As Swingtown winds down its summer season, it almost feels as if they are trying to clean up as much of the story-lines as possible. Which is no easy feat, given the amount of different plots that are flying around this show. This week, they added even more while continuing the theme of everything going wrong. For everyone.
It's double eviction week on Big Brother 10, which is my favorite week in all the land. I mean, getting two of these annoying people out in one hour's time? Genius!

Harnesses and balance beams a plenty on this week's Greatest American Dog. I have the urge to start chanting "U-S-A" but that might just be my Olympic withdrawal talking...

It's been a long road on Shear Genius, littered with the burned-out shells of some genuinely awful hairstyles, some real talent that just fell short in a pinch. I can say confidently that I called two out of the final three finalists standing after the first episode.
I think you have to be at least a little narcissistic to go on a reality television show. In cases like Project Runway, you also have to be talented. But sometimes, just sometimes, reality television blurs the line between being a little narcissistic and having full blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Tonight may have been one of those nights.
Welcome back to America's Got Talent with elimination/performance night. I'm not entirely sure how this is going to work, but I'm excited nonetheless. I hope my favorite acts from last night stick around, but I didn't cast any votes so I guess I can't be too mad if they are sent home. As long as Ronny B, Britney Spears and the DC Cowboys are all eliminated, I'll be reasonably okay with any combo of five out of the remaining eight acts.
The great thing about shows like Big Brother 10
is that no matter how much the people involved want to rewrite history,
we've got evidence to the contrary. It's kind of beautiful, really.
Greek kicked off a new season tonight with an episode that was obviously supposed to be a tie-in to the recently concluded Beijing Olympics. Except on this show, the Olympics-esque Greek Week was more like the Olympics if everyone involved in creating, judging and participating in the events was completely drunk. U-S-A! U-S-A! (Or should I be saying Z-B-Z?)
The Secret Life of the American Teen teaches us that pizza is the universal constant, that kids are kind of stupid, that adults are even stupider, that no plot point is too outlandish, and that nothing is more humiliating than poverty. Thanks, SLAT!
