Whistle stop board game

2002 was a rather strange year for game shows, as it saw both The Chair and The Chamber rise to fame. But The Chamber, which only ever aired for one season in the US and never made it big anywhere else, was one to beat them all. The show was so controversial that it saw contestants nearly killed while strapped into a torture chamber, tasked with answering trivia questions while subjected to extreme heat and extreme cold. One by one, players were strapped into a chair and would enter the chamber itself, which could reach up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit - that’s 76.66 degrees Celsius - and drop to -20 degrees Fahrenheit, minus 29 in Celsius. If it sounds like something from the Dark Web, it’s not - six episodes of the show aired on Fox in January 2002, with presenter Rick Schwartz at the helm. It gets even worse when you add in wind gusts of up to 40 miles per hour, simulated earthquakes increasing in intensity vibrating the chamber, electrodes contracting the players’ muscles … [Read more...] about Controversial game show The Chamber which saw contestants tortured and ‘nearly killed’

HANOI - Clutching the Singapore flag to her chest and wiping tears from her eyes, Shanti Pereira asked with quivering lips: “Real, right? This is real? Oh my God.” The Republic’s sprint queen had just moments earlier on Saturday (May 14) pulled off an incredible win in the women’s 200m final at the My Dinh Stadium to capture her second SEA Games title seven years after her first. Those seven years have been strewn with moments of self-doubt and scepticism and Pereira, 25, channelled them all into an inspired 23.52-second effort to cross the line ahead of the Philippines’ Kyla Ashley Richardson (23.56sec) and twin Kayla Anise Richardson (23.87sec) and capture gold again after two consecutive bronze medals at the biennial Games. Pereira’s time also meant she rewrote her national record of 23.60sec, which she had set during that 2015 SEA Games win in Singapore and had toiled unsuccessfully to lower until Saturday. Upon seeing her record-setting time on the clock at the finish line … [Read more...] about ‘This is real, right?’ Singapore sprinter Shanti Pereira clinches second SEA Games gold after 7 years

No matter how much they plan, they can never guarantee something unexpected won't happen on their big day - but it doesn't always have to be a bad thing.

BOSTON (AP) — In the fog of the Celtics’ Game 5 loss to Milwaukee that dropped his team into a 3-2 series hole, Boston coach Ime Udoka made a prediction. “It’ll make it sweeter when we bounce back,” he said. Two wins later, the Celtics turned their coach’s prophecy into reality. Grant Williams scored a career-high 27 points and hit seven 3-pointers, Jayson Tatum added 23 and Boston set a Game 7 record with 22 3-pointers to eliminate the NBA champion Bucks 109-81 on Sunday in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Celtics will face top-seeded Miami beginning Tuesday in a rematch of the 2020 East finals. The Heat beat the Celtics in six games in that series at Walt Disney World. Tatum said his team embraced the “backs against the wall” moments it faced in having to win the final two games after their late collapse in their previous home game. “As much as it hurt to lose Game 5, I was looking forward to that challenge,” Tatum said. “I believe in myself, I believe in this … [Read more...] about Williams has 27, Celtics make 22 3s in Game 7 rout of Bucks

Hector Bellerin was reduced to tears as he played what could be his final game in front of the Real Betis home crowd. The defender who is on loan from Arsenal has played a key role in Betis' season, which has left them with an outside chance of making the top four in La Liga. But with their final game of the season away to Real Madrid, they have now played their last match at Estadio Benito Villamarín for this campaign. With Bellerin's future still up in the air, it may have been his last game at home for the Spanish side. And the emotion got the better of him at the final whistle. It's been something of a tough ride for Bellerin, as the fan favourite at Arsenal quickly became an outcast under Unai Emery and then Mikel Arteta . The defender was adored due to his love for Arsenal, and legendary boss Arsene Wenger was keen on Bellerin from an early age. However, his successors didn't see Bellerin the same way, and he was shipped out on loan this season. Thankfully for … [Read more...] about Arsenal loanee Hector Bellerin left in tears after final Real Betis game
