The Challenge Cutthroat Ep 5 Recap Also available on YouTube. MTV's The Challenge: Cutthroat 2 Episode 5 brings shifting alliances, captaincy drama, and fierce mud-soaked battles, as Brian Cohen and Ali Lasher dive into the season's pivotal developments. With debate swirling over the new captain format and a close look at how team dynamics are changing, the hosts unpack the strategic decisions, and slip-ups, that could redefine the game moving forward. The episode opens with discussion on the impact of the captaincy twist, as longstanding vets debate whether stepping up as captain is worth the risk, especially with limited downside revealed so far. The podcast then explores the new “mutiny” mechanic, examining why an all-or-nothing team vote may fail to shake up the game, and how this restricts both voting and strategy as teams shrink in size. The conversation moves to the daily challenge, highlighting the physical brawl in the mud, the deals and betrayals between teams, and the controversy surrounding Sydney's injury and ensuing blame game. A key part of the discussion centers on fractured friendships, tough captain decisions, and the way loyalty can clash with good gameplay, especially for players like Cory, Nelson, and Keanu. Finally, the co-hosts break down the elimination, analyze which players are most likely to return, and question the strength of each remaining team as the final inches closer. Brian and Ali highlight: Strategic calculus behind volunteer captains and why certain vets opt out How the mutiny twist creates more roadblocks than opportunities for power shifts Tense daily challenge alliances and betrayals, with negotiations among Blue, Gray, and Orange teams Sydney's injury fallout, including house drama and debates over responsibility The impact of Cory and Nelson's friendship on critical elimination decisions As captains rise and fall and alliances get tested, is the current format locking teams into predictable outcomes, or is someone poised to break the mold?

The singles specialist era may have died this weekend. Dreambreakers, lineup decisions, and one jaw-dropping run of 17 straight points exposed what actually wins in MLP playoffs right now: rhythm, confidence, and clutch under pressure. Zane and Nico break down the wildest playoff weekend yet, including the LA Mad Drops' Dreambreaker collapse, Ben Johns' stunning 0-2 day and 17-point skid, and why Sam Parker's spot in the lineup became the center of a bigger debate about whether pure singles skill still matters in team pickleball. They also dig into Dallas Flash's surge, the trade that sent Tyra Black for Danni Townsend, and whether Dallas just proved they won the deal in real time.

The Challenge Cutthroat II Premiere (Eps 1 & 2) Recap Also available on YouTube. The Challenge 42: Cutthroat II returns with a two-episode premiere, and Brian Cohen & Ali Lasher dive right into the action. On Paramount Plus, the game is back after a nine-month break with changes to the format, team dynamics, and a house full of returning favorites and new faces. With big personalities and shifting alliances, questions about strategy, social history, and where loyalties really stand are front and center. Brian and Ali unpack the new twists, starting with a fast-paced team selection challenge through the streets of Bangkok and continuing through tricky team drafts, heated nominations, and behind-the-scenes social politicking. They discuss the evolving strategy as players try to navigate complicated voting rules and a “captain” system that could offer power, or quickly make someone vulnerable. The hosts also explore memorable personal moments, like Cory's “single dad” narrative intersecting with his gameplay, and how outside-the-game relationships and drama inform early alliances. The premiere's competitive dailies, including a dizzying bridge run and a team trivia challenge at dizzying heights, reveal both strengths and cracks in the teams as the stakes ramp up. Anna Leigh, Chris, and Justin step up as initial team captains, but not all are ready for the pressure of strategic deals and shifting alliances Cory's candid confessionals about his relationship status raise eyebrows and impact his connection with Izzy and Nelson's protective moves The new captain structure creates complicated voting and makes second-place teams more vulnerable, sparking debate about fairness and power Drama around challenge performance, including accusations of deliberate sabotage and controversial decision-making during elimination picks Bananas and CT face early risk with the new voting format, while rookies like Deb and Alexis get a chance to prove themselves on the big stage With shifting rules, fractured alliances, and questions about how much pregame social history matters, can these players adapt before the next elimination? How will the permanent teams and mutiny twist shake up power in the house?

Is the best pickleball player in the world sitting on a pro soccer career she never cashed in? Zane Navratil and Nico the Lefty sit down with Clem McAuley, Anna Leigh Waters' former club soccer coach, to find out just how real this "she could've gone pro" storyline actually is. Clem recalls his first training session with a 12-year-old Anna Leigh – a kid who, in his words, practiced like it was a World Cup final. He breaks down her jaw-dropping U15 stat line (46 goals, 31 assists in 38 games) and what it was like building a roster and schedule around one player. Then there's his claim that with six months of real training she'd have top women's soccer teams calling – and inside two years, a shot at the US Women's National Team (USWNT). Zane and Nico debate it themselves before Clem joins: is Anna Leigh Waters a Wilt Chamberlain-style talent dominating a shallower pool, or could her competitiveness and movement translate to any sport she picked up? We went even deeper on thedinkpickleball.com – more from Clem, and insight from AC Delray's Director of Coaching, Anna Leigh's mom Leigh, and former Duke soccer All-American Kaitlyn Kerr. The full story covers her call-up to the Danone Cup, a FIFA-endorsed international football event for youth, along with real interest from the NWSL's Orlando Pride, a recruiting push from UNC, and how soccer almost pulled her away from pickleball for good – plus a soccer stat breakdown and highlight clips.

Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: Joseph Skeate, PhD, an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, discusses his OutSmarting Osteosarcoma funded work (Because of Annaleigh) on next generation dual-CAR gamma delta T cells for the treatment of pediatric osteosarcoma.In this presentation, Dr. Skeate will provide an overview of the next-generation genome engineering strategies deployed for this project and share updates on the development of a gamma-delta chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for treating osteosarcoma. He will describe how the team is combining non-viral transposon insertion of a CAR transgene with targeted gene modification using an Adenine Base Editor to enhance T cell function in the presence of suppressive factors characteristic of osteosarcoma tumors.Dr Joseph Skeate is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the University of Minnesota. He obtained his PhD in Medical Biology from the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine. Following his doctoral work, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Minnesota under the mentorship of Drs Branden Moriarity and Beau Webber. During this time, he developed a hyperactive transposon system and deployed novel genome engineering approaches using Cas9 systems, creating a powerful toolkit for rapid non-viral engineering and preclinical testing of primary human cells. Leveraging his background and expertise in immunology and genome engineering, his lab now focuses on developing next-generation cellular therapies for rare pediatric disease, including osteosarcoma.

As always, it's pickleball analysis you won't hear anywhere else—equal parts hot takes, insider perspective, and chaos.

The community demanded a rematch…and Tice wants revenge. From there, the guys get into all the biggest stories: Lakeland Open Chaos – The now-infamous Roscoe/Hunter match point controversy – Luca Mack's eye-opening semifinal run – Noe's first PPA medal – The 17-point swing that shocked the men's doubles bracket Nationals Recap – Jill Braverman's viral line call – Why a $225K event ran with no replays – PK's first singles title • Global Pickleball Politics – The WPF, GPF, UWPF alphabet soup explained – What a potential merger means for the Olympics – Why governing bodies matter more than people realize Lakers Pickleball Tournament – Yes… the Lakers ran their own pickleball event – Luka Dončić credits pickleball for slimming down – Why NBA players might be the worst body type for dinking • Debate of the Week: If Ben and Anna Leigh were forced to split up in 2026… who wins more mixed titles?

Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 16:7; Malachi 3:16-18; Matthew 7:21-23Mr. Billings opened the door to his shop and stood aside to let his Sunday school class through. "Welcome to my shop!" he said. "As you know, I'm a lapidary--a gem cutter. Look around and see which gems you like best." The kids walked into a glittering world of sparkling jewels in lit cases. Bright instruments gleamed from their places on a work table in the back."Wow! Look at all this cool stuff!" said Bo. The kids looked around for several minutes, pointing out the gems they liked best.After a while, Mr. Billings called them over. "Kids, did you know that God refers to those who trust in Him as His jewels? If you're a Christian, you're one of them--one of His special treasures!""If I'm a jewel, I'd like to be like one of those," said Annaleigh, pointing to a sparkling, clear gem set in a ring."Not me." Bo pointed to a ring with a bigger stone. "I think this one's the best."Mr. Billings took out both rings. "One of these is a real diamond, and the other is a cubic zirconium--a fake. Can you tell which is which?"The kids examined the stones carefully, but they couldn't see any difference. Mr. Billings picked up Bo's choice. "This is the fake," he said. "It's not surprising that both of these look real to you, but I can easily tell the difference because I know jewels." He put the rings back into the case while the children whispered in surprise to each other.When the kids turned their attention back to Mr. Billings, he said, "You know, God knows people even better than I know these jewels. The Bible tells us that while we see only the outside of a person, God sees the heart. He knows which people are truly His--those who know Jesus as their Savior--and which people only look like they're Christians on the outside. One day, God is going to gather all His jewels and take them to be with Him forever. If you're not sure whether you're one of God's jewels, I'd like to talk with you about what Jesus has done so you can know you're His jewel too." –Mary Rose PearsonHow About You?Are you one of God's jewels? Or do you just appear to be a Christian on the outside? Maybe you aren't quite certain. If you're not sure, talk to a trusted Christian in your life who can tell you more about what it means to know Jesus as your Savior. He died for you so you could become a precious child of God and live with Him forever.
