Once again, the male contestants put out a better overall showing than the ladies—but only six will make it through on Thursday. How did they individually fare? Find out after the jump. As an aside, we are glad that Paula decided to lighten up on the cleavage this evening, opting instead for a gigantic flower of some sort. Good stuff.

‘The Bachelor’ Couple Has Already Called It Quits
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Reality, ABC, The Bachelor, News,
Perhaps it wasn’t true love after all: Travis Stork and his chosen love, Sarah Stone, have broken up less than a week after Stork chose Stone in the final episode of The Bachelor: Paris. The couple claimed that the restrictions on being seen together until the show ended placed a strain on the relationship. Stone claims that if she and Stork had met somewhere other than the show, the relationship would have worked out. What do you think? Is this proof that ‘reality’ television isn’t so real after all?

Survivor: Panama: For Cod’s Sake
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor,
The La Mina tribe came back to camp one member short after having voted out Ruth Marie at the previous tribal council. Sally was feeling pretty good about herself since the men obviously deemed her a worthy enough female to stay.
Back at Casaya, the younger tribe members were puzzled as to why Bruce was working on creating a zen rock garden when they were still struggling to create a fire. Maybe because he was sick of doing all the work for you? Aras’ frustration built up and he lashed out at Bruce. Bruce didn’t appreciate the ‘childish behavior’ and the attack on his character. Later, Aras privately wished to go to Exile Island so that he could seek some calmness. Too bad the immunity idol is gone, dude!

The Amazing Race Returns Tonight
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The,
Viewer favorite The Amazing Race returns to CBS at 9pm tonight. Host Phil Keoghan acknowledges that the show made a mistake last season by changing the format to a family edition. The show will return to its globe-trotting roots tonight, a move sure to make viewers happy.
Tonight, the reality adventure series returns with its original international format in which teams of two travel to exotic locations in a race around the world for a $1-million US prize.
This time around they will span five continents and stop in places such as the Middle East, Moscow and Sicily. “The reaction we got from the family version…people clearly made a statement they wanted that international element of the show—they missed it,” says Keoghan.
This season, the 11 teams, which include a Pizza Hut manager, a science teacher, a dentist, a valet and a retired physician, race across 97,000 kilometres in just 29 days.
That is the longest distance travelled in the shortest amount of time throughout the show’s eight-cycle history, says Keoghan.

Gordon Ramsay is back to terrify a new crop of novice chefs.
The reality cooking show Hell’s Kitchen will return June 12th in its normal 9pm slot. No doubt viewers are hoping for more dramatic explosions and food flinging courtesy of the hot-tempered Ramsay.
The show, in which teams of aspiring chefs compete for Ramsay’s approval—and often end up wearing what they’re cooking, courtesy of a fed-up Ramsay—will open its second season Monday, June 12. It will hold down the same 9 p.m. timeslot it had last summer.
In the first season, 27-year-old chef Michael outlasted 11 other competitors to win the competition and take a job working in one of Ramsay’s London restaurants.
The stakes are somewhat higher this year: The winner will receive the title of executive chef at a fine-dining restaurant at the soon-to-open Red Rock Casino Resort in Las Vegas. FOX also says the winner “will be eligible” to have a financial interest in the restaurant and give input on its design.

The Apprentice Returns Tonight; Will The Move Destroy Ratings?
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Apprentice, The - Donald,
In a highly-publicized fight far nastier than any boardroom brawl, Donald Trump and Martha Stewart have traded barbs and slung mud with the best of them. Hmm…could it have possibly been a publicity stunt designed to promote Season 5 of The Apprentice, debuting tonight? Not that the show couldn’t use it, having slipped to 38th place from its former number one spot.
Maybe this will be the shot in the arm Donald needs, but will the high-rish move to Monday nights reduce viewership?
The blood feud between Martha Stewart and Donald Trump evokes the same feelings as, say, Iran attacking North Korea. But there is something important to keep in mind. It erupted less than a week before the fifth edition of Trump’s “The Apprentice” premieres in a new time period Monday (Feb. 27). Each of the past three has produced lower ratings than its predecessor. Shows switching nights almost always lose audience, and another such decline could allow Stewart to turn the tables and lecture Trump on what went wrong with his show.
