The Hills: The Ultimatum

I sort of missed Lauren this episode, but her friends (and ex-friend Heidi) more than made up for her peripheral presence.

Audrina is playing the field and meeting some really nice guys, but it seems her heart is still with Justin Bobby. Isn't that always the way? He ruins a sultry evening with Audrina and proves that he's not just a jerk, but he's an idiot. The two are in the pool nearly naked, and he decides to assert his freedom and remind her that he's free to date other people. Ummm. OK. His timing seemed awkward to me, but I understand little about men, so whatever...

Spencer is a man few people understand. As a matter of fact, Heidi may be the only one to have unlocked that mystery, which may be why he holds on so tightly to his lady love. After weeks of living with Heidi and Holly, Spencer decides to give his girlfriend an ultimatum. Someone's leaving the house, and if it's not Holly, Spencer will oblige.

Of course, Heidi caves and basically kicks her sister out of the house. Where will homeless Holly end up? My guess is she will reach out to Lauren, but we'll see.

What did you think of Spencer's ultimatum? Was it necessary? Was Holly mooching? Do you find Spencer scary possessive of Heidi? Should Audrina make it work with JB or move on with a more attentive dude?

Heroes: Villains All Around

Which heroes are good? Which are bad? The line is becoming more and more blurred from week to week. The long list of murderous heroes is growing. Even Claire attempted to pull the trigger on Vortex Man, but she didn't have the heart.

Claire did have the heart to stand up to her father, who tried to force a man to kill Sylar. Instead, Vortex Man sacrificed himself. However, the whole troublesome event forced Claire to see her father in a different light. Will Noah ever see the humanity of those people with powers? Sylar suggests not.

Poor Mohinder. I'm not sure what he's turning into, but it conjures images of "The Fly," and I think we're finally rid of Maya ... thank goodness.

I know Hiro has the power to go back in time, so maybe that's why he failed to give a second thought before killing his BFF Ando. Will Hiro go back and undo what he did? He has to. Right?

What do you think? Will Hiro and Ando be reunited, and if so, will they be friends? What the heck is going on with Mohinder? Where has Papa Patrelli been all this time? Will Nathan turn to the dark side now that he knows his powers are divine? Will everyone from "The Wire" be making appearances this season?

I Love Money: Reunion Show

The "I Love Money" reunion show was anti-climactic. I guess I've become accustomed to chairs and weaves flying through the air, punches being thrown and security bombarding the stage. So, this reunion show was tame ... a nice change of pace.

Highlights:
1) Everyone hates Heather for playing the game the best.
2) Hoopz and Real are not getting married. Surprise! Not.
3) White Boy and the Stallionaires have reconciled.
4) Pumkin has lost weight, but still has the filthiest mouth on TV.
5) The Entertainer is STILL living at home.

That was about it. See?

ANTM: Awkward Girl Wins Awkward Challenge

On the latest episode, the ladies were taught about signature poses. It seemed like an awkward concept, since models have to have several different poses in their repertoire. However, Marjorie seemed to grasp the idea better than most, and she won the first challenge. She was also called first at elimination, and her "urinating" picture was one of the best. She makes her awkwardness work for her. Kudos!

Lauren Brie was eliminated. There's not much to say. She wasn't doing a great job, and she was cut. Sheena, who has been added to the Model Portfolio on the CW site, was in the bottom two this week. She's caught somewhere between trying not to look "hoochie" but still letting loose. We know the judges can't stand reserved or controlled (as Elina can attest to). So, will their advise backfire for Sheena? We shall see.

McKey seems to be wow-ing the judges, and they also liked Joslyn's photo this week; although, I think her week one photo was her best, but who asked me?

What do you think? Should Lauren Brie or Sheena have been sent home? Will Sheena be able to tone down the sexy? Will Marjorie's awkwardness take her to the top? What was up with Little Black Riding Hood?

Housewives of ATL: Ghetto Fabulousness

Loved it. Loved it. That was the most entertaining and authentic demonstration of ghetto fabulousness I've seen since "Being Bobby Brown."

The series premiere of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" was better than I expected. I will be tuning in next week to find out if Sheree and NeNe are going to come to blows. LOL. It seems the two had some beef from before the show aired, but Sheree invited NeNe to her birthday party -- a social event -- to bury the hatchet, sort of speak.

Instead, the hatchet got buried in NeNe's back. She was obviously excited about the party and reconciling with Sheree, but after getting prepped and primped, NeNe found herself dissed! Her name was not on the guest list, and she was not allowed into the party.

How awful!

To make things worse, Sheree didn't even come out to speak to her humiliated friend. NeNe left in a hurry, and it's obvious this feud is not over.

The most sensible, and therefore my favorite, housewife seems to be Lisa. She's happily married and seems very comfortable with herself. We'll see, though. At this point, it's too early to pledge allegiance to any character.

So, did you watch the premiere? What did you think? Will you be tuning in? Did Sheree purposely leave NeNe off the list, or was it an oversight? Will the ladies be able to patch things up? Am I the only woman not getting her makeup airbrushed on each morning?

Making the Band: Is Aubrey Out?

Did you see that coming?

Diddy sat down with the ladies of Danity Kane to discuss the future of the band. I didn't notice the tension within the group, but I did notice that Aubrey was hanging out more with D-Woods than Aundrea, who was once her BFF.

Anyway, after the girls talked about rumors, mistrust and insecurities, Diddy told them that he was ready to kick Aubrey out of the group. He said, "There will be a Danity Kane," but will it include Aubrey? That is the question.

Aubrey does seem to be marching to her own beat a lot of the times. Like when the ladies went horseback riding, she was the only one trying to be fabulous (and failing, in my opinion).

What do you think? Is Aubrey extra? Will she be let go? Will any other girls roll out with her? If she goes, should the group still be called Danity Kane? Will Diddy make her a solo artist?

I Want to Work For Diddy: Susie and Mike Win!

As the episode previews suggested, Poprah was eliminated from the show! I actually thought she might win, but maybe that saying about karma is true. The same attitude that irked her teammates, rubbed Diddy the wrong way, and he sent her packing. Funny.

Any chick that brings a jack-in-the-box to an executive meeting is not ready to work for Diddy. I think everyone realized Stephanie wasn't going to become Diddy's assistant. She was too laid back, and the fact that she tried to latch on to Boris a few weeks ago, was a red flag indeed.

The real competition was between Susie and Mike. So, Diddy's first choice was Susie. He said she was a combo of executive class and hustle. Diddy could see Mike's potential, but said he needed a bit more polishing.

In the end, Diddy chose both candidates. I wasn't a huge fan of either, but together they might get the job done.
