Well, I should have known it – the British bloke falls for the bleached blonde bimbo. But then, I was really not a big fan of Chelsea’s either.

Matt took each girl to London to meet his family. His brother Simon seemed to like Chelsea better, but mom and dad liked Shayne. Matt admitted that he felt the most passion for Chelsea but was most at ease with Shayne. Then all three went to Barbados. As usual, the show played up Chelsea. She finally opened up to Matt and gave him a gift of all the stuff he would need in California. Matt called her incredible. In addition, it seemed like he couldn’t get his lips off hers as he tried to leave the her room. Then he and Shayne went parasailing. She gave him a present too. It was a photo of her on the beach, writing, “I love you” in the sand. He said it melted his heart, but we saw him barely kiss her goodbye before he left.

This past week on Top Chef had the producers bringing back two of the all time favorite Top Chef challenges.  The cynic in me wonders if they really are fan favorites, or if the producers are running out of things to do.

The Quickfire challenge had the contestants entering the kitchen to see Tom Colicchio standing with Padma.  They were told that these favorites were returning and that they would need to draw knives to divide into two teams.  The knives had either a fork or a spoon on them and here’s how they ended up:

Fork: Richard, Andrew, Stephanie, Antonia
Spoon: Spike, Lisa, Nikki, Dale

Semi finals night on Dancing With the Stars, and all of the celebrities were pretty good in their performances.  Tonight the dances they performed were picked randomly out of a hat, and lifts were once again banned by the judges.  Do a lift, be penalized in points.

Here’s my take on tonight’s show.

Jason and Edyta.  The first dance they performed was the Foxtrot.  The judges loved it, calling it fantastic and truly beautiful.  It was the first dance Jason ever performed on the show so you could see so much improvement in int.  He got a perfect score from Len and a total score of 28 for the dance.  Their second dance was the Paso Doble.  For some reason it just didn’t do anything for me at all.  It just semed kind of forced or that Jason was trying way too hard.  The judges thought he attached the dance, and Bruno said he looked like a matador.  He got a 27 for this dance, leaving them with a total score of 55 out of 60 for the night and in third place on the leaderboard.

What we thought was the final immunity challenge was won by Amanda, but then Jeff put a bug in everyone’s ear by mentioning a final two. Cirie, Amanda, and Parvati, in an alliance since the beginning, voted out Natalie. But after a brief celebration, they didn’t find food, but treemail telling them to get ready for their final immunity challenge.

Amanda won that one too and had to decide whom to take with her to the final tribal council. Parvati was stupid in telling Amanda that Cirie couldn’t win even if she went, but Amanda was more stupid in not listening. Amanda voted out Cirie and took Parvati to the final in a case of loyalty over intelligence.

This week’s episode almost made me physically ill. I had read in TV Guide that Jeff said the stupidest Survivor moment ever was coming up this week, but I had no idea how stupid it actually was.

Erik kept telling all the girls different things. Then, he realized his mistake. He told Natalie he would send her to Exile if he won the reward challenge, then sent Parvati and took Amanda with him to the luxury resort. It looked bad for Natalie until she pointed out to the others that he was trying to play them all.

Well, if you have a drinking problem and you only have four months sober, going to the Real World house is probably not the best plan, as it proved for Joey this week. He freaked out – scaring the girls and even Dave. He got super drunk, drinking everything in sight, and then started banging his head against the door, hit himself in the face, etc. He said he wanted out of the house and finally called the producers. They talked him into going to rehab for 30 days. I hope he can get his problems under control – this kid is adorable when sober, but one hot mess when he is drunk. From his outbursts, the problems seem to run deeper than just alcohol abuse – he feels alone, like no one cares about him. The producers told him after rehab, he could come back to the house if he wanted.

This episode also dealt with Brianna and her legal woes. She chose Will to go with her to Philly to court. Maybe that set Joey off, maybe it didn’t, but she thought it did. Will kept her from dressing like a stripper to go to court. And, speaking of stripping – was that a double wide she was working in? Will called it a hole in the wall and I think that was too much of a compliment. She saw her ex, Bobby, and is still in love with him, even though her mom tells her to drop him. Bobby dropped the charges, but Brianna still has to go back to court. I guess not that Joey is gone, Brianna can fill in the “messed up roommate” shoes.

Well, Simon told Jason to pack his bags last night after flubbing Dylan lines and tonight on “American Idol,” it became official. Jason and Syesha were the bottom vote getters and for a minute, I was afraid maybe Syesha’s fan base (if the poor thing has one – I think she’s been on the bottom now more than Kristy Lee!) had betrayed her and Jason’s girls had pushed him through to another week.

But no, after much fluff about the Idols going to Vegas to see the Beatles’ Love Cirque show, Maroon 5, and Bo Bice singing, we were told Jason was leaving. Ryan told him “I almost feel like you’re a little relieved” and I think he was. He was just over his head – he knew it.

It was the 2nd Annual Shot at Love Bi-Athlon which pitted the boys against the girls for a date with Tila. The contestants had to wear flippers and goggles as they swam to retrieve a pearl necklace, bobbed for blue balls, then slid on a slip-and-slide. The guys had a big lead, but then the girls caught up and actually won because Chad couldn’t get one of the balls. The guys had to dress for the Loser’s Prom while the girls got to go to school with Teacher Tila. They played with blow up dolls, had show and tell, and used the Robospanker. Lisa got a one on one date and felt a connection with Tila. Tila had alone time with Lauryn, but she kept talking about what a good friend she would be – Tila is looking for love!

While the girls were gone, the guys conducted a panty raid, which resulted in a fight because the girls were NOT happy about having their underwear hanging up. Things got heated and Kristy even called Jay’s mom a “ho.” Samantha started crying, a state she stayed in most of this show, because everyone was so mean to each other.
