The reality is that these are the best reality TV shows Mallory Pool Staff Reporter

One of the most entertaining things for humans to watch is other humans. Reality TV has been an integral part of our media for the last several decades. With my personal favorite reality TV show “Survivor” in the middle of its 42 season, I figured it was time I rank my top five favorite reality shows over the last 10 years.

Coming in at number five, “Say Yes to the Dress” has been on the air for 14 years now. When I went through my wedding planner phase, “Say Yes to the Dress” was one of my favorite shows to watch. You get to be entertained by women paying more on a dress than a used car. Whether you like the show for its fashion and watching women find their dream wedding dress or for its ridiculous prices and crying brides, there’s something for all viewers to enjoy.

Number four is in a completely different lane of reality TV than “Say Yes to the Dress.” “The Voice” was a household favorite as I was growing up. It became so popular that there are now versions of the show across the globe in over 60 countries. If you like any type of music and enjoy listening

Via Google Images “Survivor” is one of the longest running reality TV shows, with 42 seasons under its belt.

to some amazing singers, this is a show to watch. As far as singing goes, this show has recently outshined “American Idol”, “The X Factor” and “America’s Got Talent”.

Number three is one of the most popular reality TV shows in cinematic history. “The Bachelor” is one of my favorite shows to watch, reality TV or otherwise. My favorite thing to do with my mom when I was younger was watch the new episode every Monday night and predict who we thought was going to be the lucky winner. Including petty

drama and beautiful travel destinations, “The Bachelor” is a fantastic introduction to my top three favorite reality TV shows.

Coming in at a close second, the classic “The Amazing Race” was a must watch for my entire family.

Looking back on my childhood, I can attribute part of my desire to travel to this TV show. Seeing the breathtaking places these competitors were traveling to made me want to compete in it one day and also travel the world. From a young age, this show made an impres-

sion on me and is one of the more fun, while not being overly dramatic, reality TV shows.

Rounding out my top five, my favorite reality TV show is “Survivor.”

From Jeff Probst as the host to the physical challenges and strategy to the exotic locations, this TV show is one of the best reality shows on air. This is proved by the fact that it is in its 42 season and has been running for 22 years.

It’s a fan favorite across the nation and I hope it will continue to impress. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

5 Cowboys Named to All-Big 12 First Team, two Named to Freshman Team Daniel Allen Staff Reporter Conference tournament time means more than just a ticket into the postseason.

It also signifies the commencement of the Big 12 regular season awards. Oklahoma State saw a conference-leading five members named to the All-Big 12 First Team.

Those names included pitchers Justin Campbell, Roman Phansalkar, first baseman Griffin Doersching, left fielder Jake Thompson, and utility player Nolan McLean. Campbell finished the regular season holding a 3.71 ERA which ranked fourth among Big 12 starting pitchers, an 8-2 record on the mound, and a conference-leading 123 strikeouts which ranked sixth nationally.

Phansalkar took a drastic leap from the 2021 season, cementing himself as one of the primary arms out of the bullpen for the Cowboys on the season. He finished the year with a 2.51 ERA, a massive jump from his 6.35 ERA in 2021.

Doersching finished with 11 home runs and a .295 batting average. In just his first season in Stillwater, the senior slugger managed to earn first-team honors in spite of missing 37 days because of a broken foot.

McLean was prolific for the Cowboys both on the mound and behind the plate, posting a .285 batting average with 13 home runs. On the mound, he worked his way into the rotation, eventually solidifying himself as the team’s closer, posting a 4.09 ERA with 34 strikeouts.

Thompson finished with above a .300 batting average for the third straight time in his college career, holding a team-leading .359 batting average along with 13 home runs. Thompson also led the team in RBI with 54.

In addition, the Cowboys saw second baseman Roc Riggio and outfielder Zach Ehrhard named to the All-Big 12 Freshman Team after impressive inaugural seasons. OSU finished the season 36-18 overall and 15-9 in conference.

The Cowboys finished in a three-way tie for second with Oklahoma and Texas Tech in the Big 12 regular season standings.

Ben Cohen Griffin Doersching and four teammates were selected to the All-Big 12 First Team on Tuesday afternoon.

15 dead, including 14 children, in Texas elementary school shooting After an active shooter was reported at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a predominantly Latino town Christian Martinez, about 85 miles west of San Antonio, Molly Hennessy-Fiske Uvalde Memorial Hospital said in a and Jenny Jarvie Facebook post at 2:30 p.m. Central time Los Angeles Times that hospital staff members were caring for “several students” in the emergency room.

Uvalde Memorial received 17 inFifteen people were killed, includ- jured children via ambulance or school ing more than a dozen children, in a bus, two of them dead on arrival, hospishooting at a Texas elementary school, tal Chief Executive Tom Nordwick said.

Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday.

He said the hospital also treated “He shot and killed horrifically, a man in his mid-40s who had suffered incomprehensibly, 14 students and minor injuries in the shooting. killed a teacher,” the Texas governor “He just said, ‘Treat the kids,’” said, adding that the suspect, Salvador Nordwick said, adding that 12 children Ramos, 18, is also dead. were still being treated in the ER and

he couldn’t say what their condition was.

Two children were transported to a hospital in San Antonio, and another was awaiting transport, hospital officials said. University Hospital in San Antonio said a 66-year-old woman was in critical condition.

Robb Elementary has an enrollment of just under 600 students. Earlier, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District had said that all schools in the district were locked down because of gunshots in the area.

“Texans across the state are grieving for the victims of this senseless crime and for the community of Uvalde,” Abbott said in a statement.

“Cecilia and I mourn this horrific loss

and we urge all Texans to come together to show our unwavering support to all who are suffering.”

Abbott said he had instructed the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers to work with local law enforcement to investigate the shooting.

A Uvalde Police Department dispatcher said the scene was still active and no other information was immediately available.

The district said that the city’s civic center was being used as a reunification center.

Courtesy Tribune News Service A woman cries Tuesday, May 24, 2022, as she leaves the Uvalde Civic Center, in Uvalde, Texas. At least 14 students and one teacher were killed when a gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, according to Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott.

WHEN IS LITTLE MUCH?

There is a short chorus that has encouraged me many times. “Little is much if God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There’s a crown and you can win it. If you go in Jesus’ name.”

The woman, who poured the precious ointment on Jesus just before he was crucified, was criticized for “wasting” this expensive item. Yet, Jesus said everywhere the gospel is preached this woman’s action would be told. (Mk 14:3-9) Little things mean a lot as we are willing to serve the Lord. Paul mentions many in Romans 16 who helped him. The Good Samaritan stopped to help the man beaten and robbed.

(Lu.10:30-37) Paul writes as you have opportunity, do good to all men, especially to other believers.(Gal.6:10) When the poor widow dropped the two pennies, all that she had, into the temple offering. Jesus said she gave more the large offerings given. Her “large giving” was in relation to what she had. (Mk.12:41-44)

Many people may plan to give when they receive a great amount of money, but that large amount of money may never come. We may plan to give time or talent to a project when we have more time, but that perfect time arrangement may never happen. Again, the apostle Paul encourages us “as you have opportunity, do good to all men.”

We never know when a little gesture of kindness, with money, or helping in an area of service, spending a little time with a person, a word of encouragement, will be just the action that will be a great help to someone. These can be practical ways of living out the Lord’s challenge to love one another. This is the fulfilling of the many commandments in the Bible: loving people by word and action.

sports Cowgirls come up short in stroke play, Hinson-Tolchard rallies to finish in 32nd Jax Thompson Staff Reporter From advancing comfortably through the regional stage to failing to advance past the NCAA Championship stroke play, the OSU Cowgirls fell victim to the highs and lows of golf.

This year’s NCAA Championships were played on the par-72 Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, for the second year in a row.

The Cowgirls finished second in last year’s NCAA Championship match play finals. OSU entered the weekend ranked No. 6 but didn’t improve on last year’s finish.

OSU put themselves in a hole early, finishing day one at 19-over par, tied for the second worst round of the 24 teams competing. It had better rounds in the next two days, 12-over for both, but were unable to completely recover.

The Cowgirls needed to finish in the top 15 to continue move on to the final round of stroke play.

They ended at 43-over, four strokes back of South Carolina in the final qualifying spot.

Maddison Hinson-Tolchard was the lone bright spot for the Cowgirls, advancing to the final round of stroke play as one of nine individual competitors that qualified along with the top 15 teams.

It was a shaky start to her final round, bogeying three of her first six holes. But she bounced back in the last six, collecting and eagle and a birdie on her way to a solid round of 73, 1-over.

Overall, she finished at 8-over par, and finished tied for 32nd in the individual championship.

Explore LA’s iconic ’60s film and art scene in new memoir about Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward Peter Larsen Orange County Register

When Dennis Hopper met Brooke Hayward on a Broadway stage in 1961, you wouldn’t have expected the two actors to connect, get married and help shape the cultural landscape of Los Angeles in the ’60s.

Hopper was a wild card, a Method actor who’d made his Hollywood debut in “Rebel Without a Cause,” and at 24 had already earned a reputation as a stubborn maverick determined to be an artist in every sense of the word.

Hayward was Hollywood royalty, the daughter of actress Margaret Sullavan and agent-producer Leland Hayward. At 23, the actress was a demure beauty who glided effortlessly through the rarified realms of the show business universe.

Yet, against all odds, their marriage lasted most of the decade that followed, as their Laurel Canyon home became a salon of sorts for cuttingedge visual artists, actors, musicians and assorted others who traveled in those orbits.

“They had Old Hollywood and New Hollywood,” says Mark Rozzo, author of the new book, “Everybody Thought We Were Crazy: Dennis Hopper, Brooke Hayward, and 1960s Los Angeles.”

“The Ferus Gallery artists, the Warhol crew, Ike and Tina Turner…

Gosh, you know, Miles Davis and Terry Southern, and occasionally a Black Panther. And then the Hells Angels show up for

a sleepover, 20 of them with their sleeping bags around the living room.

“Just another day at 1712,” Rozzo says, referencing the address, 1712 North Crescent Heights Drive, where Hayward and Hopper created their home as its own work of art.

Hopper took the lead on the couple’s collection of artwork, Rozzo says, which included early pieces and purchases from then-still-emerging artists such as Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha, Roy Lichtenstein, and Larry Bell. Hayward, in turn, decided where to place them in their home.

“Brooke was the one who was really seeing the totality of what that house could be,” Rozzo says. “It was almost like an art installation in itself. It was like a life-as-art piece.”

The house becomes a third character in his book. Andy Warhol marveled that it was “furnished like an amusement park” when Hopper and Hayward hosted a party for his debut L.A. gallery show. Michael Nesmith of the Monkees remembered it like “a tattoo … just burned into my mind.”

Rozzo says Jane Fonda, who’d been best friends with Hayward since childhood, said she’d always had that kind of “creativity and gumption.” Rozzo says Fonda called it “a magical house.”

Rozzo came to deeply respect and admire what Hopper and Hayward achieved in the cultural milieu through which they moved. He fell head over heels for 1712.

“I loved imagining what that house was like on any given night dur-

ing the ’60s,” he says. “It kind of became the de facto living room for that era, where it seemed like everybody came through at one time or another.”

Finding Brooke Rozzo was drawn to the culture of Los Angeles, and in particular in the ’60s, with “the ardor of the convert,” he says.

“I was kind of a stereotypical East Coast guy – comes to L.A. and likes to drive past Brian Wilson’s house.”

In the ’90s and early 2000s, as a Los Angeles Times book reviewer and musician in indie bands, one of them deeply influenced by the Laurel Canyon music scene, his interests deepened, and a vague idea of a book took hold.

“My thought was really what made L.A. in the ’60s so unique was this concurrent revolutionary ferment in contemporary art, pop music and Hollywood,” he says.

How to tell that story eluded him, though.

However, over the years, signs kept pointing to Brooke Hayward.

Peter Biskind, whose “Easy Riders and Raging Bulls” traced the rise of the New Hollywood, told Rozzo he had to talk with Hayward. A few years later, Rozzo met Marin Hopper, the only child of Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward, who oversees the Hopper Art Trust, which manages the thousands of photographs Hopper took, most of them in the ’60s.

Courtesy of Tribune News Service Smoke and dirt ascends after a strike at a factory in the city of Soledar at the eastern Ukranian region of Donbas on May 24, 2022, on the 90th day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Russian troops move to encircle strategic city in eastern Ukraine Patrick J. McDonnell and Nabih Bulos Los Angeles Times As the conflict in Ukraine enters its fourth month, Russian troops appear to be on the cusp of a breakthrough in the disputed Donbas region, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warning of difficult weeks ahead and accusing Moscow of waging “total war” against his country.

Russian forces have launched a concerted campaign to encircle Severodonetsk — the last major city in Luhansk province and easternmost point of the Donbas still under Ukrainian control — along with its sister city, Lysychansk, just to the south. If successful, the move would trap Ukrainian troops defending the area and open Russia’s path to Kramatorsk, the Ukrainian government’s main administrative and military node in the east.

By Tuesday morning, after days of withering artillery duels along the east-

ern front, Russian troops were reported to have seized portions of Lyman, a town roughly 30 miles west of Severodonetsk, and blitzed into the village of Zolote, about nine miles south of Lysychansk. Those attacks and a Russian stab from north of Severodonetsk form a three-pronged offensive to take the city.

“The intensity of fire on Severodonetsk has increased by multiple times — they are simply destroying the city,” Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said in a TV interview. He echoed Zelenskyy’s overnight address to the nation, which accused Russian forces of “trying to destroy all living things” in the east.

“Literally. Nobody destroyed Donbas as the Russian military does now,” Zelenskyy said.

At the same time, authorities in Mariupol, which Russia now controls in its most significant gain of the war, announced the gruesome discovery of 200 bodies in the basement of a collapsed apartment building, according to The Associated Press. The decimated southern city has endured some of the worst suffering of the war.

Zelenskyy also cited a Russian

missile barrage that struck the village of Desna last week in northern Ukraine, killing 87 people in one of the war’s deadliest single attacks, as he appealed for more arms from the U.S. and other supportive nations.

“Every time we tell our partners that we need modern anti-missile weapons, modern combat aircraft, we are not just making a formal request,” he said.

“We say that our request is the real lives of many people who would not have died if we had received all the weapons we are seeking.”

Other Ukrainian officials also urged a speedup in arms deliveries.

Meanwhile, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Tuesday that Russian airstrikes destroyed a depot in the Donbas used to store U.S.-produced M777 Howitzer artillery shells. Washington has fast-tracked deliveries of the artillery in recent weeks as part of a larger lend-lease program to Ukraine aimed at countering Russia’s invasion.

Even amid the deteriorating military situation in the east, signs of prewar life were returning to other parts

of Ukraine. In Kharkiv, the target of a recently repulsed Russian onslaught that forced authorities to turn the northeastern city’s metro system into a bomb shelter, subways were running again, said Mayor Igor Terekhov on his official Telegram channel.

A sense of normality has also come to the capital, Kyiv, just two months after Russian tanks were massing on its outskirts. Ukrainian forces managed to keep them out, forcing Moscow to withdraw and redeploy its troops to the east, where they are now gaining ground.

Despite the military setbacks in the Donbas, a feeling of triumph seems prevalent in Kyiv as those who fled the city in the early days of the war pour back. In recent days, residents have come out in large numbers to view a public war trophy: the remnants of destroyed Russian tanks and other Russian war paraphernalia put on display in central St. Michael’s Square, in front of the majestic golden-domed church honoring the saint.

Irving Blum’s Ferus Gallery, “She started out by play- where Hopper, at least tempoing hard to get, but as we talked rarily, was the first person to about all this cool stuff, (Claes) purchase one – for the sum of Oldenburg happenings, and $100. hanging out at the Factory, and Hopper and Hayward

While on a swing through Asia this week, Biden signed bipartisan legislation granting an additional $40 billion in assistance to Kyiv. At a summit Tuesday in Tokyo with the leaders of Japan, Australia and India, Biden condemned Russia’s “brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine” for triggering a humanitarian catastrophe.

“We’re navigating a dark hour in our shared history,” Biden said. “The world has to deal with it, and we are.”

“I think what motivated them was just a true passion for everything visual,” Rozzo says.

“They bought all this early stuff

by Ruscha, Warhol, Lichtenstein, (Frank) Stella, Bengston, Bell, and they put it all into this house, where you literally had no idea who would be showing up day to day or night to night might be more like it.

“It could be Jane or Peter Fonda, or even some Hollywood legend like Jennifer Jones,” he says. “It could be Joan Didion or Tina Turner.

“And all these people would see the art on the walls, and just, you know, their jaws would drop. So in this super-intimate way, that art was getting exposed to more people in the most pleasant way imaginable.”

Echoes from the past Hopper and Hayward divorced in April 1969, three months before the release of “Easy Rider,” the landmark movie directed by Hopper. He and Peter Fonda starred in it as two disaffected bikers adrift in America.

Hayward, now 84, is wellrepresented in Rozzo’s book through her words and memo-

ries and those of her children and friends. Hopper, though, died in 2010, making his side of the story more challenging to tell.

But Hopper gave many more interviews during his life than Hayward, and Rozzo says he tapped deep troves for rare material, such as a small trove of radio interviews done by arts journalist Molly Saltman in the late ’60s.

“Those blew me away because they were recorded in the living room at 1712, and it’s at the time of my book’s setting,” Rozzo says. “I would listen to these over and over and trip out on the fact that I was hearing Dennis’s voice bouncing around the walls that I was seeing in the pictures I was poring over.

“He was talking about the art collection and what it meant, and this collaborative relationship that he had with Brooke, and all the antiques she was getting. I just couldn’t believe it.”

The drinking and drugs and erratic behavior that contributed to Hopper’s divorce from Hayward derailed his career for more than a decade despite the success of “Easy Rider.” Hayward eventually sold the 1712 home and moved back to New York City.

The art collection they built together was sold decades ago for a pittance compared to

the multi-million-dollar prices the same or similar works have fetched in recent years.

“I think that the decade of the ’60s continues to throw out these reverberations,” he says.

“And by getting into Dennis and Brooke, I was hoping to tell that story in a new way, with a new palette, and be able to tell it with some emotional resonance.”

In a way, their relationship mirrored the shape of that decade, Rozzo says.

“It did kind of amaze me,” he says. “It went from this sort of youthful idealism to this colorful plateau, and then toward this darker, turbulent unraveling toward the end.”

At one point in his reporting, the 1712 house sold, and Rozzo was able to visit it while it was completely empty for renovations. Empty, except for one thing.

“The only thing on the wall was that wonderful picture that Dennis took in ’65, where Brooke’s standing on the steps of the house, and it’s a beautiful sunny day,” he says.

“Standing there, it’s like you could sense the echoes of that colorful past, and you can barely believe it all actually happened.”
