The house guests had to hang a ride on a fishing hook and hang on for dear life when they were dunked under water and banged against a wall. Big Brother made us wait till tonight for the 90-minute live finale to see how the rest plays out.  If you missed the episode you can read our full and detailed recap here!<br /> On tonight’s show we get to see if Dan’s lying, scheming and manipulating pays off for him.  We also get to see that Danielle does not wake up and smell the coffee.  She really  has to be the dumbest player I have ever seen, she buys everything that Dan feeds her.<br /> <br /> It seems tonight Dan convinces Danielle that it would be a good idea to convince Ian that they are mad at each other. Then Dan may throw the last HoH competition and lets Ian make the decision to send Danielle packing.  Yep after all the chances Danielle had to be in the final two the ‘dumb-dumb’<br /> will probably go home with nada… So we believe it will be down to Ian and Dan in the final two -  who will win?  Well I think it is still a toss-up.  It depends on the jury and how they vote.  They are suppose to vote based on game play but… if personal feelings leak him then it is anyone’s game.  Who do you think will win?  Hit the comments and let us know your thoughts!<br /> Big Brother airs tonight at 9:30pm with the finale, we will be live blogging the show with all the up-to-the-minute details so make sure to come back to Celeb Dirty Laundry and watch the show with us. Can’t wait to see how all the drama plays out, how about you?<br /> <br /> Tonight’s episode: After a summer of outrageous behaviour tonight is the finale and we finally see who is going to walk away with the cash prize. When we left off last time, it was part 1 of the final HoH competition. Just before Shane was evicted, Dan made a final two deal with Ian that he is going to drop from the first round, but he also made a final two deal with Danielle. After 17 minutes, Ian drops. Dan asks for some time alone with Danielle, Ian leaves the back yard. Dan convinces Danielle that she should drop and he actually makes her idea. Dan wins round 1.<br /> <br /> It’s time for round 2, the Danielle and Ian have to climb a sky scraper, clean windows to reveal pictures of evicted house guests and put them in order of who left first. The winner will battle it out with Dan in round 3. Danielle’s time is 7 minutes 31 seconds, Ian’s time is 6 minutes 4 seconds, Ian wins round 2 and one step closer to controlling his own destiny, unless of course that Dan has control of it!<br /> <br /> Dan congratulates Ian in front of Danielle and she is upset about it. Danielle tells Ian that if he takes Dan to the final two she will taint the jury against him. Ian is also upset and doesn’t like to be threatened. The fight that Dan masterminded worked, now he only has to convince Ian that he should throw the first round and that way Dan will not take Danielle and she will be mad at him and not Ian.<br /> <br /> In the jury house, they are waiting to see the next person that was evicted. Shane walks in and tells everyone that Dan convinced Danielle to use the PoV on him and Shane was backdoored. Everyone is shocked and Shane goes on to say that he thinks he was played by Danielle. Joe thinks Ian has played the best game and made tough decisions, Britney agrees. Shane doesn’t want to vote for Ian because he stabbed Boogie in the back. Jenn calls Ian a rat, the snitching thing makes her sick. Everyone seems to be against Danielle and they don’t think she deserves the money because she didn’t play her own game. Everyone thinks Dan has played an amazing game, he ran the house despite what he did to everyone personally, it is a game. Britney wants to know why Dan’s lives are any worse than anyone else’s. Jenn feels very strongly that Dan has played the best game.<br /> <br /> It’s time for the final and third round of the HoH competition. It’s a question/answer challenge where Julie will ask the questions and the house guests have to answer A or B. Ian is the final HoH and gets to decide who he wants to sit beside in front of the jury. Ian has a big decision tonight, will he pick Dan or Danielle to sit beside him. Ian votes to evict Danielle, honoring his final two deal with Dan.<br /> <br /> Here comes the jury, Ashley, Britney, Frank, Joe, Jenn, Shane and Danielle. Before the jury decides who they want to win, they have questions for Dan and Ian. Ashley wants to know if Ian made his own decision, he says that he did and Dan totally disagrees. Frank tells Dan that lying and backstabbing is ok, but is swearing on the bible and his wife pushing it a little far. Dan says it got him this far and he has no regrets. Jenn tells Ian that she doesn’t like snitches and why should she give him the money. Ian claims he was just trying to get information and flow it the right way for his game. Joe asks Dan what blood is on his hands. Dan tells him everybody’s, he lied to everyone, hosted his own funeral and it was ridiculous how much he blood he got on him but it’s because the house guests played so well. Britney wants to know why Ian should win. He tells her that he played a slightly cleaner game. Shane asked Dan why he should win over Ian. Dan says because he wasn’t controlled like Ian. Danielle asks Ian if he knew that Dan had a final two deal with her. Ian tells her that Dan gave him his grandfather’s gold cross to swear that he was true to his alliance for final two with him.<br /> <br /> Ian has his final say, he tells the jury that he has a much better poker hand versus Dan. He’s played the game with probability, statistics and a little bit of heart.<br /> <br /> Dan has his final say, he basically says that all the house guests were amazing and smart, he had no choice but to do despicable things to win. He played this game 24/7, he had to do what he had to do to get where he is and apologizes if anyone was offended but this wasn’t personal.<br /> <br /> It’s time for the jury to cast their votes and Dan kisses butt right to the end, you just have to love this guy.<br /> <br /> The other house guests have also returned on the panel; Janelle says that she loved Dan’s game play and he should win. Frank disagrees, he doesn’t respect Dan’s game. Boogie thinks Dan played an amazing game but he has a lot of respect for the game that Ian played.<br /> <br /> Shane asks Danielle if she knew that he was going to be evicted, she says no and Dan collaborates it. Shane asks Dan why he did it. Dan says that he leaves his morals at the door.<br /> <br /> It’s time to announce the winner, Danielle voted for Dan, Shan voted for Ian, Jenn voted for Ian, Joe voted for Ian, Frank voted for Ian. The winner of Big Brother 14 is Ian.<br /> <br /> The winner of favorite player and winning $25,000.00 is Frank.<br /> <br /> That’s it for Big Brother 14, can’t wait till next year when we start this all over again for Big Brother 15.<br /> <br /> The end!

It was a talented night, with a few hits and misses by the judges. The stand-outs came in the form Diamond White and Panda Ross. Read below for a full review of the performances.<br /> <br /> The first contestant of the night was the 18-year -old blonde haired rapper from Kansas City, Rizzloe Jones. During his on-stage interview with the judges, he had a confidently quirky appeal and said that he has had the X-Factor since he learned the ABC and the letter X. In true judging-a-book-by-cover fashion, Rizzloe revealed to the unsuspecting audience and judging panel that he was going to do a self-written freestyle rap. This is never a good choice, unless you’re Chris Rene or Astro. However, Rizzloe delivered an explosive rap-infused boom, and not only had the audience on their feet, but had the judges also bobbing their heads like those toy dogs in the back window of cars that were popular in the late 90’s. His performance was electrifying, fast paced and refreshing. The judging panel gave Rizzloe 4 out of 4. We were just as surprised, so we’re giving our boy Rizzloe from Kansas City a thrilling 4 out of 4 for one of the hottest rap performances on the show thus far.<br /> <br /> The much hyped CeCe Frey was the next contestant to try to win over the judging panel and the interim Louis Walsh from UK X-Factor. This face-painted Kansas City gal did a rendition of one of the greatest songs ever written, “Unchained Melody” by Righteous Brothers. Do any of these contestants know the intricate technicality which is required to pull off a song like Unchained Melody? One has to have a strong upper register to properly sing the controlled falsettos which made this song so iconic back in the day. One also has to have a massive range to dip into the lower crescendos and pull the song from the depths of emotion. CeCe’s rendition of this popular song was karaoke and below average at best.<br /> <br /> Her “untrained” voice was not able to deliver on-pitch vocals and handle the strong notes at the opening verse of the song. Not only that, but CeCe’s leopard printed face and hot looks did not mingle with the nostalgia of Unchained Melody – it came across as a contrived and drunken line dancer. Demi Lovato stopped her halfway through her performance and told her about this “confusing” get-up. CeCe switched over to “Ain’t No Other Man” by Christina Aguilera – a song which requires just as strong vocals and controlled runs. CeCe’s opening runs left us hanging when she dipped into the lower register of Christina’s song, but sparks of brilliance came when CeCe whipped her hair and bounced across the stage like an alcoholic stripper. We don’t think CeCe’s voice had the control, the strength and the tone to pull off the gravelly quirks which made this song a Christina anthem. Louis Walsh and Britney Spears called her talented. Did we watch the same show? Ambition can only take you that far. The judging panel gave CeCe 4 out of 4. We are giving her 1 out of 4 for the average vocals and karaoke performance.<br /> <br /> The 39-year-old tattoo faced Vino Alan’s rendition of “Trouble” was bluesy, gritty and held a controlled vibrato throughout. His performance was poignant and his vocals captivated the judges. We doubt this type of performance would kick Vino into the final four, but it was more than good enough to have made him go through to the next stage. The judges gave him 4 out of 4 and we agree, 4 out of 4!<br /> <br /> The highest praise of the night went to Tate Stevens, a 37-year-old sincere and funny country dude who did a rendition of “Anything Goes” by Randy Howser. His vocals had an extremely beautiful tone to them and his performance stayed true to its country roots. Tate’s honest storytelling gave us the goosies<br /> . L.A. Reid told Tate that he was the best they had seen so far and the judges gave him 4 out of 4. We agree L.A., country music dislike or not, Tate was so amazing, so 4 out of 4 from CDL!<br /> Citizen, the first “boy band” act since Emblem 3, took to the stage with their rendition of “Don’t Let Go” by En Vogue. This looks-obsessed 5 piece boy group came across as synchronized in their performance, especially their clichéd finger clicking opening scene. Their opening runs were reminiscent of a defunct boy band from the early 90’s, when each member turned around and “Yeeeaaah’ed” in a close-eyed wannabe N’Sync manner. Oh God, then the popping and the hopping commenced… Were these 5 dudes “serious” about this audition? Their vocals were off-pitch and their hand movements resembled a parody of a boy band on Saturday Night Live. Britney and Demi died inside from excitement, while Simon Cowell died inside from boredom. The judging panel gave Citizen 3 out of 4<br /> , with the exception of Simon who absolutely hated the performance. We’re giving Citizen 0 out of 4 (Our lowest score yet).<br /> The aptly named Diamond White, a 13-year-old struggling teenager, was the next contestant to try out for the biggest record deal on the planet. Diamond did a rendition of “It’s A Man’s World” by James Brown and boy, did she blow the roof off the X-Factor arena… For the first time in quite a few seasons of Idol and X-Factor, we were actually irritated with Simon’s bitch face when Diamond giggled. Dude, she’s a freaking kid, stop being a fart face! Diamond delivered one of the most infectious and soulful performances of the night. Diamond did not just<br /> sing, but channeled the spirit of Etta James and Betty Jean Newsome – two of the greatest performers of all time. The iconic song, which was labeled as “biblically chauvinistic” by Rolling Stone Magazine in 1966, reverberated with a naivety and sincerity when Diamond hit the big notes. There was a mature gospel touch to the song, which made this one of our favourite performances to date. The judges gave her 4 out of 4. We’re giving her 10 out of 10! Diamond, that was exquisite!<br /> The most memorable performance of the night came in the form of Panda Ross, a 40-year-old woman with an infectious attitude and stellar vocals. She did a rendition of “Bring It On Home To Me” by Sam Cooke. Her performance was strong, over-the-top and OMG. Breaking the fourth wall here, but the people reading this might not know that Sam Cooke is my favourite male musician of the 60’s. Panda Ross, you beauty! The judging panel gave her 4 out of 4. We’re giving her a standing O and a 4 out of 4!<br /> <br /> The last memorable contestant of the night was the beautiful Jessica Espinoza who did a rendition of “Nobody Knows” by Pink. Her vocal tone was intensely emotional and very Kelly Clarkson (they look alike). Jessica hit the chorus with a deep and dimly lit tone which merely accentuated and articulated her performance. The judging panel gave her 4 out of 4. We did too.<br /> <br /> photo credit: FOX X-Factor

Who Won So You Think You Can Dance? Season 9 Finale Recap 9/18/12

<P><img alt="Who Won So You Think You Can Dance? Season 9 Finale Recap 9/18/12" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63784" height="264" src="/SoYouThinkYouCanDanceSeason9Finale.jpg" title="Who Won So You Think You Can Dance? Season 9 Finale Recap 9/18/12" width="470"></P><br /><P>Are you guys ready because here we go! After a summer-long competition tonight we will finally learn two very important things, just who is America’s favorite guy and girl dancers!  Eliana Girard, Tiffany Maher, Cyrus Spencer and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp are the final four standing and each has had a spectacular run in very unique ways.  Did you see last weeks episode?  We did and we recapped it here for you!</P><br /><P>Eliana has been touted as possibly the best dancer EVER on the show (or at least that’s Nigel’s opinion) and about halfway through the performance shows she really did seem to become pretty invincible. The girl can do most anything and she makes it look easy.</P><br /><P>Tiffany is the pint sized girl-next-door that you want to root for. She attacks every performance and gives far more than her jazz roots should allow her to. She has never sat in the bottom three which means the audience likes her. I mean, they really like her.</P><br /><P>Chehon seems to have hit his stride very late in the competition. Even I didn’t fully appreciate him until very recently. All of a sudden I realized he is indeed my favorite. The strongest partner with jump and leaps that are so smooth it’s incredible. I love watching him in the air as much as I do on the floor.</P><br /><P>Cyrus is just plain crazy. He has brought a new style to the show called animating and he is beyond incredible at what he does. Perhaps more incredible is his ability to hold his own in every other genre of dance despite NO formal training at all! Cyrus also has never sat in the bottom three.</P><br /><P>Also tonight we’ll be treated to the rest of the contestants and all stars returning to perform favorite routines from season nine.</P><br /><P>Who will win is truly anybody’s guess so tune in to Fox tonight at 8 to see the action unfold for yourself! While you wait for our recap hit the comments and let us know what you thing of SYTYCD Season 9, so far!</P><br /><P>Tonight’s recap: This is it, the finale of season nine. The top 20 dancers all have returned to grace the stage together and it’s sure to be a great show. Tonight we have six judges front and center- Lil C, Adam Shankman, Debi Allen. Tyce DiOrio, Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe.  They won’t exercise any control over the results but they do get to comment on what unfolds onstage.</P><br /><P>We’re starting with a group number choreographed by Sonya Tayeh and Christopher Scott that is just phenom. Set to Torn </EM>by Nathan Lautier, I’m honestly not sure exactly what the hell I was watching but I NEED to YouTube it, like, now. It was like a mix of hip hop and contemporary with the girls almost in Paso dresses. I know I missed a ton because there was so much happening here at once but it looked so cool.</P><br /><P>The first couple of the night is a retread of a Travis Wall piece. It’s Audrey and Matthew’s “Titanic’ piece that earned critical acclaim the very first night of the competition.  Lil C gets to choose a routine that he wants to see again next and so of course he wants to see Witney and Twitch do their East Coast hip hop piece to Lil Wayne. Witney’s moves have gotten dirtier and her hairography is bigger than before.</P><br /><P>Debi Allen gets a chance to pick the dance that moved her the most this season and she chooses Tiffany and George to do Turn the Page</EM>, a piece put together by Sonya Tayeh. It’s much better danced and far more memorable the second time around.</P><br /><P>Adam Shankman will always be my favorite judge and he wants to see Cole and Lindsay’s Paso because Lindsay is fab and Cole is SYTYCD’s first super hero. This dance can’t possibly ever get old. The judges call it the best Paso ever on the show and it truly is. This dance alone could get Lindsay a spot over on Dancing With The Stars.</P><br /><P>Tyce DiOrio had to choose a piece by Amelia and Will, their NappyTabs number to Love Cats</EM>, to be exact. It’s fun and kicky, kinda like Tyce. I’ll always love Amelia and Will together. Not my favorite by them, but so happy to see them together again.</P><br /><P>Mary Murphy gets to pick her piece next and she chooses the brilliance of the man next to her- Tyce DiOrio. Chehon and Kathryn step onto the stage to perform Eli, Eli</EM> which is a holocaust tribute number. I love Chehon and I think this was the piece that made me realize it. I want to see him win this.</P><br /><P>The four finalists get to choose a routine that they really want to dance to again. Eliana  (of course) chooses the Bang Bang</EM> number with Alex Wong. She rightfully felt that this was a turning point for her, finally being paired with another ballet dancer enabled her to prove what she could actually do.</P><br /><P> Cat Deeley even gets to pick her favorite dance of the season so she takes the party route and wanted to see the 11 lifts packed into the disco routine by Tiffany and Brandon.</P><br /><P>Chehon gets to choose his favorite routine of the season and he believes his Tango with Anya was a breakthrough performance for him emotionally.  It’s quiet and subtle but really shows his ability to connect with his partner.</P><br /><P>We got extra lucky tonight because instead of just cranking out an old hip hop routine, Christopher Scott choreographed a brand new one for Cyrus, Comfort and Twitch. He also threw himself into the mix! It’s an animator’s dream. Basically Cyrus cheated at an old style card game and tried to leave with a card in his pocket. Christopher eventually picks the card out when he’s not looking. I really hope Christopher is back next year.</P><br /><P>Tiffany chooses a contemporary piece to the Power of Love</EM>, danced with Adee as her defining moment in the show.</P><br /><P>Back during the audition phase there was an animating crew called Dragon House that we all just loved. They play off each other and the result is way cool. In the season of animating its not a surprise to see SYTYCD bring these guys to the finale stage. Clad in suitcoats, crisp shirts and skinny jeans their tics and moves really pop beneath the dark lights. I want to see more of them!</P><br /><P>You knew Cyrus would Twitch his dance with Twitch as his personal favorite right? Me too. It’s (as Nigel says) a season stealing routine.</P><br /><P>NappyTabs manage to construct a brand new group number that properly shuts down this show with a bang. It’s a Lion King Remix in full costume, featuring the top 20 and all of the all-stars as well. Really cool and there is a bit of every genre thrown in there.</P><br /><P>Here we go. Both Eliana and Tiffany are called to the stage and we see a video of them throughout the season. Cat braces them and announces that Eliana has won the girls crown.  I preferred Tiffany but really, Eliana is completely worthy.</P><br /><P>Time for the Cyrus and Chehon package. They both want and deserve to win but who will it be? Cat tells them based on last week’s votes, America’s favorite male dancer is Chehon. That result thrills me! Love him!</P>

Survivor Philippines Season 25 Premiere Precap: Get Ready for Some Island Drama!

<P><STRONG><img alt="Survivor Philippines Season 25 Premiere Precap: Get Ready for Some Island Drama!" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63806" height="300" src="/survivor4.jpg" title="Survivor Philippines Season 25 Premiere Precap: Get Ready for Some Island Drama!" width="450"></STRONG></P><br /><P><STRONG>Survivor Philippines</STRONG> starts tonight, and we’re definitely ready for some crazy, insane, out-of-this-world island drama! On this season, which just so happens to be the Emmy-Award winning show’s 25th installment, contestants will be pitted against one another to see who’s the strongest and who — as the show’s apt motto suggests — will be able to outwit, outplay, and, perhaps most importantly, outlast their fellow competition. This season will welcome fifteen castaways, as well as reintroduce three returning contestant — all of whom were forced to withdraw from the competition on account of medical issues. So, will those individuals fare better luck this go around? We’ll see.</P><br /><P>For the first time in a long while, the show will divide the 18 contestants up into three distinct groups, each of which bears the name of an animal distinct to the region: Kalabaw (“Water Buffalo”), Tandang (“Rooster”) and Matsing (“Monkey”). It is expected that this season will bring marine-based challenges to the forefront and, as always, demand the utmost physical endurance and stamina from each contestant. Survivor ain’t no easy game, folks!</P><br /><P>As always, there’s bound to be drama and personalities will definitely clash. Don’t they always? We’re interested to see how this three team situation will work out and how, if any, special merges and alliances occur that will, ultimately, influence the play of the game. So who will win this season of Survivor? Of course we don’t know that yet, but our bets are on the 41-year-old sex therapist from the Matsing tribe. Why, you ask? Well, because wouldn’t it just be awesome if a sex therapist one?</P><br /><P>As reported by Entertainment Weekly, the three returning players will be the following individuals: Michael Skupin, Jonathan Penner, and Russell Swan. Each one of those individuals will bring their past (and losing) experience to a team and try their hardest to prove that, if they’d been allowed to continue in the competition, they would’ve been a force to be reckoned with. We’re quite excited to see what dynamic this subtle element adds to the playing field. They have a taste of what Survivor is like, and no doubt they’re coming back to the game with sharpened claws and hungry bellies, ready to outlast and outplay everyone.</P><br /><P>Here’s a list of the following competitors as well as what team they’re on (for now: we all know how volatile these alliances, allegiances, and team factions can be on this show full of island awesomeness and jungle-jungle epicness):</P><br /><P><STRONG>Tandang tribe</STRONG></P><br /><P><STRONG>Abi-Maria Gomes</STRONG><BR>Business Student<BR>Los Angeles, Calif.<BR>Age: 32</P><br /><P><STRONG>Roberta “R.C.” Saint-Armour</STRONG><BR>Investment Banker<BR>New York, N.Y.<BR>Age: 27</P><br /><P><STRONG>Artis Silvester</STRONG><BR>Computer Engineer<BR>Terry Town, La.<BR>Age: 53</P><br /><P><STRONG>Lisa Whelchel</STRONG><BR>Former “Facts of Life” Actress<BR>Dallas, Tex.<BR>Age: 49</P><br /><P><STRONG>Pete Yurkowski</STRONG><BR>Engineering Graduate<BR>Holmdel, N.J.<BR>Age: 24</P><br /><P><STRONG>Kalabaw tribe</STRONG></P><br /><P><STRONG>Sarah Dawson</STRONG><BR>Insurance Sales<BR>Silver Spring, Md.<BR>Age: 28</P><br /><P><STRONG>Katie Hanson</STRONG><BR>Former Miss Delaware<BR>Newark, Del.<BR>Age: 22</P><br /><P><STRONG>Jeff Kent</STRONG><BR>Former baseball MVP<BR>Austin, Tex.<BR>Age: 44</P><br /><P><STRONG>Dana Lambert</STRONG><BR>Cosmetologist<BR>Winston-Salem, N.C.<BR>Age: 32</P><br /><P><STRONG>Carter Williams</STRONG><BR>Track Coach<BR>Shawnee, Kan.<BR>Age: 24</P><br /><P><STRONG>Matsing tribe</STRONG></P><br /><P><STRONG>Malcolm Freberg</STRONG><BR>Bartender<BR>Hermosa Beach, Calif.<BR>Age: 25</P><br /><P><STRONG>Zane Knight</STRONG><BR>Tire Repair<BR>Danville, Va.<BR>Age: 28</P><br /><P><STRONG>Angie Layton</STRONG><BR>Student<BR>Provo, Utah<BR>Age: 20</P><br /><P><STRONG>Roxanne “Roxy” Morris</STRONG><BR>Seminary Student<BR>Brooklyn, N.Y.<BR>Age: 28</P><br /><P><STRONG>Denise Stapley</STRONG><BR>Sex Therapist<BR>Cedar Rapids, Iowa<BR>Age: 41</P><br /><P>Survivor Philippines</EM> season 25 airs tonight, Wednesday, September 19 @ 8/7c on CBS for a special 90-minute edition.

The X-Factor USA: Season 2, Episode 3 Precap – ‘Bizarre, Suspect and Awful’

<P><img alt="The X-Factor USA: Season 2, Episode 3 Precap - 'Bizarre, Suspect and Awful'" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63818" height="265" src="/The-X-Factor-USA-Season-2-Episode-3-Precap.jpg" title="The X-Factor USA: Season 2, Episode 3 Precap - 'Bizarre, Suspect and Awful'" width="470"></P><br /><P>Last week, The X-Factor USA’s two day premiere brought us the flavor of the season (Jillian Jensen), the “boy band” of the year (Emblem 3), the Justin Bieber lookalike (Reed Deming) and the effervescent Quatrele, who did an above average Lady Gaga performance of “Born This Way”.</P><br /><P>During this week’s new episodes of the second season, the auditions will be moving to Greensboro, North Carolina and Kansas City, Missouri – which, according to the judges, will serve up some of the most “bizarre, suspect and awful</EM>” performance in the history of the US version of the show. Simon Cowell specifically chose Kansas City, because “if you’re not careful, you can forget about everyone in the middle</EM>”. Simon also referred to Kansas City as the heart of America and this city was his first choice during the pre-production stages of the new season. Britney Spears also added her own opinion to the mix regarding the value of auditions during this round and said, “I felt like we had a little bit of some bizarre performances overall. There have been some good ones, but for the most part, there’s been some pretty bad.</EM>” Uh-oh, are we in for another Shawn Armenta? Perhaps we’ll witness something more terrifying than a gnome at a yard sale?</P><br /><P>Simon will not be seen on television during the Kansas City audition rounds due to him having been sick during this round. Instead, the acerbic and animated Louis Walsh from the UK season of The X-Factor will be replacing Simon on the panel. We have seen Walsh judge on previous X-Factor UK seasons and it truly is a sight to behold, but it might be a bit difficult for American audiences to understand his accent, so turn up the volume to fully comprehend Walsh’s infamous quips.</P><br /><P>We’re expecting a deluge of terrible singers and out of control hysterics. During the season premiere preview of the season we saw someone who ended up in an ambulance and another one who screamed and punched at the camera. Could this have been the footage from Kansas City? Are we in for a rough ride y’all? Only tonight’s episode will tell, so stay tuned for our live recap right here on Celeb Dirty Laundry and our full performance review tomorrow morning.</P>

The Voice’s fourth and fifth blind audition rounds premiered on Monday and Tuesday night, and as per usual, we decided to bring you an unbiased look at the auditions, the vocals and the self-indulgence. These were, by far, the worst audition rounds of the season. No-one, except Avery Wilson, made our eyes twinkle with excitement. Read below our review and let us know in the comments if you agree/disagree. Let’s get to it, shall we?<br /> <br /> Melanie Martinez was the first contestant of the night. The soft-voiced singer donned an Andrews Sisters/70’s frock and did a singer/songwriter cover of “Toxic” by Britney Spears. Her voice was wispy, breathy and subtle, with a strong upper register falsetto during the chorus. Her absent pop vibe left the field wide open for an indie and airy performance. She delivered above average vocals, but won the race in sheer quirky appeal. Three of the judges, with the exception of Christina Aguilera, turned around. Melanie chose Adam Levine in the end, as she wanted someone to assist her in expressing her creativity.<br /> <br /> The Texan singer Brian Scartocci did a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” and even though the performance started off well, we were left hanging with an affected Adam Levine-esque voice and a nasal cover of Stevie Wonder’s seminal hit. The vibrato became labored during the opening and Brian’s closing notes were complimented with a microphone twirl and a half-baked karaoke split near the end. All three judges, with the exception of Christina Aguilera (she’s up to something…) turned around. If we were sitting in those spinning chairs we wouldn’t have pressed that button even if you held a gun against our heads. Brian chose Adam Levine.<br /> <br /> Beat Frequency, a duo of husband and wife, performed a cover of Katy Perry’s auto-tuned “E.T.” Their vocals lacked all forms of artistry, appeal, intelligence and pitch. They were reminiscent of a Russian cover band performing Katy Perry songs at a karaoke bar in Hell. Christina was the only judge who turned around, but her face scrunched up near the chorus with an obvious “FML”. We really do not have high hopes for this duo. Guess who they chose?<br /> <br /> Liz Davis, a strong contender to become the country vocalist of this season, was up next with her rendition of “Here For The Party” by country superstar Gretchen Wilson. Liz’s vocals were catchy, lively and effervescent near the beginning of the song, but they quickly filtered out to become the remnant echo of a karaoke bar in Nashville. Yes, her vocals were unusually strong, but somewhere near the fifth phrase of “I am herrreee for the patheee” did her control falter and she was left behind in bad cover hell. And then, something weird happened. Liz’s hair brushing sexuality after the spoken verse came across as contrived and awkward. She ended her animated performance with a long and off-pitch note, to which Blake Shelton swung his chair around and smiled. Liz chose Blake in the end.<br /> <br /> JR Aquino, an Anchorage, Alaska native, was the next performer with his rendition of “Just The Way You Are” by Bruno Mars. His happy face and wavering vocals were upstaged (once again) by Christina and Adam’s theatrics on the red buttons. His vibrato snuggled up well with the chorus of Bruno Mars’ above average pop ballad and delivered on his visual promises. Once again, the out-of-tune vocals and karaoke-boy-band-hand-swinging were met with praise by the in-studio audience. Three of the judges, with the exception of Blake, turned around. JR chose Cee Lo Green as his mentor of choice.<br /> <br /> Nicholas David, an inspirational musician who went through some tough times in his life, did a self-indulgent rendition of “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King. We’re not sure if we’re losing our minds or becoming deaf from watching too many Kardashian episodes, but what the freak went wrong during Monday’s auditions? Nicholas’ cover of this classic song became riddled with a porn soundtrack arrangement, nasal vocals and a weirdly wispy vibrato at the close of every phrase. Hey, the dude looks like someone we’d hang with when the time is right, but seriously? Cee Lo turned around and Nicholas chose him in the end. Whatever.<br /> <br /> The 17-year-old and familiar looking Alessandra Guercio was the next contestant with her cover of “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus. Wasn’t this the same Alessandra Guercio from American Idol? Didn’t she perform in Pia Toscana’s group during Hollywood round? Look, we’re not trying to fool around here, but this Miley Cyrus song is one of the most difficult pop songs of the past few years – not many people are able to pull it off. The song literally “climbs” to a stratospheric height of power vocals. Alessandra’s performance wasn’t the worst we’ve seen (Beat Frequency takes that spot), but she was slightly too inexperienced to make us relate to the lyrics and vocals. The moment Alessandra neared the upper chorus; she delivered an above average vocal, but was it good enough? There’s a reason she didn’t make it on American Idol. Cee Lo and Adam turned around, but Alessandra chose Adam in the end.<br /> American Idol VIDEO of Alessandra) <br /> Avery Wilson, touted as a 16-year-old phenomenon, was the next contestant to take the stage. He performed a cover of “Without You” by David Guetta feat. Usher. Thank all the gods of music that we saw Avery perform! This is what performing is about – strong, controlled vocals and a kick-butt performance to boot. This was, by far, one of the best performances of the season. Avery out-performed every other contestant of the night. He was reminiscent of a young Usher mixed with the Glee kids. For the first time ever, The Voice became larger than life and reeked of post-Hollywood round American Idol. His deep-voiced vibrato beautifully accentuated each and every note, which made his audition pure, clean and dominant. If Avery doesn’t make it to the finals and/or win, there’ll be hell to play. Good on ya’ boy! All four judges turned around and Avery chose Cee Lo in the end.<br /> <br /> – Avery’s Performance)<br /> <br /> The second night of Blind Auditions swung around with several memorable performances. The first contestant of the new night was Collin Mcloughlin, an NYU student who dropped out to pursue his dreams. He did a cover of “Wild World” by Cat Stevens. Collin’s voice was average, mellow and chilled. Collin wasn’t over-the-top, nor was he ever completely in control of his performance. It was a very pub-singing-look-at-me-babe type of performance. All three judges, with the exception of Christina, turned around. Collin chose Adam in the end.<br /> <br /> The next successful audition of the night came in the form of Joselyn Rivera (we doubt she has any relation to Naya Rivera “Santana” from Glee). This exceptionally beautiful contestant did a cover of Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” and we don’t know what the hype was all about. Look, Kelly Clarkson is one of the best vocalists in the world, so it’s a tough feat to pull of any Kelly Clarkson song, especially “Stronger”. Joselyn’s opening notes wallowed in the Twilight Zone of karaoke and wannabe. Do not get us started on the chorus part of the song… Joselyn just wasn’t up to par, even though Christina and Blake turned around. Joselyn chose Christina in the end. We doubt Christina would be of any assistance in the near future – Joselyn is just not good enough.<br /> <br /> Benji was the next contestant to take the stage with his rendition of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan. Benji was a stand-out vocalist with the first raspy and subtle note. His gravelly voice had a tinge of Adam Levine near the upper registers and sounded like a warm glass of milk before bed. Several of his notes were closed down with a flexible vibrato near the end, which gave the heavy-handed song a light kindness to it. The moment Benji neared the middle of the song; he broke loose and delivered an Aerosmith-esque scream, which drew praise and excitement from the judges and the audience. Benji chose Adam in the end, after Adam and Cee Lo turned around.<br /> <br /> The last contestant of the night was Mycle Wastman, a Seattle based musician who did a rendition of “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green. The cap wearing, blue eyed singer’s voice was smooth and soulful and held a tinge of nostalgia in the lower register, but Mycle’s song choice was the main irk in the end. Instead of coming across as fresh and unique, he came across as lounge-y and off-Broadway. His vocals were good enough to carry him through the entire performance, but we suspect Mycle’s only chance of survival would be his looks and younger female demographic. All three judges, with the exception of Christina, turned around. Mycle chose Cee Lo as his mentor.<br /> <br /> Mycle Wastman’s Performance) <br /> <br /> Here’s a recap for the disagreeing folk out there on who chose which mentor:<br /> <br /> Melanie Martinez paired with Adam Levine, Brian Scartocci paired with Adam Levine, Beat Frequency paired with Christina Aguilera, Liz Davis paired with Blake Shelton, JR Aquino paired with Cee Lo Green, Nicholas David paired with Cee Lo Green, Alessandra Guercio paired with Adam Levine, Avery Wilson paired with Cee Lo Green, Collin Mcloughlin paired Adam Levine, Joselyn Rivera paired with Christina Aguilera, Benji paired with Adam Levine, Mycle Wastman paired with Cee Lo Green.

While you wait for our recap hit the comments and let us know what you thing of SYTYCD Season 9, so far!<br /> <br /> <b>Tonight’s Recap</b>: It’s the beginning of a brand new season of SYTYCD and the top 20 opened the show together for the very first time. Architect of the Mind was the opening piece which featured all the dancers behind office desks wearing office attire. The techno symphony piece was done almost completely in unison. Choreographed by Christopher Scott, it showed off the individual talents and strengths of each dancer. The very first judging panel of season nine includes Mary Murphy, Kenny Ortega and of course, Nigel Lythgoe. Speaking of Nigel, he explains that next week 2 boys and two girls will already be leaving the show so tonight right out of the gate, it’s do or die.<br /> <br /> <b>Chehon</b> and <b>Witney</b> are up first tonight. They are taking on a latin routine done by Louis Van Amstel. Since Witney is a ballroom dancer I’m guessing this will be awesome. She is a firecracker so she kind of steals the show in their number set to Jump. Chenon is a ballet dancer so he’s out of his element but what he is, is sharp. His precise moves are what stop him from fading out beside Witney.<br /> <br /> <b>Tiffany Maher </b>and <b>George Lawrence 2 </b>are lucky enough to be in the hands of <b>Sonja Tayhed </b>this week.  Turning Page is about star-crossed lovers sand Sonja insisted that they just surrender to the choreography and surrender they did.  They were living each second of anxious desperation and they were able to connect with everyone watching.  We’ve all felt exactly what they danced.<br /> <br /> <b>Brandon Mitchell</b> and <b>Janaya French</b> get to show what they can do when pushed by hip-hop choreographers (very pregnant) <b>Tabitha</b> and <b>Napoleon.  </b>Take Care is the story of a struggling couple.  Brandon plays an alcoholic that keeps choosing his bottle over the love of his love.  The frustration and struggle was really built into the isolations and choreography.  NappyTabs smooth style of hip hop just never gets old.<br /> <br /> <b>Alexa Anderson</b> and <b>Daniel Baker</b> are performing a sexy jazz piece by <b>Sean Cheesman</b>.  Hey Hey is pretty cool and super fast.  The routine is really intricate and if that isn’t enough, about half of the number was done with Alexa and Daniel climbing on a piece of scaffolding.  Neither of them is my favorite yet, but this is one to rewatch on YouTube because one view isn’t enough.<br /> <br /> <b>Amber Jackso</b>n and <b>Nick Bloxom Carter </b>are doing a <b>Jason Glickson</b> waltz the first week in this competition.  Usually this dance is the klunker of the night but this was just magical.  Set to Nights in White Satin the duo just floated and the choreography was so fluid that they were stunning.<br /> <br /> <b>Amelia Lowe</b> and <b>Will Thomas</b> get to dance a jazz hip hop piece done by Tabitha and Napoleon.  The Love Cats really brings out the sharp, quirky playful relationship that these two have already formed.  One of the best dances of the evening by far.<br /> <br /> <b>Janelle Issis</b> and <b>Dareian Kujawa </b>are doing a nearly impossible African Jazz piece by <b>Sean Cheesman</b>. Absolutely love this.  You breathe in the beginning and breathe at the end and just go all the way through.  It was like a jungle dance off and all the little details and hand positions were memorable. This is THE couple to watch I think.<br /> <br /> <b>Eliana Girard</b> and <b>Cyrus Spencer</b> are giving us our Broadway fix this week. <b>Tyce Diorio </b>puts them through the paces for the number from the musical Hairspray.  Cyrus is an animator and I think he’s better here than Eliana.  Her movements were great but the plastered smile was distracting.<br /> <br /> <b>Audrey Case </b>and<b> Matthew Kazmierczak </b>are so lucky to be in the hands of <b>Travis Wall</b> this week.  Yowza. Seriously, this is just perfect.  The theme is a couple on the Titianic and it uses a couch as a prop.  Audrey and Matthew found a maturity and sensual connection that is nearly impossible to conjure when you first meet someone.  She is fearless with her leaps off the couch onto Matthew.<br /> <br /> <b>Lindsay Arnold </b>and<b> Cole Horibe </b>get to do a Paso Doble by <b>Jason Gilkerson</b>.  The music tells the story, it’s called Unstoppable and they were.  I’m not usually a big paso fan but this was unreal. He is NOT a ballroom dancer but you’d never know it.  Lindsay is smokin’ hot and these two were brilliant.

On tonight’s show it is the Elimination night. Twelve acts hit the stage last night, but only four will move on. Did you watch last night’s show? We did and we recapped it here for you!<br /> <br /> On last night’s show it was Howie Mandel and Howard Stern feud night and Sharon Osbourne playing referee.  Contestant Big Barry the oldest competitor in the competition took the stage and Howard was totally pissed.  Howard was furious because he feels that Big Barry has no talent and a lot of good competitors were eliminated who should have gotten Big Barry’s spot.<br /> <br /> Here is what the judges had to say about his performance – Howie – He comments if Bob Dylan and Easter Bunny had a baby….  He tells him he is not a good singer, but he is an amazing person and an incredible novelty act.  He feels he is memorable.  Howard – He tells him it is not about him – he tells Howie he has let a lot of people go but Big Barry should not have taken that place.  There were a ton of people who had a lot more people that had more talent than Big Barry.  He tells Howie he owes a lot of performers apologies.  He tells Big Barry he has no talent and it is offensive.  Sharon – She tells him he sings like he is on the toilet.   Howard continues to go on at Howie and demand an apology, which he does not get!!!<br /> <br /> I totally agree with Howard, Big Barry has no talent, he is a nice man, but he has no talent.  Actually several of the competitors last night were horrible.  It should not be difficult for America to decide who will leave.<br /> <br /> On the result show tonight <a href="">Gavin DeGraw will be doing a special performance of his new hit single “Sweeter.” Plus, they will have a high-energy performance by the urban circus Traces.  Plus after tonight’s eliminations four acts will move on.</a><br /> <a href=""><br /></a><br /> <a href="">Tonight’s episode looks like it is going to be exciting and you won’t want to miss it, so be sure to tune in for our live coverage of NBC’s America’s Got Talent at 9:00 PM EST! While you wait for our recap hit the comments and let us know what you thing of season 7 of AGT so far!</a><br /> <a href=""><br />Tonight’s recaps: First on stage tonight is TIMHOCKENBERRY and TURF are going head to head.  Sharon says between the two just cannot decided she loves them both. America has spoken and  BOTH OF THEM ARE MOVING ON!! They will both be heading to the semi-finals.<br /> <br />We are treated to some filler Howie and his pranking people yawn….<br /> </a><br /> <a href=""></a>Gavin DeGraw performed!<br /> <br /> More filler, what was happening last night after the show.<br /> <br /> Up Next BIG BARRY, THE AURORA LIGHT PAINTERS, THE LISA CLARKE DANCERS, THE ALL WAYS  – Howard believes that is was a tough night for all four of the acts.  Moving ahead to the SEMI-FINALS is NO ONE – THEY ARE ALL ELIMINATED!<br /> <br /> Up Next HAWLEY MAGIC, TOM COTTER, LION DANCE ME – MOVING AHEAD IS TOM COTTER!!!<br /> <br /> Last up DANIELLE STALLINGS, DONOVAN & REBECCA, BEN BLAQUE America has voted and the act leaving the competition and GOING HOME IS BEN BLAQUE.<br /> <br /> The judges now have to decide who gets to stay Danielle or Donovan & Rebecca.<br /> <br /> Howard decides it is not Danielle’s time, but it is Donovan & Rebecca’s time so he votes for DONOVAN & REBECCA<br /> <br /> Sharon loves Donovan & Rebecca but she feels Danielle has a lot of guts.  Sharon says she is lost – she cannot decides to put DANIELLE THROUGH!<br /> <br /> Howie is the decision maker – he says it is like comparing apples and oranges and this is the hardest decision he has ever made but he is choose DONOVAN & REBECCA.  GOING TO THE SEMI-FINALS DONOVAN & REBECCA!

While you wait for the recap, you can checkout a sneak peek video of tonight’s episode tonight below!<br /> <br /> <b>Tonight’s recap: </b>Amy realizes she nearly forgot her fathers birthday so she rushes off to see him.  She arrives just as he was celebrating with his new girlfriend.  Awkward moment as she pauses then leaves.<br /> <br /> Dev is back in uniform and back with the rest of the rookies after being suspended for awhile.  Andy goes to the scene of a domestic disturbance and finds a couple with two small children.  The father scolds his 11 year old son for calling the police. The boy named Connor goes inside and comes back outside and pulls a gun on everyone.  The police try to negotiate with him and a worker with children and youth shows up.  The worker is a woman named Clare that just so happens to be Andy’s long lost mother.  Things are icy between them at best.<br /> <br /> Eventually the police get the gun and the children are forced to be taken from the mother and placed with family members. Andy makes a crack about how hard it is for most mothers to be away from their children. A stash of guns were found hidden in the sons room.  Eventually the mother is released but her children were placed in her sisters custody.<br /> <br /> Andy and Clare have the inevitable conversation about how and why she walked away.  Or they try to until andy storms out.<br /> <br /> The police are bound and determined to figure out where these guns came from.  The guy claims he was simply holding them for someone.  It doesn’t take long to figure out that Jerry seized the guns five years ago and he signed off on a waiver saying the guns were destroyed.  In other words, his badge is on the line because it looks like he falsified paperwork and then sold the weapons to gang bangers. He remembers the night the guns were taken in another office person told him he could go and they would check the guns in and see that they were destroyed.<br /> <br /> A call comes in regarding the two children that were placed with family members.  They are missing after a visit from mom.  Her sister is beyond worried.  She explains that the kids parents have been caught in a cycle of drinking and fighting.. They find the car pretty quickly and Connor is hiding under the front seat.  He claims he drove it to the lake all by himself.<br /> <br /> Traci chats up the woman who Jerry says resold the guns.  She believes she is lying through her teeth.  Connor finally tells Clare where his mother is hiding with the baby.  He says she‘s at his grandmother‘s house. Connor is allowed to see his dad at the police station and dad apologizes for messing everything up.<br /> <br /> Andy decides to talk to Clare to get a little information.  Clare tells her she called every week to see if she could see her daughter and the answer was no. Andy‘s dad stood in the way of them having a relationship.  Clare asks if they can do dinner and Andy compromises and says she‘ll try coffee together..<br /> <br /> THE END!<br /> <br />

On tonight’s show the theme is “Favorite Standards” so we can expect a lot of singing and dancing. If you missed last week’s show, we have a full and detailed recap here for you.<br /> <br /> On last week’s show it was ”Songs from the 2000's” theme and surprisingly J Rome didn’t bring in as strong as a performance as everyone had hoped. He sang “Without You” by Usher and David Guetta with his Duet partner Jennifer Nettles (who by the way announced on the show last week that she is pregnant). The performance was weaker according to John, Robin loved Jennifer more than J Rome.<br /> <br /> In another surprise last week, Jason Farol sang “Mercy” with his Duet partner, Kelly Clarkson and all the judges loved the singing, but still felt that Jason needed to work on his stage presence.<br /> <br /> There were no final standings for last week because it was the first live show and superstars <b>Kelly Clarkson</b>, <b>John Legend</b>, <b>Jennifer Nettles</b> and <b>Robin Thicke</b> took the stage with their remaining Duet partners; J Rome, John Glosson, Bridget Carrington, Olivia Chisholm and Jordan Meredith  and Jason Farol to perform their favorite songs from the millennium. Last week was the first live episode and viewers got to finally vote. Tonight we will find out who America voted for and whomever receives the lowest number of votes will be eliminated.<br /> <br /> On tonight’s show,the superstars take the stage with their remaining Duet partners for an evening of standards from the Golden Age of music.  Last week America voted and those results will be announced eliminating one amateur so that only four remain in the competition. At the end of tonight’s show, the polls will open again and America will vote for the top three.<br /> <br /> Stay tuned for our live coverage of the show tonight for the awesome “Favorite Standards” theme at 8:00 PM EST! Meanwhile, while you wait, hit the comments and let us know what you think of Season 1 of “Duets” so far!<br /> <br /> RECAP: <b>Jennifer Nettles</b> and <b>Robin Thicke</b> open the show singing, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”. Tonight the show is live and they will be bringing us songs from the standards with some of the biggest songs in the day.<br /> <br /> Time to find out who is going home after America voted last week; Jason Farol is safe, <b>Olivia Chisholm</b> is in the bottom two, <b>J Rome</b> is safe, <b>John Glosson</b> is safe,  <b>Bridget Carrington</b> is in the bottom two. Olivia and Bridget received the lowest amount of votes, the amateur going home is <b>Olvia, she is eliminated. </b><br /> <br /> <b>John Legend</b><b> </b>and<b> </b><b>Bridget Carrington</b> perform “Unforgettable” by Nat King Cole.<br /> <br /> <b>Superstar Comments:</b> Kelly thought it was her favourite performance; it was so classic, beautiful and effortless. Robin loved it and wishes that John would remake it. Jennifer felt Bridget brought poise and class, overall so polished and beautiful.<br /> <br /> <b>Jennifer Nettles</b><b> </b>and<b> </b><b>J Rome</b> perform, “God Bless The Child” by Billie Holiday.<br /> <br /> <b>Superstar Comments:</b> Kelly stood up three times, she thinks J Rome is so talented. John thought J Rome murdered the song. Robin called the performance a Grammy winning performance.<br /> <br /> John Legend and Kelly Clarkson gives us a special performance of “You Don’t Know Me” by Ray Charles.<br /> <br /> <b>Jennifer Nettles</b> and <b>John Glosson </b>perform “Georgia On My Mind” by Ray Charles.<br /> <br /> <b>Superstar Comments:</b> Robin thought it was amazing, just great. Kelly had a hard time hearing it, but still loves his voice. John thought it was perfect, just the right amount of syrup.<br /> <br /> <b>Kelly Clarkson and Jason Farol</b> perform “Feeling Good” by Anthony Newley.<br /> <br /> <b>Superstar Comments: </b>John has been sceptical about Jason, but he feels that he has gotten so much better. Robin thinks Jason is adorable, but he missed a little bit of the soulfulness in that song. Jennifer thinks he has a lot of dedication and how much he has grown is inspiring.<br /> <br /> <b>The end!</b>

Everything he says is a lie and he “acts” for his video time.  They are beginning to show signs of exhaustion with darting eyes and bouts of euphoria.  One patient is trying to score a pizza date in the kitchen with <b>Lacey</b>, the resident hottie.  They sit down and he begins talking to his fork.  Charlie comes in and Lacey kisses him several times and is aggressively pushing for a hook up right there.  The quote of the episode comes from her, “I’m going to get a tattoo of you someplace special and if you grow a beard it’ll be perfect.”<br /> <br />  Charlie escapes by hauling her and everyone else into group.  Lacey continues hitting on Charlie in front of everyone.  She says she uses love to get sex because love is meaningless but sex lasts forever.   She realizes she has anger issues from when her dad left when she was a kid.<br /> <br /> While in the moment the experiment seemed to go badly, it actually did break down some walls.  That counts as progress, right?<br /> <br /> THE END!

On tonight’s show <b>Kris Jenner</b>‘s planned a family vacation and it continues in the Dominican Republic. If you missed last week’s show called “Dominican Republic, Part One”, we have a full and detailed recap for you here.<br /> <br /> In the previous episode, the family went on a big vacation to Dominican Republic.  Kourtney’s indecisiveness caused herself, Scott and Kim to miss their flight. Bruce was stewing over Scott. Kris drank a bottle of wine and then thought she could drive a jet ski (I love Kris’ responsible parenting).  Khloe reminded Kris that it’s ILLEGAL to drink and drive, Kris quipped, “This is a different country.”  Kris throws  caution and responsible parenting to the wind and drives that Jet Ski.  Later, Kris jumped into the pool clutching inflatables, clearly drunk too.<br /> <br /> Khloe and Kourtney have a chat about Kris wanting to meet up with Todd (the guy that broke her marriage up with Robert Kardashian) and they agree it’s a horrible idea.  Kris makes a huge mistake by attacking Kourtney’s relationship at the dinner table.  Scott and Kourtney swung back, informing her that they won’t take relationship advice from someone that is sneaking around to meet up with a guy she still has unresolved feelings for.  Bruce started to lose his mind over the Todd situation.  He storms away from the table and the girls all leave Kris sitting alone as well.<br /> <br /> Tonight, Kris will actually wake up with a mysterious medical condition or so she thinks so, but it’s an allergic reaction that swells her up, Scott feels like an outcast and Bruce takes the kids shooting, but will Kim be able to keep up the pace?<br /> <br /> Tonight is going to be another crazy episode that you won’t want to miss, so be sure to tune in for our live coverage of E!’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” tonight at 9PM EST!  Meanwhile, while you wait for our recap hit the comments and let us know what you think of season 7 of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” so far!  Check out the sneak peek video of tonight’s show below!<br /> RECAP: Bruce moves his things downstairs, he is mad at Kris for finding out that she hooked up with her old boyfriend and is communicating with the guy. <br /> Khloe is leaving her family in Domenican Republic, she is returning to Dallas to be with her husband. Kim is checking out photos of the day with her brother and Scott, they are all on the bed. Scott is bored and wants to go hang out, but nobody wants to go.<br /> <br /> It’s dark out and Rob gets Scott to sneak over to Kendall and Kylie’s suite and scare them; the girls are scared and made at the guys.  The next day, Bruce wakes up Scott and asks him if he was drunk when he pulled the prank on the girls last night. Kim gets a text message from her mom to go see her immediately, she heads there with Rob and they find their mom’s lip swollen, Bruce walks in and says it is God punishing Kris because she is communicating with her old flame. Kim asks her mom if she snuck out in the middle of the night to get plastic surgery because she looks like Daffy Duck. Kourtney walks in and she is shocked, so are the other girls. As Bruce walks out, he tells Kris to check her emails maybe there is a new one from her old lover!<br /> <br /> Kim decides to get a massage while Bruce takes Kyle, Kendall, Kim and Rob skeet shooting. Kim tries it, but she doesn’t like it. Meanwhile, Koutney is at the beach with Mason. Scott is still sleeping off his hangover, which isn’t making Kourtney happy in the least.<br /> <br /> Bruce is back and Kris is still swollen, so he heads out for a meal with the rest of the family.<br /> <br /> Everyone is at the pool and Kim asks Scott if it is true that he peed in the trash can last night in the kitchen. Kourtney tells Scott that he shouldn’t be drinking during the day. Scott is upset, he feels like everyone is nagging him. He says he wants to go home and Kourtney tells him to then leave and ups and does just that and says to everyone, “I don’t even want to come on these stupid family vacations anyways”.<br /> <br /> Rob blames Kim for causing Scott to leave, they all get into an argument over the whole thing. Kris comes out to the pool and Mason is a little afraid to look at her with her lip so fat. A nurse arrives and gives Kris some pills for her allergic reaction, Kris realizes that Scott is not there. Bruce walks in and wonders about the same thing, Kourtney doesn’t care and is not calling him, she just thinks he headed over to another hotel.<br /> <br /> Bruce asks Kourtney if she is ready to deal with this for the rest of her life, every time Scott has a tantrum he runs away. Kris takes the opportunity and tells Bruce to support her and trust that she didn’t do anything with Todd and she’s not interested because she loves Bruce.<br /> <br /> The girls are filming a family music video, its kind of become a tradition with the girls.<br /> <br /> Bruce goes to see Scott and tells him that just leaving is not the way to deal with things. Scott goes on to tell Bruce that all he wants to do is make Kourtney happy, he is scared to do anything. Bruce realizes that Scott is sensitive and because he is not married to Kourtney, he feels like he is always on the outside.<br /> <br /> Bruce takes the time to speak to Kourtney and tells her that Scott doesn’t feel like he is a part of the family, he’s insecure and she needs to make him feel better.<br /> <br /> At dinner, Scott returns and Mason is thrilled to see his daddy. Scott takes the time to thank Kris for arranging the family trip. Music starts and Bruce gets up with Kris and starts dancing which gets the rest of the family to get up as well.<br /> <br /> The next day, Kris tells Kourtney that she has to commit to Scott because he is feeling disconnected because of her.<br /> <br /> The family surprises Kris with dinner and they all tell her the “pit” of their trip and the “peak”.  Kourtney takes a  few minutes to talk to Scott, he really wants to marry her but tells her that he is not going to try forever. He goes on to tell her that she doesn’t show her appreciation for him and what he deals with in her family. Kourtney gives him a bracelet she bought him to prove that she is committed to him.<br /> <br /> The end!

On tonight’s show <b>Teresa Giudice</b> and her brother, Joe, finally go to therapy, but both of them can’t seem to get over the past. If you missed last week’s show called “Public Display of Rejection” there is a full and detailed recap HERE for you!<br /> <br /> <b>Spoiler alert</b>: If you’re one of those people who doesn’t like spoilers, <b>stop reading now</b>! We have some juicy spoilers for you about the season 4 episode 10 of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey!”<br /> <br /> The last time we saw Teresa she had decided to make a big move forward with her brother, but Kathy was suspicious of her motives.  Teresa and Jacqueline faced-off again after their last blowout at Melissa’s radio debut party, ending their 15-year friendship for good.  As usual there was tons of drama!<br /> <br /> Bravo official synopsis of tonight’s show “Temporary Shrinkage”: Teresa gets a surprise visit from her cousin, Rosie who is determined to clear her sister’s good name.<br /> <br /> Teresa and her brother, Joe, finally go to therapy, but both of them can’t seem to get over the past. Jacqueline and Caroline also discuss whether or not they’ll be including Teresa and her husband in their trip to Napa… Things get wild when Kathy and Rosie hits up the gay bar scene together, and a surprising visit from Rosie to Teresa, shows that not all of Teresa’s family has given up on her.<br /> <br /> Tonight’s episode is going to be filled with the usual Housewife drama and you won’t want to miss it, so be sure to tune in for our live coverage of the show tonight at 10 PM EST!  While you wait for our recap hit the comments and let us know what you think of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 4 so far!  Also we have a sneak peek video of “Temporary Shrinkage“  below!<br /> <br /> <b>Tonight’s recap</b>:   Here we go, another episode of the <b>Teresa</b> show.  The broke housewife and her shady husband <b>Joe </b>are still building a garage on their property. Teresa uses it as a photo op for her girls.  She dresses them identically in overalls and takes pictures of them pushing a wheelbarrow. <b>Rosie </b>shows up to talk to Teresa about all the tabloid crap.  Ro confronts her on whether or not Teresa is planting stuff in the media again.  C’mon already.  If everyone says Teresa admitted to planting stories why are we discussing it every week.  We already know that Teresa says and does whatever it takes to make it into the tabloids.  Teresa also tells Ro about how she’ll be going to therapy with her brother.<br /> <br /> <b>Joe Gorja </b>is sitting down with <b>Cathy</b> and Rosie and he tells them he is contemplating therapy with Teresa.  Ro poses the question that is on everyone’s mind, is Teresa trying to fix things with the family because she (at least momentarily) has lost Jacqueline and Caroline?<br /> <br /> <b>Caroline </b>and <b>Jacqueline</b> are having dinner together with their families and they seem pretty united in the fact that they want nothing to do with Teresa.  Meanwhile Kathy and Joe and Melissa are prepping their Sunday dinner.  In her words, “If you’re Italian and from New Jersey, Sunday means family.”  <br /> <br /> Caroline and Jacqueline are worried sick about <b>Ashley’s</b> plan to move to LA all on her own.  Jacqueline says she will not enable her daughter any more and that Ashley will be on her own in LA with no job and little money. As her husband put it, ‘She’s giving her just enough rope to hang herself.”<br /> <br /> Teresa decides to lie to her girls and tell them she is going to lunch with her brother Joe, rather than tell them it’s a therapy session. Joe believes that therapy is all that will save their relationship.  He doesn’t believe he’ll get his old sister back but he is hopeful he may learn to like this version.<br /> <br /> Jacqueline is still broken up over ending her friendship with Teresa.  She’s taking it all like a bad breakup and the shame in the matter is that while she is crying over the loss, Teresa could care less.<br /> <br /> Teresa goes in to talk to the therapist  first as Joe waits outside.  She basically rips Joe’s wife apart, as usual.  It’s the same old story, Melissa pulled Joe away from Teresa and she lost her brother. She’s never done anything to disrespect him, blah blah blah.  Obviously Teresa has no idea how she treats her brother or comes across to others.  This therapist tells her he thinks she has a bad temper and does a lot of stomping away from disputes.<br /> <br /> When it’s Joe’s turn to talk to the therapist it goes much better. He explains that Teresa puts down his wife and it chases him away.  The therapist seems to believe and side with Joe. He brings Teresa back into the room to talk. He suggests they let the old grievances go and aim to have Sunday dinner together in the present tense.  She wants to rent an RV and have both of their families drive together to Napa. The therapist strongly believes it’s a horrible idea and of course, Teresa wants to prove him wrong. Joe decides to bring up the situation with their parents. Joe has supposedly sold his parents home out from beneath them and Teresa and Joe are going to put them up- according to a tabloid. A huge fight breaks out. He is mad because Teresa makes herself look good in the press, yet her brother has picked up the tab for 12 years.  Tune in next week to find out if these two will resolve this confict or if it’ll escalate like usual.

On tonight’s show the top 20 will be introduced. If you missed last week’s show, the “Vegas Callbacks”, we have a full and detailed recap here for you.<br /> <br /> On last week’s SYTYCD it was the Vegas “Call Backs”, the open auditions were over and 181 contestants were left and in 8 gruelling rounds over four days, the top 20 was getting a lot closer. Not everyone was able to take the pressure. The judges were looking for dancers that could stand tall, genuine super stars. The judges last week were; Lil C, Debby Allen, Tyce Diorio, Mary Murphy, Adam Shankman and Nigel Lithgow.<br /> <br /> In a shocker last week, Joshua tried to do a new trick and flipped backwards then passed out, he lefrt in an ambulance. Joshua’s accident shook everyone to their core. and the show makes us wait until tonight to find out what happens to him.<br /> <br /> Tonight on SYTYCD the top 20 will be revealed, are you excited to see who makes it? After weeks and weeks of auditions SYTYCD will unveil its Season 9 top 20. Tonight is the show’s 200th episode and there will be nine performances with returning choreographer <b>Mia Michaels</b> there to assist the dancers. The guest judge this evening  is <b>Zooey Deschanel.</b><br /> <br /> Stay tuned for our live coverage of the show tonight at 8 PM EST! Meanwhile, let us know what you think of  season 9 so far and who do you want to be in the top 20 of  “So You Think You Can Dance?”<br /> <br /> <b>RECAP:</b> Who has made it to the top 20? We find out tonight. Zooey Deschenel is the guest judge for the 200th episode. The 35 dancers that made it through Vegas arrived in Hollywood last week, each with their own unique story. The auditions are over, the top 20 is just around the corner.<br /> <br /> Tonight we will meet the top 10 girls and the top 10 guys. First up tonight is Alexa, she is the last girl to be cut last year, so appropriately , she will be the first girl this year to find out if she makes it.<br /> <br /> Alexa is really nervous, she looks beautiful. She is on the show, Alexa made it to the top 20. Waiting outside is George Lawrence II, he is also in the top 20, as well as Will Thomas. Megan Branch is next, the judges have loved it, do they still? Nope, Megan didn’t make it, her journey is over. Collin Fuller also didn’t make it. Amber Jackson is a SYTYCD veteran, will she make it this year? Amber makes it to the top 20 Thefirst four dancers to make it to the top 20 are performing to “We Found Love”.<br /> <br /> Nigel thinks Will has to move his big body as much as the smaller ones. He is amazed how unattractive Amber was before and now she is a star. Alexa found her performance and Nigel doesn’t want her to loser it. Nigel says that George would still shine if all the lights went out.<br /> <br /> The next person to find out his fate is Nick and he is about to have another breakdown in front of the judges, he makes it.<br /> <br /> Whitney and Lindsey are next, they are both friends, they are only looking for one ballroom girl. The judges deliver the news, Whitney is in the top 20.  Nick, Lindsey and Whitney are performing to “Dance Again”.<br /> <br /> Mary loved it, she said “the train just pulled up to the station”, she loves having three ballroom dancers. Although, Mary wants a little more from Nick, the girls are the hottest tomales.<br /> <br /> Zooey loved it, she found the two girls were really synchronized and was a little worried for Nick, overall she really enjoyed the routine.<br /> <br /> Eliana faces the judges, she made it. Two ballet boys now are fighting for their place in the top 20. Keon and Daniel will find out their fate, they make it and do a ballet performance with Eliana.<br /> <br /> Nigel loves that these professional dancers gave up their careers to come on the show.  Desmond Richardson choreographed this routine.<br /> <br /> Tiffany finds out if she makes it through, it’s a yes. Audrey is up next, she made it to the top 20. Bad news for Abigail, she didn’t make it and neither did Caitlyn, Catie or Rebecca. Janelle is next, she took Vegas by storm, will she do it again tonight? Yes, she made it.<br /> <br /> Zooey loved it, she found they were a great pair, very beautiful choreography. Nigel shows off Melanie Moore, the season 8 winner, she is in the audience. Nigel think the girls looked like two dancing Pebbles, from the Flintstones.<br /> <br /> Joshua Alexander ended Vegas week with an accident, he never got to perform his solo. Now Joshua faces the judges who are all happy that he is fine, but he is not going to make it. Others that did not make it are; Blake, Jasmin and Daniel.<br /> <br /> Matthew is next, he looks a little like Ryan Gosling and he has just stepped into the top 20. Darien is next, he is a part of the top 20. Janae made it to the top 20, the final girls, Emila and Jill are really nervous. Emilia made it through.<br /> <br /> Amelia, Janae, Matthew and Darien perform a contemporary number.<br /> <br /> Zooey loved it, she found that Emilia stood out the best, so beautiful. Mary loved the routine and found the dancers were out of the radar.<br /> <br /> Cole is next to find out if he made it or not, Mary tells him that she loved his speed and power, he made it through.<br /> <br /> Aaron and Zack, the tappers, both didn’t make it.<br /> <br /> Two spots to fill left, Devon and Brandon, two steppers are up and they have really never had a stepper on the show.<br /> <br /> Only one place left and there are two dancers, Feliciano and Cyrus. Cyrus made it through with a warning from Nigel that he better make it happen. Cole, Brandon and Cyrus performing to “Resolve”.<br /> <br /> Nigel loved it and he can’t believe that Cyrus is still on the show. Mary thinks they hit it out of the ballpark. Zooey is speechless, she was really blown away.<br /> <br /> The top 10 girls perform a routine to “Where The Lights Get In”.<br /> <br /> Nigel thought it was absolutely beautiful, he loves the way Travis’ choreography flows. Zooey thought everyone was so lovely and tells all the girls to enjoy it.<br /> <br /> The top 10 men perform a routine, but first Sonia makes them practice with their shirts off, oh yeah! There is some serious testosterone on the stage, Mary Murphy is probably thrilled.<br /> <br /> A standing ovation for the guys, Nigel is delighted now that there will be a male and female winner, but he is unsure about the maternity pants that the men are wearing.<br /> <br /> Mary loved it, it was just great, very strong. Zooey admits to not having any upper body strength and tells the guys she could never join them on stage, although she loved what they did.<br /> <br /> Another standing ovation, Nigel welcomes Mia back home and tells her that she has been missed.
