It all came down to this on “Project Runway” – Bryant Park. Carol Hannah was still hurling, but thankfully she started feeling better before the actual day of the show.

The judges were Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and Suzy Menkes, fashion editor of the International Herald Tribune. I wondered how much Michael Kors could see with his sunglasses on.

Wow, just wow. Has there ever been a “Survivor” contestant as skillful as Russell? Okay, I was ready to give him props when he was running Foa Foa, but now, he has irreversible broken Galu. Foa Foa came in with four people to Galu’s eight – seemingly impossible odds against them. Yet, after tonight’s vote, the remaining Foa Foa tribe members are running the show.

Russell was on the team that won the challenge and they got a clue to the whereabouts of the hidden immunity idol. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before…Russell goes hunting and finds the hidden immunity idol…again. This time though, he didn’t share the find and didn’t have to use it.

This was the last “Top Chef” challenge in Las Vegas. The Quick Fire Challenge was to create a version of chef Gavin Kaysen’s dish that combined a protein in a protein in a protein. When Padma tasted Jennifer’s dish, she told her “Welcome back” and Jen ended up winning the challenge. She got the advantage of 30 extra minutes in the Elimination Challenge.

The Elimination Challenge was to create a regal presentation platter with one protein and two garnishes. The could chose lamb or salmon as their protein and would be cooking for 12 special guests, including Thomas Keller. Oh yeah, and the winner got $30,000 and a chance to compete in the 2011 Bocuse d’Or.

It was Makeover Week on “Biggest Loser.” Tim Gunn was there – I love Tim Gunn – but it didn’t’ see as grand as usual. They didn’t go to Macy’s to pick out clothes and I didn’t see them give the contestants gift certificates to buy new clothes. Maybe the economy has finally had an effect on “Biggest Loser.” Everyone did get to see family members, which is always fun.

The contestants had to give a motivational speech to a crowd. Jillian and Bob were surprised to hear Rudy say his sister died of cancer when he was young. After confronting him about it, Jillian finally got him to admit that that was when he started putting on weight.

Next week’s “So You Think You Can Dance” will feature two performances by each dancer, but this week, two more had to go home. Despite praises from the judges, Mollee and Nathan found themselves in the bottom three. Joining them there were Karen and Kevin and Channing and Victor.

Nigel had nothing but good things to say about Mollee’s solo, so she was told she was safe. Nigel told Channing that her personality was not coming out and Karen has personality plus, so Channing was going home.

It’s the semi finals results show for Dancing With The Stars. Right away we see the encore performance – Mya and Dmitry’s Salsa. Since I wasn’t overly fond of it last night I didn’t care if I would see it again. How about Kelly’s Quickstep or Rumba? Only my opinion. It’s followed by the recap of last night’s show. At least the producers had the decency to show us a dance first and the recap second. The first elimination announcement follows. Or so we think…..we get some dramatic comments about the remaining couples to hear Tom Bergeron that the first couple safe will be revealed…..shortly. Ugh.

Following the commercial break there is a bit on the remaining celebrities commenting on the other celebrities. It’s followed by a performance from the movie Nine that’s coming out in December.

Alicia Keys performs after the break. She’s accompanied by some dancers who aren’t the pros from the show. A music video where the remaining celebrities lip synch to David Bowie’s “Under Pressure.” Donny is such a natural performer, no matter what he is doing. Tom calls down Mya and Dmitry and Joanna and Derek. They reveal that Mya and Dmitry are safe, and that we have to wait to find out about Joanna and Derek. In show speak, later on Tom says this meant they were in jeopardy.

Leona Lewis performs a song from her new CD after the commercial break. She too is accompanied by dancers who are not pros from the show. I hate that. Nothing against the dancers that are brought into the show, but I prefer to watch the pros. Donny and Kym and Kelly and Louis are called out for an elimination announcement. We find out that Donny and Kym are safe. Read: Kelly and Louis are in jeopardy.

Check out an all new episode of the MTV show The Hills tonight at 10:30 pm. Here are a few sneak peeks from this upcoming episode:

There’s a new episode of the MTV reality program The Hills tonight at 10 pm.  Heidi decides to form a plan to get pregnant without Spencer’s consent, while Brody and Jayde argue.  Here are a few clips from tonight’s show.

It’s the semi finals week on Dancing With The Stars, and each of the couples are to perform three dances including the knockout dance they’ve been practicing for weeks. A solo is also required in each of the Latin dances. Here’s my take on the performances, in the order they danced.

Donny and Kym. They performed a Tango for their first dance. Poor Donny. Kym had problems with her dress and I’m not sure if that was the issue or the fact that he was all in his head about doing well but the performance was lacking. Bruno said that while he was usually a master of disguising his problems tonight he completely lost it, and Carrie Ann said there was no drama on the dance floor. They got 21 out of 30 for this performance.

Joanna and Derek. Their first dance tonight was the Viennese Waltz. I thought she looked beautiful and the dance had a gorgeous flow. Bruno said that she had the grace of angels. Carrie Ann said it took her breath away. Len said that overall it was a most beautiful dance. They scored 27 out of 30 for this dance.

Kelly and Louis. The Rumba was their first dance tonight. I was kind of surprised by Kelly. While she isn’t the strongest dancer left in the competition she did a really great performance and I enjoyed watching it. Carrie Ann said that she has a magical quality that reaches right into her heart, and that she was moved to tears by the performance. Len said that it wasn’t her best dance, but not her worst either, and that she has turned into a very competent dancer. Bruno said she was very endearing, but the performance was lacking sexuality or sensuality. He didn’t use these words but you could tell that was what he was trying to say in his very Bruno-esque type of way. Their score was 24 out of 30.

Mya and Dmitry. Their first dance was the Waltz. It was nice but nothing special to me. I swear I saw a lift at the end of the performance but was it just me? Or is Carrie Ann growing soft in her old age and not docking the scores? Len said it was a joy to watch. Bruno called it love set to music. Carrie Ann said she loved it too, but felt Mya was lacking a bit in her connection in hold. They got 28 out of 30 for this first dance.
