Tonight’s Top 10 Shows: Weekend Edition

Watercooler

Saturday, July 21

Not a whole lot on tonight, but I suppose it really doesn’t matter because the Weekly World News assures me that:

So, been nice knowing you and everything, but if the Weekly World News says it’s going to happen, then it must be true.

Sunday, July 22

German actress Franka Potente, best known for playing the titular character in Run Lola Run and Matt Damon’s love interest in the first two Bourne movies turns 38 today.

The Bachelorette (ABC 8pm) Finale: Joined by her family in Curacao, Emily makes her decision.

I got so annoyed with Emily that I stopped watching halfway through the season. Internet research tells me that she’s left with Arie and Jef, which I’m pretty sure we all saw coming from the very first episode. And she’s going to pick Arie, because he’s a race car driver like her ex whom she is clearly still hung up on.

Big Brother (NBC 8pm) The new head of household nominates two contestants to face elimination.

It would appear that Big Brother is TVGasm’s bread and butter. Who knew? (Everybody, obviously, except me.)

Leverage (TNT 8pm) The team tries to keep a hockey enforcer from sustaining permanent injury in the playoffs.

And now I want to watch The Tooth Fairy. Despite all of my expectations to the contrary, it totally did not suck.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E! 9pm) Bruce and Angie Everhart become golf buddies; Rob moves back in with Khole and Lamar.

And for some bizarre reason, a disproportionate percentage of the population keeps caring.

Food Network Star (Food Network 9pm) Finale: The final three are joined by their families and the winner is revealed.

Do other reality competition shows bring the families in for the finales, or just cooking shows? Off the top of my head I can distinctly remember this being how they do things on Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef, and Top Chef. But I’m not so sure about shows like America’s Next Top Model or Project Runway.

True Blood (HBO 9pm) Sookie considers life without faerie powers; Sam locates shooters; Hoyt finds a new group of friends; Alcide prepares for a fight; Lafayette searches for Jesus’ body.

I’m totally expecting an angel to appear to Lafayette: “He is not here. He is risen!”

Big Ang (VH1 9pm) Lil’ Louis needs training to show off his star power; Ang moves into the house of her dreams.

I hope Big Ang wasn’t planning on decorating with a lot of animal prints, because Snooki & JWoww bought up every scrap of animal print fabric in the entire state of New Jersey.

The Bachelorette (ABC 10pm) After the Final Rose: Emily, Arie and Jef talk about the outcome.

How ironic would it be if Arie were to be in a plane crash on his way to film this episode?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey (Bravo 10pm) Kathy opens a gelato stand in Patterson; Teresa is accused of profiting off her family’s recipes; the husbands meets and expose feuds and frail friendships which threaten to jeopardize the Napa trip.

“The husbands meets.” When did they start letting Teresa start writing the episode descriptions?

Strange Sex (TLC 10pm) Wesley’s genitalia has swollen to 160-lbs.

Poor guy probably has to go everywhere pushing his junk in front of him in a wheelbarrow.

What will you be watching this weekend?

About

After giving birth to her fourth child, SuburBint carefully weighed the options and decided that recapping reality TV was probably a better choice in the long run than alcoholism. Liver function tests have yet to confirm the wisdom of this decision. Being an honest-to-goodness recapper is also a dream come true, as she has aspired to do this ever since discovering that such a thing existed way back in 2002.

Her favorite shows of all time include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Coupling, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly, Community, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who, and Veronica Mars. She can also quote The Big Lebowski in its entirety, and will do so with little to no provocation.

    I’ve never seen a single episode of Big Brother, so I really don’t understand all the fuss being made about it. It doesn’t seem all that interesting to me.

    I’m with you Sagitty, haven’t watched a minute, but the ‘caps are hilarious!

    Read a few weeks ago that the “winner” presented Emily with a rock that ABC…er… he paid something insane like $90,000 for. I’d rather have hubbycat. He had his roomie and me pitch in a third for my ring. He repaid his roomie.

    Gosh I love perpetuating ethnic stereotypes, don’t you? An Italian opens a gelato shop in New Jersey. Wow. Isn’t the market pretty well saturated?

    I haven’t noticed anything on the tabloid covers about Emily and her final choice, unlike the last season of the Bachelor where Cortney’s face was everywhere. Am I not seeing them, or does the rest of the world find Emily’s quest for lurve as boring as I do?

    @SuperB, I found out on one of the Internet gossip sites that appear all over the place. About a month ago I read who won, the cost of the ring– you know, way more information than Almost anyone would really ever want.

    @ SSC – I really could care less about the outcome, but I do find it very interesting that the tabloids have pretty much left this season entirely alone, or at least as far as I can recall. Remember when Ali was the Bachelorette? She and Roberto were everywhere for weeks! Emily is d-u-l-l, but I do plan on watching “After the Final Rose” because I’m curious about what excuse she and the “winner” will have as to why they are no longer together.

    Yup. Poor Em is dull, as was the entire season. Well, what I saw of it because my little mind wanders off so easily and I have to go after it.

    Are they not doing Bachelorette recaps anymore on the ‘Gasm? Haven’t seen them recently…

    @ Danielle — My understanding is that our Bachelorette recapper disappeared (from the site, hopefully not in reality.)
