The United States men’s national soccer team won 3-0 against Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal on Thursday. But the game was ended before the conclusion of second-half stoppage time by the referee, Ivan Barton, due to anti-lgbtq chanting from the crowd in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Barton had already given out four red cards and had previously stopped the game in the 89th minute because of the anti-lgbtq chanting. The game was restarted, but with four minutes left in stoppage time, he blew the final whistle after the U.S. goalkeeper Matt Turner was subjected to anti-lgbtq chanting again.

Concacaf, FIFA’s governing body for North America, Central America and the Caribbean, said in a statement on Friday that it “condemns the discriminatory chanting.” The organization later commented that the chants led to the...

Liam Neeson leads the Retribution cast with famous child actors, award-winning Broadway stars, and an ‘80s icon in supporting roles. This is the latest in a long line of action movies starring Neeson. A remake of the 2015 Spanish thriller El Desconocido, Retribution revolves around a banker who gets into his car with his kids and learns that the car has been rigged with bombs that will explode if anyone leaves their seat or the car is stopped. The mysterious assailant, who calls the banker on a phone he left in the car, will deactivate the bombs if he transfers a large sum of money into his account.

Set to be released on VOD on August 24, the Hollywood remake of Retribution is directed by Nimród Antal, the filmmaker behind Predators, Metallica: Through the Never, and two episodes of Stranger Things. The screenplay for the remake, adapted from Alberto Marini’s original script,...

Big Brother odds about who will win America’s Favorite Houseguest this summer indicate some clear favorites.

The oddsmakers don’t always get it right, but there are clearly a few people who stand out from the rest when it comes to the possibility of them winning Afh this time.

The clear favorites are Taylor Hale, Michael Bruner, Matthew Turner, and Joseph Abdin. Monte Taylor has also become more popular, but his troubling behavior toward Taylor at the start of the season puts him in a tough spot.

Michael had been the clear favorite to win Big Brother 24, especially when he was racking up challenge wins. But when Turner and Monte saw the opportunity to take him out, they couldn’t pass it up.

Now, Michael resides in the jury house, but his popularity also took a...

Big Brother 24 spoilers from the live feeds reveal that the final three houseguests have been decided.

Even though we are still a few days from the official Eviction Ceremony, the lines have been drawn, and the big decisions have been made.

Right after Alyssa Snider got evicted from the Big Brother house, Taylor Hale became the new Head of Household.

With the power in her hands, Taylor nominated Brittany Hoopes and Matt Turner for eviction. This made the road ahead much easier for Monte Taylor.

At the Veto Competition, everyone got to play, with all four houseguests knowing how important it would be to emerge with a victory. When Monte won the Power of Veto, he secured his own spot in the final three.

This left Turner and Brittany on the block with no further...

The Big Brother schedule for this week isn’t a typical one for fans, with no Wednesday night installment and the big season finale coming up.

We are heading into the final week of the competition, and the episodes will feature the final four as they work down to the final three of the BB24 cast.

Someone in this group is going to be leaving the Big Brother house with a nice 750,000 prize, and there are likely to be a number of disappointed people based on the results.

The playing field seems level after Michael Bruner got evicted, meaning we might end up with an unpredictable finale.

Monte Taylor, Brittany Hoopes, Matt Turner, and Taylor Hale constitute the final four within the Big Brother 24 cast. Taylor became the final four Hoh, giving her an automatic spot in the final three.

Big Brother 24 exit interviews for Alyssa Snider have been coming out following her eviction from the house.

This summer, Alyssa finished in fifth place as a member of the BB24 cast, but we will all see her again on finale night.

Some of the answers that Alyssa has been giving to questions asked of her have been a bit suspect, including her claim that Joseph Abdin fed her a false narrative about Taylor Hale that led to Alyssa not liking Taylor.

Of course, Alyssa also addressed her Big Brother 24 showmance with Kyle Capener, as well as how she views Brittany Hoopes now that she has spent more time with her in the house.

One very noteworthy statement that Alyssa made is that she hopes it will be Brittany and Taylor who...

The Big Brother 24 live feeds have been busy, and for fans of Taylor Hale, it has been very entertaining since she won the latest Head of Household Competition.

Taylor definitely likes being in power, but before she even got her Hoh Room, it was revealed that she had to put two people on the block for eviction.

With only three choices on hand, here are the BB24 spoilers about who Taylor nominated for eviction. And for Big Brother fans who really want to jump ahead, here is who won the early Power of Veto this week.

Those particular spoilers weren’t the only events taking place in the Big Brother house over the past 36+ hours, as the final four houseguests have been providing producers with a lot of footage for the upcoming episodes.

Regarding the episodes on CBS,...

Big Brother 24 spoilers now reveal who won the Veto Competition that took place early on Friday.

The BB24 cast is playing a sped-up week in order to get down to the final three houseguests, leading to an early Power of Veto winner being revealed.

On Thursday night (September 15), Taylor Hale won the Hoh Competition after Alyssa Snider was sent packing.

Faced with a difficult decision, Taylor then nominated Brittany Hoopes and Matt Turner for eviction.

This wasn’t too surprising, especially with how close Taylor has become to Monte Taylor, but it also drew some lines in the sand.

Early on Friday morning (September 16), the final four houseguests then took part in an important Veto Competition.

Who won the Big Brother 24 Power of Veto today?

Monte just won the Power of Veto, giving him...

Big Brother 24 spoilers are already revealing the Week 11 nominations for eviction.

Even though Alyssa Snider just got evicted on Thursday night, we now know who the new Hoh has put on the block.

This is going to be an abridged week for the show, with a lot of pre-taping in order to get everything completed for the season finale.

And for any Big Brother fans who may not have realized it yet, the BB24 episode schedule comes to a close on September 25.

Taylor Hale, who won a fashion-oriented Head of Household Competition before the latest episode came to a close, was quickly tasked with naming two people to be on the block.

There weren’t a lot of choices, with the final four houseguests being Taylor, Monte Taylor, Matt Turner, and Brittany Hoopes.

Who did Taylor nominate for eviction?...

The Big Brother 24 season got down to its final four houseguests on Thursday night, with another person getting sent to the BB24 jury house.

Monte Taylor, Brittany Hoopes, Alyssa Snider, Taylor Hale, and Matt Turner made up the final five, but it was time to evict one of them.

On the block for the September 15 episode of Big Brother 24 were Taylor and Alyssa, and the people deciding on their fate were Turner and Brittany.

To complicate matters, a Taylor and Monte showmance surfaced over the past week, with live feed subscribers seeing as their friendship turned into something more.

Things almost got very interesting as Brittany worked up a BB24 blindside, but her plans fell apart pretty quickly.

Now, the producers are going to get some good footage when the latest evicted houseguest makes her...

Big Brother 24 spoilers about the September 15 Eviction Ceremony point to who is getting voted out next.

Monte Taylor controlled the house this week, setting his sights on possibly getting Brittany Hoopes out of the game.

When Brittany won the Power of Veto, though, it became slightly more complicated for Monte.

Heading into the Eviction Ceremony, it is Taylor Hale and Alyssa Snider on the block, with one of them about to become the next member of the BB24 jury.

Things got really messy in the house when Brittany tried to pull off a blindside and ensure that Taylor was the one to get evicted.

Brittany’s plan was to convince Matt Turner to toss Alyssa a sympathy vote by voting out Taylor. Then, Brittany would also secretly vote for Taylor, making it a 2-0 vote and thus saving Alyssa.

Big Brother 24 spoilers from the live feeds have made it pretty clear who the next member of the jury is going to be for this cast.

The final five houseguests have had several chats that make it obvious who is going to get voted out, even though the official Eviction Ceremony doesn’t take place until Thursday evening (September 15).

For some quick background, Monte Taylor is the Week 10 Head of Household and he nominated Brittany Hoopes and Alyssa Snider for eviction.

Over the weekend, Monte got disqualified from the Veto Competition, taking him out of the running for an important Power of Veto win.

When Brittany won the Power of Veto, it gave her the chance to save her own game, which is exactly what she did at the Veto Meeting.

Forced with naming a replacement nominee,...

Big Brother fans watching the live feeds on Tuesday morning saw what might be the latest showmance to emerge from the BB24 cast.

And much like when Tyler Crispen and Angela Rummans started their relationship in the Big Brother 20 house, this one will have to be kept under wraps.

After cuddling a bit in the Head of Household bed, Monte Taylor and Taylor Hale had a kissing session while the cameras watched.

It isn’t too surprising that the flirting between Monte and Taylor has led to this point, and with how much they have been hanging out together as part of the final five, it could have been a predicted outcome.

Will this showmance evolve into more than just two attractive houseguests having fun together? We will all have to stay tuned to find out.

Big Brother 24 spoilers now reveal what just took place at the Week 10 Veto Meeting.

Monte Taylor has been the Head of Household for Week 10, giving him the power to try to dictate who else would make it to the final four with him.

At his Nomination Ceremony, Monte put Alyssa Snider and Brittany Hoopes on the block, making it the second straight time the ladies have been on the block.

And also, for the second straight time, one of the ladies came off the block, making the job of the Hoh a little more difficult this time around.

Brittany won the Power of Veto, doing so after one of the BB24 houseguests got disqualified from the competition.

Heading into the Veto Meeting, Monte knew that he would have to name a replacement nominee, but what would he...

Big Brother 24, Episode 26 arrives on Sunday night, providing CBS viewers with a lot of important moments.

On the last episode of the show, Kyle Capener was evicted on a unanimous vote. He became the fourth member of the BB24 jury.

Now, it’s time for the CBS audience to find out what happened with that Hoh Competition and who wound up on the block to start out Week 9 of the Summer 2022 season.

There are just seven people left competing for the 750,000 prize, and they are Brittany Hoopes, Taylor Hale, Michael Bruner, Monte Taylor, Alyssa Snider, Matt Turner, and Terrance Higgins.

We don’t have too many episodes left until the big season finale, but here is a breakdown of the TV schedule for the BB24 cast.

One thing to keep in mind about the...

Big Brother 24 spoilers from the Week 9 Veto Competition were just made available through the live feeds.

With the Power of Veto on the line today, the remaining members of the BB24 cast took part in the annual Bb Comics challenge.

Matt Turner had to sit this one out as the other six houseguests took part in the game. That was the result of Terrance Higgins picking Taylor Hale to play instead of Turner.

Backtracking a bit, Michael Bruner is the Week 9 Head of Household after he won that puzzle challenge on Thursday night (September 1).

At his Nomination Ceremony, Michael decided to put Terrance and Alyssa Snider on the block. Some Big Brother fans might see those as the obvious and predictable nominations, but Terrance did not.

On the live feeds, Terrance could be seen...

This update from the Big Brother live feeds explores statements and veiled threats made by one of the nominees against the current Head of Household.

Expect to read quite a few of the latest BB24 spoilers in this article, as this information is coming directly from the live feeds.

Michael Bruner won Head of Household again, and then he nominated Terrance Higgins and Alyssa Snider for eviction. Terrance did not take it well.

It seems like Terrance expected to be protected from going on the block this week, even while he was working hard to try to get Michael evicted next.

After voicing that he is not going to vote for Michael if the current Hoh makes it to the final two, Terrance went a step further by going to Michael and telling him what...

Big Brother 24 evicted Kyle Capener on Thursday night, sending him to become the latest member of the jury.

It was by a 5-0 vote that Kyle got evicted, with even his former showmance partner, Alyssa Snider, voting against him.

A pretty chaotic and emotional episode for Kyle played out as he got backdoored by Hoh Matt Turner to wrap up the week.

We will get to see Kyle again on finale night when he places on a vote on who should win Big Brother 24. Ahead of that happening, the show released some BB24 jury photos and videos.

Now, Kyle has the time to do exit interviews about his time on the show, and Kyle has a lot of opinions about his experience.

For readers who want to jump ahead, here are the spoilers about who won the Hoh puzzle competition.

Big Brother live feed spoilers now reveal the results of the puzzle challenge that decided the new Head of Household.

Earlier on Thursday evening (September 1), Kyle Capener was evicted on a unanimous 5-0 vote. He officially became the fourth member of the BB24 jury.

During the latest episode, the Hoh Competition got started, with six people trying to complete a puzzle to become the new boss of the house.

Matt Turner had to watch while Michael Bruner, Brittany Hoopes, Taylor Hale, Monte Taylor, Terrance Higgins, and Alyssa Snider went at it on the puzzles.

The puzzles weren’t completed before Julie Chen Moonves closed out the episode, and the results won’t be shown until the September 4 installment.

Luckily, the Big Brother live feeds are already turned back on and we now know the Week 9 Head of Household.

Big Brother 24 has a new member of the jury and is working toward a new Head of Household, following a very dramatic episode of the show.

On Thursday night (September 1), a lot of the new episode revolved around Kyle Capener and comments that he made earlier in the season, but they also had some business to attend to.

After Michael Bruner won the Power of Veto again, he used it at the Veto Meeting to save Brittany Hoopes from the block. That forced Turner to name a replacement nominee who would sit next to Taylor Hale.

Turner put Kyle on the block, meaning the Eviction Ceremony would force the five voters to decide on the next member of the BB24 jury being either Kyle or Taylor.

A House Meeting did seem to nudge Turner in a...

Big Brother 24 spoilers about who is going to become the fourth member of the BB24 jury became noticeable on the live feeds.

Matt Turner won the Week 8 Head of Household Competition, and his final nominees for the week were Kyle Capener and Taylor Hale.

Michael Bruner was Turner’s primary target, but Michael won another Power of Veto. He then used the Pov to save Brittany Hoopes from the block.

At the Veto Meeting, Turner put Kyle up on the block as the replacement nominee, but it seems like he would still prefer Taylor to be the one heading to the jury house next.

With just eight people left in the game, it means five voters will determine whether it is Taylor or Kyle joining Jasmine Davis, Indy Santos, and Joseph Abdin in the jury house.

Big Brother 24 spoilers reveal what just happened at the Week 8 Veto Meeting. And these results could be shocking for television viewers.

It will be a drama-filled few days as we march toward the next Eviction Ceremony, especially due to Matt Turner’s choices.

Turner became the Week 8 Head of Household after everyone was reunited indoors and got right to work with possibly making a huge game move.

Turner nominated Brittany Hoopes and Taylor Hale for eviction, all while talking about using Michael Bruner as a backdoor option in order to send the new Veto King packing.

But the plans of the Hoh don’t always turn out as they hoped, and a difficult result for Turner took place at the Veto Competition.

Again, Michael won the Power of Veto, giving him safety and the chance to take one...

Big Brother 24 spoilers about the Week 8 Power of Veto just came out on the live feeds.

On Saturday (August 27), the BB24 cast played in the latest Veto Competition, determining who would be leading the Veto Meeting that takes place on Monday (August 29).

Back at the Double Eviction, it was Joseph Abdin and Jasmine Davis who got evicted. They were both caught in numerous lies about their alliances and how they played the game, leading to unanimous votes from inside the house and from the backyard.

Then, Matt Turner won the overnight Hoh Competition, putting him in a powerful position right after the two groups reunited under one roof. Turner had the chance to re-shape the game how he wanted it to look at the final seven.

Turner had to host a Nomination Ceremony on Friday (August 26), forcing him...

Big Brother 24 spoilers coming from the live feeds reveal who the new Head of Household has nominated for eviction.

On the latest episode of the show, Jasmine Davis and Joseph Abdin got evicted. The Double Eviction also brought an end to the Split House twist, allowing everyone to live under one roof again.

Once the dust had settled and the backyard group was able to enter the house again, the final eight houseguests played in an important Head of Household Competition.

It was Matt Turner who became the new Hoh, giving him power in a week where he might have been better off not being the one in charge. This is forcing Turner to pick a side, and he can no longer hang out in the middle.

On Friday (August 26), Turner hosted a Nomination Ceremony where he...

A new Big Brother 24 Head of Household has taken charge of the final eight houseguests.

Earlier in the night, Jasmine Davis and Joseph Abdin fell in the Double Eviction episode.

Michael Bruner and Terrance Higgins were the outgoing HOHs, and they had to watch Brittany Hoopes, Taylor Hale, Kyle Capener, Alyssa Snider, Matt Turner, and Monte Taylor play in the new Head of Household Competition.

Alyssa knew that she was on the outside of everything during the challenge. If she or Kyle didn’t win Hoh and gain some automatic safety, it meant that one or both of them could wind up on the block very soon.

The results of the Week 8 Hoh Competition could also dictate whether or not The Leftovers would survive as an alliance. Something different could very easily be on the horizon.

The Big Brother Double Eviction brought a lot of excitement. Julie Chen Moonves and an in-studio audience ushered two people to the BB24 jury house.

The show’s latest installment was Big Brother 24, Episode 22, and it was a one-hour presentation that took the cast down to just eight surviving members.

One of the takeaways that some fans might have is that Jasmine Davis was playing up a fake limp to gain sympathy (again).

This is one of the reasons that several Big Brother fans have turned on Jasmine this summer and have become frustrated with how she was playing the game.

Recently, the term “JasMean” was even trending on social media, along with a lot of complaints from viewers about how Jasmine was playing up her “birthday month” to get special treatment.

But back to the Double Eviction, which...

Fans wanting to know who is going home on Big Brother tonight should first understand that the evictees are now heading to the jury house instead of straight home.

Beginning with the eviction of Indy Santos, the BB24 jury has started forming. Indy is now waiting at the jury house for two new people to arrive this weekend.

During the August 25 episode of the show, two people are going to get evicted from the Big Brother house. This will consist of one person who has been living inside of the house, and one person who has been residing in the backyard.

Inside, Michael Bruner is the Head of Household and his final nominees for the week are Jasmine Davis and Monte Taylor. That’s exactly how he wanted the week to end.

Out in the backyard,...

The Big Brother live feeds returned for the outside group (Dyre Fest), leading to a lot of revelations over the past few days.

Ahead of the Double Eviction episode of Big Brother 24, many important conversations have taken place that will impact the game moving forward.

Inside the house, Jasmine Davis was told she is getting evicted. Jasmine will join Indy Santos in the BB24 jury house very soon.

Jasmine did have an interesting request of Michael Bruner, Brittany Hoopes, and Taylor Hale. She asked them to make sure that Matt Turner does not end up as the Big Brother 24 winner.

The comments from Jasmine about Turner are sure to be part of another show segment where the producers show Turner reacting to the words or actions from Jasmine.

And now that Jasmine knows she is on her way out,...

Big Brother 24 returns with an important episode on the night of Wednesday, August 24.

The BB24 cast has been split into two groups, forcing one group of five people to live in the backyard for the week.

Michael Bruner is the inside (Big BroChella Festival) Hoh, and Terrance Higgins is the outside (Dyre Festival) Hoh.

As a reminder, during the last episode, the HOHs took turns picking who would be in their groups. Michael picked Jasmine Davis, Brittany Hoopes, Taylor Hale, and Monte Taylor.

For the backyard group, Terrance picked Matt Turner, Alyssa Snider, Joseph Abdin, and Kyle Capener. This was also the order that the players were selected by their respective Hoh.

At their respective Nomination Ceremonies, Michael put Jasmine and Monte on the block, while Terrance put Turner and Joseph on the block. Monte had volunteered to go up as a pawn,...

Big Brother 24 spoilers about that backyard Veto Meeting may have just been released.

For quite a while, the Big Brother live feeds for Dyre Fest have been down, leaving subscribers a bit miffed about missing so much of the game.

The house was split into two groups, with one group of five people living inside and playing one game (BroChella), and the other group getting sent to the backyard to live for the week (Dyre Fest).

Something happened on Saturday (August 20) that led to the live feeds getting turned off for the people in the backyard, meaning the normal revelation of what happened at the Veto Meeting didn’t become public.

Now, some intriguing Big Brother spoilers may reveal that something surprising happened at the Dyre Fest Veto Meeting, suggesting the plans of the Hoh have changed.
