“Yikes she’s awkward #BeatTheChasers,” another tweeted. 

“This contestant Beth is making Bradley feel old I think. Awkward banter #BeatTheChasers,” a third added.

Someone else said: “Beth was pretty cool. Loved her dry humour. Bested Bradley in that dept! #BeatTheChasers.”

“I actually quite liked Beth and her humour, definitely unlucky there #BeatTheChasers,” a fifth added.

Beth took on three of the Chasers for the chance to win £10,000 but was defeated. 

Beat the Chasers returns to ITV on Sunday at 9pm.

RELATED STORIES

After playing it safe for two months straight, the Big Brother All-Stars had a chance on Thursday to — as Enzo might say — make a move, yo.

Following their attempt to oust Nicole during last week’s triple eviction, Tyler and Christmas found themselves on the chopping block, with Christmas initially pulling ahead as Head of Household Cody’s main target. But after Cody won the Power of Veto and kept his nominations intact, a tempting opportunity arose to instead get rid of Tyler: a former runner-up (who very nearly won BB20), a major competitive threat and a potentially unbeatable player in any Final Two configuration.

But did Tyler’s fellow houseguests seize the chance to evict him? Or did they boot Christmas instead? Read on for the episode highlights:

THE STRATEGY | Even though Tyler and Christmas are the ones at risk of eviction, much of Thursday’s pre-taped footage is dedicated to… Memphis. Since he has a Wise Guys alliance with Christmas and Enzo, Memphis wants Christmas to stay this week, but he doesn’t want Cody to know that he wants Christmas to stay. But Cody’s already aware of the second Wise Guys alliance, and he knows he can’t trust anything Memphis says; later, Cody and Enzo stress out about Memphis potentially turning on them if Christmas stays in the house, and they seem to strongly consider evicting her over Tyler.

Meanwhile, we check in with the jury house for the first time, and it’s a real downer! Ian is bummed to see Da’Vonne arrive, they’re both bummed to see Kevin show up, and then they’re all bummed to see David and Dani walk in just moments later. (Well, Ian’s probably OK with Dani’s game getting cut short, considering how they left things.) Perhaps no one is more frustrated than Dani, though, who admits she’s been crying quite a bit since her eviction, and she feels more betrayed now than she ever has on Big Brother. (That said, she doesn’t seem to hold it against Cody, who would likely still get her vote if he makes it to the end.)

THE EVICTION | When it comes time for the vote, Julie Chen Moonves tries to assure us “it’s anyone’s guess” who will get eliminated… but just like every other eviction this season, it’s very much a done deal. Tyler is evicted by a vote of 3-0, and he’s in good spirits about it: “Well, it was worth a shot!” he laughs, referencing his pre-eviction speech in which he tried to convince the houseguests that keeping Christmas would be bad for their games. But later, with Julie, he admits that his fellow players “for sure” made the right move by knocking him out of the game.

THE HOH COMPETITION | Continuing this season’s trend of incomplete HOH competitions, here’s another one that extends past the broadcast’s runtime. Each player has a basket full of differently sized pumpkins — well, differently sized kickballs with pumpkin faces on them — and must walk the pumpkins one at a time across a precarious seesaw, setting them in the wicker basket at the other end.

But if any pumpkins fall out of the basket, or a houseguest falls off the seesaw, they must put all their pumpkins back in the bin and start from scratch. “This is going to be hard,” Christmas comments as the competition gets underway… and with everyone struggling to keep even a single pumpkin balanced in that wicker basket as the episode ends, I’d say she’s right.

Your turn! How do you feel about Tyler’s eviction? And who do you want to see win Head of Household? Tell us in the comments below!

Romelu Lukaku will not win the World Cup Golden Boot after being subbed off in the 61st minute of Belgium’s 3rd place playoff versus England. The striker was two goals behind Three Lions captain Harry Kane on four goals.

The Manchester United striker, 25, had begun the day in touching distance of Tottenham striker Kane, who has six at the top of the pile. But with Belgium leading 1-0 through an early Thomas Meunier goal, Lukaku was subbed off just after the hour mark.

The frontman failed to find the net in that time, despite having his moments in front of goal, including being put through by playmaker Kevin de Bruyne, who was perhaps the most influential player on the pitch. 

French pair Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe are the only players who have any remote chance of catching Kane now, but the two would need to score a hat-trick in Sunday’s final versus Croatia to match Kane from thier current total of three goals.

The only player to ever achieve that feat was England’s Geoff Hurst versus West Germany in 1966, the year The Three Lions clinched the tournament with a 4-2 final victory.

Carolyn Radford, CEO of Mansfield Town Football Club

As one of only a handful of female CEOs in professional football I know how hard it can be to make a name for yourself in an industry that’s rife with outdated attitudes.

When I took the job at Mansfield Town FC seven years ago I knew football was a male-dominated world. However I had no idea just how much sexism I would come up against.

But the truth is the world of professional football would be a much better place if more women were involved in the industry.

Which was why I was so disappointed when I heard former Chelsea footballer Jason Cundy’s comments about female commentators last week. In an interview on Good Morning Britain, Jason said he preferred listening to a male football commentator as women’s voices were too high-pitched.

I was incensed. I think it’s fantastic that Vicki Sparks is the first woman to be doing live TV commentary at the World Cup.

And it’s encouraging to see female pundits alongside the usual faces during match analysis too.

Unfortunately I have faced many similarly derogatory and sexist remarks in my own career. When I started at Mansfield nobody was interested in my qualifications or passion for the sport. People just saw a blonde who liked fashion and assumed I would be useless.

At the time the club was a mess.

The team had been relegated to the Conference league and the finances were a disaster, not least because there were minor accounting problems.

In my early days I was probably guilty of being a bit bullish as I tried to prove myself.

I would turn up for work looking like an extra from Dynasty in a 1980s-style power suit and giant heels. I didn’t hesitate to have a clear-out of staff because I wanted to have a fresh start with a new team.

Needless to say I didn’t get a warm reception. When we played away games I was an instant target for the fans because I was a woman and they would chant all manner of abuse at me.

I didn’t just want to prove I could do the job, I felt I had to prove myself on behalf of all the women who might come into the industry.

Carolyn Radford

Even at Mansfield I felt I had to work twice as hard as a man would have done for people to take me seriously. I didn’t just want to prove I could do the job, I felt I had to prove myself on behalf of all the women who might come into the industry.

But the longer I stayed in the job, the more people started to believe in me. In 2013 we were promoted to League Two and we narrowly missed the play-offs this year to be promoted again.

I’m confident that we’ll be promoted next season to League One.

Our finances have turned around. Now we’re breaking even and the ground is unrecognisable with a new bar, and a Hilton hotel on the way.

Matt Sprake

Since I became CEO a few more women have come into the industry

As time has gone on I’ve learnt I don’t need to put on a front to do my job. In fact I think sometimes football needs a woman’s more nurturing influence.

In a room full of men and testosterone, decisions can be made that are quite impulsive.

In my experience, women tend to be more cautious and think things through rationally. Women also tend to be good at managing relationships with people, which can be vital in football.

If a player on our team misses a goal or doesn’t perform as well as usual, it helps to understand how they feel and what’s going on underneath the surface.

GETTY

Katrien Meire, chief executive of Sheffield Wednesday

Now I have no problem showing my feminine side and I’ve banished the trouser suits and shoulder pads in favour of floaty dresses.

Since I became CEO a few more women have come into the industry.

I’m good friends with Katrien Meire, who’s the chief executive of Sheffield Wednesday, and it’s nice to have a female ally among the hundreds of men. But I hope even more women come into the sport. I’d like to see women not only taking on boardroom roles but managing the men’s teams too.

There’s no reason a woman can’t do just as good a job as a man at managing a football team. I can see us having a female manager at Mansfield in future.

GETTY

Ex footballer Jason Cundy

For a long time if someone said something unpleasant to me I wouldn’t bite back because I was worried I would upset someone.

But now if someone attempts to belittle me for being a woman in a male-dominated industry I will speak up because I know I am more than capable of doing my job.

While Jason’s comments reflect the outdated views of some men I have dealt with in football I have seen a wave of changing attitudes in the past year and very much hope this will continue.

Liverpool went into their showdown with Brighton knowing a point would seal a top-four finish ahead of Chelsea thanks to their superior goal-difference.

And Salah was on hand to calm any nerves at Anfield mid-way through the first half when he smartly slotted the ball past the stranded Maty Ryan.

That goal was the Egyptian’s 32nd of the season and he now holds the record for the most strikes in a 38-game Premier League campaign.

Salah’s milestone-goal set to the tone from there on in as Dejan Lovren doubled Liverpool‘s lead minutes before the break.

Dominic Solanke, who started up front for Jurgen Klopp’s side, ended the contest by scoring his first Liverpool goal from Salah’s assist in the 53rd minute, with Andrew Robertson adding a fourth late on.

Liverpool’s comfortable win saw them move on to 75 points and that meant Chelsea‘s result – a 3-0 loss to Newcastle – was inconsequential to them.

Klopp’s men can now look forward to back-to-back seasons of Champions League football for the first time since 2010.

Liverpool were forced to settle for fourth place after Tottenham’s thrilling 5-4 win over Leicester at Wembley moved them on to 77 points.

But Klopp’s side will care not a jot with silverware still in their sights as a hugely promising 2017/18 campaign draws to a close.

Liverpool travel to Kiev on Saturday May 26 to face Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

And they will do so confident that Salah can do the business for them as he chases down Ian Rush’s club-record of 47 goals in a season.

Alan Shearer, who previously shared the record for goals in a 38-game Premier League campaign with Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez, paid tribute to Salah after his strike against Brighton.

“Congratulations @MoSalah on the new goal-scoring record,” the Newcastle legend wrote on Twitter. “I enjoyed it while it lasted.”

“What the boys have done this season is unbelievable,” Klopp said.

“So many injuries to key players. You saw today Lallana came on, we missed him the whole year, I can’t believe it, how we could achieve something like this without a player like him.

“Milner couldn’t play today, and Hendo and Gini have 9,000 games in their legs, the three up front try everything, Dom Solanke without match time doing things like this.

“It’s an unbelievable achievement. I am really proud of the boys.

“A nearly perfect season for us. We have had no chance to challenge Man City so then all you can really go for is a Champions League spot.”

The National Transportation Safety Board announced Thursday that it has revoked Tesla’s status as a party to its investigation of a fatal Model X crash in Mountain View, California last month.

Being a party to an investigation allows a company to fully participate in the investigation process, sharing information with the agency and viewing information uncovered by NTSB while the investigation is still ongoing. For example, Uber is working with the NTSB to investigate the cause of last month’s fatal self-driving car crash in Tempe, Arizona.

But parties must agree to respect the confidentiality of the process while it’s underway, and the agency says that Tesla has broken that agreement with recent comments about the Mountain View crash. In a statement this week to Silicon Valley television station ABC 7, for example, Tesla argued that the crash occurred because driver Walter Huang “was not paying attention to the road.”

“It is wrong when servicemen in military units claim that their favorite drink is Coca Cola and their favorite candy is Snickers. This situation is our target,” the general director of Voentorg, Vladimir Pavlov, was quoted as saying by TASS.

“So far we are not targeting Coca Cola, but we do target chocolate bars. I hope we will be able to do all of this in the nearest future,” he added. Pavlov also said that his company was working to seriously expand the network of about 2,000 vending machines selling food and drinks that are installed at military bases throughout Russia.

Russian officials have repeatedly drawn public attention to the health risks linked to regular consumption of junk food, and on several occasions have attempted to introduce laws that would help to reduce the threat.

In mid-2015, parliamentary majority party United Russia prepared a bill introducing restrictions on advertising foodstuff with high sugar, salt and saturated fat content. If passed into law, the bill would essentially equate the advertising of junk food with the promotion of alcohol and tobacco.

However, the motion received a negative assessment from the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service and the Health Ministry, whose representatives claimed that such a measure would undermine the budget of the approaching 2018 FIFA World Cup, of which the Coca Cola Company is one of the official sponsors. 

In 2016, lawmakers from the center-left party Fair Russia asked the government to introduce graphic warning labels on fast food packaging, claiming that the step could prevent the spread of obesity and improve the general health of the population. The request has so far not been fulfilled.
