This week on “Amazing Race,” it seemed to come down to directions. The teams were in Reim, France and had to go to the Cathedral, or as Dan and Jordan called it “Cathy Drone.” Once there, they had to find the statue of Joan of Arc. I was amazed that Jordan and Caite both thought Joan of Arc was a dude.
After finding the statue, the teams had to go to Champagne Leclere Briant. Once there, they faced a Detour. One teammate had to rappel 100 feet down into a cavern of the winery then find a specially labeled bottle. After returning to the top, they got to cut the top off with a sabre.

The first crew to learn they were safe was Jungle Boogie. They had to do hot glides from “Love in this Club.” Because they are from Atlanta like Usher, Jungle Boogie felt some pressure to live up to his expectations. I liked the performance, but JC said it started bland, but had some hot moments. Omarion said they showed musicality and did great. Lil Mama said they were hot and clean.

The “Project Runway” challenge was to create a day and night outfit based on inspiration from a NYC neighborhood. Everyone was excited until Tim told them they would be working in teams of twos. You could just see faces drop.
Tim drew the team leader’s names. Anthony was drawn first and chose to work with Maya and their neighborhood was Chinatown. Amy chose to work with Jonathan and their neighborhood was the Upper East Side. Emilio chose to work with Seth Aaron, not because he necessarily liked Seth Aaron, but because he didn’t want to work with Mila. Their neighborhood was Harlem. As the last team leader chosen, Jay knew he was screwed and he got stuck with Mila. They hate each other. Their neighborhood was the East Village. Continue Reading Project Runway: Amy is Out
The remaining crews will all be performing to music by Usher on tonight’s episode of America’s Best Dance Crew. It airs at 10:00 pm on MTV. Usher has a personalized video message for each of the five remaining crews in which he challenges each of them.
BLUEPRINT CRU: All hands are on Usher in the video “Hey Daddy,” so the dancers must incorporate an amazing hand section that highlights one of the members in their crew.
HYPE 5-0: In the video “U Don’t Have To Call,” dancers storm into the club with huge moves. Hype must start their routine with a grand entrance, à la Usher.
JUNGLE BOOGIE: Glides, glides and more glides. They have to keep it smooth and silky, just like in the music video for “Love In This Club.”
POREOTIX: In the song “Yeah,” the chorus sings, “Take that and rewind it back,” so this crew’s gotta do some dope Usher moves in reverse!
SALTARE: The jumpers need to bring the 1920s gangsta-themed video “Caught Up” to life using some killer fight choreography.
There’s an all new episode of The Real Housewives of New York City tonight at 10:00 pm on Bravo. This should be good – it’s the first time Jill and Bethenney have run into each other after Bethenney told Jill to get a hobby.
Tonight on “American Idol,” Simon mentioned the “save.” The judges can save one contestant this season, if they so desire.
After David Cook sang, the commercials, the contestants customizing cars, we finally got some results. Paige learned she was in the bottom three. Personally, I thought Paige was gone last week and Lillie should have stayed. Lee, Siobhan (whom Ellen likened to Snooki’s poof last night), Aaron, and Andrew were told they were safe. But, Tim’s reggae version of “Under My Thumb” sent him to the bottom three. Continue Reading American Idol: Lacey Leaves
It was Rolling Stones week on “American Idol.” First up was Michael with “Miss You.” Randy thought he slayed it and Kara said he was hot on stage, but Simon said part of it was desperate and corny. Didi sang “Play with Fire” and the judges loved it. Simon said she was finally showing them what kind of artist she was and Randy said she was on fire tonight. Casey sang “It’s All Over Now.” Randy said he was back and loved the bluesy/rock feel. Kara said he was a rockstar on stage, but Simon disagreed, saying it needed more.
Lacey sang “Ruby Tuesday” but the judges were not thrilled with the performance. Randy called it an interesting arrangement and I don’t think he meant that in a good way. Ellen called it “sleepy” and Simon told her to quit over-thinking everything. Andrew did “Gimme Shelter” and Randy said it was pitchy, but Ellen called it his best performance yet. Kara wanted to feel the song more, but Simon said she was taking things too literally. The judges liked Katie’s version of “Wild Horses.” Simon said it was the only week when she had chosen a strong song and she gave it 100%. Continue Reading American Idol: The Top 12 Perform
The “Biggest Loser” pop challenge tonight was to answer food questions. They were playing for a day at the spa and the Blue Team won when Michael answered the last question correctly. The Black Team got to clean the kitchen.
While the Blue Team had a good time, they wanted to take their workout seriously and not ease up on their weight loss. Bob warned them to not get too cocky after last week’s win. Continue Reading Biggest Loser: Sherry Leaves the Ranch
