Relative Race is back for its 10th season on BYU TV on Sunday nights. Before yesterday’s premiere episode started, the show’s host Dan Debenham had a message for the fans of the reality show that helps contestants find the family they never knew about. He revealed that he has been battling stage 4 prostate cancer for over a year and has just finished chemotherapy.
“I wanted to share my journey with all of you. In doing so, I realize that cancer is something that has affected so many of you. Through all my rounds of radiation and chemotherapy, it was my family that was there for me, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Their love, and their prayers, their support, it’s lifted me up and carried me through the tough times,” Debenham said. “I’ve often thought of all of our Relative Race teams throughout the years and their desperate search and sincere hope they’ll find anyone that is family. You know, I often say that Relative Race is a journey like any other. And as I quietly shared my own journey, I am so grateful for the thoughts and the prayers on my behalf. And for those of you who may be on this same journey, know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.”
Today, I ask you to pray for him to beat cancer. Take a few minutes out of your day to pray for a man who has brought joy to many others by bringing families together for the first time.
And to all the men out there, go see your doctor and get your blood checked. A simple PSA test can help you catch prostate cancer early.
Over the weekend, the adults (minus Julie Bowen) from Modern Family reunited for an event. Even though it has been two years since Sofia Vergara, Ed O’Neill, Ty Burrell, Sarah Hyland, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet worked together; they still appear to be as close as ever.
This is not the first time that some of them have reunited. Recently, Vergara and Ferguson attended Hyland’s wedding to Wells Adams.
I guess you can say not only did they play a family on TV, but they have become one.
Mark Ballas hasn’t been on Dancing with the Stars in a while, and he looks a whole different now that he is back. Somehow, he went from clean cut to a Fabio wanna-be. Or should I say, a porn version of Aladin? Or a Pirate in a cheesy movie? Or a Rock Star in a band no one wants to see? Or the creepy drug dealer turned informant on a police procedural? What do you have? Because you know you want to chime in.
Oh yeah, and don’t forget to watch DWTS tonight at 8p EST/5p PST on Disney+ to see that look in full effect.
Maybe the boy band you should be known as Backstreet Boys and a Queen. I’d rather see him go as a Poppy Spice than himself from now on! As you can tell, that is what I want, what I really really want.
Who doesn’t love pizza? No one, that’s who! So, Hulu created a competition series where three different contestants compete in each episode to make different pizzas to determine who is Best In Dough.
The show, hosted by Wells Adams, starts off by introducing us to the contestants, and we find out how they are similar. In the premiere episode, they have three nonnas showing off their culinary skills from the old country. And no one is going to doubt it because no one messes with an Italian grandmother. Although the judges try, and they are left fearing for their lives.
Then it is time for them to make their first pizzas or calzones, as we see in episode 2. After the judges, Adams, head judge Chef Daniele Uditi of Pizzana, and features Chef Millie Peartree, comedian and food influencer Eunji Kim and baker Bryan Ford, try all the pizzas, it is time to pick a winner. That winner can choose an advantage in the final round or a prize.
Once they have made their decision, it is time for the final challenge, and the winner goes home $10,000 richer. But this round is more challenging because there is a set of six new judges who are fans of eating pizza. And they get to try surprising ingredients on a pizza like lemon or BBQ salmon. No one knows what the contestants are going to bring, but they all bring it, especially the nonnas!
Actually, everyone brings it. And the themed episodes make it more exciting. There is a guy who has 1,600 pizza boxes in his closet. Is he also a closet pizza maker? And how do three different BBQ cooks do in the kitchen when they have to make a pizza? I wouldn’t be surprised if they added it to the menu.
And these are just the first three episodes that are streaming now. I can’t wait to see what the next 7 bring.
As much as I love this show, I wish it came with a warning. That warning is that you need to order pizza before you press play because you will be craving it as you watch. Thankfully, I had the ingredients in the house, so I was able to make one inspired by one of the ones I saw on the show.
So if you like pizza, you are going to love Best In Dough. So tune in because you are not going to want to miss a single episode.
