Season 7 of Love Is Blind featured a love triangle — or rectangle — between Hannah Jiles, Nick Dorka, Leo Braudy and Brittany Wisniewski.
In the pods, Hannah was torn between Nick D. and Leo, initially breaking up with Nick D. because she thought her connection with Leo (who was also seeing Brittany) was stronger.
“I think it was really hard with Leo and Nick because I liked them both and they’re very different,” Hannah told Us Weekly before the show started streaming on Wednesday, October 2. “And so I was like, ‘OK, I think I need to make a decision. … Nick, I think we need to break up. I just think maybe we’re just not compatible.’ And then as soon as I broke up with him I was like, [sobbing face]’ so I was like, ‘Maybe I made the wrong decision.’ I just instantly regretted it and I knew. I chose Nick because I just, like, knew he was my person.”
Nick D., for his part, told Us that he wasn’t surprised that Hannah gave him another shot. “I felt like it wasn’t the last conversation we were gonna have,” he said. “I’m just glad she came around because I was ready to talk to her again.”

After Hannah informed Leo that she was definitely moving forward with Nick D., the art dealer started to spiral and tried to get her to change her mind. The following day, he apologized and then flipped the script — telling Hannah he was always going to pick Brittany and asking her to put in a good word with her housemate. Hannah refused, but Brittany accepted a proposal from Leo regardless.
After one of the most awkward post-pod reveals ever (complete with Brittany going blank when asked what she loved about Leo), it was revealed that the twosome split off camera weeks later.

Since the premiere of Love Is Blind in 2020, fans have wondered how effective the concept of speed-dating without seeing the other person actually is. Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton, who got married on day 40 of the dating experiment, found their happily ever on the show. However, Lauren later admitted that finding The One […]
“I don’t really know if I was surprised or not,” Hannah told Us of their breakup.”I wasn’t in the pods listening to their conversations. I really had no clue how intimate and deep they were. So whether they stayed together for forever [or] they didn’t work out, I didn’t know [what to expect].”
Nick D. had a similar response, noting that “sometimes experiments don’t work.” He and Tyler Francis also defended Leo when learning from Us that it appeared he flaunted his finances and art dealer job on the show.
Telling Us that Leo didn’t talk about money “that much at all” in the men’s quarters, Tyler added: “I actually joked with him. I was like, ‘Hey, Rolex.’ That was it. But it was passed down through his grandparents. That was the only thing that’s ever been talked about.”
So if it wasn’t the obsession over his Rolex, why did Leo and Brittany pull the plug?
“We had this conversation of how things could work out, and we went over our daily schedules and how we would fit into each other’s lives, and then once we got to Miami, we just felt the disconnect,” Brittany told Entertainment Weekly. “One night we had a very mutual conversation of like, ‘OK, clearly some shift is happening here, and maybe we are just good friends.’ There is no bad blood or anything, so nothing crazy happened. I’m very lucky of how that turned out. … Something wasn’t there. And I can’t explain what it is, but we both felt it and we just had a mutual understanding of it and did our best, but we did ultimately move on.”

The closing look of the Dior Men Winter 2024 runway collection was one of many men’s haute couture looks. (SASHA MARRO)
Although haute couture was largely controlled by men since its beginning in the 17th century, it has always been regarded as part of the women’s universe—even if men’s fashion during the time had just about the same level of intricacy as women’s. Haute couture has often been in reference to the elaborate court dresses that only master tailors were allowed to produce for noblewomen, while couturières (female designers) could only work on casual dress.
Haute couture techniques are emphasised more than ever for Winter 2024.(SOPHIE CARRE)
Societal shifts have further segmented fashion terminologies in the present day. Haute couture—while still remaining a male-dominated sector—largely deals with custom pieces for women; the closest male equivalent would be Savile Row’s bespoke tailoring, which, while employing a similar level of custom tailoring, is arguably less labour-intensive and intricate than haute couture.

At Dior Men, artistic director Kim Jones’ constant deep dives into the house’s couture heritage have culminated in his first collection of couture pieces for men. Shown during the Rudolf Nureyev-inspired Winter 2024 runway show, the haute couture pieces closed as nods to the ballet dancer’s more flamboyant persona. Familiar menswear silhouettes that reflect nuances of movement and sport are handcrafted with embroideries (inspired by archive ball gowns) and employ the use of traditional techniques.

A silk crepe kimono closed the show. Worn over a romper, it’s one of a few pieces in the collection that was inspired by Nureyev’s collection of vintage textiles and clothing. The particular piece features embroidered tulle ribbons treated in a gradation of hues that seem to endlessly journey throughout the kimono. A silk organza top using the same application is found in a prior look, its sheerness displaying the detailed artistry as the ribbons appear to float and dance around the torso.

It’s fair to say that while the Winter 2024 collection marks Jones’ first haute couture collection for Dior Men, he’s no stranger to adapting couture techniques in past ready-to-wear collections. It’s difficult not to—Dior’s haute couture heritage runs deep with iconic haute couture creations still being referenced by designers within and beyond the house. And if anyone could make men’s haute couture part of the mainstream, it’s Jones.

Gemini introduces an exciting new feature for Android users, allowing them to share images directly from other apps. With the latest update, users can now easily add visual content alongside text commands. Version 1.0.668480831 of Gemini enables users to import images from Google Photos or other Android apps straight into the Gemini app.
By selecting the Gemini icon from Android’s share menu, users can quickly and conveniently share their pictures. However, this functionality is currently limited to visuals, as links and text cannot be transferred to Gemini.
One-touch picture sharing can be done
Previously, adding an image to Gemini required opening the app, selecting the image from the gallery, and then adding the text prompt. This process could be cumbersome, especially if the image was stored in cloud services or other apps. Now, users can streamline the process by simply tapping the Gemini icon.
However, there is one limitation: this new feature does not work within the overlay interface, requiring users to exit their current applications. While the latest Gemini update improves image sharing efficiency, the restriction with the overlay interface may be inconvenient for some users. Nonetheless, this innovation has significantly enhanced Gemini’s functionality.

X Empire has recently unveiled additional details about its airdrop and introduced a thrilling new phase for players. As the project nears completion of its token distribution, people who have helped build and test the game will be rewarded. Not only is 70% of the token supply earmarked for community distribution, but X Empire also has tacked on an additional 5% “Chill Phase” bonus. Here’s what you need to know about the X Empire criteria and the new opportunities for players before the launch of the token in October.
Primary X Empire Criteria
X Empire has verified that several basic contributions will form the basis of the first part of its airdrop. These primary factors will mainly concern the leading invitees—the number and quality of invited friends. Next up will be the profit per hour of the leading players, followed by the completed quests of these same primary invitees.
The players who have brought in new, current members, increased their own earnings and completed additional in-game tasks this past season is on track to receive a bigger slice of the tokens when they are distributed. This should ensure that the most engaged players and community members get rewards for the time they have put into the game.
Additional Factors
Besides the basic elements, X Empire has added a group of secondary factors to assist in deciding how best to allocate the tokens. How many wallets an entity connects to, the volume of transactions it performs using the TON blockchain, and whether or not it uses Telegram Premium—all these things matter.
While not mandatory, TON transactions—covering both donations and purchases—reflect your support for the project. These contributions have allowed X Empire to grow and expand. Anyone who participated in these activities could see an uptick in their token rewards.
The New ‘Chill Phase’: An Additional 5% Allocation
X Empire has reworked its tokenomics and brought in a new “Chill Phase,” with an extra 5% (34.5 billion $X tokens) allocated for the airdrop. The Chill Phase is a live competition for players, with all in-game characters fresh for a new start. It will run for only a few weeks, and both veterans and newbies will have the opportunity to battle for more airdrop rewards.
Moreover, you don’t have to take part in the Chill Phase, and it won’t impact the 70% of tokens already allocated from the first phase. But for those who do participate, it’s not a bad chance to progress toward earning a share of the tokens still up for grabs. Veteran players can think of it as a chance to get in some seasoning and feel the thrill of progressing quickly. And newcomers to the game have a shot at making themselves relevant and earning some tokens.
Curious about other opportunities? Be sure to check out the top TON airdrops for October to boost your rewards even further.
Conclusion
Thanks to the Chill Phase bonus, a total of 75% of the tokens have now been allocated for the airdrop. X Empire is in the final stage of preparations for its Token Generation Event (TGE). The listing is expected to take place in mid-October. While we don’t know the exact date yet, players should keep an eye out for developments regarding the TGE, which X Empire have said will be announced in the coming days.

The humanoid robot Fourier GR-2 has been making headlines recently. Here are the most important and striking details about this much-discussed topic…
As exciting developments in robotics continue, China-based Fourier Intelligence has advanced its GR series of humanoid robots with the introduction of the GR-2 model. Building on last year’s GR-1, the GR-2 offers substantial improvements both physically and functionally. Standing at 175 cm and weighing 63 kg, the GR-2 is designed to be at eye level with most adults. Unlike the earlier models of the GR-1, which had a slim and skeletal appearance, the GR-2 features a more polished and stylish exterior. Its delicate internal components are now protected by a durable plastic casing.
Humanoid robot Fourier GR-2 is on the agenda
One of the standout features of the GR-2 is its upgraded motors. The actuators, which produced 300 Nm of torque in the GR-1, have been enhanced to 380 Nm in the GR-2, significantly boosting the robot’s lifting capacity. Although Fourier has not fully disclosed the exact capacity, it is speculated that the GR-2 surpasses the GR-1 in this area, as the GR-1 could lift nearly its own weight. Additionally, the GR-2 can walk at a speed of 5 km/h.
One of the GR-2’s most notable innovations is its hands. With 12 degrees of freedom and the ability to sense tactile force, these hands allow the robot to instantly adjust its grip strength by “feeling” the shape and material of the objects it touches. While these electrically powered hands may be slower and less powerful than the hydraulic systems used in other humanoid robots, they have the potential to offer precise and safe handling, especially when paired with advanced artificial intelligence algorithms.
Currently, the GR-2’s hands can carry weights of up to 6 kg. As a result, it is stated that the robot is not designed for industrial tasks like heavy lifting but rather for providing in-home assistance to elderly or disabled individuals. In areas with aging populations or labor shortages, these robots are seen as a significant solution.
The AI systems integrated into the GR-2 offer major advancements in learning and interaction. The robot can be controlled in various ways, including remote control (telepresence), VR commands, or direct manipulation of its limbs. Through a technique called “lead-through programming,” users can physically guide the robot to teach it new tasks.
The GR-2 is compatible with widely-used open-source robotics development software such as ROS, Mujoco, and Nvidia’s Isaac Lab, making it an ideal platform for both commercial and academic research and development projects.
AI-powered humanoid robots are rapidly evolving and seem poised to play a larger role in our daily lives soon. Robots like the GR-2 hold great potential in domestic care and support. However, the biggest challenge remains getting robots to interact with the real world in a safe, effective, and practical manner. Humanoid robots are not yet ready for widespread daily use, but with the fast pace of AI advancements, progress in this area is expected to continue at a similar speed.
