claimed that Andy sexually harassed her by asking about her “boob job.”
According to court documents reviewed by Page Six, Bravo tried to enforce a point in Leah’s Housewives contract that said that any disagreements needed to be handled via private arbitration. However, a superseding law says sexual harassment claims must be heard in court.
Earlier this year, a judge ruled that Leah’s case could move ahead to trial. In that process, he dismissed chunks of Leah’s lawsuit. That included her claims of sexual harassment. With that in mind, Bravo’s lawyers hope to revisit their original point. They believe the court should enforce Leah’s RHONY contract, thus meaning this would be handled via arbitration.
If Bravo’s lawyers succeed, it would prevent Leah’s lawyers from digging up dirt on the network. It would also spare network executives from having to go to court and issue under oath statements on the case.
For obvious reasons, Leah’s team doesn’t feel thrilled about this move from Bravo. Their goal is to expose Bravo, and they can’t do that if the hearings remain private. Her attorney, Gary Adelman, said in a statement that it’s the public’s “right to know” how Leah was allegedly mistreated. They want to move ahead with full visibility.
“It comes as no surprise that [Bravo’s lawyers] are once again trying to unnecessarily delay the matter by trying to move the case to [arbitration],” Gary said. “They think that this maneuver will shield the damaging evidence that, we believe, will be forthcoming as the case proceeds.”
It’s no secret that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock has been one of the best market performers of all time.
Up around 72,300% in 20 years, it has made patient, long-term shareholders an absolute fortune. And founder Jensen Huang one of the world’s richest people!
Naturally, it will be a tall order for other stocks to repeat such eye-popping returns over the next two decades. But at any point in time, there are shares hiding in plain sight that go on to become 10-baggers, or even 100-baggers.
In other words, the stock grows 10 or 100 times in value!
Where might these potential fortune-makers be? Let’s turn to an investment fund that backed Nvidia many years ago to see what its managers think.
Searching for outliers
Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust (LSE: SMT) is a FTSE 100 firm that spends much of its time hunting for the next Nvidia. It first invested in the AI chipmaker back in 2016, and has since made over 80 times its money on that position.

Note, these calculations only go up to 31 March. Since then, Nvidia’s share price has jumped 47%, meaning the return would now be over 100 times.
However, Scottish Mortgage has been reducing its Nvidia position this year. Manager Tom Slater explains: “A world built on $70,000 chips and 60% margins isn’t likely to endure. So we reduced our position, not because we admire the company any less, but because we’re disciplined. We look for asymmetric outcomes, and at a $3.5trn valuation it’s much harder to make exceptional returns.”
This points to a risk that Nvidia’s pricing power — and therefore margins — might come under pressure in the years ahead. While these are valid concerns, it’s also worth noting that Scottish Mortgage hasn’t sold its entire Nvidia holding.
The company’s products are also applicable to massive adjacent growth markets, particularly self-driving cars and humanoid robots. But the reduction suggests the managers see lower returns ahead due to Nvidia’s juggernaut stature.
The next generation of winners?
So, what else is Scottish Mortgage backing today? Well, some holdings, including SpaceX and Stripe, are still unlisted. So investors can’t buy shares of those yet.
Recently, it’s been loading up on Meta Platforms and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC). But with their already enormous market caps, these aren’t exactly what I’d call hidden gems.
In the table below then are 10 growth stocks that are in the top 30 holdings, each with market caps below $100bn. In other words, they’re not already tech mega-caps, and Scottish Mortgage appears to have strong conviction in their growth prospects.

Foolish takeaway
Of course, there’s no guarantee that these will prove to be the next big winners. Most are investing heavily for growth and therefore not optimised for profits. Some may remain loss-making forever.
Meanwhile, the Scottish Mortgage team might fail to identify the next generation of outliers, which would damage investor confidence in its strategy.
However, I feel these stocks can be used as a springboard for further research. If any succeed wildly, they have the potential to make patient growth investors a lot of money.
Alternatively, more risk-averse investors could consider Scottish Mortgage shares.
UCLA and UC Berkeley can’t seem to agree. In fact, they refuse to back down from a top spot.
When U.S. News and World Report released its global rankings last month, Cal was the first public university to appear on the list — even though it was technically ranked No. 6 — behind five private campuses, including Harvard, MIT and Stanford.
But being the top public university to pop up on the global list was enough for Berkeley, leading to an avalanche of social media boasts for the oldest UC campus.
“#1 public” UC Berkeley posted on its Instagram and TikTok accounts, with a photo of Oski the Bear and the hashtag “#HolyAirBall,” a reference to a meme about severely underestimating someone’s talent or accomplishments.
Not to be usurped, UCLA within days began posting on its own socials: “Still #1,” it said, citing another U.S. News national ranking of public universities that came out nine months ago and put the Bruins as the top public campus in the nation.
Fans and alumni of both schools have been sparring ever since.

“Wow, UCLA really takes these rankings very seriously,” wrote a user on the Berkeley Reddit community.
Berkeley fans have flooded UCLA’s Instagram, with GIFs of Oski the Bear dancing.
“Lol UCLA and Berkeley both posting they’re #1,” commented an Instagram follower who has degrees from both campuses.
“UCLA #1 in national rankings — the one that actually matters 😇” said one of the most-liked comments on Berkeley’s TikTok post about its rank.
“Meh. UCLA all day every day,” went a TikTok comment, while another made an observation: “Damn, so many insecure UCLA trolls here in the comments freaking out.”
The UC Berkeley Chancellor, Rich Lyons, has even chimed in.
“We admire UCLA’s eagerness to take a single ranking for its undergraduate program and use it for all it is worth,” Lyons, a 1982 Berkeley alumnus, said to The Times. “We know how challenging a sibling rivalry can be for the younger sibling. Go Bears (and Bruins).”
Mary Osako, a 1996 UCLA alumna and the school’s Vice Chancellor of Strategic Communications, shot back, citing the campus ranking as the top public on the U.S. News national list for multiple years.
“Bruins everywhere love celebrating our No. 1 ranking — we’ve been diligently doing so for eight years, but who’s counting?” she said. “Our playful banter may have ruffled a few (golden) feathers. UCLA and Cal are both top public universities that are changing the world for the better. Bruin or Bear, we can all be proud of that.”

But what gives? Is there really a No. 1?
The U.S. News and World Report rankings differ in methodology and scope. The global list, which looked at 2,250 institutions — private and public — focused on academic research, including citations, and regional reputation. It’s supposed to be an overall assessment that isn’t based on graduate or undergraduate programs alone.
On the global list, UCLA ranked as the third-best public university in the country. University of Washington in Seattle was the No. 2 public school.
The national list of public colleges and universities zeroed in on the undergraduate experience at 1,500 campuses, weighing areas including graduation rates, first-year retention, how well students from lower-income families perform and the results of “peer assessment” surveys sent to college presidents, provosts and deans of admissions.
On that tally, Berkeley took second place behind UCLA. The two rivals have been neck and neck for several years, including a #1 tie in 2023.
The rankings are popular — many campuses in the country covet the lists — and controversial.
Over the years, several prominent professional schools have pulled out of providing data to the the U.S. News law school rankings. In 2022, UCLA and UC Irvine law school deans said they’d boycott the rankings because of the group’s methodology, which they said disincentivized students who embarked on public service careers. That year, former U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said undergraduate rankings were a “joke” because they push schools to game the system.
There’s also a competing world of list-makers. Some of the most popular ones: Wall Street Journal’s “best colleges,” Forbes’ “America’s top colleges,” and for international rankings, Times Higher Education and QS “world university rankings.”
“There are many rankings, each has a slightly different focus, and each with its own source of noise,” said UC Berkeley Chancellor Lyons, who carries a rankings table in his coat pocket that shows Berkeley’s scores. “The more robust picture is a weighted average across them.”

In the business of college ranking services — which are themselves vying to carve out popular niches — both UCs tend to fare pretty well, though Berkeley does beat Westwood overall.
On the Wall Street Journal list, Berkeley is No. 8 while UCLA is No. 68. The Journal accounts strongly for estimates of how much attending a certain school will affect a graduate’s salary.
Forbes puts the Bears at No. 5 and Bruins at No. 13. Forbes list heavily weighs whether a school’s alumni appear on a “Forbes American Leaders” list.
On the QS tally, Cal is No. 17, while UCLA is No. 46. The Times Higher Education and QS rankings, which have an international angle, look closely at academic research.
Soubhik Barari, a research methodologist at NORC at the University of Chicago, has studied college rankings and co-wrote a 61-page paper last year analyzing the major college lists.
What he found is that none are perfect. Many change how they much they weigh different factors or what they look at from year-to-year. They often don’t account for uncertainty or margin or error, he said.
“So many people pay attention to these college rankings,” said Barari. “It’s not always clear what they are measuring. Are you measuring the best college for the average college student? Are you measuring it based on other factors that you think are important for higher education? Are you looking at the median college student? Are you looking at domestic students or international students?”
Barari, a Tufts University undergrad alum with graduate degrees from Harvard, steered clear of taking a side in the UC rivalry.
The Bruins vs. Bears competition seems nowhere near its end, with the ranking brags continuing on social media and campus websites.
When UCLA posted on TikTok recently about its No. 1 spot, the most-liked comment said, “NOT number 1 🤣 🤣.”
The second-most liked comment? “I thought #1 was Berkeley.”
When Berkeley made a similar post to its TikTok, responses came in from the other direction.
“Love the confidence but no ❤️.”
“That’s awesome! What about the #2 you guys posted on ur Instagram 😉. 8 years straight baby,” said an obvious UCLA lover, referring to an older Berkeley post about being the No. 2 public on the U.S. News national list.
Still, the charts — and stacks of applications — show that both campuses are desirable places to land.
The two schools also share a lot more in common than they let on.
Hailey Bieber and Rhode are upgrading summer glamour with the drop of Lemontini. It’s the brand’s latest limited-edition Peptide Lip Tint designed to tastefully disrupt your beach bag essentials.
Rhode Lemontini Drop
Inspired by citrus cocktails and golden hour glow, Lemontini is sheer, glossy, and unapologetically flirty. But it’s Hailey’s styling that has beauty insiders talking: the tint made its debut slung from her bikini in a custom Rhode belly chain, instantly igniting accessory envy.
The gloss itself is a sensorial treat. Think: zesty lemon scent, cushiony shine, and a finish that says, I vacation on islands. It’s also Rhode’s first product to showcase its newly upgraded formula. It’s swapping out traditional shea butter for a liquid version that glides like silk. The result? Maximum hydration without stickiness.
Of course, luxe upgrades come at a cost. Lemontini is priced at $20, a modest bump from the brand’s original $18 tints. But for a formula this smooth, and a shade this seasonally spot-on, it feels less like a splurge and more like a necessity.
Lemontini officially launches July 14, but the waitlist is already buzzing.

Artificial intelligence is set to revolutionise warfare. With the help of its algorithms, armies can exponentially increase their capacity for analysis and precision targeting. In military circles, some describe defence AI as a game changer comparable to the invention of the atomic bomb. Between major powers such as the US, China and Russia, an “intelligent arms” race is already on. France, not wishing to be left behind, plans to invest €2 billion in defence AI by 2030. In this exclusive report, FRANCE 24’s Elena Volochine met some of the French forces learning how to use this technology, as well as the engineers developing them and the top officials working on a framework for them to operate in.
