How 5 Emmy-nominated TV shows kept their big twist a secret
There's only one thing more shocking than your favorite TV show pulling the rug out from under you with a plot twist you didn't see coming: Not getting spoiled about it beforehand. It's a feat several of this year's Emmy nominees miraculously pulled off. Did you cover your mouth when one show killed off a main character? Scream when another's conflicted hero made a fateful romantic choice? Gasp when that perfect-looking world was revealed to be anything but? If you answered yes to any of those, then the steps the folks below took to protect their show's big shockers worked. Let's break down the biggest twists of the season and how they were kept a secret. (And it should go without saying: spoiler alert.) 'Paradise' The Twist: Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) discovering the murdered body of President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) isn't the biggest shock in the drama's pilot. The first is when, at the end, '[The camera] pulls up and you realize everyone is in an underground bunker with a fake sky,' explains executive producer Dan Fogelman. The Nerves: How to keep from losing sleep? Plan, plan, plan. 'You get less nervous because you start going, 'OK, here's how we're going to execute it,' he says. The Security: Fogelman recalls the twist-filled 'This Is Us' as 'frantic,' with code words and red script pages. But he's since mellowed, even giving press episodes early to screen. 'If you start worrying about everybody's worst impulses, you'll just be hamstrung,' he says. 'Only Murders in the Building' The Twist: In Season 4's fourth episode, Paul Rudd, who, as pretentious actor Ben Glenroy, was murdered the prior season, suddenly reappeared … as Glenroy's Irish-accented stunt double, Glen Stubbins. The Nerves: 'We'd kept Paul's return under wraps purposefully, and Paul was the cheerleader of that,' says executive producer John Hoffman, who admits concern over the surprise. 'We had big talks in the writers' room, like, 'This probably is a bit too far for us.' What eased his mind? 'The great charm of Paul Rudd,' he says. The Security: Besides NDAs and watermarked scripts, Hoffman says, 'I always want the mystery to be preserved, so I'm oftentimes on set freaking out and realizing, 'Wait, who's here? How locked down is the set?'' 'Severance' The Twist: In the trippy drama's Season 2 finale, Outie Mark (Adam Scott) rescues his captive wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman), but, reverting to his innie self, sends Gemma through the exit door to stay behind with his other love, Helly (Britt Lower). 'That was always seen as the end point of the season, with Mark stuck between Gemma and Helly,' says Scott. The Nerves: Scott worried more about the post-episode 'Severance' podcast with executive producer Ben Stiller and letting spoiler-y details slip too soon. 'We'd all listen through [episodes] separately to make triple and quadruple checks.' The Security: 'The actors are trusted with the material and the information,' says Scott, also an executive producer on the show. 'There aren't big secrets being kept from the cast. We're not particularly precious like that.' 'The Diplomat' The Twist: In the political drama's Season 2 finale, former U.S. Ambassador Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell) calls his wife, current U.S. Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), and tells her the president (Michael McKean) has died, making Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) the new POTUS. The Nerves: Executive producer Debora Cahn originally thought the twist 'sounded like the dumbest idea ever,' and was embarrassed to pitch it in the writers' room. Even after working out all the details, Cahn admits, 'I still thought it was going to suck.' The Security: Cahn's reservations kept the script's last pages redacted to everyone but Russell and Sewell until the cast table read. 'We got to that last page, they read the last line and there were gasps and screams,' she says. The moment finally convinced her that the shocking twist worked. 'The Last of Us' The Twist: In Season 2's second episode, hero Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) is brutally murdered by a vengeful Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) while a helpless Ellie (Bella Ramsey) watches, an event that comes from 'The Last of Us' video game. The Nerves: Between game fans and viewers who only know the show, executive producer Craig Mazin isn't worried. 'Our obsession with spoilers sometimes obscures the fact that that is not why we watch things,' he says, citing 'Titanic' as a favorite even though 'we knew it was gonna sink.' The Security: Scripts are watermarked and sides on set are collected and shredded but filming multiple scene versions like 'Game of Thrones' famously did? Nope. 'If I start writing a fake ending, I might be like, 'Wait, this fake ending is pretty good, right?''

Travis Kelce Shared His Favorite Colognes 2025
Travis Kelce looks like someone who'd smell good, right? There's a suave, cool factor about him that exudes a vibe that he rocks a sexy cologne, ya know. Maybe it's that he's really into his style and always looks pretty good (mustache included). Or it's his loud personality, on and off the field. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone spending that much time with Taylor Swift could smell anything less than fantastic. But I don't actually have to guess anymore, since Travis broke down his go-to perfumes and a love story (pun intended) for cologne in a video with GQ. "Gotta have the cologne," Travis says, outlining his essentials. He loves spritzing and trying new scents in "smell good stores," as he calls 'em. "It's all trial and error; it's whatever you feel like," he adds. "Who doesn't love smelling good?" Travis continues. And I couldn't agree more. But even if you can't afford Trav's $$$$ picks (four dollar signs is intentional here—his favorite cologne, Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman, clocks in at $245 for a 1.7 oz bottle), you can glean quite a bit of fragrance wisdom from the three-time Super Bowl winner. He's full of surprises! "You gotta have more than just one, ladies and gentleman," says Travis. He's got three favorite colognes and believes you've gotta have variety. And I couldn't agree more, as a fragrance-obsessed beauty editor. Having a collection of different scents that work with your distinct moods, occasions, and seasons helps you feel more put-together, just by spritzing on a perfume. "Obviously, there are certain smells that just match the fit perfectly, whether it's a dinner night or you're going out with your friends or just going to work," he explains. Key notes: Pear, bergamot, ginger, orange blossom, musk, cedar Key notes: Lychee, bergamot, ginger, peony, rose, cacao, patchouli Key notes: Bergamot, galbanum, ginger, solar notes, sandalwood, cedarwood And Travis is a fan of perfume layering too. "Sometimes you can mix and match if they smell good together," he says. It makes sense: His three faves all share a few notes in common (Travis loves ginger, bergamot, and woods, evidently), so they flow easily with each other if you layer one with the other. Fragrance is for everyone, and the idea of "perfumes for women" and "colognes for men" is seriously outdated. Even Travis agrees! One of his go-to Louis Vuitton scents, Attrape-Rêves (which he wholesomely couldn't pronounce because he "failed French freshman year"), is actually marketed as a "woman's scent." But I totally see why Travis loves it. It's a floral perfume that's grounded by earthy patchouli and warm cacao, but opens with bright lychee, bergamot, and ginger. I get it: He likes unique takes on woody, warm scents (especially if they've got ginger in there). With that in mind, I bet he'd love Taylor Swift Wonderstruck... IDK if Travis just loves his Louis Vuitton heritage print or if he's actually a serious fraghead. But there's more than just a cute reason behind his Louis cases. Actually, these are fantastic for protecting your perfumes. Listen, the juice in your bottles is fragile, and too much heat or sun exposure can change the scent. Not something you want when you're spending a whole lotta money. If you keep your perfumes on a tray on your vanity, consider a case. Louis Vuitton's are stunning for their specific scents if you also have the budget of a champion. Personally, I like to keep my precious scents in a leather vanity case, and I've moved many of my others away from the window.

Who went home on Bachelor in Paradise last night? See Paradise recap, roses, couples, more
"Bachelor in Paradise" week 7 brought all the drama with a "Secret Rendezvous" last night, Aug. 11, that tested relationships, as a truth bomb set off tension ahead of a rose ceremony that sent two people packing. Just a few weeks ahead of the finale of season 10 of "Paradise," eight couples remain on the rain-drenched beaches of Costa Rica, as viewers watched a "Golden" couple depart, despite a cozy connection that showed signs of going the distance. Men handed out the roses this week, but in a turn of events, 18 of the remaining cast members voted to withhold a rose from one man — a nod to the former "Bachelor Pad" process where votes were cast privately. While several young contestants turned against one of their own, Brian Autz, just one "Golden" couple remains. Here's your weekly recap, from who was sent home, who is still together, your episode guide, finale information, and more. Is 'Bachelor in Paradise' on tonight? No. "Bachelor in Paradise" aired on Monday, Aug. 11 and will return with episode 8 on Monday, Aug. 18. How long is 'Bachelor in Paradise' episode 7? "Bachelor in Paradise" episode 7 was two hours and aired 8 to 10 p.m. Eastern on Monday, Aug. 11. Where to watch 'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 10 TV channel: ABC Stream: Hulu (the next day). Also check out DirecTV or Fubo TV, which offer free trials, or Sling TV, which is offering a half off deal. 'Bachelor in Paradise' episode 7 recap "Bachelor in Paradise" episode 7 kicked off with the "Secret Rendezvous" challenge that tested contestants' compatability through a series of matching questions. Contestants were separated into the "Circle of Truth," and the non-couples who "matched" were told privately they could meet up in secret later in the evening. Although none did so, Brian Autz sent a note to Bailey Brown to meet her — she declined — but he later told her he had done so to reveal a secret to her: Her current partner, Jeremy Simon, had expressed interest in being with another woman, Susie Evans (who went home episode 3), and not her! Autz's reveal left Brown spiraling and wanting to go home, Simon doing damage control and several contestants turning on Autz for "snitching" on Simon. Ultimately, Simon convinced Brown to give him another chance. Who went home on 'Bachelor in Paradise' week 7? Two people went home on "Bachelor in Paradise" episode 7. Ahead of the Rose Ceremony, 18 contestants privately voted for which male contestant they wanted to send home, or forgo giving a rose to. Votes were split between Brian Autz and Kim Buike, but it was Buike who was sent packing. Buike, 70, a former Navy captain, exited with 62-year-old Faith Martin. 'Bachelor in Paradise' episode 8 spoilers In a teaser trailer from ABC for "Bachelor in Paradise" episode 8, airing Monday, Aug. 18, women will hand out the roses, although the group will again vote on who gets them. Shockingly, TWO women won't be given roses, meaning TWO COUPLES will be sent home next week. It also sounds like couples are working out strategies to win the $500,000 prize, with some suggesting voting out Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards, the strongest connection. Oh, and Allyshia Gupta is also seen calling fellow contestant Kat Izzo an "absolute joke of a human being." Gulp. Bring on more drama! Bachelor in Paradise' couples After two Rose Ceremonies on Episode 6 of "Bachelor in Paradise," just eight couples remain: Seven "young" couples and one "Golden" couple. Jess Edwards and Spencer Conley Kat Izzo and Dale Moss Bailey Brown and Jeremy Simon Parisa Shifteh and Brian Autz Alexe Godin and Andrew Spencer Kathy Swarts and Keith Gordon Lea Cayanan and Jonathon Johnson Allyshia Gupta and Sean McLaughlin See who was coupled up at the end of episode 6 here. Here's the list of Season 10 'Bachelor in Paradise' episodes "Bachelor in Paradise" season 10 will likely have 10 episodes, as it has in years past. Should that be the case, with all episodes airing on Mondays through the remainder of the season (minus week 2), this is what has already aired and what to expect: Episode 1: July 7, 2025 Episode 2: July 14, 2025 Episode 3: July 15, 2025 Episode 4: July 21, 2025 Episode 5: July 28, 2025 Episode 6: Aug. 4, 2025 Episode 7: Aug. 11, 2025 Episode 8: Aug. 18, 2025 Episode 9: Aug. 25, 2025 Episode 10: Sept. 1, 2025 When is the 'Bachelor in Paradise' finale? The "Bachelor in Paradise" season 10 finale will likely air on Sept. 1, 2025, if the show follows the typical format of 10 episodes. This also aligns with the first NFL Monday Night Football game on ABC, which airs on Sept. 8. Will there be a 'Bachelor in Paradise' reunion? It is not immediately known if there will be a "Bachelor in Paradise" season 10 reunion. Reality TV show media outlets indicate that if there was one, it would have been planned in advance and likely recorded already. There has been no indication of that. In prior seasons, the finale had aired with titles over the end of the show that give viewers an update of the couples' current status.
