'Osas. Esosa. You are the last team to arrive,' Montgomery said. 'I am sorry to tell you this, but you have been eliminated from the race.' 'OK,' Esosa said. 'I guess that's it then.' 'Thank you for bringing amazing energy to this race,' Montgomery said, 'and I wish you two nothing but the best of luck in what comes next.' On social media, the news hit fans of the 'Short Kings' as the brothers were known, hard. 'I'm so sad that the Short Kings are gone,' said @threestarpet on the Amazing Race Canada Instagram page. 'They were such a charismatic pair!' 'So sad that my two favs are out. Loved them,' said @shanaanderson12. 'Even though it is the race, it hurts to see Osas and Esosa leave because they were fun and entertaining and I honestly wish it was a non-elimination leg,' said @ The brothers, who won fans across the country for their sense of humour as they occasionally got lost en route to completing the latest challenge, were emotional and philosophical about being eliminated.

'I think we just wanted to put ourselves out there,' said Esosa, 'so that people would be, hey, you don't always have to put yourself in a box.

MasterChef Australia: Fan favourite fails to make the top five in heartbreaking exit after disastrous mushroom dish
Beloved MasterChef Australia veteran Snezana 'Snez' Calic had to hang up her apron on Sunday. The 40-year-old from Victoria, who first appeared on season 16 of the cooking competition, faced a 90 minute cooking challenge alongside the six other survivors of the Back to Win season. But after a disastrous first round when her aioli failed to come together, Snez was suffered from a lack of time. After serving up a mushroom ragu with polenta the judges were left unimpressed. Judge Andy Allen complained that the pine mushrooms were dry. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'That impacted the taste and the textures,' he said as he announced that it was Snez the judges had decided to send home. He continued, 'And in the end the lack of time showed on the plate.' 'I just wanted to survive day one,' an emotional Snez said, adding, 'how did i make it to the final six.' She later reflected on her experience. 'I felt so good, even though I was eliminated, I felt good,' the chef told Ten. 'I achieved a lot, I cooked with these legends, and I really, genuinely appreciate the judges. It was such an emotional moment and I'm so, so happy about it.' Last Sunday night, season three's Alana Lowes cooked her final dish in the Doha kitchen as she went head-to-head with Snezana, Laura Cassai and Sarah Todd in a 'dual duel'. The cook-off paired contestants together to battle it out against their opponent, cooking with the same main ingredient in a heated elimination challenge. The least impressive dish in each duo sent its chef onto the second round, fighting it out again for a place in next week's lineup. The challenge placed the contestants literally in a face-off showdown behind benches that were set up opposite each other, upping the tension in the kitchen. Speaking to Ten of her elimination, Alana said that her second time around in the MasterChef kitchen was filled with food, fun and, above all, fierce friendships, especially with fellow participant Snezana. 'I felt like this was a second opportunity to get into this kitchen and just really have fun with it, enjoy every moment,' she said. 'I would have loved to have gone further, but I just feel so satisfied with what I achieved and the dishes that the judges absolutely raved about,' she added.

Hiroshima governor visits former nuclear test site in Kazakhstan
The governor of Japan's Hiroshima Prefecture has visited a former nuclear testing site and a museum conveying the history of nuclear tests in Kazakhstan. Governor Yuzaki Hidehiko is on a trip to the Central Asian country to deepen collaboration with the former Soviet republic on the elimination of nuclear arms. On Thursday, Yuzaki went to the museum in the city of Kurchatov, which stands next to the former Semipalatinsk nuclear testing site. Museum officials told the governor that the former Soviet Union conducted more than 450 nuclear tests and recorded various data at observation centers at the site. The governor listened to their explanations while observing models on display. The former testing site spans an area of about 18,000 square kilometers, full of grassy fields. Yuzaki toured a four-story concrete building, which was used as an observation station. When the site was in use, observation stations were reportedly set up at equal intervals from the hypocenter and used to take photographs of nuclear explosions. The experiments are said to have caused health problems in 1.5 million people at the site and in surrounding areas. The Hiroshima governor is scheduled to meet some of those who had been exposed to nuclear radiation on Friday.

Jeremiah Brown on His ‘Love Island USA' Romance With Huda Mustafa and Ace Greene's Clique Voting Him Off: ‘That's Some Bulls—!'
Two more islanders were sent home during Sunday night's episode of 'Love Island USA' Season 7. With the help of the public and safe contestants, Jeremiah Brown and Hannah Fields became the latest individuals to be dumped from the island. On June 20, viewers cast their votes for their favorite female and male islanders to remain in the villa and continue exploring their romantic connections. The results were revealed, leaving six competitors vulnerable and at risk of being eliminated from the island during the episode that streamed on June 22. More from Variety Ariana Madix on the Character She Creates for 'Love Island USA,' the Power of Female Rage and Saying Goodbye to 'Vanderpump Rules' 'Love Island USA' Contestant Belle-A Walker on Her Elimination, Yulissa's Departure and Her One Regret: 'I Would Have Explored Things With Taylor' 'Love Island USA' Contestant Yulissa Escobar Apologizes for Using Racial Slur After Being Kicked Off Show: 'I Didn't Know Better Then, but I Do Now' Among the women with the fewest votes were Fields, Iris Kendall and Amaya Espinal. The men who were also at the bottom of the ranking included Brown, Jose 'Pepe' Garcia-Gonzalez and Austin Shepard. Although the public had the initial vote for who to remove from the villa, the ultimate decision was left to the remaining contestants. The islanders who were saved by the public ultimately decided to send Brown and Fields home, a decision that shocked not only the named contestants but also viewers. Fields entered the new season as a bombshell who recoupled with Garcia after her initial connection with Charli Georgiou was cut short due to his elimination. Brown arrived as part of the original cast and formed an instant romance with fellow castmate Huda Mustafa, who has so far this season drawn the most attention from the audience. Early on, his relationship with Mustafa became the focal point as their coupling progressed and snowballed into a tumultuous relationship that the other islanders found upsetting, as it created a toxic atmosphere in the villa. With the concept of 'Love Island' being a space to explore connections, many of the islanders raised their concerns about Brown and Mustafa's steadfast commitment to each other in a short period. Viewers took the opportunity to separate the couple by voting to pair bombshell Kendall with Brown, ultimately moving on from his first relationship with Mustafa. Brown continued to explore his connections and pursued the new bombshell, Andreina Santos, who entered the villa during Episode 15. Amid Brown and Santos deepening their connection, their time together abruptly ended after the men made a collective decision for Brown to be dumped from Fiji. Below, Brown talked to Variety about his elimination, his relationship with Mustafa, where he stands with the men and more. They can say we don't want him to recreate old habits, but I had already communicated to them multiple times that I'm doing it the right way now. I'm doing it slowly. I never did what they said, but our values did line up. They're telling me to explore everything. I'm now exploring everything, and it still wasn't enough. So when they said they didn't want me to recreate old habits, that's some bullshit! I couldn't buy that. They saw a chance to get out their competition. It is a game at the end of the day. I know that they had an interest in the bombshell, and we were getting pretty close. It was honestly getting out a competitor. I had a feeling in my gut. I love Austin, but he hasn't found anybody in three weeks. Pepe was a bombshell, and they didn't get along with him at first. Logically, there were two more viable options. When Taylor did it instead of Nic [Vansteenberghe] or Ace, I knew I was out of there. I was surprised. It reaffirmed what I already had in my head. No matter what path I chose, it was an issue. I heard that like 30 times and nothing else. When Charlie [Georgiou] and Jalen [Brown] got voted off, they had real conversations. They didn't say why they did it. They just said it wasn't personal, and I'm not going for that. When I vote, it's all personal. I don't care if you fuck up a million times; if you're my friend, then I'm keeping you. That's just how I work. It probably started with me curving Yulissa [Escobar] so she would steal him instead of me because I wanted to explore things with Huda. I panicked and thought, 'What can I do not to get stolen?' That probably started us off on the wrong foot, because he wanted to be coupled up with Chelley [Bissainthe]. We had many great moments together, but we didn't always see eye to eye. It could be intimidation. I don't know. Respectfully, I'm staying on my side. I know it's a game show, and I shouldn't get in my feelings about it. But what they said and how they moved, I don't want people like that around me. I wish them the best, but I'm good. I'm going to do my own thing. I swear I told them multiple times that I'm doing it the right way — not even trying to convince them. I would see them across the field hating. And once we [Andreina Santos] kissed, I knew they were really hating. I was going to say something in the bedroom when I was packing, but nothing I could have said would have changed what happened. When I first walked up to her at the bar, there was this crazy spark, and we both saw it before the first coupling. We were having conversations where she said she was very level-headed, emotionally mature and a woman of God. On paper, all our values lined up mentally, physically and spiritually until everything happened. I wanted to pursue her, and that's what I did. In hindsight, it didn't work out. But that's the journey. The challenges were tough. In the first challenge, I didn't want to do anything with anybody else because I wanted to respect her and focus on that. Then, I felt like I couldn't [participate]. After the baseball challenge, we had a talk where we said, 'We have to participate. This is why we're here. We can do the challenges. We'll be fine. We're supposed to be tested.' We tell people who come in that we're rocking together. If something happens, we communicate that because we were never closed off. After the first challenge, I wasn't going through the rest of the season stepping on eggshells. Part of me wants to say no, but I've never talked to a mom. So, I'm going to feel some type of way. To be truthful about who I am, I'd have to say yes because I've never chosen to go after a single mom. The spark would have still been there, but it would have changed the dynamic. Pancake day. It was when I was getting yelled at for not making a pancake that I didn't know was being made. That's when I started to see shit. I didn't say anything because I was trying to make it work. I was like, 'OK, I don't agree with this, but I like you so much, so let's see what I can do.' That's when I had that long talk at the fire pit that night. It hurt, because we had a strong connection. You're saying how much you care about me and then turning around and calling me this and that. I don't vibe with that. How you talk about me behind my back is how you really feel about me. Ever since that night when I heard her in the shower, I tried to come back from it by having a conversation. I can't be with someone that did all that. It would be different if it were private or face-to-face. But when you're yelling across the villa, I can't get behind that. It confirmed many things I had been pushing back because I liked her so much and wanted to find a way to make it work. That's why I couldn't confront her. I should have. It broke everything down in my head for me. When that recoupling happened, America saw something –even if they were just being messy. At first, I was pissed. It broke me because I had just got to a good spot with Huda. But then it confirmed maybe it wasn't as solid as I thought it was. This interview has been edited and condensed.
