Meet Teeny Chirichillo, South Jersey’s 'Survivor' Contestant

 If you caught last night’s premier you met a 24-year-old from Manahawkin, New Jersey, named Teeny Chirichillo. Teeny is competing on the 47th season of "Survivor." A freelance writer and lifelong fan of the show, Chirichillo is one of 18 contestants facing mental, physical, and social challenges in Fiji. She aims to leverage her strong social game, honed through life experiences, to win the $1 million prize. Chirichillo gravitates toward alliances with women and believes her likability and underestimation will make her the "Sole Survivor." The season premiered on CBS on last night.

"Happy Gilmore 2" Filming Begins in NJ: Sandler Spotted on Set

 Filming has begun for "Happy Gilmore 2" in New Jersey, with Adam Sandler spotted practicing his golf swing by the water. The production will shoot across various counties, with thousands attending an open casting call in Morristown. Steve’s Burgers on Route 46 will feature in the film, adding to the excitement, NFL star Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs will make a cameo appearance in the film. Sandler announced Kelce's involvement during a recent interview.

Experts Split on Size of Fed Rate Cut as Americans Await Relief

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell

 The Federal Reserve is expected to announce its first interest rate cut since 2020, following its Wednesday meeting. Chair Jerome Powell has hinted at easing rates due to slowing inflation and a weaker job market. Financial experts are divided on whether the cut will be a quarter or half percentage point. The impact on consumers may include lower rates for auto loans and credit cards, though mortgage rates and savings interest may remain high. Senators have called for a more significant cut to address unemployment concerns.

Phillies Fall Short in Milwaukee, Clinch Still Just Out of Reach

 The Phillies fell 2-1 to the Brewers, missing a chance to clinch a playoff berth. Despite a strong outing from Aaron Nola, they were held back by missed opportunities at the plate. The Phillies' magic number to clinch remains one, and they head to New York for a four-game series against the Mets, where they could also secure their first NL East title since 2011.
