For country singer Whitney Duncan, tragedy struck on a day that should have been one of celebration. The same day that Whitney Duncan learned she made Survivor, she also found out her cousin, Holly Bobo, had gone missing.
When Holly Bobo mysteriously vanished, it sent a wave of shock, sadness, and terror throughout the community.
What happened to Duncan’s cousin Bobo?
Bobo was only 20 years old when she was kidnapped from her Tennessee home while preparing to leave for nursing school. The cousin of the Survivor: South Pacific cast member seemed to vanish into thin air. Her family members soon launched a search.
However, the website All That’s Interesting reports that there were very few leads and almost no clues. On the day that she disappeared, April 13, 2011, Bobo’s mother got a concerning phone call at work from one of the neighbors saying that there had been screaming at the house.

Baseball legend David “Big Papi” Ortiz is taking a journey through baseball history in his new ESPN Plus series “Big Papi’s Places.”
Ortiz hosts the sports series, the latest expansion of the football-centric ESPN Plus series “Peyton’s Places,” with the first episode now available to stream.
In an exclusive clip (see below), Ortiz and “Peyton’s Places” host Peyton Manning meet up, with Manning offering Ortiz a chance to host his own show. Of course, there are qualifications. Manning needs to know if Ortiz has at least one World Series ring or has ever hit over 500 homeruns. Ortiz is a three-time World Series champion and finished his 20-season career with 541 homeruns.
“From legends like Babe Ruth to the iconic stadiums of the sport such as Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, baseball is rich with history begging to be shared with more people,” said Ortiz. “To be able to...

Rather than selecting returning players unilaterally and listening to fans complain about the latest return for Rupert or a confusing return for a castaway even superfans don't remember, "Survivor" has left the decision somewhat up to America to determine the 20 castaways for Season 31. On Wednesday (May 6) at the end of the latest episode of the less-than-lackluster "Survivor: Worlds Apart," CBS formally announced what had long been rumored across the Interwebs. There are 32 candidates up for the "Second Chance" season. As the word "second" implies, this season will only be open to one-time former players who didn't win, so all of your Hantzes and Ruperts are out. Thank God. Instead, this group of 32 includes contestants going back to original "Survivor: Borneo" runner-up Kelly Wigglesworth. And then there are five candidates from the current season, including two who haven't been eliminated yet, which is either an annoying spoiler or not, but I'm...

Brandon Hantz was sent home from Wednesday night's Survivor: Caramoan in perhaps the most dramatic exit ever -- at an Immunity Challenge that morphed into a Tribal Council when his tribe forfeited following Brandon's camp-wide rampage that culminated with him dumping their stock of rice and beans into the sand.
ETonline interviewed the 21-year-old chemical disposal worker from Katy, TX the day after his ouster aired. Read on for the rambling Q&A that touches on everything from whether Brandon regrets dumping the rice and beans (Hint: not at all), to the shoulder massage Jeff gave him at the Immunity challenge, to being forgiven for his sins, and to his dream of coming back to the show to compete with his infamous uncle Russell Hantz. All with pop culture references to YouTube bullies, a popular video game, and Justin Timberlake thrown in.

Brandon Hantz had a bit of a rough go last time we saw him on Survivor. During the South Pacific season he was portrayed as a leering pervert who could not handle his sexual attraction to another contestant, an unstable entity that would pop off at Tribal Council for no reason, and, finally, a rube who could get suckered into giving away his immunity only to be immediately voted off after doing so. As if dealing with all of that was not enough, Brandon had to also endure the public barbs coming from his own uncle — two-time Survivor finalist Russell Hantz...

If you want to know what it's like to work at such a place, tonight Discovery debuts a new series, Weed Wars, that follows the world's largest retail marijuana store. And that follows a documentary that explores the United States' weird relationship with marijuana. Weed Wars is set...

We're now two weeks past John Cochran's big "Survivor" flip, a strategic maneuver that some fans have celebrated as a brilliant game play and some fans are hailing as an act of betrayal. Not surprisingly, the players impacted negatively by Cochran's move are also still irked by what went down in the South Pacific and although they're maybe not as harshly critical as they were on the night the alliance shift went down, they're also not happy. In a double-elimination Duel that aired this past week, Jim Rice and Keith Tollefson were defeated on Redemption Island and it's no...

Jim Rice was one of the casualties of John Cochran turning on his Savaii tribemates on "Survivor: South Pacific." He tells Zap2it he does not regret what he said to Cochran, nor does he think Cochran was bullied.
Are you glad you did "Survivor"? Was it everything you expected or hoped it would be?
"So much more than I expected it would be. I'm thrilled that I did it."
Having watched the show, do you feel like Savaii excluded Cochran or maybe wasn't very nice to him? Or was it more of the edit the tribe got?
"Not at all. That's the most frustrating thing to even see. No. The viewers and the Upolu tribe are the people who have looked at Cochran and assumed that he was bullied. We all know that if there was bullying, it would've been shown on the air. That is a little bit frustrating.

The past two episodes of Survivor: South Pacific have really thrown us for a loop. Are the producers finally bored of the repetition after 23 seasons? One week no one goes home, the next week, two get knocked out at once. That unfortunate duo happened to be Keith Tollefson (he's the hot one who didn't say much), and Jim Rice (he's the forensic science teacher medical marijuana dispenser who everyone thought was creepy).

Jim Rice thought he was in a good place to possibly take home the million dollars on Survivor: South Pacific, but the medical marijuana dispensary owner’s game went to pot when John Cochran flipped sides rather that risk pulling a colored rock. That sent Jim to Redemption Island, where he (and Keith) lost a duel to Ozzy and was out of the game. Has Jim forgiven John? What’s his biggest regret in the game? And whom would he have taken to the finals? The never cowardly contestant answers all that and more!

Unless your nickname is Coach (his real name is Ben Wade, for those who don't know) Survivor: South Pacific is not a good season to have a nickname. Whether they were given their nickname or asked for it, none of the nicknamed has fared well in the first three episodes.
However, this was the first week any of them were left out.
We're talking, of course, about John "Call Me Cochran" Cochran, the now-voted-out Mark "Papa Bear" Caruso and Brandon "Lil Hantz" Hantz. The irony of Papa Bear being voted out this week is that until the very end of this episode, he was the only one of the three to have not done anything to hurt his cause.
Instead, the perennially neurotic Cochran and Brandon live on to see three more days. And the pair is dominating the screen. Not in traditional Survivor ways by manipulating players to do what they need,...
