    Selena Gomez vs. Hailey Bieber: Fans Gone Wild

    Selena Gomez vs. Hailey Bieber: Fans Gone Wild

    Selena Gomez swears there is no rivalry with Hailey Bieber—wife to Justin Bieber, international pop star and ex-boyfriend to Selena—but their respective fans say otherwise. From Jelena to Jailey, from "Love Yourself" to "Lose You to Love Me," and from the Met Gala to, of course, eyebrow-gate, the stars' fans have been reading into every moment of this love triangle and finding evidence for a rivalry for the ages. But is it anything more than fans gone wild? We'll let Delta decide.

    U-Haul vs. U-Haul: Nepotism, Murder, and Boardroom Backstabbing in a Family Business

    U-Haul vs. U-Haul: Nepotism, Murder, and Boardroom Backstabbing in a Family Business

    U-Haul isn't just a classic punchline and lifeline to our trucking dreams—it is also a multibillion-dollar family business. But behind U-Haul's success, the Shoen family was plagued by a Succession-style struggle for power that pitted brother against brother, and father against son. Nepotism, fistfights, and even murder accusations play out at work and in the family—and threaten to bring everything crashing down.

    John James Audubon vs. Charles Waterton: Turkey Vulture Showdown

    John James Audubon vs. Charles Waterton: Turkey Vulture Showdown

    Two dudes with too much money and too much time get into a battle over a bird—the lowly turkey vulture, to be precise. World famous bird-lover John James Audubon (the Audubon Society anyone?) faces off with fellow ornithologist Charles Waterton to prove the other wrong as they obsess about how vultures find their food—by sight or by smell?

    Houdini vs. the Supernatural Swindlers: Exposing Charlatans and Proving Sherlock Holmes Wrong

    Houdini vs. the Supernatural Swindlers: Exposing Charlatans and Proving Sherlock Holmes Wrong

    Ectoplasm isn't from Ghostbusters; it's from spiritualism—the belief that people can communicate with their dead loved ones through mediums—and it came into vogue after the Civil War. But are spiritualists for real, or were they playing tricks? The great illusionist Harry Houdini knew a lot about tricks, and he was obsessed with proving that anyone taking money for talking to spirits is actually just pulling a mean magic trick. When Houdini's good friend, writer and scientist Arthur Conan Doyle, set out to prove Houdini’s legendary escapes were due to help from the spirit world, Houdini would spend the final chapter of his life battling his experiments to expose the phonies and the fakes in this mystical world.

    Riverdance vs. Lord of the Dance: The 90s Irish Dance-Off

    Creative clashes, body oil and two competing shows taking the world by storm—it's not Vegas, it's the evolution of Irish dancing in the 1990s. What started as a one-off performance blossomed into the culture phenomenon Riverdance.
