Serving as a pro for seasons 3-9, Karina took her first mini-break from the ballroom in its 10th season. She then competed in nine consecutive seasons before her next brief hiatus in season 20. At the time, she explained, “I’ve decided to focus my energies on some other exciting endeavors including adding author to my resume.”
She ended up returning for two more outings, but Karina officially left DWTS after season 22.
Since hanging up her dancing shoes, Smirnoff appeared on E!’s Famously Single and returned to professional dancing. In 2017, she opened up about her decision to leave the ABC series, admitting she does “miss the show” and wouldn’t rule out a return.
“I love dancing with celebrities on the show, but it’s a different type of experience. You’re not just their dance partner. You’re their coach, their shrink, their cheerleader,” she told Fox. “But when you perform with your professional partner, they’re as strong as you and it becomes a different type of performance. And I missed that when I wasn’t doing it while I was on the show.”

Jordan Raanan covers the New York Giants for ESPN and can be heard hosting on ESPN Radio. Raanan joined ESPN in 2016.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants coach Brian Daboll is out after the team blew another double-digit lead on Sunday in Chicago, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.
It was the second time this season they lost after leading by at least 10 points with under four minutes remaining. They became just the second team since the NFL merger to do that, joining only the 2004 Seattle Seahawks.
Assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will serve as the Giants’ interim coach, a source told ESPN. Kafka was a finalist for multiple head coaching jobs over the past two years.
Joe Schoen remains the general manager and there are no other changes to the coaching staff at the moment, sources told ESPN.
The Giants (2-8) have won just two of their first 10 games for the third straight year. They are 11-33 since the start of the 2023 season.
Daboll was asked whether he was worried about his job on Sunday with the team at 2-8.
“I’m just focused on these guys in the locker room,” he said.
Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart also suffered a concussion in the Giants’ 24-20 loss Sunday. That was the fourth time Dart has been evaluated for a concussion this year, including the preseason.
Daboll won Coach of the Year in his first season with the Giants when they surprisingly went 9-7-1 and won a playoff game in Minnesota. It has fallen apart ever since, even though Daboll was considered to be the driving force behind drafting Dart. The first-round pick has accounted for 17 total touchdowns in his first seven starts.
But the Giants still weren’t winning games, and they were blowing leads in unprecedented fashion. New York held double-digit leads in four road games that ended in losses.
Daboll was 20-40-1 as the Giants’ head coach. His .336 winning percentage puts him behind the likes of Ben McAdoo and Ray Perkins.
The hot-headed coach had a rocky four years with the Giants filled with incidents that included a bad-blooded split with defensive coordinator Wink Martindale after the ’23 season and a $100,000 fine for approaching the blue medical tent while Dart was being examined for a concussion earlier this year.
Along the way Schoen had to, at one point, monitor the coaching headsets to evaluate the coach’s communication. Daboll also flipped a tablet at former quarterback Daniel Jones and turned over a good chunk of his staff over the past two years.
Daboll and Schoen were brought back after the team went 3-14 last season. But they were eventually put on the hot seat when owner John Mara said after the season that he expected better results.
“I’m aware of how many games we’ve won, and obviously the results are not even close to what we want them to be,” Mara said at the time. “They’re going to have to get better if we’re going to move on to Year [5].”
Daboll was hired in 2022 after serving four years as the coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, where he spearheaded the development of quarterback Josh Allen. He spent a large chunk of his career with multiple stints as an assistant under Bill Belichick in New England.
The second launch of Blue Origin’s partially reusable New Glenn rocket was scrubbed on Sunday due to adverse weather conditions, delaying NASA’s latest Mars mission. The Jeff Bezos-owned commercial space company announced that its next launch window from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida will be attempted “no earlier” than Wednesday, November 12th, between 2:50PM and 4:17PM ET.
This is a significant launch for the 320-foot-tall megarocket, which is tasked with sending NASA’s twin ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) probes into space — the first Mars-bound mission since NASA launched its Perseverance and Ingenuity vehicles in 2020 to explore the red planet’s surface. The ESCAPADE satellites are projected to reach Mars orbit in 2027, where they will measure the planet’s magnetic field and atmosphere.
This will also be Blue Origin’s latest attempt to land New Glenn’s reusable first-stage booster, which, much like SpaceX’s Falcon rocket boosters, is designed to vertically touch down on a sea-based platform following launch. While Blue Origin successfully launched New Glenn for the first time in January after several delays, the booster was lost during its landing descent. A successful launch and landing would help Blue Origin to prove itself as a deep-space launch provider that’s capable of competing with established rivals like SpaceX and United Launch Alliance.
Blue Origin says it worked with the Federal Aviation Administration to select its latest launch window, having seemingly been given an exemption to new FAA rules that prohibit commercial rockets from being launched between 6AM and 10PM. This emergency order came into effect on November 10th to alleviate air traffic congestion during the ongoing government shutdown. If all goes to plan, the live webcast for New Glenn’s second flight will start 20 minutes prior to launch on Wednesday.
Explaining why she regularly paid tribute to McLoughlin’s abs and arms along with the rest of him, Lambert said in 2023 that she was simply doing the world a service.
“I believe that my job, given my [musical] gift, is take songs to the people,” she told Fox News Digital at Clive Davis‘ Pre-Grammy Gala that February, “so if you’re given this gift you should take that to the people.”
“This is Brendan’s second Grammys,” Lambert noted of their fancy-date weekend in 2023. But with the 2021 Grammys being held outside, she continued, “the one he came to before two years ago was still a little bit weird. So this will be the first normal Grammys that he’s been to with me.”
Though she was nominated for four awards, the Palomino artist said she wasn’t performing, “so this is our night to sit back and watch the show.”
Asked what the key to being each other’s forever-seatmate was, McLoughlin said, “If you can actually just sit on the couch and discuss what’s on your mind and what’s in your heart, makes everything so much easier.”
But Lambert wouldn’t want to sit with just anybody.
“It’s nice to have a partner in that, someone by your side that supports you, loves you and believes in you,” she told People. “He loves me for me. It’s a really cool thing to have in my life.”

While most petty posts in the NFL focus on the week’s opponent, the New York Jets took it to another level in Week 10.
New York recorded its second consecutive victory after defeating the Cleveland Browns27-20 at home.
The Jets’ offense only gained 169 yards, but managed to pull away after a 42-yard catch and run from running back Breece Hall early in the fourth quarter. New York then forced a turnover on downs and kicked a field goal to go up 10 with 6:13 remaining in the game. The 42 net passing yards marked the Jets’ fewest in a win since 1973, according to ESPN Research.
On Oct. 26, New York took down the Cincinnati Bengals for its first win of the season. The Jets followed that up with a victory over another Ohio-based team. They decided to poke fun at the entire state in a postgame troll.
Chicago faced a 20-10 deficit with 10:19 remaining in the game but then outscored New York 14-0 the rest of the way. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams accounted for both touchdowns — first connecting with wide receiver Rome Odunze for a two-yard score, then rushing 17 yards for the other. The Giants have blown four double-digit leads this season, already their most in a season since 2015.
While posting a video of Bears safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson hyping up the win, Chicago captioned it: “Start spreading the news,” lyrics from Frank Sinatra’s “Theme From New York, New York.”
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye threw for 270 yards and two scores, while rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson had 147 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had 273 passing yards and three touchdowns.
The matchup was jokingly deemed “The Brady Bowl,” with Tom Brady having played for both franchises during his 23-year playing career (20 for the Patriots, three for the Buccaneers). However, New England got the last laugh, emphasizing its win in the bowl game.
Taylor ran for 244 yards and three touchdowns, his fourth game this season with at least three rushing touchdowns — tied for the second most such games in a season in NFL history. It also marked his third career game with 200 rushing yards and at least two touchdowns, tied for the second most in NFL history.
The Colts had a simple troll aimed at the Falcons, posting a photo of a floating bird feather along with the score of the game.
Seattle jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter before going up 35-0 with 8:33 in the second. It marked the third time this season the Seahawks scored 30-plus points in the opening half of a game, tied for the most by any team in a season since the 1970 merger. Seattle also recovered two fumbles for a touchdown, both by defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence.
The victory moved the Seahawks to 2-0 against their division rivals this season. They acknowledged the sweep of the Cardinals with a déjà vu caption on one post, and graphic crossing off “Beat the Cardinals” on a to-do list in another. Seattle also posted a comic of cornerback Devon Witherspoon taking down the Cardinals’ mascot, Big Red.
Los Angeles scored a touchdown on each of its first three possessions. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 280 yards and four touchdowns, while running back Kyren Williams ran for 73 yards and two scores.
These two teams previously met in Week 5, which resulted in an overtime victory and troll from the 49ers. This time, Los Angeles returned the favor, targeting San Francisco’s mascot, Sourdough Sam. The Rams posted a graphic of Sam reminiscent of a popular meme of a tired Popeyes worker. Next to Sam was sourdough slices with “L” on it with the post’s caption reading: “winner winner chicken dinner.”
Detroit put up 546 total yards of offense and had its eighth game of 40-plus points since the start of last season, the most in the NFL. Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs led the way with 172 total yards and three touchdowns — he is the sixth player in Lions history with multiple games of at least three scrimmage touchdowns.
The big win came with a simple troll aimed at the Commanders on social media as the Lions wrote in their caption: “Commanding W.”
Then it’s the big game of the day, with Manchester City looking to close the gap on leaders Arsenal against defending champions Liverpool, who have struggled of late in the league.
Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 105, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, hope you’ve recovered from the clocks falling back, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)
I also have for you a very exciting new line of smart home stuff, a new Apple TV show worth watching, a great update to a great Android launcher, an app for your AirPods, and much more.
Also, quick housekeeping note: no Installer next week. We’ll be back in two weeks with some fun pre-Black Friday stuff, in addition to everything else. In the meantime, lots to do this week. Let’s go.
(As always, the best part of Installer is your ideas and tips. What have you been reading / watching / playing / listening to / turning into cider this week? Tell me everything: installer@theverge.com. And if you know someone else who might enjoy Installer, forward it to them and tell them to subscribe here.)
Ikea Bilresa. If anyone is going to really democratize the idea of the smart home, it’s Ikea. I am into most of the nearly two dozen Matter-compatible things the company announced this week, from lights to sensors to controllers, but the super customizable Bilresa buttons and remotes won me over immediately. They’re not on sale yet, but I’m putting them here now because I think they’re gonna be worth waiting for.
Predator: Badlands. Whenever a movie gets reviews that are like, “It’s well-made and a great time but it’s not exactly High Art,” I confess I immediately get excited. Give me more dumb fun! This appears to be a little dumb and a lot of fun. I’m in.
Pluribus. “Created by Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul” is literally all the pitch this show requires for me. But the fact that it’s a sci-fi show — about a world in which everyone is a little too happy — makes it even more exciting.
Sora for Android. The Sora hype continues! Honestly I’m getting tired of seeing AI-generated stuff all over my social feeds, but I keep hearing from folks who love making videos of themselves in all sorts of funny situations. Now that it’s on Android, too, maybe everything can stay in the app and off my Instagram feed? Please?
Europa Universalis V. I didn’t know anything about this game, or even this series, until this week. But a massive, world-conquering strategy game is extremely up my alley. I almost lost a lot of friends over Risk games… I wonder how this’ll go.
Shuffalo. A new daily game from The New Yorker in which you have to make progressively longer words with progressively more letters. Scratches my Bananagrams-loving brain so nicely.
Niagara Launcher’s Artistic Update. Niagara remains my favorite Android launcher, and I really like the direction this update takes the product: The team tapped a bunch of great artists to make not just cool wallpapers but whole themes that reimagine everything about your device. Also, the new dark icon pack? Gorgeous.
BeeBot. Super clever new app from Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley, which he refers to as “Waze meets Gossip Girl.” Basically, it’s an audio-only app that will pipe up in your headphones and periodically tell you about what’s happening nearby.
WhatsApp for Apple Watch. This, plus the recent iPad app, suggests to me that WhatsApp is really pushing hard to become your default messaging service across all devices and platforms. For me it’s mostly a group chat platform, but I’m pumped to be able to do tapback reactions from my wrist.
Operation Space Station. The first of this two-part PBS series on the International Space Station is, in a word, epic. I always figured building a city in space would be hard, and I had no idea. This is way more dramatic than any space movie.
Ryder Carroll, the creator of the Bullet Journal Method, is one of my favorite thinkers on the web. He’s done such a good job of not just having Big Theories About Productivity, but actually building systems to put them into practice. I’ve tried to go full-analog Bullet Journal before, but have ultimately settled for just adapting a lot of his principles into whatever note-taking app I’m using.
I’ve been wanting to have Ryder in Installer for a while, but was never able to make it work. But then! He recently posted a great video about how he thinks about his phone, and how he has set it up to be exactly what he wants and nothing more.
There’s a lot to learn from what Ryder’s done here, so for the first time in this space I’m just going to deconstruct someone’s setup for them. Here’s Ryder’s homescreen:
The phone: iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The wallpaper: Solid black.
The apps: Blank Spaces. We’ve talked about this launcher — and others like it, such as Dumb Phone — before, but it’s basically an iOS widget designed to replace your entire homescreen with big, text-based app launchers. (Fair warning: it costs $4 a month, or $24 lifetime.) Ryder’s using a pretty simple version of Blank, but it has a huge amount of built-in customization options.
I don’t want to spoil his whole video, which is full of good thoughts and tips, but I want to highlight a couple of things Ryder did to his phone that I’ve also done, and heard from you works well too:
Get colorless. I never managed to stick to a full grayscale phone like Ryder has, but switching to an all-black wallpaper and ditching as many app icons as possible in favor of simple, productive widgets has been a huge help.
Delete all algorithmic apps. I could quibble forever with the precise definition here, but I support the theory of getting rid of anything designed to keep your attention as long as possible.
Use Focus modes. I like the way he thinks about these modes, especially in combination with the very simple verb-based homescreen he built. He has Focus modes that shift throughout the day, as a way to unsubtly dictate what he ought to be doing right now. I love this.
Even if you’re ultimately not worried about your relationship with your phone, or don’t want to do the work to get a setup like this, I really do recommend periodically just blowing up your whole system. Going through this, Ryder discovered the same thing I have over and over: that if you’re not careful, you’ll end up looking down for more time, and at the wrong things, than you think.
Here’s what the Installer community is into this week. I want to know what you’re into right now as well! Email installer@theverge.com or message me on Signal — @davidpierce.11 — with your recommendations for anything and everything, and we’ll feature some of our favorites here every week.

“Stephen King’s son wrote an 800 page book called King Sorrow that is (reductively) Millennial It. The title is a conjured dragon that embodies the very notion of evil. But it’s also a play on the author’s famous father, and his half-century of work. I’d say read it, but don’t do that: go audiobook!” — Chris
“I’ve been using Today’s Budget for the past month and it fundamentally changed how I view my finances. Created by just two people, the app answers a simple question that no other app can easily answer: How much can you actually spend today?” — Win
“Hi! I’ve been exploring the n8n platform for automating (not only) tasks. I’ve built an automation which sends me D&B events everyday. I was pleasantly surprised how powerful n8n is!” — Dima
“I can recommend the game Dispatch, some described it as a game where you cannot fail. It’s similar to Telltale, where you choose the dialog and do some mini games. Reminds me of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.” — Bogdan
“Staccs is literally mind-bending. It’s a super lightweight matching card game (think Uno) that has just enough complexity to keep every game interesting but still accessible enough for younger kids. But what sets Staccs apart is the visual design. It’s my favorite kind of card game: small package, amazing design, endlessly replayable, great for kids and adults.” — Bone
“Anyone with even a passing interest in cooking needs to follow Frank Prisinzano (I follow on instagram but he’s all over). Start learning his methods (not recipes) and start changing your life!” — Scott
“If you haven’t watched Pantheon on Netflix, it’s worth it.” — Michael
“I recently got a Mac Studio and set up Tailscale and Jellyfin to get access to all of my (legally obtained) media from anywhere across the world. Tailscale creates a direct and private VPN to your devices. Jellyfin is a much better open source alternative to Plex. The Mac Studio’s fast processor can transcode the video to lower resolutions on the fly. It all works well together.” — Xyan
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I love bad Christmas movies. (I was going to call it a guilty pleasure, but I don’t feel one tiny bit of guilt about it.) Hotshot executive from the big city goes back to her hometown, finds love and the spirit of the holidays? Yes please, every time, a thousand times a year.
Anyway this year is shaping up to be a pretty special one on the holiday movie front. And if you care as much as I do, you should bookmark this TVLine story that lists every single one coming over the next couple months, sorted by streaming platform. Did you know there’s a Jonas Brothers movie coming next week?!?! Happy holidays indeed.

Clare Bronfman, a daughter of late business mogul Edgar Bronfman Sr. and heiress to the Seagrams liquor fortune, was accused of financing what turned out to be illegal conduct after meeting Raniere in 2002 and becoming, first, a NXIVM acolyte, and ultimately a board member, as well as Raniere’s benefactor and legal advocate who allegedly financed lawsuits on his behalf against perceived enemies.
In 2003, Bronfman’s father estimated to Forbes that she had loaned NXIVM $2 million, which she denied at the time. “I think it’s a cult,” said Bronfman Sr., who died in 2013.
On April 19, 2019, Bronfman pleaded guilty to conspiring to conceal and harbor an undocumented immigrant for financial gain, and fraudulent use of identification for helping Raniere use a deceased person’s credit card. Part of her sentence called for her to forfeit $6 million.
“I am truly remorseful,” Bronfman told U.S. District Court Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis. “I endeavored to do good in the world and help people—however, I have made mistakes.”
She was sentenced on Sept. 30, 2020, to 81 months in prison. Explaining the hefty penalty, Garaufis stated that he was “troubled by evidence suggesting that Ms. Bronfman repeatedly and consistently leveraged her wealth and social status as a means of intimidating, controlling and punishing” people who had left NXIVM or were perceived to be its adversaries.
Bronfman was released from prison into a halfway house in May 2024, per the Albany Times-Union.
