'A Model Life': Everyone gets what they deserve

Wow, they're not messing around. After the Model Life recap and title credits they go straight to revealing the fates of our Models-In-Training.

Sisters are doin' it for themselves as we rejoin Who Wants to Be a Superhero? -- at least, Hygena is claiming that with Whip-Snap's dismissal, she's got to represent for all the women that were previously booted. Me, I'd be in it for myself. Remember, we're at the final four. It's not like the guys are helping each other win, or that Hygena would get to bring back Basura and the gang for her comic-book debut, so the sisterhood seems misplaced. More »

Anyone else feeling a real Sopranos kind of vibe from Thursday's episode of Mad Men?

Happy Thursday, Big Brother fans! I can hardly wait to see who gets the boot this week! Jessica is HoH, which made everyone quite jovial, until it came time to nominate people for eviction. Now it's down to either Zach (the ogre) or Amber (the hate-monger), because Eric won the PoV last Tuesday and decided not to use it. Which went over GREAT! And by "great", I mean not!

My love for Friday Night Lights has been amply documented on this blog, so I'll save you a further recitation of why it's the best show on broadcast TV right now, and Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton were robbed of Emmy nominations. Especially now that you can buy the DVD set of the first season, which hit stores Tuesday and my mailbox on Wednesday.

I have to admit, I was a little annoyed at first with the way Last Comic Standing handled its elimination Wednesday night. The five finalists paraded across the stage not once or twice, but three times in the first 15 minutes of the show, and it seemed like more pointless suspense-building, just like on every other live or live-ish results show.

It's time for your Tuesday dose of Big Brother, one of the nights where the contests mean something! Previously on Big Brother: Eric stalls with Jessica (still); Dick and Daniele bicker (more); Jameka and Zach try to sink Dick and Daniele (as usual); America's Player manages to swing the vote (again), and persuades his way into getting Amber nominated for eviction alongside Zach.

Tonight on Eureka, we learned what the show would be like if it were about a secret town full of morons working on government research. Shockingly enough, it seems that such a town wouldn't last very long. We also learned that Stark is way more fun when he's dumb, and Allison is way less hot.

We learn some important things in this week's Saving Grace -- for example, we find out what God looks like, and we discover that Rhetta has apparently cloned herself and is raising the result as her daughter. Seriously, that little girl looked exactly like her. I loved it. The rest of the episode? Eh -- the crime was brutal, and Grace got naked, and Earl tries to get her to stop lying, but really it's Rhetta and her husband and daughter jumping around in the kitchen that sticks.

This episode of The Closer was much better than last week's. Brenda's parents are back home or site-seeing or otherwise off-screen, so Brenda is back to acting like an adult. And the one time she does have a childish hissyfit, it comes back to bite her in the butt. But I am confused about one thing -- how the heck is Pope such a babe magnet? I'm just not seeing it.
