Big Brother 7: Week 1

Things are moving right along in the Big Brother house as the Power of Veto challenge was held on Friday. Both Co-HOHs Janelle and Jase competed as well as the nominees Alison and Danielle. It seems that this season the nominees will not be able to choose those who will compete in the POV. This time a roulette type wheel was used and determined that Kaysar and George would round out the competitors for the POV competition. After a long break, the houseguests returned from the backyard after what appeared to be a POV that had to do with smelly fish and cages. Janelle was the victor and wearing the POV necklace.

On Sunday the Power of Veto ceremony was held, as expected Janelle did not use the POV and kept the nominations the same. At this point it sounds like Alison will be getting evicted on Thursday night due to a house consensus. As for strategy talk, there is no real alliance forming and scheming as of yet. Everyone wants to go after the four from season 6 but are not unified and sure about how to accomplish this yet. Will and "Boogie" are other popular targets while Howie has gotten his feathers ruffled by Nakomis and wants to get her out next. Danielle and "Chicken" George seem to not be safe for the near future either. It all really depends on who the next heads of household are as the whole BB7 group is laying low for the time being.

Tuesday's episode on CBS pretty much was just confirmation of what the live feeds told us with the one exception of the scary slip 'n slide activity. As always CBS showed the vote as going to either Alison or Danielle while the feeds show that it was very heavily favoring Alison and have not balanced out to more of an indecision. it looks like 5 will be voting to keep Alison (Diane, Nakomis, George, Boogie and Will) and 5 will be voting to keep Danielle (Kaysar, James, Howie, Erika, and Marcellas). They have been told since there are two HOHs that a tie vote will be broken by the POV holder which is Janelle anyway. This whole plan hinges on Marcellas getting over his bitterness toward Danielle and actually casting a vote to keep her. Janelle is promising Marcellas the world as she is very threatened by Alison.

Wednesday update: Voting was completed this morning and it looks like it might be a 9-1 vote to get Alison out. Everyone got tired of her campaigning and saw Janelle would break the tie get Alsion out anyway. So now all is calm until the next HOH is decided.

Big Brother 7: Premiere

The seventh edition of Big Brother is officially underway. All 14 houseguests were correctly revealed in the audio leak from earlier in the week. Speculation is that CBS had a hand in the leak in order to create some early buzz. At this point I would certainly hope that is the case since these flubs are happening quite frequently.

One thing that was actually surprising was both the HOH competition and nominations were revealed on tonight's premiere broadcast. Usually Big Brother drags out the first nominations and eviction for a couple of weeks but its nice to know they are getting right to business. Janelle and Jase won Co-Head of Household which seems to be a permanent twist at least for the early weeks. Janelle and Jase had to agree on the nominations or else they would both be put up for elimination. Danielle and Alison were the two that tried to convince Jase to disagree with Janelle in order to get Janelle out of the house. That plan back fired as Danielle and Alison were put on the block.

The Power of Veto competition and ceremony will likely be held over the weekend as well as any food or luxury competitions. Check back to Queen TV for the latest on competition spoilers, voting/alliance talk or anything juicy that may happen on the live feeds because until CBS shows it, they are all spoilers!

Big Brother Houseguests Leaked?

CBS has done it again! Knowing that the selected houseguests moved in to the Big Brother house on July 3, those with live feed subscriptions have been watching the default screen for any indication of who is living in the Big Brother house. Well, the audio had apparently been switched on today for a while and here is the list of the 14 houseguests that are in the Big Brother house. Unfortunately there is no indication of who was voted in or who the producers chose.

BB1: George
BB2: Mike, Will
BB3: Danielle, Marcellas
BB4: Alison, Erika
BB5: Diane, Jase, Nakomis
BB6: Howie, James, Janelle, Kaysar

Also, there are indications that both Janelle and Jase are currently head of household. They need to agree on who to nominate or else they will become the nominees. No word on how the pair became head of household but it is unlikely that a competition has taken place so early in the game. Perhaps they are the highest male and female votes and the prize for winning "America's Choice" is HOH for the first week. Personally, I am very happy with the selection of houseguests for BB7 and I can't wait for the official premiere on Thursday.

Amazing Race 10 Spoilers

Now that the fall edition of the race has completed filming, the picture is pretty clear on what the spoilers are. The following is the best guess for episode by episode race route information. Location spoilers are usually very accurate but the order can change and I'll update if that is the case.

Episode 1: Race begins in Seattle goes to Beijing
Episode 2: Beijing
Episode 3: Terelj, Mongolia
Episode 4: Devonport, New Zealand
Episode 5: Queenstown, New Zealand
Episode 6: Singapore to Vietnam
Episode 7: Kuwait City, Kuwait
Episode 8: Grand Baie, Mauritius (small island east of Madagascar)
Episode 9: Madagascar
Episode 10: Lohja, Finland
Episode 11: Belarus
Episode 12: Barcelona
Episode 13: Paris, France
Episode 14: Halifax, Nova Scotia to end in New York City

I also have a good source on who the final 3 are as well as the 4th, 5th and 6th place eliminations. CBS has not released the official names and relationship of the racers but I can tell you the pairs by their descriptions. We'll match names to faces when the information comes out.

6th Place: Older Female/Younger Male team, (mother/son)?
5th Place: Younger White Male/Female team, (dating couple)?
4th Place: Black Younger Female/Female team, (sisters or friends)?
Top 3: Asian Younger Male/Female team, (dating couple)?
Top 3: White Younger Female/Female team, (sisters or friends)?
Top 3: White Younger Male/Male team, (frat boys)?

Speculation has it that the female/female team is a pair of Miss America girls and the male/male team are actually friends of reigning Survivor winner Aras.

Voting Open for Big Brother 7

The Big Brother 7: All-Stars top 20 has been officially revealed. In this list of 20 we have some old favorites and a few we forgot that we loved to hate. Nothing about this list is a surprise since CBS leaked the list weeks ago when the voting website and had the content up for a few hours. Whoops... Anyway, now is time to vote for who you want to be in the BB7 house. The three guys and three girls who get the most votes will automatically get into the house and the producers will round out the group of 12 who will make up this season of Big Brother. Vote by midnight eastern time on Wednesday, June 28th at http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother7/. There is no limit to how many times you can vote. Get to voting make sure your favorites get in the house!

Below are the 20 potential contestants for Big Brother 7: All-Stars, broken down per season. As you can see there is quite a favoritism to seasons 2,5,6. Personally, I would like to see some people from the earlier seasons get voted in and I think all of the previous winners should not get another chance because they will be targeted early anyway. Since all the reality stars for the most part hang out in LA and have cliques, you can bet that there is already alliances and strategies in place before any of them set foot in the house. This is shaping up to be quite an interesting summer!

BB2: Bunky, Mike "Boogie", Monica, Will
BB3: Danielle, Lisa, Marcellas
BB4: Alison, Dana, Erika
BB5: Diane, Jase, Michael "Cowboy", Nakomis

Heroes Pilot Review: Part 2

Continuing on my previous post about the Heroes two hour pilot:

Harrison (left) and Peter are at the police station to bail out their mother, Alice. When the pair gets to the station they find out that their mother is not being charged for shoplifting. Harrison is very upset that his mother could do something to ruin him image so close to the election. Peter is upset too but he is more worried about how his mother is feeling. Once Harrison leaves to go do some damage control, Alice admits that she stole some socks because it was exciting to her. Peter tells her he understands.

Niki talks to someone named Texas Tina who appears to be her friend. It seems that Niki and Micah are staying with Tina for a little while at least. Niki admits that she borrowed the $25,000 for Micah's private school tuition from a loan shark and that she has had a gambling problem in the past. The loan was due two weeks ago and Niki has not paid it back. Niki also tells Tina that she feels like someone is following her but its not the loan sharks this time.

Peter and Alice are out of the police station now and are talking. Alice is concerned that Peter is not making a good enough living. Peter also defends Harrison and says that he has a connection with him. There is talk about some sort of accident that Harrison was involved in that Peter just knew was happening. Alice says that she is not holding her breath any longer for something special to happen to Peter. Suddenly Peter begins to fly above the city and flies toward the solar eclipse.

Now we are above a bunch of corporate workers in Japan and we see that Hiro stands out from all the others. Hiro is looking up at the sky toward the solar eclipse. Then we see Issac laying on the ground suffering when the light from outside goes black.

At Sing Sing prison D.J. (right) is on the phone talking to someone who seems to be his son. D.L. tells the person at the other end of the phone to take responsibility and to "her" that he promises somehow get out of there. D.L. returns to his cell and a guard asks a fellow inmate named Zeke to watch the wandering prisoner. Zeke and D.L. have a conversation about religion and then as D.L. watches Zeke pray he looks at Zeke's copy of The Koran.

Its night as Hiro and Ando talk about Hiro's time stopping ability. Ando still does not believe that Hiro's discovery has any sort of meaning while Hiro professes that it does. Hiro is doing a good job of convincing Ando that he has special powers but Ando doesn't know what good it will do Hiro, its not like he is going to make any money off of it. Ando challenges Hiro to teleport himself to the womens bathroom at least. Hiro begins consentrating.

Stella (left) arrives at Issac's loft and finds all the lights out. Stella calls to Issac but he does not respond, then she finally finds Issac handcuffed to the radiator in serious addiction withdrawl. Stella wants to take Isaac ot the hospital but he refuses and won't tell her where the handcuff key is. Stella gets a out a toolbox and uses every tool she can find to get Issac away from the radiator but is unsucessful. Isaac just wants Stella to leave her alone and tells her that he never loved her and is just using her. Stella is upset about what Isaac said and decided to respect his wishes and leaves. Isaac is not happy about what he just said but then notices that Stella left the saw close to him.

A man named Inspector Berlini is at a monastery with a picture of Father Sylar. Berlini is speaking to someone about what to do about victims' families.

Peter (right) is in a taxi cab, still in the middle of the solar eclipse. The camera reveals that the taxi cab driver is none other than Suresh. They talk about the eclipse and then Peter feels some sort of bond with Surseh and begins to open up. Peter asks Suresh if he thinks there are special people in the world who are meant to do something more. At first Suresh plays it off but then he explains his theory about an instant type of evolution. Peter feels that what this man is saying is exactly the way he has been feeling. But then the phone rings and its Stella, she needs him. Peter asks to get out of the cab right away.

Claire is at home and she is talking to her mom while doing the dishes. Claire's class ring falls off her hand and subconsiously she puts her hand into the garbage disposal while it is running. Clarie's hand becomes a bloody mangled mess as she pulls it out of the sink. Claire notices her hand and tries to hide it behind her back as her mother keeps talking but the blood keeps dripping on the floor. Out of the blue, Claire then tells her mother that its time she found out who her real mom and dad are. By this time Claire's hand is completely healed.

Peter talks to Stella about the novel he has been wanting to write for several years. Peter also confesses to Stella that he is in love with her and that he is ready to be who he is supposed to be. Stella does not have a response for Peter but tells him she needs help right away.

At the Sing Sing Prison it is night and Zeke is woken by D.L. who is just standing at the bars of his cell staring. Zeke wonders if D.L. is ok but decides to go back to sleep rather than wait and find out.

Niki barges in to Tina's house and announces that she has to leave town right away but Tina reveals that she doesn not know what happened to Micah (left). Tina explains that he was gone when she returned home and was missing several hundered dollars out of her purse but thought he had returned home to Niki. This news crushes Niki.

Claire comes up on a train accident and all the train cars are on fire. The police are talking to a fireman who says that there is one person left in train car nine, a top secret government person who was not on the list of passengers. Suddenly Claire comes out of the flaming train carrying a man in military uniform. All the police and medical personnel attend to the man and forget about Claire for a moment. The episode ends as Claire walks away from the scene as the unidentified good samaritan.

Heroes Pilot Review: Part 1

Continuing on with my review of the fall pilots I'm looking forward to, here is my review of Heroes which will air at 9pm eastern on NBC Mondays. The pilot episode will be two hours long so this review will be broken into two parts.

Suresh (left) is a professor in India who gets alerted in one of his classes by a man named Nirad. Suresh dismisses class and knows immediately what it is about. Nirad informs Suresh that his father, a New York City taxicab driver, has been murdered. Surseh is upset but not entirely surprised. Then Suresh and Nirad go to his father's apartment and talk about how Suresh had been receiving letters from his father about someone following him and trying to take his research documents. Suresh says that his father had been following a crazy theory and found Sylar, a "Patient Zero". Nirad tries to convince Suresh that his father was crazy, Suresh isn't so sure. They see a map with various markings all over the world and old newspaper articles strewn about. Nirad wonders what would be so important for his father to die for and vows to find this man named Sylar. Nirad tried to talk Suresh out of this decision, he does not want Suresh to give his life away like his father did. Suresh looks at an old photo of him and his father and knows what he has to do.

Peter is at the bedside of an old man named Charles who is very ill. It is Peter's job to tend to Charles. Peter reads Charles the daily stock prices and Charles give him a hard time but it turns out they have a good relationship and they are just teasing each other. Peter reveals to Charles that he can fly and Charles does not believe him. Just as Peter walks to the window to show Charles his skill, Charles' daughter Stella comes in the room. Peter and Stella have a conversation about Charles who is unconscious. Apparently Peter had been having a dream when he was talking to Charles. Then Peter flirts with Stella and asks her out. Stella declines because she is dating someone.

Niki (right) is a single mother of a 10 year old boy named Micah. She tells him to get ready for school and Micah is excited for the solar eclipse that is set to happen that day. There is a knock at the door and Niki tells Micah to get to the rear of the home. Outside there are two guys wearing leather, not good.

D.L. is a prisoner at the Sing sing prison. A prison guard finds him sleeping on the floor out of his cell in the boiler room. The guard is very upset that D.L. is not where he is supposed to be and orders D.L. to tell him how he got there. D.L. can't answer because he really has not clue how he got there. D.L. is taken to the Warden's office for a little chat.

Peter is visiting his brother Harrison at his campaign headquarters. Harrison is running for public office and is a very uptight man. Peter is trying to describe to Harrison about the dreams he has been having, these dreams about flying. Harrison does not have time for this and tells Peter to go see a doctor for his problems. Just then Harrison gets a phone call about their mother who has been arrested for shoplifting.

Isaac is a drug addict and a painter. Isaac is really disturbed by the fact that he has been painting the future on his canvas. Stella finds Isaac in a frenzy trying to paint a picture of an eclipse. Stella wants him to put the paintings in a show or something. Isaac says that he can only paint when he is high but can't remember doing so. Isaac explains to her that he painted the outcome of a horse race weeks before it took place. Isaac also painted a picture of Stella as she looks today. Stella is trying to convince Isaac to get help for his addiction but he won't listen.

Hiro (left) is a Japanese corporate cubicle worker. Hiro has been staring at a clock for quite sometime when he finally gets the second hand to stops moving and goes back one second. Hiro is triumphant in accomplishing this task and runs down to another cubicle where his friend Ando sits. Hiro tries to explain to Ando what just happened with the clock. Ando is not too impressed with Hiro's story and thinks that Hiro has lost his mind. Hiro tries to explain that he was the one who caused the train to arrive 14 seconds late earlier that day. Suddenly Hiro's boss breaks up the storytelling time, back to work.

Niki is called to the Principal's office at Micah's school. Principal Kearns explains that Micah's test scores came back too low and that he is not upholding the standards of the private school. Niki gets very upset and demands her tuition back. The Principal agrees to refund the unused portion of the tuition but not the $25,000 entrance fee that Niki made to get Micah into the school. As Niki storms out of the room and grabs Micah, she notices something weird about her reflection. Niki sees her reflection move out of the mirror and then smashes the mirror on her way out of the door.

Claire (right) is a Texas high school cheerleader and sits next to another teen named Zach. Zach has been video taping Claire doing all sorts of stunts to hurt herself but nothing is happening as her skin keeps healing right in front of their eyes. Zach is impressed with all the stunts and is glad to be a part of the experiment. Zach is also glad that Claire is talking to her since Zach is a bit of an outsider and Claire is popular. Claire is upset by her special gift because she thinks all the people in school will think she is weird. They notice that on Claire's last stunt she broke her leg very badly and the bone is sticking out of her skin. Claire pops her bone back into place and then takes the video tape from Zach. Claire walks off with only a slight limp.

That is all for part 1, part 2 is posted above this one.

Amazing Race 10 Sightings

The Amazing Race is currently filming its 10th edition to air in the fall. There are some small bit of information that have leaked due to some sightings. Once I find out more of the route spoilers after filming has completed, I'll make a new more detailed post. In the meantime here is what is known so far:

The race began filming on May 27th in Seattle. There were signtings at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport that day. Speculation is that the race then stopped in Beijing and Mongolia before heading to New Zealand and then Singapore. There also has been another sighting in the Kuwait airport around June 8th. There were also 7 same model type SUVs spotted in the airport parking lot, speculation is that this would be somewhere around the 5th episode if the teams begin with their usual 11 teams. The race lead the teams to the Kuwait Towers. This race will go around the world in the opposite direction, heading west from the United States.

Nip/Tuck 4.03 Spoilers

This episode should air on October 3, 2006.

Christian is at the gym with Fabio, his trainer. Christian finds out he is not in the best shape possible. Christian tells Fabio that he has a real job and does not have time to workout that much but then notices another plastic surgeon named Dr. Mike Hamoui having a much easier time working out. Christian later finds himself in the showers at the same time as Mike and checks out his very fit body. Mike notices Christian's staring and starts a conversation with him. Mike knows who Christian is and praises what McNamara/Troy has done for the plastic surgery business. Then Mike reveals that his business is booming and Christian becomes jealous of Mike's body and success. Christian asks Mike how he makes time for both and Mike confesses that he does not eat and goes to the gym any time he has a spare moment.

Just as Christian is about to leave the gym, he spots Matt and confronts him about not calling. Matt is not in a mood to talk and they have a confrontation. Christian makes some reference to Kimber as "Hari Kimber", it seems that she is on some sort of spiritual mission perhaps.

Meanwhile, Sean and Julia are interviewing nurses to help with their soon to be born son. It appears that the baby will be handicapped and need reconstructive plastic surgery. They speak to a woman named Monica Wilder who says all the right things and impresses the McNamaras. After the interview, Monica needs a ride home and Sean offers to take her. Monica and Sean have some small talk in the car but seem to have bonded during their conversation. Suddenly we see that Sean and Monica are at a motel having sex.

Later on Sean calls Julia and tells her that he has run out of gas and will get home as soon as he can. Julia hopes that Monica got home first so that she does not have a bad impression of them. Sean feels the guilt about what he has done and tells Monica that it would not be the best idea if she worked for them. Monica agrees but blames herself for ruining a great opportunity. Sean feels sorry for her and agrees to give her a nose job as a parting gift.

The next day Christian visits Mike's office for a quickie "lunchtime liposuction" procedure. Christian notices that Mike's operating room is better than his. During the procedure, Christian realizes that he feels degraded by having such a successful and toned man see his flaws. They get into a testosterone sparring match and then Mike asks Christian why Sean is not able to perform this procedure on Christian. All Mike gets in response is an excuse.

RW/RR Challenge Scoop

Filming of the next upcoming Real World/Road Rules Challenge is already underway in Brazil. No word on when an airdate but it would likely be after The Real World Key West has its finale on August 8th and the Fresh Meat Challenge has its finale on September 11th. Castmembers we can expect on the Brazil challenge are from Real World Beth S., Aneesa, and another quad group from the most recent Real World season Paula, John, Svetlana and Tyler. Derrick and Tina are the only members from Road Rules known at this time with an exception of Casey (Wes' partner) from the Fresh Meat Challenge, who will potentially become considered part of the Road Rules gang. Further speculation is that Derrick and Casey end up hooking up so I guess that does not mean well for Derrick's romance with Diem. Those people who are already revealed to have made the return trip home from Brazil are John and Paula (big surprise) as well as Tina. No word on weather or not anyone from Austin decided to try their luck again on this challenge.

As for the Fresh Meat Challenge, there is speculation that the winner has already been leaked. Stop reading now if you don't want to know. Ok, fair enough. Supposedly Darrell's winning streak does not end as he and Aviv walk away with the $250k.

30 Days News & Update

One of the summer's best reality TV shows is coming back soon! 30 Days will be back on air on Wednesday, July 26th at 10pm eastern on FX. If you have not heard of this show or watched it when it was on last summer, it is a documentary about someone who lives a life drastically different from their own for 30 days. This show is produced by Morgan Spurlock, who is the genius behind the movie Super Size Me. If you want to catch up on last season's 6 life changing episodes, the first season DVD will be released on July 11th in anticipation of the season 2 premiere. Those of you who are familiar with the show will be happy to know that Morgan was the subject of one of the episodes again for the upcoming season. While there are no details yet about what the topic of this episode entails, it is sure to be a great follow up to Morgan and Alex's minimum wage experiment last season. Speaking of Morgan and Alex, you all will be happy to know that they got married in Fiji on May 3rd this year. Best wishes to them!

Update on 6.15.06: Want to know where Morgan Spurlock will be spending his 30 days in season 2? That would be at the Henrico County Jail in Virginia. The episode was filmed in February and will focus on drug addiction rehabilitation as well. Some other topics that will be covered in the second season of 30 Days are immigration (immigrant family living with border patrol officer), abortion and outsourcing. This six episode season will end on August 30th.

Update on 7.21.06: I'm anxiously awaiting the premiere of this wonderful and thought provoking series. I have learned the topic of this season's 6 episodes, they are in order: Immigration 9anti-immigation man living with immigrant family), Outsourcing (man who los job due to outsourcing goes to India to live with the people who replaced him) , Athism (Athiest mom lives with evangelical christian family) , New age therapies (man with anger issues learns new age techniques), Abortion (pro choice woman who has had an abortion lives and works in a pro life center) and Incarceration (Morgan gets thrown in jail).

Nip/Tuck 4.02 Spoilers

This episode will air on September 26, 2006.

The episode opens with Christian at a strip club and has taking a liking to a huge breasted woman named Blu Mondae. Blu is talking about how her breasts are natural and they bother her. Christian tells her to stop talking. When Blu finds out that Christian is a plastic surgeon, they end up in Christian's bedroom having sex. Blu proposes working out a deal with Christian to get her breasts reduced but Christian says he does not do favors anymore. They continue to have sex.

Sean and Christian are getting used to having Michelle (from 4.01) involved at the office. Then Christian meets with a man named Mitchell and his much older sugar daddy boyfriend named Arthur. Turns out that Arthur wants work done on Mitchell but Christian senses that Mitchell is not too interested in having plastic surgery. Christian asks Mitchell to come back another time for a private consultation.

After the credits we see Sean and Matt are having a conversation at home. Sean and Julia want Matt to attend a gym so that he can become more social and give him something to do. Matt is not too interested, he'd rather work out in the garage.

Mitchell comes to visit Christian in private and Mitchell confesses that he is not sure that he is gay, he just likes the perks that come with a rich boyfriend. Christian tries to convince Mitchell that receiving those perks is not worth going through surgery. Mitchell asks Christian if he is "bi" as well. Christian says no, he just does not like to see people getting taken advantage of. Christian offers to help get Mitchell out of the situation and asks Mitchell to hang out with him sometime, to show him some options.

Meanwhile, Sean meets a man named Alex at a coffee shop who has a facial deformity. Sean offers his help. At first Alex is not interested but then Alex takes Sean's card and visits Sean at the office. Sean asks Alex why his parents never took Alex to get corrective surgery but Alex says that his parents did not have the money. Sean then offers to perform corrective surgery on Alex for free.

Later on Christian and Mitchell go to the strip club. Christian spots Blu Mondae and asks her to help out Mitchell and get him to leave the gay boyfriend. Blue agrees but then Christian asks her to have sex with Mitchell. Blue is appalled but when Christian offers to do her breast reduction for free, Blue has a change of heart. Blue and Mitchell end up having a good time but they only pretend to have sex for Christian's sake.

Sean performs Alex's surgery but during the procedure he discovers that Alex's deformity is too severe to be fixed all in one surgery. Once Alex wakes up, Sean explains the problems and offers to do a number of procedures and braces to fix Alex completely. Alex declines because he would not want to go through the pain and look even worse than he already does for a payoff in the far future, he is used to the way he looks anyway.

Michelle is surprised by a woman named James. Michelle does not like the surprise and makes sure nobody is watching but then gives James a bottle of pills. James unbuttons her shirt then first caresses and kisses Michelle. Liz watches from afar.

Sean and Christian are talking about some sort of intervention with Matt. Christian wants to tighten the purse strings but wants Julia on board with the plan so that everyone is united. Sean agrees to the plan. When they talk to Julia, they find out that she has already given Matt some money.

Mitchell comes to visit Christian at his apartment and tells Christian that Arthur found out about the strip club and threw him out. Christian feels for Mitchell and gives him some money and offers to set Mitchell up in a nice hotel for a while until he gets back on his feet. Mitchell asks to use the bathroom and Christian lets him in. Mitchell then appears out of the bathroom completely naked and offers to give Christian a blow job. Christian freaks out and tells Mitchell to leave. Once Mitchell continues to pursue Christian, Mitchell gets punched in the nose and Christian throws him out.

Later on Julia talks to Sean and agrees to the plan about Matt. Julia is toughened by the fact that the baby is going to have some developmental problems and reveals that she has decided to name the baby Conor.

Christian goes to visit Blu at the strip club after she has her breasts done. Blu is wearing a black wig and has decided to change her persona to Ashley Wednesday. Christian displays ambivalence as the show ends with him in contemplation of what he has become.

Rescue Me 3.10 Spoilers

This episode will air August 8, 2006.

Tommy hires a cab driver to take him to Rockaway when he sees that an Escalade belonging to him is stolen. Tommy gets into the driver's seat of the cab to chase after the Escalade. The cabbie is upset but when Tommy agrees to give him $100, he lets Tommy take over the wheel. When Tommy catches up with the Escalade and has a confrontation with the driver. Jerry is in a club dancing with Karlene when he is offered some weed, Jerry declines. Later on Tommy visits Stack who is still in the hospital. Stack's wife Deb asks Tommy to do her a favor. The crew also learns that Probie wants to transfer.

Big Brother Top 20 Update

I'm updating my previous post about the potential list of Big Brother Top 20 candidates. This week CBS has made another mistake and revealed the identity of those potential contestants that was supposed to be kept secret until the June 21st special edition of Big Brother. CBS has made similar goofs like this in the past so its fairly certain that these 20 will be the ones we can vote for. The link has since been taken down or else I would provide it so you could see for yourself but this fact adds more credibility to the mistake. If you also go back to the post I made a week or so ago, you will see that most of the 20 I had is listed here and gives us another reason to believe this is the top 20. The ones with ^ by their name are assumed from my previous list because of some common names that could be several people.

BB1: George
BB2: Bunky, Mike^, Monica, Will^
BB3: Danielle, Lisa, Marcellas
BB4: Alison, Dana, Erika
BB5: Diane, Jase, Nakomis
BB6: Howie, Ivette, James, Janelle, Kaysar, Michael^

As for who I'm voting for and would like to see in the house are Diane, Nakomis and Janelle for the women and George, Kaysar and Marcellas for the men. It was a tough choice for me and I would like to see most of the 20 on BB7 but I have to make a selection because I can't vote for all of them. I am not voting for previous winners because I think they will be targeted and ousted early anyway but Alison and Will would certainly make for an interesting house dynamic.

Stanley Cup Finals

With the television season and its spoilers being on hiatus for the time being, it is time to look at one of the more exciting final match ups in the world of sports and make some predictions. The NHL finally has their Stanley Cup finals schedule and teams set. In keeping with my tradition of looking at the odds, here are the current series odds courtesy of bodog.com:

Edmonton to win in 4 games: +1500
Edmonton to win in 5 games: +700
Edmonton to win in 6 games: +400
Edmonton to win in 7 games: +500
Carolina to win in 4 games: +1200
Carolina to win in 5 games: +450
Carolina to win in 6 games: +425
Carolina to win in 7 games: +350

My take on these odds: The best odds to make a bet would be Edmonton in 7 for sure. I think either team has a shot to win the Cup and a 7 game series is very possible. I'm worried about the rust factor that has plagued each team in the Western Conference coming off of convincingly winning the previous series. That is why I look for Carolina to have the edge coming out of the gates at home. I'll guess Carolina in 5 because I think Edmonton may have to much rust and pressure on them. Either way, I'm looking forward to the first game tonight and a very good match up for the finals.

Rescue Me 3.09 Spoilers

This episode will air August 1, 2006.

This episode pretty much picks up where the 3.08 left off. Tommy is visiting Stack in the hospital. Stack's wife Deb is crying because his other leg has been amputated. Tommy tells Deb that he will stick around and watch Stack for he so she can go home for a little while.

Franco finds out that his new girl Natalie is living with a guy but it turns out that its her brother Richard who has some disabilities. But when Natalie is out of the room Franco finds out that Richard has it out for him. Later on the three of them go out to dinner and when they are walking back Richard calls Franco a black racial slur. Franco says the he is Puerto Rican while Natalie blames her brother's outburst on Tourette's. In the end they all pretty much offend everyone on the street.

Jerry visits his wife at the nursing home and Jerry becomes upset because she does not have any idea who he is, she won't even call him Bud anymore. Kathleen, a woman who works at the home, tells Jerry that it may be better if he forgets about his wife. Jerry is offended and the next day Kathleen comes all the way down to the station to apologize.

Meanwhile, Lou is still doing yoga with Epiphany, Mike is trying to break up with Chris and Sheila also appears.

List of CW Affiliates

One of the concerns I hear about the most from TV viewers is whether or not they will be able to get the new CW channel in the fall. I found a great list of all the announced CW affiliates and will name the specific channel that the CW will be on in that market. This list is updated all the time as the CW adds more stations and is a great resource for information. Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CW_affiliates

Another thing that is important to note is that the WB or UPN station that is not going to carry the CW will likely contain either the FOX owned My Network TV or local programming and syndicated shows. So, its not like one channel is going to go black or disappear on the launch date of September 18th.

If you have any questions about what channel your CW will be on, I'll be happy to answer them. Some states have a lot of different markets and I have a great resource for finding out which market people are in. This is a big change merging two networks and I know we all want to make sure we will be able to watch the CW in the fall.

Nip/Tuck 4.01 Spoilers

Here are some spoilers for the first episode of the new season of Nip/Tuck that will premiere on September 19, 2006.

Christian and Sean meet a couple of pretty women in a bar. Turns out they are a mother-daughter pair named Jill and Riley. Sean decides to go home to Julia while Christian takes the ladies back to his place. Sean and Christian trying to have sex at the same time in each of their respective houses. Sean tries to have sex with a six months pregnant Julie but she is too uncomfortable and asks him to stop. Christian gets Jill and Riley in bed but gets into a fight with them as soon as Riley realizes Christian won't kiss either of them. Christian then throws the girls out because Jill tells him he is going to die alone because he won't let anyone get close to him.

The next day at the office, Sean and Christian are interviewing a man named Burt Landau who is in his 70's and his young wife named Michelle. Burt had testicular cancer and is not happy with the small size of testicular implants. Burt has something larger in mind and asks the guys for help. Later on it appears that Sean and Christian have made a business deal with the Landaus concerning the practice.

Julia goes to the doctor and they discuss something that may be wrong with the baby. Julia reveals that she has not told Sean because he may have not wanted to continue the pregnancy had he known.

Sean interviews another patient named Cindy Plumb who is in her 50's. Cindy's request is to get a voice lift because she is a phone sex operator. Cindy has been a drinker and smoker for many years but has found joy in the 1-900 business to get over a painful divorce. Sean sympathetically agrees to perform the surgery.

Christian decides to see a therapist named Faith to talk about his issues after observing Sean and his family happy together. Christian and Faith discuss the fact that Christian only likes to have sex with women doggy style because he does not want to be intimate with them and see their faces. The next day we see that Christian is having sex with Faith in her office doggy style.

The episode ends with Christian alone at a bar. When a young beautiful woman approaches him, Christian declines and continues to sit alone.

Bachelor 9: Lorenzo

After taking last fall off, ABC is bringing back the ninth edition of The Bachelor to its fall 2006 schedule airing 1t 9pm eastern on Mondays. ABC has also decided to reveal the identity of the next Bachelor and he is Lorenzo Borghese, a member of an Italian royal family. The Borghese family is also famous for its cosmetics business where Lorenzo oversees a line of pet care cosmetic products. No word yet if Lorenzo's career will be gone into detail on the show. The season will be filmed in Rome in keeping with the Italian theme. I'm not so sure that this is the proper set up for an actual successful match but we'll have fun watching the crazy women think they are going to become royalty overnight.

Six Degrees Pilot Review

I'm going to give a little sample and review of a couple of the more interesting fall pilots as we wait for the summer TV to really begin. I'll write up what the first episode is about and my review at the end. This process should give us all a good idea if we will be interested in watching the show come fall.

The main characters are Carlos (a public defender), Mae *pictured* (a troubled and mysterious woman), Whitney (a powerful executive), Damian (a gambler and chauffeur), Laura (a mom with a failed marriage), and Steven (a recovering addict and a photographer).

Carlos is assigned to help Mae out of trouble when she is charged with indecent exposure. Carlos makes a deal with a judge to get Mae out of trouble because he feels something for her. Later on Carlos tells his friends with benefits girl Sandy that he has met someone and wants to break it off.

We meet Whitney as she finds out that she has made partner at her PR firm. Whitney's boyfriend Roy helps her celebrate as she asks him to marry her. Roy likes the idea but wants to be the one to surprise her with a ring.

Steven appears as he has snuck to his son's school to see him. It seems that his ex will not let Steven see his son, Max. Steven gets upset and goes to a bar where Damian is as well, they do not know each other.

Damian is at the bar watching a race that he has bet on. He loses and then goes to pick up a client in his Town Car. The client is none other than Roy on his way to see Whitney.

Later on Mae is on a pay phone talking to an Eric who is upset that she got in trouble with the law because she is supposed to be on the run. Mae tells Eric she has a plan.

Laura is at lunch with a friend Bonnie about how she is going back to work. Laura is hiding the reason of her broken marriage as the reason she needs to back to work.

Damian is waiting for a client who actually turns out to be his brother Michael. Its seems that Michael wants to help Damian out of his gambling debt. Damian does not take the offer but keeps it in mind.

Whitney has found one of Steven's photos by coincidence and has asked to have a meeting with him. Whitney offers Steven a job for a perfume client but Steven becomes upset and walks out. Whitney goes after him but instead sees one of her co-workers looking at a profile of Roy on a dating website. Whitney confronts Roy who says it was done as a joke and he is not looking for someone to date.

After Mae changes her appearance with a drastic haircut and color, she goes in for a live-in nanny interview at Laura's house. Laura is impressed with Mae and offers her a job since her references checked out . Later on Mae talks to Eric on the phone and commends his fine job pretending to be a reference. They talk about how the job is great because Mae will get paid cash and does not have to sign a lease to live anywhere, no trail. Later on Mae goes on a walk with Laura's daughter Eliza and gets scared because she thinks someone is following her. Mae considers quitting the job, it may be too dangerous.

Steven goes back to a gallery where his work used to be shown and regrets that his addiction had ruined his old life. Steven asks the owner to show his old photos but the owner suggests that Steven make new work to make people forget about what happened. Steven says that he does not have the inspiration anymore and doubts this idea would work.

Later on Whitney coincidently talks at a nail salon with a stranger who happens to be Laura. They talk about the dating website Whitney found Roy's profile on and Laura agrees to help Whitney.

After trying to call Mae and finding the number disconnected, Carlos sees Mae go into a nightclub and tries to get in but the bouncer won't let him. Carlos spots Damian and his Town Car and asks for a ride down the street back to the nightclub in order to look like a VIP. Damian offers Carlos some advice and clothing to look more the part of a VIP.

The next day Carlos' boss finds out about the deal with the judge and is not happy but admires his passion for wanting to help Mae out. He suspends Carlos but does not fire him.

Laura finally decides to confront her failed marriage and sends her husband's things away in a moving van. Once the van is out of sight, Laura breaks down on the street.

Steven runs home and turns his bathroom into a darkroom. It seems that he has captured something on film that inspired him. As the image develops we see that it is Laura during her break down.

That night Laura and Whitney have set Roy up by getting him to come to a fake date to meet Laura. Once Roy arrives, Whitney gets upset and knows that Roy was lying and is a cheater. Roy says that he knew it was a set up and he came to surprise Whitney with an engagement ring and pops the question.

Damian is off to pick up Michael and wants to accept his offer for help. Michael appears out of a building with another man and what appears to be a body bag. Michael asks Damian to pop the trunk. The next day Michael thanks Damian for helping him out the previous night and pays him a large sum of cash. Damian is dealing with the fact that he shot someone. Michael asks Damian to keep working with him and asks Damian to keep an eye out for a girl he is looking for, the photo reveals that it is Mae.

My take on the pilot: I liked reading this pilot more than I expected. I liked the characters right away and it was interesting how they were all slightly connected. There were several other coincidental ways that the character's crossed paths that I did not write about. I am interested to see where this story is going but I don't know if it is going to evolve into a big mystery or if all six are going to finally meet and become one big group of friends. I'll have to wait and see the show to really grasp the tone and direction but so far so good. And with a slot after Grey's Anatomy, Six Degrees has a good chance to become a hit.

Updated 5.27.06

Upfront Review

Since I missed the boat on all the upfront news while I was away, I'll spare you all with the endless recap of all the schedules and pickups. I'm sure you all have seen the list and grids 10 times by now anyway. But, I will highlight some things I found interesting and newsworthy.

First of all, one of the biggest surprises came with the pick of 7th Heaven, which will be back on the CW in its 8pm eastern slot on Mondays. After the super lame finale I am a little glad that the show will be back in hopes of a decent ending but I'm upset that we were tricked into thinking this was the real series finale we saw. Too bad for the Everwood fans who got the shaft with this move but we'll have fun watching the writers get out of the hole they wrote themselves in with the multiple twin pregnancies and the ambiguous Sandy-Simon storyline. I should also not that I heard that there may only be 13 episodes of 7th Heaven's eleventh season. That makes no sense to me at all since I have no idea why they would bring this show back from the dead for half a season. But, its something to keep our eyes and ears open for nonetheless.

Another pickup that was a surprise is that What About Brian will be back in the fall. I like that the show is sticking around in its 10pm eastern slot on the ABC Monday schedule and I'm glad that the network decided to give the show another chance. What About Brian seemed to get stronger as the season went on so I have high hopes for the next season. No word yet about what will become of the 3 unaired episodes.

It was interesting to see ABC move Grey's Anatomy to the ultimate competition spot at 9pm eastern on Thursdays. I will be fun to see if this mega hit show will be able to knock CSI down a peg. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy CSI but it could stand to lose a little hype and actually have to work a bit harder to captivate the audience.

The OC will also remain in 9pm eastern Thursday slot for FOX but its going to be impossible to get better ratings against both Grey's and CSI. I'm just hoping that the fourth season's storylines will be better than the ones we had to endure this season. It will be also fun to wait and see how long it will take before the inevitable Marissa flashback/dream/alternate universe scenes happen once Mishca Barton realizes her movie career isn't going to take off. I heard that Volchok will be back for the aftermath, I wonder where they are going witht that one. Its also important to note that rumor has it that season four of the OC will not premiere until after the World Series concludes, which means mark your calendars for November.

Going back to the CW, I like the pairings for the most part. Especially Gilmore Girls with Veronica Mars on Tuesday. America's Next Top Model with One Tree Hill should work out nice too. I was a bit disappointed to see the pilot "Split Decision" did not make the cut but maybe it will be resurrected at some point.

Over at NBC, the one of only interesting things going on is Sunday Night Football begins fall this season. I still don't understand which game will be the "big game of the week". Is it the Sunday one on primetime national television or the one on the traditional Monday night slot on ESPN? My gut tells me the Sunday night one will end up getting the biggest billing and hype, thus becoming the big game of the week but its still a toss up.

Also on NBC, I like the concept of the Heroes pilot. I'm not big into Sci-Fi or anything that is too high concept but I know that Heroes sounds like a good character study so I'm going to give it a chance. Anyway, I'm going to review the pilot script and post about it sometime soon. Its not exactly a spoiler per se but since it has not aired yet some of you might find it interesting to read about anyhow.

Another thing to note about NBC is that they are only going to have one cycle of the Apprentice next season as it will not premiere until the spring and will be one of the shows to replace Sunday Night Football. I wonder how the Donald feels that his "hit show" is getting reduced to once a year. I'd love to hear his ridiculous spin on this issue.

Another show that is moving to Sundays is The Amazing Race. I like that the show is still in a 8pm eastern slot but being against football is not going to be pretty. I like its chances better once football is over and makes a nice combo with Desperate Housewives on ABC at 9pm. The Amazing Race is one of my absolute favorite reality shows and I hope it will be on for a very long time. Here is to hoping it can find a good home on Sunday.

Just a last general comment is that I am surprised that the networks are trying to block program their shows more. Meaning that some are being rolled out late or held off until midseason in order to keep the audience's attention and repeat less. I also noticed less new shows will premiere this fall and more favorites with less than stellar ratings given a chance. If all this means less cancelled shows, I am all for it. So far it is shaping up to be a great fall!

Big Brother All-Stars Voting Update

Its almost time to get out to the polls and vote for your favorite former Big Brother contestant to compete on this season of Big Brother All-Stars. CBS has announced that on Wednesday, June 21st at 8pm eastern there will be a Big Brother preview show where Julie Chen will reveal the 20 candidates to vote for and will kick off the online vote that night. Rumor has it that the top 3 guys and girls with the most votes will be automatically on the show while the producers get to select the other 6 to round out the cast. Here is to hoping that there will be some great people to choose from!

Updating this one day later, I found a list of potential Big Brother All-Stars contestants who will comprise the top 20 for the audience to vote for. This list is not sent in stone as all of these contestants might not have commited to the season yet or CBS may change their minds but here is what the top 20 looks like now. The 5 with * by their name have appeared on another list, alternates perhaps? We'll find out on June 21st.

BB1: George Boswell
BB2: Will Kirby, Mike “Boogie” Malin, Bill “Bunky” Miller, Monica Bailey, Shannon Dragoo*, Sheryl Braxton*
BB3: Lisa Donahue, Danielle Reyes, Marcellas Reynolds
BB4: Jun Song, Erika Landin
BB5: Diane Henry, Jase Wirey, Holly King, Scott Long, Will Wikle*, Lori Valenti
BB6: Ivette Corredero, James Rhine, Ashlea Evans*, Janelle Pierzina, Howie Gordon, Kaysar Ridha, Michael Donnellan*

Veronica Mars Renewed!

Just a quick update from the high seas to shout from the rooftops that Veronica Mars will be back for a third season. I hope this comes as wonderful news if you have not already heard. Veronica Mars will be a part of the new CW schedule on Tuesday nights at 9pm eastern following Gilmore Girls. But, the renewal comes with one catch, the season (and presumably the show) can be cancelled after 13 episodes if the ratings are low. This would be such a huge disappointment so please get everyone you know to watch Veronica Mars this fall!

Veronica Mars Season 2 Repeats

I just wanted to let you all know that beginning Tuesday, May 16th at 9pm UPN is rerunning the complete second season of Veroncia Mars. From what I have heard the entire season will be shown this summer with some back to back showings to get all 22 episodes in before fall. This is a great opportunity to catch up on missed episodes or a way to watch and catch clues about the mysteries and Beaver's evilness. Either way its a chance to watch a great show and get ready for season 3 (fingers crossed).

Survivor Panama Episode 14 (finale) Spoilers

CBS did a nice little trick by not showing us the outcome of the fire making tiebreaker challenge but its very likely that the spoiler I posted yesterday will come true and Cirie will be the one who does not make it to the final 3.

This would confirm my long range spoilers it will be Aras, Terry and Danielle in the final 3. It appears that Aras wins the final 3 endurance immunity challenge on a colored incline and chooses Danielle to go to the finals with him. As for who wins, there was been information for both Aras and Danielle taking home the $million but my money is on Aras. Danielle has a few too many enemies to make the vote come out in her way. The winner on Survivor is always hardest to spoil because very few actually have that information but I'll trust the spoilers on this one and say Aras will be the winner.

Survivor Panama Episode 13 Spoilers

Its time for the final 4 on Survivor. Usually the final 4 would be part of the finale but CBS has decided to go back to season 2's format of beginning the finale with 3. The finale will air on Sunday.

Unfortunately, I do not have any information about the challenges but its rumored that the winner of the reward challenge gets to visit the Panama Canal.

At tribal council its speculated that there is a tie in the vote between Cirie and Danielle. They are forced to compete in a sudden death fire making challenge and it seems that Danielle wins and sends Cirie packing. It is possible that the hidden immunity idol will come into play at this tribal council because it will be useless once they hit the final 3. Aras and Terry are for sure making the final 3.

The OC Death

There is rampant speculation about who is going to be the big death on the season finale of the OC next week, That 70's Show is having a 2 hour series finale this week. My information tells that Sandy is going to have a heart attack and will be in bad shape for most of the episode. Weather or not Sandy is the one who dies is another story and one I do not have an answer to. Other theories have come out saying that Marissa is the one who dies from a drug overdose because Mischa Barton is unhappy playing a teen in angst and wants to get her movie career started. Personally I don't think either of these two are going to die. The OC has a tendency to let some characters die but they have never been main ones. With a main cast list so small I doubt they would let either Sandy or Marissa go, although Marissa may not be a series regular next year. My prediction for the big death is that Volchok's stay on the OC will have a dramatic end if you know what I mean.

Rescue Me 3.08 Spoilers

This episode will air July 25, 2006.

The episode opens with the crew on a call. Tommy and Lou have a conversation with a police officer Lt. John Stackhouse, Stack for short. They give each other just general pleasantries and friendly ribbing.

Its Veronica Mars Finale Day

Today is the day we have all been anticipating, its the day of the Veronica Mars finale and nobody is more excited than me. If even half of the spoilers come true, this episode is sure to be a wild ride. I do not know how they plan to get everything into a 40 minute show but they always do and it amazes me. Ratings have not been great but last week Veronica Mars has 2.33 million viewers, which is decent considering the show was preempted in New York again. Tonight there will be no preemptions that I am aware of and hopefully the show will draw in great ratings. This has been your weekly reminder to watch at 9pm on UPN. Hopefully you did not need to be reminded though!

Here is the official press release from UPN: "After learning the identity of the perpetrator responsible for the bus crash, Veronica hurries to warn others, but ends up putting herself in an extremely perilous situation. Meanwhile, Keith enlists Veronica's help in his ongoing investigation of Woody (guest star Steve Guttenberg) and asks her go undercover to get some vital information from Woody's lawyer. Later, when graduation day finally comes around, Neptune seniors celebrate at a huge party at the Neptune Grand on the season finale of VERONICA MARS, Tuesday, May 9 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on UPN.. John Kretchmer directed the episode from a script written by series' creator and Executive Producer Rob Thomas, and John Enbom."

And please don't forget to look to the skies if you live in the Los Angeles area for the renew Veronica Mars plane!

CSI Episode 23 Spoilers

This is part one of the two part finale that will air on May 11, 2006. I already wrote up part 2 and posted it on 4.17.06.

The episode opens with gunfire and a chase in a casino. Warrick is there and he is helping the security officers chase down the guy. The guy being chased shoots a security officer and then grabs a woman and heads into an elevator. When security gets the cameras up they see that all elevators are empty and the guy is missing.

Then the episode shifts to what happened 15 hours ago. The crew is all at a suburban house where there has been a very messy gruesome murder. The dead body is of a woman named Janice and it appears she was shot in the face.

Later on Grissom is talking to a Dr. Robbins about the one that got away. Grissom had given his grandmother's ring to a woman named Corinne Daly and asked her to marry him. It all ended when Grissom got the ring back.

Back on the case Sara and Brass interrogate a man named Timothy Johnson who was Janice's gardener. After a couple rounds if questions we learn that Timothy was sleeping with Janice. Her husband came home while they were in the middle of something so Timothy hid in the closet and lost his sock. Once the coast was clear Timothy left but did not see if Janice was dead or alive at that time.

Meanwhile, Nick and Warrick are lifting some finger prints and Nick calls a hooker named Sally to come meet him. Once she arrives, Nick interrogates her and comes to find that one of Sally's clients was Janice's husband, Willie. Sally says that Willie had a lot of cash with him and offered to take her to Hawaii and she still has the brochure. Catherine goes to the travel agency but it is closed.

Later on the crew goes to investigate a taxi company. A taxi driver says that he drove some guy around all night who just kept giving the driver money. The crew assumed it was Willie in the cab all night but instead it was someone related to him named Sammy. A close up reveals that this passenger had a gun with him.

By this time al 15 hours between the casino chase scene and the investigation have elapsed and both plot lines are running at the same time as each other. Warrick is investigating at the casino. Meanwhile Willie enters the casino and gets into a scuffle with a random person at the casino. This is when a security officer intervenes and gets shot. Willie takes off running through the casino.

We find out that Willie has the woman from the elevator held hostage in one of the casino hotel rooms. Brass is going in to try to negotiate with Willie.

Back at the lab Catherine and Nick track Willie's casino play from earlier in the day. It seems that Willie was winning at blackjack but the pit boss lowered his limit because they suspected something fishy. This upset Willie who then later explains to Brass that he started losing after the encounter and called up his brother Sammy. Sammy came to pick Willie up and take him home but then that is when Willie found Janice in bed with the gardener. Willie and Janice had a fight and Sammy kills Janice. Brass tells Willie that Sammy has been arrested and Willie wants to speak with him by phone. Brass asks Willie to point the gun at him instead of the hostage.

Meanwhile, Warrick is investigating the table where Willie was playing at earlier and the pit boss who spoke to him. Warrick is also looking for his wife Tina. Later on Warrick spots Tina and freaks out when he sees someone suspicious approaching her. False alarm, they are still looking for Sammy.

Love Veronica Mars? Look to the Skies!

In honor to celebrate the second season finale and to ensure a season 3 on the CW, a group of Veronica Mars fans on Television Without Pity and Live Journal have banded together and are planning some pretty cool things to happen in the next couple of days. Veronica Mars inspired t-shirts, care packages, and floral bouquets will be sent to decision makers at the CW, its parent companies, and influential people in the media. This is all leading up to the big Cloud Watchers (CW) event on May 9th. During the peak rush hours (along the 405), an airplane will fly the skies between the UPN offices in Los Angeles and the future site of the CW headquarters, showing network officials the way to their new home in Burbank. The banner will read "RENEW VERONICA MARS! CW 2006! It should be quite a treat for those of you who live in Los Angeles and can witness this first hand.

Over $5,000 has been raised by fans at TWoP and in addition to the Cloud Watchers campaign, these fine folks have set up a DVD campaign as well. They are going to donate DVD sets to local libraries in some of the largest television markets in the US. If you would like to help out with a monetary donation or a set of Veronica Mars DVDs please visit this website for more information. http://community.livejournal.com/cloud_watchers/

These efforts need as much media and internet coverage as possible so please forward this post or let as many people know about Cloud Watchers and the DVD campaign as possible!

What About Brian Unaired Finale Spoilers

Originally I was hoping to post spoilers for the unaired episode that was supposed to be 107 but the information has since disappeared before I could get it. However, I do have information on what was supposed to happen in the original finale of What About Brain that would be episode 108. Currently its not looking good for a pick up next season of this show so perhaps this can be used as closure.

The episode opens with Dave and Deena hosting a dinner party for the couples Brain & Lisa B and Adam & Marjorie. Both couples are absent and the kids have filled their seats with stuffed animals. Dave and Deena have no idea why everyone is late.

It seems that Marjorie and Adam have had some sort of fight and they are broken up. Marjorie is working straight shifts at the hospital and won't go home, she hasn't been there in 5 days. Later on Adam goes to find Marjorie at the hospital but she had a Dr. Gael drive her to a friend's house. We also find out that Adam does not get the partnership but neither does Piedmont.

Dave sees Richard and starts a fist fight with him. The kids' nanny comes over and breaks it up. Later on Dave comes home with the kids looking pretty bad and has to explain to Deena what happened. It seems that the cops got involved. Dave also gets a huge job offer from Suzanne to leave Zap Monkey and his partnership with Brian. Later on Brian finds out about Dave's job offer and is hurt but seems ok with it. We also find out Dave and Suzanne had an affair but Dave thinks its less hurtful to Denna than hers with Richard because Deena can't visualize Suzanne and Dave together. Dave and Deena are trying to make it work but are having a hard time getting over the affairs.

Meanwhile at work Nicole receives news that a woman named Brenda is going to let Nicole and Angelo adopt her baby. They must rush out of town for the birth of their daughter. Just as the baby is born, the birth father named Caleb comes to see Brenda and tells Nicole and Angelo that they had no reason to come. Caleb pretty much wants Angelo to pay his off so that they can keep the baby. Angelo agrees but calls someone and speaks Italian but its just Brian on the other end. It seems like Brain and Angelo are figuring out a plan.

Veronica Mars Season 2 DVD Info

Warner Brothers has just announced that the season 2 set of Veronica Mars DVDs will go on sale on Tuesday, August 22nd. Season 2's DVD set will have the bonus features we were all missing in season 1's set such as a behind the scenes featurette and gag reel in addition to some deleted scenes. In the press release it was stated that the timing of the DVDs is supposed to coincide with the launch of the CW on September 18th and premiere of season 3 of Veronica Mars. While no official pick up has been announced by the CW, it is very encouraging news that the DVD release is timed this way in order for new viewers to catch up on seasons 1 and 2. What is even more encouraging is that Warner Brothers mentioned a season 3 in their own press release. I for one as very excited about this news and am marking my calendar for the season 2 release date.

What About Brian Unaired Episode A Spoilers

This episode should have been aired next and is episode 104. However, ABC is skipping this one and is showing episode 105 on Monday, May 1st. I guess they really are not spoilers if the episode is never going to air! But, I'm sure you all who watch the show would like the additional information so that when you see 105 it makes sense.

Nicole is helping some band set up for a concert. She is having a discussion with Brian about her marriage to Angelo and if she wants to continue to her marriage if Angelo does not want to have kids. Nicole is apprehensive about doing daily fertility injections in order to get pregnant so she is really conflicted. Dave talks to Suzanne about his open marriage and his concerns about having an affair. Richard and Deena are still continuing their affair as they go to Santa Monica for the day. Once Richard leaves, Deena discovers that she locked her car keys in the hotel room but since her name was not on the reservation the hotel staff won't let her back into the room to get them. Deena calls Nicole and asks for her help to pick up her kids from school and not to tell Dave about anything. Meanwhile, Brian and Adam play a game of basketball with a guy from the gym named Boomer for the right to date the girl Boomer is currently seeing, Lisa. Adam and Brian win the game at the last second and Boomer still thinks that Lisa is going to want to be with him anyway. Later on, Nicole goes to pick up Larissa from school in a limo. The girls then have a great time with Nicole at the concert site but she is a bit overwhelmed. Angelo comes to rescue Nicole and awkwardly takes care of the girls.

In the end it looks like Brian gets the girl, Lisa.
