The episode starts out in the temptation room. The room is filled with cupcakes, brownies, peanut butter cups, everything yummy and sugary. The temptation is that whomever eats the most calories in ten minutes has the power to choose the teams and the trainers. It's now Blue v. Black. And another thing. They turn out the lights so no one knows what anyone else is eating.
Heba speaks up and volunteers that she will eat a donut and keep the teams the way they are. Everyone says that's a great idea. But in the cut in interview Red team seems to think that Heba tries to control and manipulate everything. Heba played the "I just lost my husband card." Jillians current team all start crying that it's unfair that if they leave the teams as is, then Bob's team has two boys. Of course they forget that Jillian has NEVER lost this game. While the women are all crying about what to do, Red guy stands up and eats, in order to control his own destiny. Red continues to eat peanut butter cups, Heba starts eating donuts. When Red takes a wrapper off of the peanut butter cup, the it makes a noise. Heba then tries to figure out how many he's eaten. Drama, drama, drama.
Heba ends up eating two donuts. Amy Purple eats one brownie, and Phil, Red ate two peanut butter cups. No one else ate anything. Heba ate the most calories and won the temptation. She is given a half hour to decide teams.
Amy Red is upset that she's going to lose Bob as her trainer, or her husband to another team. Amy Purple wants to be on a team with a guy.
Blue team is
Heba Orange
Vicky Brown
Amy Red
Amy Purple
Brady Brown
Black team is
Renee' Pink
Colleen Yellow
Michelle Pink
Phil Red
Shellay Purple
Trainer Tips: Jillian says make your eating out more healthy by making special requests look for steamed, broiled, baked, grilled, poached or roasted. If all else fails go the salad route.
Bob shows up to find the Blue Team in the kitchen. Amy and Heba both start crying. Vicky explained what was going on. Heba didn't care about the numbers she was mad at Phil. Bob is pissed off he thinks her decision was "stupid". He pulled Amy aside to get her side of the story. (Keep in mind that Heba lost 8 pounds last week, she's going to have a LOW number, I'm guessing she's going to get to see her husband soon.)
Jillian got the Black teams story. They were off to work out. Michelle wanted to talk to Jillian about her emotions. Talking more about the divorce, again. Like her parents are the first in history to divorce. It's not your fault, get over it.
The next morning at 5:55 Allison wakes everyone up and tells them to meet in front of the gym in ten minutes. Heba is complaining. The challenge will last 14 hours, from sun up til sun down. They have all day to climb the mountain as many times as they can. There are camera's on the top of the hill and in front of the gym. Every time they climb the hill they have to take a picture, if they can get all five team members in the same picture it is worth bonus points. The winning team gets a two pound pass.
Blue was having trouble staying together. Vicky was hurting. The blue team decided they would split up. Brady was going to try to make up the difference. By 10:30 it was 98 degrees out. It eventually got to 112 degrees. Both teams decided to take a break, trusting that no one would go up and down the hill during the break. Shellay decided to go and check if everyone was taking a break, she went to talk to Colleen. The game was getting to them, they were feeling guilty, and they couldn't rest during the break. But Colleen wouldn't break her word. The blue team stayed together for the first climb. Black stayed together the whole time.
With 90 seconds left Shellay was behind and had to run to make the final team picture. The black team got 162 points, Brady from the Blue team ran over 20 miles. Blue got 147 points.
Trainer tips: Bob says hiking is a great form of exercise. He says to run on the inclines, stay hydrated, bring a lunch, make a day of it.
Time for a Jello plug by the pool. Bob tells Amy to go and get the Cool Whip in a can. Ten calories here, twenty calories here.
Then they tell him about the challenge and it's off to the gym.
Jillian pulls Michelle aside to try and talk her out of leaving the campus. She has Michelle call her dad. Dad tells her to stay there, and that she's not betraying him by loving her mom. Michelle still isn't sure she's going to stay. Michelle discusses it with her mom. Mom says no matter what I'll love you. Michelle looks as though the advice wasn't helpful.
Bob then plugs milk, it has protein to build lean muscle mass. Potassium, calcium. Everything but the mustache. He didn't drink his though, yes I noticed. Go to whymilk.com to learn more.
Michelle decides to stay. Happy times. Let's weigh in
Black team
Michelle lost 7 pounds.
Renee lost 5 pounds.
Phil lost 8 pounds.
Coleen lost 5 pounds.
Shellay lost 5 pounds.
The team lost a total of 2.84% including the 2 pound weight bonus.

Vicky lost 6 pounds.
Brady lost 6 pounds.
Amy Red lost 6 pounds.

The team lost a total of 2.96% sending the Black team into elimination.
Black votes
Michelle votes Shellay.
Phil votes Renee.
Renee votes Shellay.
Shellay votes Renee.
Coleen votes Shellay. Leaving the Michelle Renee alliance intact. Poor move Coleen. That makes two votes, and unless you get immunity you're going home. Yuck.
Shellay is looking hot at home. She feels young and energetic. She started out at 216. She was wearing a size 18 and now wears a size ten and hopes to wear a six at the finale.
CSI Miami 10/13/08
Who cares? I watched My Own Worst Enemy on NBC. I hope that the CSI's have good syndication contracts because it is so OVER for them. I don't even care to watch it for the hilarity that is H. I love Christian Slater. He's sexy and that other thing. He can act. And he can act convincingly like two people, in the first episode. I've been waiting to be convinced that H is H for how many years now? Too many. By this time he should be the Fonz. Never again should he be able to appear in anything without someone yelling out "Horatio Caine" you know, like when Gary Sinise was in Apollo 13 and everytime he appeared on screen the entire audience would yell "Lieutenant Dan". I don't ask for much. I want one of two things. To always associate and actor with a character that I love, Lt. Dan, or to be convinced that the actor is the person he is playing no matter what he is playing.
BTW, I find Gary Sinise to be awesome. I just really loved Lt. Dan. I am quite convinced that Gary is who he is playing in anything I've seen him in. Even more so with Christian Slater. So, I will not be staying up late on Monday's to blog about CSI Miami. I might catch up by the weekend, but don't hold your collective breath. I'm am so over it.

My Own Worst Enemy 10/13/08
BEST SHOW EVER If you missed it NBC will be repeating it Saturday night, middle hour. To some that means 9 (Eastern and Pacific) to the middle that means 8.
The show opens up with a Henry opening up his computer. On it is him. He is telling himself. "My name is Edward and by now you've forgotten all about me. First call your wife and tell her that you won't make the soccer game, your life depends on it."
So, Henry Spivey is a 40 year old corporate America guy, wife, two kids, house in the burbs. But he is really a memory created by a secret government organization, that covers for Edward Albright (I'm pretty sure, I'm not checking right now too excited.) who is a super spy. Edward was the all American boy, little league, football, then his parents were killed in a car accident. He went on to the Army and 19 years ago, to keep him securely undercover, they created a split personality, which is Henry. Henry has no idea that Edward exists. Edward knows of Henry, but reluctantly allows his controllers to put Edward to sleep so that Henry can protect him.
This episode begins in Paris, Edward is there to catch a Russian bad guy. He has arranged for his favorite Russian bad girl to meet him. Edward and Natasha spend a steamy evening in their hotel overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Edward asks Natasha to help him find Uzi, she tells him it's impossible, he gets a call she takes a shower. When she comes out of the bathroom, she shoots the bed. Edward had anticipated this, and is sitting in the chair and shoots her.
When he returns to the states, his boss, played by Alfre Woodard yells at him for killing the target. Said she was needed, and Alfre's character accused Edward of killing a target to prevent someone he cared for some torture. They agree to disagree and Edward leaves.
He is met by the computer geek who is in charge of his personalities and memories. Geek guy asks if there were any continuity problems. Edward says he cut himself shaving. Geek guy goes to the billion dollar computer in the back, implants some memories of a convention in Akron, names, the fat guy on the flight, the shaving cut. Then asks Edward if he is ready to go to sleep. Edward asks if he has a choice. They show some vision irregularities and when the elevator opens out steps Henry reporting to his boss the full events of the convention in Akron, down to the fat guy on the plane. He later meets with the staff psychologist where he says he had a dream about being in Paris, and he even has a souvenir, a matchbook from the hotel in Paris.
Henry goes home, we meet the family. Basic every day white picket fence suburban family. While trying to get to sleep that night, Henry has troubles with his vision. He gets up to make a phone call to none other than geek guy. It's Edward wondering why he's awake. He asks that he be allowed to stay up for an hour to watch some baseball highlights. Geek guy calls boss lady, and asks if they should initiate termination.
Next day Henry goes back to work, has a discussion with his boss Tom (played by the brother in law on Yes Dear) about how they never get to spend any time with the family. Henry is met by the secondary boss lady who tells him he's off to solve a problem in Albany, she's already called the wife, Henry steps on to the elevator, googly eye thing, Edward gets off the elevator and is told he's going to Russia to get Uzi.
Next scene, Edward is in Russia with a sniper rifle trained on what one would presume to be Uzi. He's told not to shoot. Googly eye thing, Henry appears, quite confused as to why he's holding a sniper rifle. Accidently discharges the weapon and starts a major gun battle that Henry cannot handle. SWAT type guy comes in and rescues Henry, but not before killing half a dozen people, and getting blood all over a freaked out Henry. When they get back in the car Henry realizes it's his boss Tom. But Tom says his name is Raymond. Raymond tells Henry he has to calm down, because he has to call Tom's wife. Raymond tells his/Tom's wife that he wished he could come home but he's needed in Cleveland. After the call Raymond puts Henry in the floor boards of the truck and smuggles him out of Russia.
Henry has the finer points of his life explained to him. He is taken to Edward's house because Henry's wife isn't expecting him home for another day. Henry gets drunk, calls his wife, finds Edward's super spy stash, and his car keys. Drunk Henry decides he's going to drive himself home. Halfway home, Edward reappears, but decides to continue on the Henry's house. He goes home, wakes up the wife....The next moring Henry wakes up, confused as to why he's naked and at home. Wondering why the wife is cooking him a HUGE breakfast feast. His wife is all over him, but is interrupted by the kids needing a ride to school. Henry then notices the note in Sharpie on his hand that says "Never touch my car again" to which Henry replies, "you slept with my wife."
Back at head quarters, Henry is struggling with the thought of having his memories erased so they can reboot the program. He wants his life to be real. Alfre Woodards says "You'll think it is."
Next we see of Henry he is coming into his house. He's talking to his wife telling her he's on his way to the soccer game. The doorbell rings and there is a Russian at the door, and one behind him. They duct tape him up and threaten to kill his family if he lies to them. After a couple of close calls Henry tells them he doesn't know what they are talking about because he is two people. They go to Henry's car, to find a GPS and a shovel. Henry says Edward must have buried the treasure they are looking for and he'll help find it.
Henry is digging a hole in the desert of California, when they find a case. The main Russian has his lackey open it. At that point he tells Henry there are worse places to be buried, and goes on about how it's a shame that Henry would never get to meet Edward, that they couldn't communicate. Henry tells the Russian they do communicate and Edward had a message. Then Henry blows up the case, killing both of the Russians. He then drives home in his unscathed Chevy that was parked not ten feet away from the blast.
The entire message from Edward to Henry is played. Edward explains that he has to follow his instructions or he and his family will die. He lays out the plan that was just played out.
Henry agrees to go along with the back and forth until they can fix whatever computer problems are causing it. He just wants his life back. Henry goes to therapy and tells the therapist that he's just going through a stage in life where he is wondering if this is really his life. Paris was just a fantasy.
Finally, a message from Henry to Edward, telling Edward there is a difference between driving a guys car and driving a guys wife. Edward shuts it off and fade to black.
Previews indicate that the wife really likes Edward. I so love this show.

Eleventh Hour 10/9/08
Dr. Jacob hood is a scientific investigator. He is in Seattle investigating the possible cloning of babies. They have found 19 jars of medical waste they later determine to be attempts at cloning a human.
There is a pregnant woman, carrying a cloned baby. Her ex is a wife beater, he sees her in the grocery store and knocks her around. She is rescued by a strange woman, who describes herself as "your own personal nurse." They go to a warehouse where they have set up a makeshift clinic. She is in danger of losing the baby.
The man paying for the cloning is called Gipetto, like Pinocchio's father. Can't have a boy, you make your own. Dr. Hood and his body guard search the society pages and find a billionaire who has lost his son.
Meanwhile, the pregnant mom goes to the hospital after some serious bleeding. She'd been warned not to, she has a young boy and they have told her that DHS would take him if she did go to the hospital. They did. Once she is feeling better, she leaves her room, finds her boy and vanishes.
The cloning team finds her at her apartment. The police who have been monitoring suspicious pregnancies find out where she lives and go to her apartment. The ex gets there first and the personal nurse stabs him in the neck with scissors. When the Dr. and his body guard get there, the ex is still alive, the mom is gone, and the young boy is hiding in the room.
Dr. Hood asks the police to help him, but it might cost the police man his job.
The cloners are in another makeshift hospital. The girl is resting, the ob is scared he's going to jail, the personal nurse injects hims with something and he passes out.
The Dr. goes to the dad's house. They try to convince him that he needs to let his dead son go. They discuss their individual losses, the dad says when his son died his life was over. The dad says he just wants to see his son again. The doctor pulls out one of the jars with the dead cloned baby inside and opens it up and gives it to him. The doctor says his son is not his DNA, but every moment he ever spent with his father, every meal his mother had ever made him. Every moment his son lived is what made him his son.
The dad reveals to the doctor where they have taken the girl, the team goes and when they enter the clinic they hear the hum of a flatline. Another woman is performing CPR on the girl, the "personal nurse" attacks the body guard and gets beat up.
The doctor discovers that Gipetto is the woman performing CPR. She stops and leaves once her identity has been revealed. The doctor and the body guard try to revive her, which they do. But she lost he baby. She also cannot have any more babies.
The doctor gets a call on his cell and tells his body guard they have a situation they need to get to.
****Good, but not great. It is a Jerry Bruckheimer production, so we'll be giving it more chances.

CSI 10/9/08
Warrick is dead. Didn't think they'd do it, but he's dead.
We all know that Under Sheriff McKeen did it, we saw it at the end of last season. When Grissom gets to the scene he finds McKeen there, McKeen claims to be a witness. He was going to the diner they had all been at to tell Warrick he could keep his job. You'll remember that Warrick had just been released from jail for killing the mob boss Gedda. He didn't actually do it, a beat cop named Pritchard had killed him, and framed Warrick.
Grissom held Warrick as he died. The team shows up one by one, Grissom tells Eckle that they will be the ones processing.
They quickly determine that Pritchard did not do it. Warrick's passenger window had been rolled down, Warrick would not have rolled down his window to speak with a guy who had just framed him for murder.
The team also determines that McKeen could not have heard a gunshot from where he claimed to be. There was a night club in the alley and their music was too loud. They determine that it must be McKeen. First witness is always first suspect.
Sarah had returned to Vegas when she heard the news, as she and lab boy were at Warrick's they find out that he had a son. We later learn his ex wife had a baby, a boy named Eli. Warrick had a video of his psychological submitted to determine who was the more fit parent. On it, he says even though his father and mother had died, he had a father figure, he never says but we can assume it is Grissom.
McKeen had been keeping Pritchard in some cheap hotel, and had gone to retrieve him. They left under the guise of McKeen helping Pritchard escape to Mexico. While enroute, Brass phones him to give him an update, and also to triangulate his cell signal. They find him and Stokes goes with Brass to nab McKeen and Pritchard.
Pritchard has figured out that he's going to die if he doesn't do something drastic, he ends up shooting McKeen while they are driving down the road, hoping he'll survive the crash, he doesn't.
Nick and Brass find the crash and Nick follows a blood trail into the woods. He finds McKeen with a major stomach wound. McKeen starts to tell Nick about how he shot Warrick, how he did it because Warrick was stupid, trying to get Nick to put him out of his own misery. Brass hears a gunshot and finds Nick standing over a motionless McKeen with a gun pointed at his head.
Nick tells Brass they need to get him a medivac. Brass asks "what was that shot?"
Nick says "A miss."
Yea! Nick for keeping him miserable, keeping him alive to live with himself. Also keeping him in a great deal of pain for the foreseeable future.
At Warrick's funeral, Grissom speaks. Says the words they are trained to offer, "I'm sorry for your loss," don't offer much. He says he'll miss him.

Criminal Minds 10-8-08
The worst EVER special effect is featured in the opening scene. Hello, is it still 1970.
Prentiss and Reid are off to Colorado, to interview a polygamist who is accused of forcing underage girls to marry older men. Prentiss tells the local not to identify them as FBI agents.
The car pulls up to the ranch, which is gated. The men open the gate, and they pull up to the main compound to speak to the leader. (Played by Luke Perry, who in no way shape or form would have to force any one to marry him. We'd all go willingly.)
He points them towards the school where the girls have been gathered to be interviewed. Reid stays behind to discuss the solar panels on the ranch. The leader asks if he's surprised that they are self sufficient, Reid says "no, impressed." The leader thanks him for admitting it.
The girls give the answer that you would expect. Except when one of the girls admits that she is married to Cyrus. (oops) She says it's an honor to bear his children. Before they can ask anymore questions, the men of the compound burst in with automatic weapons and Cyrus asks them if they have any information about a "raid maybe?" Next scene is several black Suburbans speeding down the road with SWAT coming out in riot gear. They break down the door and report that the school is empty.
Everyone has been forced down into a tunnel. The Police realize that they were expected and fearing the worst the head police guy orders everyone out, where they are met with a whole lot of gunfire. SWAT is trying to break down other doors, without any success. Inside the tunnel Prentiss and Reid discover an arsenal. Cyrus tells the families that God will protect them.
Cyrus goes back above ground and tells his men to cease fire. They cannot hear him because of all of the gun play. The State Police officer that accompanied Reid and Prentiss to the compound says she'll go up and talk to them. Prentiss tries to stop her, before she can get a word out, a bullet gets her in the stomach.
Cyrus gives the police a chance to retreat and they take him up on it. The colony announces that they are gone. Reid whispers "Not for long."
The team shows up, about the same time as the Attorney General for the state, played by (the slacker attorney from Dharma and Greg, he and Greg, I mean Hotch have a fight, FUNNY)
They verify that Reid and Prentiss are ok. Rossi takes them supplies, with bugs in them, the first thing they hear is a "celebration" where they all drink wine. Guess what? Poisoned. Reid and Prentiss did not drink, but we get a close up of all the cute little kids.
Reid and Prentiss also notice that the girl who allegedly called 911 to report that there were underage marriages taking place, worshipped the leader. It was her mother that tried to come between them.
The team is all panicked, they have to go in. "No, we can't people will die." "They are already dieing."
Prentiss and Reid determine that there was no poison. Just a test to see who was going to panic and who would follow to the end. Cyrus confirms it.
Morgan is talking to the former leader. Turns out Cyrus was raised there. When he was 17 he was kicked out for messing with little girls. He came back several years later and forced the leader out. The leader is now in jail for evading taxes and more than willing to help the FBI send that "ungrateful little bastard straight to hell."
Garcia gets info, he had spent time in prison. They deduce that he is worried about returning to prison on child molestation charges. They have to convince him that he would not go to jail.
Just then the news reports that the Attorney General's office has just told them that there are undercover FBI agents inside. Cyrus comes to where Reid and Prentiss are and asks which of them is the FBI agent. He holds a gun to Reid and Prentiss says it's her. Cyrus then grabs Prentiss by the hair and drags her off while the other men hold Reid with automatic weapons.
The team sits by and listens to Prentiss get the crap kicked out of her. She is sending subliminal messages to the team who she knows is listening, telling them not to come in.
Prentiss gets cared for by the mother of the child bride. Prentiss knows that mom is a would be defector, but the mother runs off.
Reid is asked if he knew she was FBI. He says in all the time he'd worked with Nancy, the local police who was killed, she'd never lied to him. Reid is offering tips on how to test the FBI to see if they are honest. It would require them to release Prentiss and a kid. They don't want to but he reason's that it is only one kid and it will be a good exchange for information. Cyrus offers up the orphan if they tell the identity of the FBI agent. The team was listening so they know what Reid had told them.
Morgan goes to get the girl that released. Rossi tells Cyrus that her name is Emily Prentiss. They assemble everyone in the chapel. Reid sees Prentiss and apologizes. They start reading names, Reid says it's the names of those who failed the loyalty test. Cyrus tells the ones whose names ere called to get their belongings and he releases them. Cyrus then asks for 'fried chicken with all the fixins". Sounds like a last meal request to me.
Reid communicates to the team that he is looking for a sign as to when they are coming.
They scribble a note on the Fried Chicken fixins that are coming in. 3 a.m. Prentiss sticks her foot on the window to indicate where she is in the building. Morgan goes and signals to her that they are coming at three. The mom of the child bride comes to speak to Prentiss. Prentiss tells her that Cyrus is planning a mass suicide and that she knows that the mom made the 911 call. The mom says it's all her fault, she wanted to save her daughter. Prentiss tells her that the FBI is coming and that she needs to squirrel them away in the tunnels just before then. The mom leaves without saying anything.
She passes the men laying dynamite on the stairs. Rossi and Morgan are getting on their rito gear, the mom goes to start waking the children. She tells her daughter to get the women and children to the tunnels. The mom then goes to tell Prentiss that it's about to happen. Prentiss goes to find Reid. Cyrus then goes and starts shooting into the air. About that time the FBI goes in and starts picking them men off one by one. Morgan runs into Prentiss and the women and children. The child bride freaks and breaks off to go warn Cyrus.
Cyrus accuses Reid of trying to convert his brothers because he's quoting scripture. The FBI comes in and shoots the men. The child bride picks up the remote and triggers it. Reid and Morgan were inside but are ok. The child bride is the only child not to make it.
"Reason is not automatic, those who deny it cannot be conquered by it." Ayn Rand
Prentiss assures Reid that what happened to her was not his fault and they share a little moment of hand touching.
Prentiss and Reid are off to Colorado, to interview a polygamist who is accused of forcing underage girls to marry older men. Prentiss tells the local not to identify them as FBI agents.
The car pulls up to the ranch, which is gated. The men open the gate, and they pull up to the main compound to speak to the leader. (Played by Luke Perry, who in no way shape or form would have to force any one to marry him. We'd all go willingly.)
He points them towards the school where the girls have been gathered to be interviewed. Reid stays behind to discuss the solar panels on the ranch. The leader asks if he's surprised that they are self sufficient, Reid says "no, impressed." The leader thanks him for admitting it.
The girls give the answer that you would expect. Except when one of the girls admits that she is married to Cyrus. (oops) She says it's an honor to bear his children. Before they can ask anymore questions, the men of the compound burst in with automatic weapons and Cyrus asks them if they have any information about a "raid maybe?" Next scene is several black Suburbans speeding down the road with SWAT coming out in riot gear. They break down the door and report that the school is empty.

The Biggest Loser 10-8-08
Last night we left off with Amy Purple getting booted from the gym for laughing during a Jillian rant, oops. She came back and everyone was happy.
The girls spent a lot of time doing "emotional work" ie, crying. OK people, you won the losing weight lottery, get over it and get with it.
Bob's team went to Subway. He made them walk from the far end of the parking lot. Subway rocks, especially when you walk.
This weeks trainer tip. Skip the High Fructose Corn Syrup. (We're trying Bob, it's in everything)
At the weigh in, we are repeating the new thing from last week, one team falls below the yellow line and they decide amongst themselves which of them will leave. Unless Yellow falls below, since Colleen is the only member left on her team, she would automatically go home.
Brown lost 12 pounds or 2.3%.
Purple lost 9 pounds or 2.19%.
Pink lost 9 pounds or 1.95%.
Red lost 8 pounds or 1.62%
Yellow lost 3 pounds or 1.54%.
Orange lost 8 pounds or 1.4%. They needed to lose more than 8. Heba lost 8 and Ed lost ZERO.
Ed and Heba had an hour to decide which of them would go home. Ed wants her to stay, so she can get healthy enough to have a baby. Heba thinks he should stay, because he'd lose a big number next week. Good points on both sides. So Ed goes home. He said sweet things as he was leaving. Basically his wedding vows, although I doubt that he said "you're the most determined damned woman I've ever met" during the wedding, but we get it.
They lost 64 pounds in one month as a family.
When Ed arrived at the ranch he weighed 335 pounds. He has lost a total of 85 pounds. He looks amazing. He would like to weigh 180 at the finale.

The Biggest Loser 10/7/08
Due to the Presidential Debates we only got one hour tonight, but do not despair, the second hour will air tomorrow.
So, what happened? Red went home. Not for good, they cashed in their free pass home from the first week.
Purple went on their 24 hours with Jillian. Shellay kept holding on to the stair stepper. She got yelled at. Jillian has been trying to be nice. It's not working. It got worse. With five girls left on her team, they didn't do their homework, and they got yelled at BIG TIME. They didn't do the work, Jillian even kicked Amy Purple out of the gym for the day because she was laughing at her.
The challenge for the week was being suspended in a pool of water by chains, standing on a bar and holding on over head. Wobbly chains, like there are any other type. Easy at first, but the water was slowly draining out, making the chains more wobbly. One by one they fell until it was down to Amy Purple and Vickie Brown. The prize was letters from home. Brown won at 107 minutes. Of course she got to pick another team to get letters as well, she chose Purple.
Whose whining? Every girl on Jillians team. Which is all of them, now that the Dad's and only son went home. They aren't doing their homework, it hurts. WAhhhh. Vickie Brown is whining too, nothing new. But she did tell her husband that she felt he was pressuring her to spend less time in the gym. So, we'll give her a whine/not whine ratio of zero, because whining was cancelled out by standing up for herself. Go Vickie.
Tomorrow, we find out if Jillian's team will be depleted further. If they don't pull it together, Bob will win for the first time, when up against Jillian. Yeah, I know Red girl lost to him, but she was too easy, and conspicuously absent for several seasons now.

Pushing Daisies 10/1/08
Quick review of characters, who they are and where we left them.
Chuck, also known as Charlotte Charles. She'd been given the nickname Chuck, by her childhood friend Ned. They had both lost their parents on the same day, and hadn't seen each other since their parents funerals.
Ned's mother had died of a brain aneurysm, he had unknown power to bring the dead back to life. He brought his mother back when he touched her. The side effect of bringing someone back is if they are alive for longer than one minute, something else has to die. Thus, the death of Chuck's father. Later that night, when mom went to kiss Ned goodnight, the second side effect was discovered. Touch once, alive, touch twice dead forever.
Chuck,aunts Lillian and Vivian had come to live with her. Synchronized swimmers/hermits. They had grown tired of Chuck staring at the spot where her father had died, so they taught her the fine art of beekeeping.
Ned had been taken, by his father, to a boarding school. He never saw Chuck until he found out she had died. He went, and brought her back.
Lillian and Vivian were under the impression that Chuck was dead, because she had, well died. Chuck had been sending pies to them through a lady that worked at the Pie Hole, Olive. Olive was in love with Ned, but could not compete with Chuck. Olive knew that Lillian and Vivian thought Chuck was dead, she thought Chuck had faked her death to get out of the grasp of her hermitous, cheese loving aunts. Of course she hadn't. During one of Olive's visits, she learned that Aunt Lily was really Chuck's mom, Lily had told her never to return now that she knew her secret.
Ned, Emerson (a detective that exploits Ned's powers for financial gain)Chuck and Olive were in the Pie Hole one night, when aunts Lillian and Vivian walk through the front door. Vivian screaming "I thought you were dead." She was talking about Olive, since Olive had not been by in several months with her mood enhancing pie. Chuck had crawled into the back.
Olive finally snapped with all of the secrets that she was holding. Not telling the aunts that Chuck was really alive, not telling Chuck that Lily was actually her mother, not being able to tell Ned that she really loved him. She finally said she'd had enough, and quit.
Next time we see Olive she has been taken to a Nunnery, she's running through the fields ala "Sound of Music" while there, Lilian reveals even more secrets. Chuck's father had once been Vivian's fiance, and that she had come to the convent to give birth to Chuck.
Chuck meanwhile, was missing her friend Olive. Olive had also lived next door to Ned and Chuck and now that she was gone, Chuck was missing her. She was also missing the fact that she'd never lived alone. She wanted to move in the Olive's apartment. Ned was crushed. He'd spent so much time alone, he didn't want to return.
Vivian came by the Pie Hole later, wishing she could move on from Chuck, Ned suggested she get rid of all of Chuck's things, he'd even go and get them. (aaahhh) He went and got them and moved Chuck into Olive's apartment. Realizing that love does not hold back.

Criminal Minds 10/1/08
Is it just me or does Criminal Minds have the best/worst suspense moments. We know the person is going to get killed, but yikes, it scares me.
Opening scene is a woman getting bludgeoned with a hammer.
Hotch is in trying to get approved to return to duty. Says the ringing in his ears doesn't bother him as much as the pain. He pulls the "you will sign off on my return to duty?" Jedi mind trick, and she says she will as long as he promises to stay out of noisy situations. Mmmm hmmm.
The team is off to Ohio because the woman who got bludgeoned had also been raped. The DNA came back to a man known as the Angel Maker, who had been executed a year to the day before.
Hotch has problems on the plane with his ears, and ignores Morgan's question as to whether he'd been cleared for duty.
In Ohio the murder scene is identical to the Angel Maker's previous crimes, including details not released to the public. One of the signatures of the killer is random screw driver holes punched in the stomach post mortem. All of them different in pattern and number.
To the prison where the execution took place. They interview a guard who "knows nothing" but later ends up dead. In his apartment they find all of the memorabilia that is being sold to commemorate the Angel Maker. Also found in his apartment, a bottle of Viagra, and the team deduces that the unsub is a woman. They also deduce that if the guard could smuggle out all of his creations, it would be no problem to smuggle out some sperm to give to the copycat killer.
There are rumors floating around the small town, that the Angel Maker made good on his promise to return from the dead. The sheriff in an attempt to quell the panic, has the body exhumed. Guess what. No body.
So, we know there is killer sperm floating around out there, none appears to have been sold on Ebay, or anything creepy like that. Besides planting misleading DNA evidence to exonerate a serial killer, what else can we use sperm for? Oh, yeah, babies. Garcia checks the local birth records and discover that one of the jurors who convicted the Angel Maker had given birth to a baby, it had died shortly after birth. They check the latest victims schedules and determine that both had met with said juror the day they were killed.
They found letters that had been exchanged between the Angel Maker and several local women. One revealed they were in love, and admitted that she had once received a letter that was not intended for her. Her love letters were all eloquent, and the one addressed to "My Dove" were lame. They pull the letters to the Dove and realized they are encrypted messages. Reid says he'd need the ability to clone himself and a years supply of Adderall to solve the puzzle without the key. But he did it anyway.
Morgan and Prentiss were outside, admiring the night sky when Prentiss noticed one of the constellations looked a lot like the post mortem screw driver holes on the latest victim. She looked it up and found that all of the 6 women that the Angel Maker and 2 of the women from the copycat killer had the constellations stabbed into them. They also learned that this group of constellations, contained 9 groups. Meaning they were looking for the copycat's next victim.
The team goes over to the juror's house, she's gone. She has a wonderfully decorated nursery, with all of the constellations on the ceiling. In the corner, a trunk, containing the body of dear old dad. What nursery decor is complete without a body? They discover that the killer had an appointment with her accountant that day. They race over to the accountants house, only to find that the copycat killer's car is out front. Luckily, they find that all of the windows are still closed, one of the signatures of the killer is that they opened all of the windows after the killing to release the soul to the heavens.
Just as the copycat is about to bludgeon the CPA, the team starts up the lights and sirens in the front yard (good for Hotch's ears), and Prentiss starts reading carefully crafted note cards that Reid had prepared to throw off the killer. Morgan sneaks in the back, gets the intended victim out of the house. The killer makes her way to the front yard, looks skyward and says "I'm coming baby" and pulls a gun. Causing her to get shot, also good for Hotch. They discover she had stabbed the final constellation in her own stomach, to finish the job her beloved had started.
Hotch opts to drive back to Quantico.

Morgan sneaks in the back, gets the intended victim out of the house. The killer makes her way to the front yard, looks skyward and says "I'm coming baby" and pulls a gun. Causing her to get shot, also good for Hotch. They discover she had stabbed the final constellation in her own stomach, to finish the job her beloved had started.
Hotch opts to drive back to Quantico.
America's Got Talent 10/1/08
This is the results show for the finals. So they are showcasing all of the talent from this past season. First song was performed by the Final Ten. Then they had messages for the Top Five. Il Divo cheered on Neal E. Boyd, Marc Cohn had a message for Eli Mattson. Bryan McKnight gave a shout out to Queen Emily. Andrew Lloyd Weber had a message of Donald Braswell. Last but not least Wyclef Jean had a few nice things to say for the boys of Nuttin but Stringz. (Who by the way are all over Noggin these days).
We had to relive just about every moment of the summer. The good. The bad. And especially the ugly. Then we had to have every cute moment. High lighting the favorites. Every scream of joy. Every crushing moment.
I'm glad that America proved the judges wrong and sent Donald Braswell as far as they did. What were they thinking putting the floppy doodle mascots through to a million dollar contest?
We drew it out as long as we possibly could....
5th place goes to Queen Emily. (I'm shocked by this)
4th place goes to Donald Braswell (called it, but he rocks and ALW loves him)
3rd place goes to Nuttin but Stringz (WTHeck? thought they'd upset Neal)
So, I can't believe it comes down to Eli Mattson and Neal E. Boyd. Of course my guess is Neal. And boy are they looking like they are going to puke. Eli is a little cooler though. But has a much broader audience, so he'll be fine.
Now we go over the perks. The show at the MGM in Vegas. And the "how is this going to change your life?" questions. And instead of reliving their summer after the announcement, we relive them both before the announcement. Again, they are just barely holding it together. Just staring ahead saying to themselves, "don't puke."
There was less than 1/2 of 1% difference between the two..
AND THE WINNER IS.....
Neal E. Boyd
From the beginning I called that. He rocks. And he lost it, which I would have totally done too. And a special message from Placido Domingo. And now he has to pull it together and sing.
I don't think the judges said two words all night, except for the pre-interview stuff.

Ok, the winner is announced. I'll save the surprise for it to play out Pacific time. But it totally rocks, and I totally called it. Wahoo, congratulations to the winner. Check back at midnight central.
10/1/08 Bones- The Crank in The Shaft on Fox
The episode starts out with lots of office-y people on an elevator, talking office-y things when one person, followed by the rest start smelling something bad. Then the elevator lurches and down falls part of a woman's lower leg including high heel pump.
Bones and Booth are talking with Sweets with Booth talking about wanting his recently deceased coworker's chair when they get the call for the elevator. Cam and Bones and Booth examine the crime scene where the victim is in pieces and smears of flesh in the elevator shaft. Cam hypothesizes that she was dead before she was jammed down the shaft. Booth notices a joint at the roof opening to the elevator shaft.
Bones has a new assistant (the guy from Dodgeball who was in love with the unibrow girl on the Cobras) who has to sort through over 1000 bone fragments. Cam has Hodgins take a bow recovered from various parts found at the scene to Angela. They have an awkward exchange where they agree to be professional. The new assistant determines that the vic fell from the top floor or the machine shop above it.
Bones and Booth go back to the office. Patty, the likely candidate for the victim, was seen on Friday, but hasn't been into work since. A manager directs them to Ted who the manager knows has smoked a little marijuana. Ted denies this, but then they let him know DNA can be lifted from the cigarette paper on the joint they found and he admits he does smoke a little weed because he's an artist, man. Booth brings him for interrogation. Ted denies killing Patty.
Angela tells Bones about the tension between her and Hodgins. Bones says she is fond of both of them, but since Angela is her best friend she could fire Hodgins. Angela says no she doesn't want that and Bones says thanks she would have disliked doing that. Bones is happy to have helped.
Hodgins tells the new assistant(very emo) that the victim's sweater has dust on back and front and stains on sweater. FBI techs find corresponding stains from copy room. They also discover an angry email to Patty from Dave Farfield. The manager admits that the guy was aware of the fact he was fired because of Patty.
Dave is brought in for interrogation. Dave is ticked because "keying a car is a federal offense?" He admits he keyed her car, but didn't know she was killed. Dave says Patty is a bitch and that many of her coworkers did not like her.
New Assistant has an almost complete reconstruction of the crushed and crumbled skeleton, but thinks he sucks because he's missing a few pieces and hasn't discovered cause of death.
Angela asks Sweets for advice on dealing with Hodgins. Sweets urges her to dig deeper into why the realatioship started and why it ended. Sweets tries to set her up with twice daily therapy visits, but Angela turns him down and thanks him for the help.
Hodgins finds another stain on the skirt. While he starts to ask Cam about Angela, she discovers the stain is semen. She also found a semen stain on the carpet. Booth discovers that Patty ordered food Friday night on her boss' credit card . Booth and Bones go to the office to ask the boss for his whereabouts and a DNA sample.
Boss-man says Patty was a good employee but nothing else. The credit card charges are very provactive. Boss says Patty was blackmailing him to use the card for personal things to cover up with his overordering of supplies and reselling on-line.
New assistant determines she was pushed from the 16th floor and not disarticulated prior to fall. Copy floor and skirt semen match, but not to the boss Anglea tries to clear everything up and ease tension with Hodgins; both are smiling at end.
Booth is still in pursuit of his office chair. Theorizes it may have taken two people to hold elevator open. New assistant caqn find no cause of death, but an inrregualrity on a bone in a skull. Bones looks closer and they find she was killed by a staple in the temporal bone that aggravated an already present aneurysm. Hodgins discovers that the stain is because of a Blue Hawaiian (served at Paradise Isle where Dave had been drinking his troubles away with former coworker Chip).
They bring in Chip for interrogation. Chip admits to sleeping with Patty. Chip hit Patty in the head with a stapler and she dropped. He says he panicked and dragged her up and threw her down the shaft. Booth challenged his ability to open the elevator. The receptionist admits to a realationship with Chip and Patty threatened to turn them in and the distraught receptionist admits to killing and disposing of Patty.
Booth gets his chair and Bones says she put in a good word with HR for him to get the chair. Booth discovers the chair is not as great as he thought, but is determined to make the best of it.
