The Fortune Hotel's Fred and Min have stolen the show: here's everything you need to know about the couple
The Fortune Hotel season 2 has returned to ITVX with a bang and we are lapping it up. The gameshow, which fans have likened to The Traitors and The White Lotus, jets contestants off to the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada (sign us up!). 10 pairs checked into the glamorous Fortune Hotel for a rollercoaster of challenges, alliances and poker faces. Each couple acquired a briefcase, with one containing the mighty prize of £250,000 and another with a not-so-fortunate 'early checkout' card, signaling elimination. From business partners to mother-and-son duos, one partnership has come out on top… but not from their own doing. Fred and Min were completely puzzled by the first race to complete a crossword and find a clue… leaving them in last place. But in some strange twist of fortune, they sneakily ended up with the £250,000 briefcase that evening! But what do we know about Fred and Min? The retired life partners are 60 and 59-years-old. They live together in Blackpool, Lancashire. They are currently the only retired contestants, as ex-police officer John was knocked out of the competition when he received the early checkout case in episode 2. Their game plan? 'Bluff them, blag them and fake it til you make it! It was our last hurrah!" Fred said. Well, their plan is certainly working so far… When asked by Media Mole how they would spend the prize money, they weren't in agreement. Fred said, 'Wisely!', while Min said, 'Unwisely! We need a new van, so it would go on that.'

How to get a Jimmy Buffett getaway if you're planning a trip to the Florida Keys
Summer is about over, except for one last getaway. Labor Day holiday weekend. Need a distinctly Floridian thing to do for that Aug. 29-Sept. 1 weekend? Retracing Jimmy Buffett's steps in Key West where the late troubadour began his musical career nearly 55 years ago to a soundtrack of his music could be the last blast of summer fun before fall studies and the height of hurricane season take over. MORE: 'The longevity of mischief.' Jimmy Buffett looks at 50 years after his first Key West gig Key West hosts its second annual Buffett-themed 'Just a Few Friends: Key West Favorite Son Celebration' with a four-day schedule of events, many of them free. The idea: 'remembrance with revelry,' organizers say. The son of a son of a sailor died two years ago on Sept. 1, 2023, after battling Merkel Cell Skin Cancer for four years. Highlights include a walking tour that takes in the streets and bars and personas Buffett immortalized in his songs; a memorial parade down Duval Street featuring Buffett's music and a party in Truman Park near the water. That party features some musicians, vocalists and songwriters playing songs you — and they — know by heart. They would be familiar with this material. Some of these people, including vocalist Nadirah Shakoor, former 1970s Coral Reefer guitarist Roger Bartlett, and composer Will Kimbrough, who co-wrote Buffett's posthumously released 'Bubbles Up,' toured with Buffett. "This is about more than music," co-organizer Paul Menta said in a statement. "We honor Jimmy's memory by immersing people in the island he loved — the people, the history, the sunsets, the flavors. It's a celebration of a way of life.' MORE: You can now cruise Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway with a Margaritaville license plate Buffett's biggest fans may want to take everything in at one of nearly 50 events spread over the four days. There's a Cruisin' Tiki Sunset & Music Cruise and Mimosa-Ville Brunch: A Buffett Buffet. There's a Coconut Telegraph Trolley Tour. A Pool Party at The Marker and a Pencil Thin Mustache Contest at the Chart Room. Sunset & Bubbles: Songs & Stories with Will Kimbrough at Sunset Pier's big stage. But if you can't get away for all four days, here are a few events to consider. Second Line Memorial Walking Parade. When: 5 p.m.-6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 31. Free. This procession celebrates the life and times of Buffett in the Keys, the era when he cut his first batch of core Key West albums including 'A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean,' 'Living and Dying in ¾ Time,' 'A1A,' 'Havana Daydreaming' and 'Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.' For that LP, Buffett finished writing his biggest hit, 'Margaritaville,' when he was stuck on the Seven Mile Bridge west of Marathon waiting for a fender bender to clear in 1976, he told the Miami Herald in April 2023 when his sole Billboard Top 10 song was entered into the 2023 National Recordings Registry of the Library of Congress. He honed his music for these albums at Key West places that no longer exist like Howie's Bar and some that still do, like the Chart Room. The procession steps off from the lower 100 block of Duval Street, parades five blocks down Duval, turns onto Southard Street for another five blocks, and ends at Truman Waterfront Park for a casual celebration. Expect live music, group singalongs, and island-style outfits. You're encouraged to dress up in tropical attire and take in the Park: Nadirah Shakoor & Friends Tribute to Bubba. When: 6 p.m.-8:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 31. Free/badge perks. This is where the parade leads you to at Truman Waterfront Park. Rotating live music performances by a lineup including Shakoor, Howard Livingston and the Mile Marker 24 Band, and other local musicians. Bubba, by the way, was a term of endearment Buffett's bandmates and friends used around a Few Friends Walking Tour. When: Noon-2:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29; 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30; 10 a.m.-12:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 1. Cost: $45 each day. You will meet up outside Shrimp Boat Sound, Buffett's private recording studio since 1988's 'Hot Water' album through his last one, 'Equal Strain on All Parts' in 2023. Country superstar George Strait also recorded a string of his albums at Shrimp Boat. The recording studio was once a shrimp storage cooler (hence its name) and sits in the Key West Historic Seaport near the shrimp docks between Schooner Wharf Bar and Conch Republic Seafood Company. You're welcome to leave a memento or sticker on the white wall outside the studio as you take off on the 90-minute guided walking tour through some of the Key West places frequented by the Keys' favorite son over his history on the island. We bet you'll see the Chart Room or the supermarket Fausto's on Fleming Street where Buffett popped in for chocolate milk in the lyric of his 1976 'Havana Daydreaming' tune, 'My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus.' Probably Caroline Street where that woman was seen goin' crazy in the song of that name on the same album. You'll almost certainly see Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant on Duval Street at some point — either on this tour or along the parade route. Buffett tried out new songs on the joint's small stage. Capt. Tony's Saloon on Greene Street should figure, too. Buffett sang about stopping in here on the title song of his 1985 album, 'Last Mango in Paris. MORE: Why was a Florida sea creature named for singer Jimmy Buffett? Researchers have a reason Many of the events are free. Others like the cruises and walking tours and brunches and restaurant events carry a cost. A $35 laminated, double-sided Event Badge is not only a commemorative souvenir but it gains you entrance to some invitational events like the Kimbrough Songs & Stories event or it can get you closer to the stages and other perks from event sponsors. Badge holders will also have access to a log-in link to participate virtually if you or your whole family can't make it to the Keys that weekend. Badges can be purchased at Donations can also be made on the Badge site to help support the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys, which will donate proceeds to the Bahama Village Music Program; Reef Relief; and the Key West High School Marching Band. 'The Key West Just a Few Friends is not sanctioned by the estate or Margaritaville. We are not involved at all, but in the spirit of keeping Jimmy's party going, we hope everyone has a blast,' said Mindy Espy-Reyes, Coral Reefer Band spokeswoman. Speaking of the Coral Reefer Band, its key members, including lead vocalist and guitarist Mac McAnally, Buffett's frequent co-songwriter since 1981, are on the road this summer through Sept. 18 opening for the Doobie Brothers on the Walk This Road Tour. The band is fulfilling Buffett's edict just before he died to 'keep the party going.' There are no Florida dates on this leg of the Doobies/Coral Reefers North American tour. More dates are to be announced according to the Doobies. More information on the Aug. 29-Sept. 1 Just a Few Friends: Key West Favorite Son Celebration event at

Now, 84 Magic Hospitality brings you 3190, the Coconut Grove restaurant that offers lasagna ($15) served two ways: the 'Si Papa,' a classic Bolognese lasagna named after executive chef Giulio Rossi's daughter's response to an offer of his signature dish, and a vegetarian pesto version.

The restaurant also offers donburi (Japanese bowl meals), and a $100 omakase that's an exceptional value.
