Biggest Loser 11: The Final Four Without Austin

Tonight was a bit of a shocker at the final weigh-in. It has been for the most part this season on Biggest Loser 11. There were more mental challenges this week for the final five, with a $10,000 prize for the winner. Hannah and Olivia still seem to be running with momentum for the finish line.

It seemed like Jay was the obvious choice to go home this week after the last few weigh-ins have been less than stellar for him. It was Austin who fell short though. Losing only one pound in the weigh-in, young Austin was eliminated and will now have to compete for the home prize.

The Apprentice: Stephanie Gets Canned (Liza slips into the final 4)

The Apprentice - The Complete First SeasonTonight The Apprentice started with a recap of last week’s excitement. This time that statement was really true. The recap of Anand getting busted for cheating will make Trump’s greatest worst moments film archive. Then we saw Clint, at his meeting after winning the task, with Barry Sternlicht a real estate developer and founder of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Clint also won a $5000 Peir One Imports gift card. Nice!

The Apprentice final five are: Clint, Steuart, Brandy, Stephanie and Liza. I think at least two could go home at the beginning of this episode and it would just speed up the process. Stephanie talks a big game, but no one wants to work with her. Liza has show little or no initiative on any task and is the only one left that did not win as a PM.

Hell's Kitchen 2010: The Final Four

We are finally down to the final four chefs on Hell's Kitchen 2010. Chef Gordon Ramsay could have easily cut the cast to the final two last week, but stretched things for a little extra cussing and drama. The final four are: Jay, Holli, Ben and Autumn.

Ben and Autumn should have been cut last week if what we saw on TV was anything close to what really happened. Autumn continues to fumble through the kitchen and "helping" other chefs, and usually earning a stiff reprimand from Ramsay (of course Autumn never takes responsibility for her mistakes so Ramsay is screaming to the wind).

Ben, on the other hand, started out leading Hell's Kitchen with Jay. His lack of communication and utter disdain for the other cooks has left him at the bottom with Autumn. Both are circling the drain.

Hopefully Chef Ramsay will name blue haired Jay (ick) and Holli as the final two contestants next week on Hell's Kitchen. Then they will rejoin teams of evicted chefs and the drama will start again for the finale.

The Amazing Race Final 4 in 2 Parts

Cara & Jaime lead the first leg
CBS Sunday 8/7c 4/26/2009


This season of the CBS hit The Amazing Race is getting down to the wire. With only 4 teams left in the race it's becoming another battle of wills. Who wants it more this time? The final 4 teams of The Amazing Race are: Lakisha & Jennifer, Victor & Tammy, Margie & Luke, and Cara & Jaime. That is the order the teams started in tonight.

The only constant in The Amazing Race is that everything changes by the end of the hour...everything. The teams had to endure the cultures of China tonight, including a foot massage and a swim in the Olympic pool. Sounds fun... nope!

In the fashion of every Race Roadblock, tonight's turned out to be harder (read more painful) than they looked.

First a 'cleansing' foot massage. I felt sorry for Luke on this one. He volunteered eagerly (almost demanded) and could not hear the screams and moans of anguish the ladies before him were enduring. See, the key to this foot massage is to push ones thumb up through the center of the receivers foot with all of your strength. The tiny ladies administering these sadistic looking 'massages' looked like they were enjoying it way too much.

After everyone survived the first Race Roadblock, it was on to the Olympic site. The Amazing Race final 4 hit the detour (where 2 tasks are available and they must choose and complete one). This week's was all about swimming and Michael Phelps, or diving like the Chinese.

Only Victor and Tammy chose to dive. Both divers had to jump off a spring board and hit the water at exactly the same time, and receive a score of 5 from both judges. It turned out to be a bad choice for Victor and Tammy. They eventually gave up and went to the other task, but not before dropping to a far 3rd.

The other teams all chose to swim like Michael Phelps...well, not quite. Each Racer had to swim the length of the Olympic pool twice. It was not pretty. Jennifer had a major meltdown, as a non-swimmer. Her sister Lakisha stayed with her and talked her through it, assuming they were out of the Amazing Race. "Finish strong" became their montra.

When the last place starting team of Jaime & Cara showed up at what they thought was their first 1st place pit stop Phil Keoghan told them it was just the first leg and gave them another clue. Wow, bummer for them!

Margie & Luke are hot on the heals of Jaime & Cara. Victor & Tammy are in 3rd with a larger gap. Lakisha & Jennifer do not know they are still in it yet, let's hope they do finish the 'leg' strong.

Next week we'll see the end of this double leg of The Amazing Race, and find out who is in the final 3. And who is Racing for $1,000,000.00!

Watch Every NCAA Tournament Online for Free at NCAASports.com


By Lee Andrew Henderson, published Mar 20, 2008

The first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament is one of the most exciting events in all of college sports, that is why they call it March Madness. However, the NCAA Tournament can also be very frustrating because of the coverage by CBS. Most of the time viewers of the NCAA Tournament have to watch "regional coverage" when they'd rather watch the best game going on at the time...
