MONDAY (11/26)
- Dancing With the Stars (ABC, 8pm): The final three competitors dance tonight. ABC’s domination of Monday nights officially ends today.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8pm): ‘Barney loses his mojo just as he gets an invite to a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show party.’ I’m willing to overlook another Heidi Klum sighting just to see Neil Patrick Harris squirm.
- Samantha Who? (ABC, 9pm): NOTE NEW START TIME.
- Notes from the Underbelly (ABC, 9:30): Season premiere. So how exactly does this show work? Does someone always have to be pregnant?
- October Road (ABC, 10pm): After it’s Thanksgiving debut, the show now slides into its regular time slot (where I predict it will soon slide right out of).

America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 9: ‘The Girls Go to Shanghai’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model,
Although the girls were preparing for an exciting trip to China, Lisa was having a hard time shaking off her experience at the last judge’s panel. Seeing herself in the Bottom Two really took a toll on her; she was strong for so long, and now she was slowly dropping. Meanwhile, Heather was also feeling a bit nervous about her situation. Her disastrous speech during the last runway challenge sent her spiraling and close to elimination.
After their 14 hour trip to Shanghai, the ladies were greeted by Miss Jay and Jay Manuel at one of the city’s picturesque locales. From there, the girls were transported to their new home – a penthouse suite on the 63rd floor of a hotel. Strangely enough, the room was only equipped with five beds for the six girls. When Saleisha (’I don’t think I’m being spoiled’) refused to share her double-bed, a slighted Heather understandably stormed off. This action, of course, prompted Bianca to once again pick on/laugh at the emotional roommate. Not liking to see Heather ganged up on, Chantal finally encouraged two of the models to share the large bed.

Beauty And The Geek: ‘Whine And Dine’
Posted by David Onda Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, Editorial, Features, Rumors, Spoilers,
There are three teams left in the Beauty and the Geek house: Sam & Nicole, Dave & Jasmine and William & Jenn. Will and Jenn survived last week’s elimination room challenge and sent home Shay and Josh. Despite the fact that Dave and Jasmine began regretting their choice to keep Will and Jenn two weeks ago, Dave claimed that he was happy to see them walk through the door because it would give them a chance to finally work out their differences. Dave/Jasmine and Sam/Nicole welcomed Will/Jenn back with semi-faked happiness anyway and had a moment of silence for Josh and Shay. The moment was interrupted when somebody farted. I’m not sure who it was.
Join me after the jump to find out which two teams are going to the B&G finale and does Dave finally make his move on Nicole?

America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 9: ‘The Girl Who Starts To Lose Her Cool’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model,
Although Lisa was ecstatic about having last week’s best photo, the (internal) pressure to keep up the good work really bothered her. Meanwhile, Heather was feeling particularly bummed about Sarah’s recent departure; the weeks of eliminations were really starting to get to her. Of course, Bianca saw each goodbye as another reason to celebrate. She was far more realistic about the competition than sensitive Heather.
Later the girls met Benny Ninja (posing instructor) and the Director of Elite Model Management (North America) at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. At the school, the ladies were paired with FIDM students who would work with them on their next challenge. The girls were to act as muses for outfits created specifically for them. Although each garment was built off the same basic dress, the individual interpretations had no limits. It was simply up to each model to make sure her outfit reflected her unique personality. Unfortunately, some of the girls were less vocal than others when it came to expressing their opinions. Lisa simply told her designer that she loved to draw and show her legs; Heather told some weird story about feeling like a fire nymph amongst all her water nymph friends; and Bianca only managed to look confused by the proposed ‘Cleopatra on the Mediterranean Sea’ look.
