According to one Wheel of Fortune contestant, NFL star Travis Kelce had another “boo” before his current ladylove, Taylor Swift, came into the picture.
Although Travis is known for his skills on the field as a tight end for the Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, he’s also got some game at snagging beautiful women.
The 6′ 5″ ladies’ man might be dating pop icon Taylor Swift, but another woman claims she took hold of Travis’ heart before the Shake it Off singer ever did.
During an appearance on Wheel of Fortune’s Superfan Tournament, a contestant named Deanna Allen made a bold admission during her introduction.
The Superfan Tournament saw contestants compete to win tickets to Super Bowl Lviii to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers.

In the 1994 film "Star Trek: Generations," the Enterprise-d was sabotaged by Klingons, allowing the ship to be bested in battle and severely damaged. The ship's drive section blew up into a million pieces and the saucer section crash-landed on Veridian III. After a dramatic event like that, one might expect some of the Enterprise officers to re-think their career trajectories. It seems that most of the Enterprise's senior staff was 100% okay with merely moving to another (uglier) ship and going on their merry way. No one gets sentimental about the Enterprise-d.
Worf (Michael Dorn), however, did indeed have a crisis of career. His ship was destroyed and he didn't really know what he wanted to do. Luckily, a chance visit to Deep Space Nine revealed that he was content with the idea of transferring. He would no longer be a security officer, but an ambitious command officer. Starting with the...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the September 18 episode of Jeopardy!] The Second Chance Tournament featuring Season 37 players continued on Jeopardy! with digital journalist Matt Walks, community outreach supervisor Deanna Bolio, and history and Latin teacher Elliott Goodman, and it was early on that one of them got a bit of bad news. Before her interview following the first commercial break, host Ken Jennings informed Deanna, “I’m afraid I have to give you the bad news first. I inadvertently accepted your response of Chief Joseph instead of Crazy Horse in the first round, so we’re going to have to knock that off your score. But it’s early. You’ll be back.” That took her from $2400 (already in third to Matt’s $3200 and Elliott’s $2600) to $400. The clue in question came in the category of American History. The $1000 clue read, “Native American leaders at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn included Sitting Bull & this Oglala chief, ...

"Star Trek: Picard" Season 3 is in the books, and it may stand not only as one of the best "Star Trek" seasons ever, but also, if we count it as a 10-hour movie, it's the next "Next Generation" movie by a longshot, and the one we needed all this time. Movies like "Generations" and "First Contact" didn't give us time to miss the show the way the original gap between TV and movies had, but now, it's been a long time getting from there to here since all the old gang were together, and it's a beautiful reunion. Cuz they've got faaaaaith .. .of the heeeaaaaaart! Ahem. Wrong "Star Trek" show.
With every original main character from "Tng" aboard and some new and returning faces, this season balanced a lot of key characters. Some of them were handled much better than others; it's hard not to notice the way the new...

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 10
All good things must come to an end. Even the things we might wish wouldn’t. Such is the case with Star Trek: Picard, a series that, to put it mildly, struggled to find a coherent identity and purpose during its first two seasons, but which blossomed in its third and did so by finally embracing the very legacy it at first tried so hard to run away from. I’m as surprised as anyone to find myself wishing this story could last just a little bit longer, that we could somehow spend a little bit more time with these people, that we didn’t have to say goodbye to this piece of Star Trek: The Next Generation, grown older alongside us in rich and fascinating ways.

As Picard season 3 heads toward its conclusion, Star Trek fans are simply not prepared for how hard these episodes go in the nostalgia department. More than any other science fiction franchise, Star Trek’s history is so rich and varied, that it’s always possible to do something new with old material. For this reason, Picard’s penultimate episode, “Vox,” is still pretty shocking, even if you predicted some of these twists.
The easter eggs and callbacks here are there for the fan service, of course. But these are also storytelling moments, payoffs that are decades in the making. Here are all the biggest and most and best references and easter eggs in “Vox,” the next-to-last episode of Picard ever.
The Crimson Arboretum on Raritan IV
As Jack and Deanna try to get that red door opened, Jack remembers visiting the “crimson arboretum” on Raritan IV.

This post contains spoilers for the ninth episode of "Star Trek: Picard" season 3.
The Borg Queen is back, baby. According to the "Star Trek" timeline, the all-assimilating villains have spent a suspiciously quiet decade off-screen, but it turns out they weren't gone; they were just evolving. The latest episode of "Star Trek: Picard" gave us the answer to Jack Crusher's (Ed Speleers) origin with a Deanna-delivered info-dump about the Borg's return. It turns out, the aliens didn't just turn Jack into a locator beacon thanks to some Borgy remnants in his genetics, but they also figured out how to assimilate people via transporter.
This explains a lot of what's been happening this season, from the faulty transporters to Jack's visions. The young man has also been hearing a voice in his head, and that turns out to be none other than the woman in charge herself, the Borg Queen.

With only two episodes to go before the series finale, Star Trek: Picard seems ready to wrap up its big storylines. In “Surrender,” season 3 antagonist Vadic finally met her demise, thanks to a very clever maneuver by Jean-Luc and company, closing one of the many arcs introduced this season. But there’s still plenty the Next Generation team and the crew of the USS Titan need to solve before this story can truly wrap up.
For one thing, our heroes still need to figure out how to stop the elusive Changeling plot that’s set to unfold during Starfleet’s big Frontier Day celebration. Whatever they have planned, it’s clear these shapeshifting terrorists intend to change the Star Trek universe as we know it.

The easter egg game is afoot! As was true with Picard’s easter egg bonanza from a few weeks ago, episode 8, “Surrender,” uses callbacks and references in such a way that you can’t actually figure out how the plot would work without this stuff. We know that the final two episodes of Picard season 3 will surely be packed beyond belief with references and Trekkie surprises, but for now, in “Surrender,” the references pack a punch because they make the plot happen.
Here are the best easter eggs and references in episode 8:
Vadic Smoking on the Bridge
Although it’s possible this isn’t an intentional reference, Vadic smoking one of her dusty shapeshifter cigarettes on the bridge of the Titan might be a shout-out to The Wrath of Khan. In that movie, at the very start, there are signs on the...

This post contains spoilers for "Star Trek: Picard" season 3 episode 8.
Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) is straight-up not having a good time. The long-lost son of Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) has gone full post-Upside-Down Will Byers in the latest episodes of "Star Trek: Picard." He's haunted by visions of branch-like tendrils and a red door, plagued by nightmares, and in possession of some strange energy that turns his eyes red. He also seems to be developing superpowers; Jack took down a whole crew worth of Changelings as if on autopilot, and he can talk to Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) with his mind.
With Deanna (Marina Sirtis) finally on the case, it looks like we'll find out about Jack's mysterious past next week, and if "Star Trek: Picard" keeps up the trend its established in its first two seasons, a major Trek-verse reveal is sure to follow by the finale.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 8 “Surrender.”] Star Trek: Picard brought back Patrick Stewart’s Next Generation costars for its final season, and so far, it’s been one reunion after another. But it’s the eighth episode in which we see everyone together again — Picard (Stewart), Crusher (Gates McFadden), Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Geordi (LeVar Burton), Worf (Michael Dorn), Deanna (Marina Sirtis), and Data (Brent Spiner). McFadden talks about filming that scene and Crusher’s arc this season. When you first signed on to come back to Star Trek, how much had you known about Crusher’s arc? Gates McFadden: Nothing. I was contacted by [showrunner] Terry Matalas and he said, “Would you be interested? We have a really great storyline.” I said, “I’m interested. Tell me the storyline.” I think it was clear to the producers that the reason it was interesting for us to come back was if they...

“Star Trek: Picard” Season 3 is finally here and boy, is it a trip down memory lane.
This season, touted as the “final voyage,” reunites Jean-Luc Picard with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Their adventures were chronicled in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” which ran for seven seasons from 1987 to 1994. The last time the cast shared the screen was in the 2002 feature film “Star Trek: Nemesis.”
The newest season of “Picard” picks up some 20+ years later, with Picard (Patrick Stewart) assembling his old crew to save one of their own.

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 8
Star Trek: Picard giveth and Star Trek: Picard taketh away. Sometimes even within the same episode. Such is the case with “Surrender,” a wildly uneven hour that shines brightest when it focuses on the legacy crew from Star Trek: The Next Generation, but stumbles badly whenever it attempts to pivot back to the larger mystery of Jack Crusher’s true identity. The show’s repeated contortions to not answer this seemingly central question of its final season are rapidly becoming exhausting, and worse, are narrative momentum killers that take away from the much more interesting emotional character work happening elsewhere.
Despite plenty of heavy-handed hints and Vadic’s ominous declaration at the end of last week’s episode that it was time for Jack to learn who he truly is, the explosive revelations we’re promised ultimately fizzle.
