(Make sure to check out TV Envy’s Programming Schedule.)

• Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm):  “Charlie and Alan wake up together…with a woman they don’t recognize.” Strange, but significantly less awkward than two and a half men.
• CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm):  “Ray Langston of the Las Vegas crime lab arrives in Miami to investigate after a severed leg found in the Everglades is discovered to belong to a girl who disappeared in Las Vegas a week earlier.” Horatio + Morpheus = sunglasses showdown.
• Little People, Big World (TLC, 10pm):  “Jake gets his own cell phone for his 12th birthday, and before long he racks up an outrageous bill, making Matt and Amy question whether he s ready for the responsibility.” The Learning Channel is not known for highlighting responsibility—in pre-teens or fathers of eight.

Paradise Hotel 2: The New Girl Arrives

Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Late Night, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, FOX, Editorial, News,

A new girl just checked into Paradise Hotel 2 and boy is she blond, busty and drunkety drunk drunk drunk.

Last night’s episode began with James apologizing to the men of Paradise Hotel 2 after he got super drunk the night before and made a wee bit of a fool of himself (though frankly it is all relative with this bunch). James told the other men he’d work hard to gain back their trust and respect. Until, of course, he’ll need to back-stab them one by one to win the “ultimate prize.”

Next, we see roommates Mike and Tanya in their hotel suite. While Tanya works out provocatively on the floor (ewww), Mike tells her she has the highest sex drive of anyone he has ever met. (Cue soft porn music.) Then he proceeds to crawl on top of her to do push ups over her while she does crunches. (There is a Cinemax movie with this exact same plot somewhere, I’m sure of it). Tanya swears that she and Mike are “just having fun” but later cries when he expresses his desire to hook-up with the new girl, Stephanie. Tanya admits she is developing genuine feelings for Mike. Mike says Tanya is a “bad ass” and “awesome friend” but he doesn’t want much more than a bed buddy. Hey, at least he is honest about it.
