Last week, DeAnna kissed love goodbye when she sent Graham packing. Who will 'The Bachelorette' allow into her, ahem, fantasy suite now? (Euphemism alert!) And, more importantly, does this make Graham the next Bachelor?
Every week The Mole starts by asking us "who is the mole?" Wouldn't it be nice if we could answer "one of the remaining contestants" and walk away with the cash (or a portion thereof)? The more I hear that question asked, the more I think it needs to be reworded.
On tonight's Nashville Star, the contestants get surprise visits from their families during their mentoring sessions with Jeffrey Steele, John Rich and Jewel. And gladly, no group number. Hooray! Unless I missed it in the first minute of the show...but either way, hooray! In it's place, the singers get to do two numbers. That's one extra chance for them to fall on their faces..er...I mean wow us.
This is the first episode of Army Wives written by Nick Thiel, who joined the show this spring, after filming of the second season had already begun, as the series' new showrunner. Anytime a new showrunner comes on board an existing series, you can be sure that he or she is going to want to leave his own stamp on the proceedings.
The idea of the Witness Protection Program is that it's a second chance, and as we've heard Mary tell her witnesses before, bringing stuff from your old life will just mess you up. This week, In Plain Sight explores what happens when you and your wife enter the program and bring a particularly difficult piece of old baggage in with you: your mistress.
Proof that nature is the ultimate reality show reared its ugly head on tonight's Meerkat Manor: The Next Generation. Take dynamic personalities, add interesting challenges in an environment that changes every minute, mixed with the occasional plot twist that's being filmed by conveniently placed cameras... it truly does not get any better than this.
Judge Shane Sparks called this episode "the best" from two seasons of Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew. I don't know if I agree, but it was pretty darn good.
Swingtown has had a few weeks to find its legs, despite the fact that given the subject matter it should be spending more time on its back. Alas, much like Bruce & Susan, it doesn't seem to know what it wants.
Welcome to Las Vegas, where 16 comedians are vying for five spots in the finals of Last Comic Standing. Can the people who were funny in the audition rounds continue to be funny? Can people who were less funny but made it through anyway get funnier?
It was inevitable. So You Think You Can Dance has axed one of my favorite dancers. Giant sigh.
