The Biggest Loser: Week VIII

Teams went single. Interesting three-part challenge, in which Lynn had an advantage, but lost immunity to Rebecca. Will Shay get under four hundred pounds today?

How ironic that Liz should end up against her nemesis, Tracy, for elimination. It almost seems too predictable that Tracy would be sent home, but I think, more than Liz's pathetic plea, Tracy will be sent home because she screwed over too many people.

Heroes: Redemption: Once Upon A Time in Texas

Is Hiro (Masi Oka) going to save Charlie? After one of the most clever plots Heroes has produced since the first season – by going back to the first season and completely changing history, which is to say wasting five seasons watching something that may have never even happened – they can't leave us wondering again. Charlie was right; it was selfish of Hiro to save her and let Sylar ( Zachary Quinto) continue on his path of killing. Ultimately, Charlie accepts Hiro and they live happily ever after.

The Amazing Race: Dubai, United Arab Emirates > Amsterdam, Netherlands

I could not believe Ericka had to count the bells, what was it, four times? Girl! I think I spy with my little eye two publicity whores: Sam and Dan. Ew! Coming out on television, I thought, was tacky. Why should it matter or affect the race one way or another? Puh-lease!

I kinda had a shiver of compassion for Maria & Tiffany. Sorry girls. Recap

The Big Bang Theory

I can't believe they are already showing repeats. It was the one where Leonard's ( Johnny Galecki) girlfriend moves in. I love the way she got Sheldon ( Jim Parsons) to stop talking by feeding into his hypochondria and telling him his larynx is swollen, resulting in him accompanying his knocking on Penny's ( Kaley Cuoco) door with his laptop recorded voice.

Heroes: Redemption: Strange Attractors

Claire (Hayden Panettiere) discovered that someone was trying to kill Gretchen, but also let two more pledge sisters discover her ability. Sylar ( Zachary Quinto) has taken over Parkman's body. Noah (Jack Coleman) had called Tracy (Ali Larter) to help him rescue Jeremy, but Jeremy ended up being brutally murdered as a result of accidentally killing a deputy while in custody. Samuel came to town and smote the police headquarters. Episode Guide.

The Biggest Loser: Week VII

Blue Team won the first challenge and got to chose which Black Team member will face which Blue Team Member at weigh-in.

Black Team won the second challenge and won lunch cooked by Curtis Stone and a two pound advantage which can be given to one player or split between two.

Rudy has broken Dane's record or last season by losing more than 100 pounds in seven weeks. Danny wins immunity for possessing the highest percentage of weight loss. Abby is willing to be sent home. I think Daniel should go home.

The Amazing Race: Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I guess it was not surprise that Meghan and Cheyne took first place this leg, as they had completed the Fast Forward during the last leg, giving them a departure time advantage.

I thought Herbert and Nathaniel were going to be eliminated after so much time was spent trying to figure out the Roadblock, but fortunately for them, Mika could not accomplish the Leap of Faith challenge, allowing Herbert and Nathaniel to advance ahead of them. I wonder if Mika had ever seen the show before. What a wimp!

ROADBLOCK: Row Your Boat
One team member had to row an inflatable dingy to a yacht anchored offshore where they would find a sheik who would present them with a watch following the Arab custom of hospitality. Then, they had to return to the dock and open their briefcase. To do this, teams had to figure out that the time on the watch, 8:35, was the combination to their briefcase. When they opened it, they would find their next clue.

DETOUR: Gold or Glass
Gold: teams had to find a jewelry store where they would use a precision scale to weigh out exactly $500,000 worth of gold. To do this, they had to figure out that needed to divide 500,000 by the gold exchange rate shown on the monitor in the store. However, the exchange rate is constantly changing, so teams had to work quickly in order to weigh out the gold and receive their next clue.

or

Glass: teams made their way to a spice market where they had to choose a crate of disassembled Middle Eastern smoking pipes known as hookahs. Teams had to utilize all of the parts from the crate to assemble twelve hookahs using three displayed hookahs as their guide.

Ugly Betty: Blue on Blue

Connor came back, but once again Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams) declined to go away with him. It appears that Betty (America Ferrera) and Matt (Daniel Eric Gold) will eventually get back together after Betty saw him out on a date with Amanda (Becki Newton) at Marc's (Michael Urie) wielding to take over Betty's job.

FlashForward: Gimmer Some Truth

I am still watching Flash, but losing interest. Ironically, it is when the government steps in that I my interest begins to wane. Episode Guide

So You Think You Can Dance

The top 20 dancers have been chosen. I am going to have to miss next week's episode as SYTYCD is changing to Monday night, when I am normally watching Heroes.

The Biggest Loser: Week VI

Tracy is crying again, stating she can tell from black team's faces that they are surprised to see her; the Black Team previously could not believe the Blue Team's decision to send Coach Mo home. Anyway, Shay says she was just glad Rebecca was still at the ranch. Tracy is back in the gym. The teams are walking out to meet Alison on the beach. Each team has four keys buried in the sand. They need all keys to unlock boxes, which contain prizes of unknown nature. Melinda, Abby and Tracy are sitting out.

Chests are waist deep. Danny is the first to reach his key. Alan is next and goes back to help Rudy, surpassing black team. Daniel gets his key. Liz is next; Blue Team, advantage +1. Blue Team has final case open. Tickets home is the prize. Blue Team asks what's the catch. Alison explains tickets are theirs if they want them, reminding them that they will be away from The Ranch for a week, but one team is going home. Blue Team sends Black Team home. Homecomings, tears welling.

Shay is looking for the organic section of the supermarket; Daniel is eating wisely, Danny is explaining to his daughter that he has to write down everything that he eats and the calories, Dina is jogging alongside her cycling son, Abby(?) is out with some friends.

Black Team experiences difficulties with eating out, except Dan, who cooks at home. Dina is disgusted at her husband's display of her old eating habits. We call that taking someone's inventory.

Bob takes the Blue Team to the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank to do some volunteer work. I find it ironic that they are packing food for people that they will no longer be eating.

At last chance work out, Jillian is frustrated with Daniel. Daniel breaks down, realizing that he thought his mother's love was judgement of his weight and he rebelled to show her.

Daniel gained a pound? I think the break down was an act; I think he ate when he went home and I am pretty sure he will be going home. OMG! I can't believe they sent Dina home. From 253 to 188. Dina is doing so good...and she jumped up on the platform. King Leo is liking her trainer. Dina gets a makeover. She looks great.
