T.T.T.TV. (May 2)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


A Community College, a Killer and a Bunch of Nerds

1. Community (NBC 8/7c)


Last weeks body switching episode was probably the best way they could have tackle something so odd. But they did it and did it well. Tonight's episode is called, Heroic Origins, and for me that only means one thing, the return of Abed's Batman. I hope it's the return of Abed's Batman, I really do.

2. Hannibal (NBC 10/9c)


This show is so gory that an NBC affiliate in Utah decided that they weren't going to air it anymore (that affiliate also took A New Normal off the air so it isn't saying much). And while watching last weeks episode I definitely had a few gross out moments but the acting and writing are so good I got over it pretty quickly. This week we get a special treat as Eddie Izzard plays a psychopath killer locked up like Silence of the Lambs and Will has to figure out if he is really the Chesapeake Killer.

3. The Big Bang Theory (CBS 8/7c)


Bob Newhart guest stars as Sheldon's childhood hero, Professor Proton and you can only imagine how awkward and weird Sheldon will make it.

T.T.T.TV. (May 1)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


Spies, Psychics and Canadians

1. The Americans (FX 10/9c)


The season finale is finally here. What is going to happen? Is it the end of Directorate S? Is Nina going to get revenge on Stan? If she does, will she survive the rest of the episode after admitting to the betrayal of her country? Will the fake wedding blow up in Phillips face? Where does this season end?

It sucks that this means that we will have to wait a whole year before we get more Americans but at least it got a second season and didn't have a fate like Terriers or Lights Out.

2. Psych (USA Network 10/9c)


Shawn Spencer is running for Mayor, do I need to say anything else?

3. Big Brother Canada (Slice 8/7c)


Ladies and gentlemen the inaugural season of Big Brother Canada is coming to an end this week and with that being said, watch it! In order for me to get on a subsequent edition this season needs to have really good ratings. So for the 12 people that will read this post, tune in to the last few episodes of season 1 of Big Brother Canada. Do it for me.

T.T.T.TV. (April 30)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


Reality TV Tuesday

1. Hell's Kitchen (Fox 8/7c)


This weeks episode doesn't look have as exciting as last week's but somebody actually leaves a hair in their food. I thought that only happened when my mom was cooking.

2. The Voice (NBC 8/7c)


Another knockout episode, if they do it like last year it will be Blake and Ushers teams that are up and I hope that we get some Ryan Innes.

3. Storage Wars (A&E 9/8c & 9:30/8:30c)


Do you know what's different this week? Nothing. We still get two new episodes of Storage Wars. Yuuuuuup!!

Big Brother Canada Recap: Episode 27

Big Brother Canada Recap


Life After Andrew

We are now speeding towards the finish line with the final four. Emmet and Jillian have been in complete control of the house since Alec was evicted and they have made the East Coast alliance. Talla still has no idea what it means to be in the final three and Gary is more interested in what he looks like then how he is playing the game. There is a week left and if you are a fan of the show hold on and keep watching because even if the finale is lackluster we want the ratings to be high enough to get a second season.

Head of Household
(The HoH has all the power in the house.)

Jillian

Jillian earned the HoH power by getting as many true or false questions as both Talla and Gary wrong. The competition ended in a tiebreaker and like pretty much the rest of the contest Jillian won by guessing better than Gary or Talla, which I don't know if that sort of circumstance should ever be rewarded. She got the ire of the house because they had to see her HoH room for the fourth time but really should they be mad at her or mad at themselves for not winning more competitions. Jillian used her power to make a (fake) final two deal with Talla and also securing the idea that she will not go to the final two with Emmet when she clearly is only taking Emmet. When the season ends if she is in the final two I hope the jury can overlook her broken promises and see how good of a game she played when it came to the competition side of things.
Nominees
(The two players currently nominated for eviction.)

Gary - I don't know who is the pawn and who is the target this week and at this point the only person who can decide that is the person who wins the Power of Veto (if it isn't the HoH). Gary looks to have the best chance if Emmet wins the PoV but if Talla wins her first competition it could be the end of Gary.

Talla - If Talla decided to win her first competition she could control her fate going into the final three. The more likely thing that will happen is that Talla will not win the PoV and end up just floating her way to the Jury house.
Big Brother Canada Awards
(Canada voted on some of the best moments this season.)

Best House Entrance
Nominees: Talla Walks in Backwards & Gary says Hi to Danielle's big boobs
Winner: Talla walks down the stairs backwards



Best Costume
Nominees: Andrew's French Maid & Jillian Evil Dead Outfit
Winner: Andrew's French Maid

Best Freak Out
Nominees: Suzette on Aneal & Talla 1-9-1-9-9
Winner: Talla 1-9-1-9-9

Best Alter Ego
Nominees: Gary as Zoe Winbur & Alec as Ricardo
Winner: Gary as Zoe Winbur

Best Kiss
Nominees: Emmet and Jillian & Andrew and AJ
Winner: Andrew and AJ

Best Dramatic Cry
Nominees: Aneal's Sympathy Cry & Gary Goes on Slop
Winner: Gary Goes on Slop

Random Thoughts 
(Here are some of my random thoughts.)

- The HoH competition this week was pretty much a guessing game, unless you want to believe Talla that she was the only one who knew the actual answers.

- Emmet is the most self aware person in the house and the way he played Talla after she got upset was the reason he should win this season.

Running Cast Grade: C
(Last Week: C)
(Grading the cast on an episode to episode basis.)

I don't know about you, but I already know who I want to win and it is pretty simple at this point. The winner of Big Brother Canada should be Emmet and there is no arguing unless you have decided who to root for based solely on who you like more. Emmet has played the best social game, he has had more alliances than anyone and hasn't really burnt any bridges or gotten any blood on his hands. Not only that but he has played one of the best physical games as well winning HoH more times than anyone except for Jillian. If he doesn't make it to the finale I will be shocked and won't root for any of the other people who really don't deserve it.

T.T.T.TV. (April 29)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


Norman Bates, Usher Raymond and Ted Mosby

1. Bates Motel (A&E 10/9c)


It looks like brother Bates is going to be looked at for a murder. Norma is going to lose Norman so she'll yell his name and it looks like the first guest at the motel will be as creepy as the people who run it. It's always nice seeing Wynn Duffy(Jere Burns) spread his wings and land on another TV show, hopefully his character is half of the one he plays on Justified.

2. The Voice (NBC 8/7c)


Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the knockout rounds. Each coach has eight singers left on there teams and will have to pair up two singers and pick a winner. The difference from the battle rounds is that the artists all pick their own songs and only learn who they are battling minutes before they have to go up. This is probably be some of the better performances of the season and I will be pretty mad if we don't actually see all the performances.

3. How I Met Your Mother (CBS 10/9c)


It's a surprise bachelor party for Barney! It looks like Ted and Marshall went all out and didn't skimp on anything. I wonder if Ted meets his future wife on this episode, probably not though.

T.T.T.TV. (April 28)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


Dragon's, Vikings and Don Draper

1. Game of Thrones (HBO 9/8c)


Last week's episode is arguably one of the best episodes of the show, and since all that energy was expended during the last hour this weeks will probably be a little slower. From the clip it looks like we will finally get an episode where Rob actually does something, Tywin is planning to save his son and Arya is condemning someone to burn in hell. I know it wont be as good as last week but I am still super excited for what comes next.

2. Mad Men (AMC 10/9c)


As much as the previews for next episode of Mad Men usually give up, this weeks we actually get a couple of clips from the same party. So my prediction for something that will happen this episode is simple: The main characters will attend a party. I'm getting good at this.

3. Vikings (History Channel 10/9c)


In order for Ragnar to get King Horrik to hep him attack Britain he needs to settle some sort of land dispute with another tribe of Vikings. Everything seems to be going well until his wife starts having dreams about his fate. If this is the last episode of Vikings ever I will be utterly disappointed if we don't get a resolution of the British conflict and if this is the end is Ragnar going to die? I really hope not.

Big Brother Canada Recap: Episode 26

Big Brother Canada Recap


Andrew vs. Talla

This season has been pretty good if you compare it to the first season of Big Brother US season 1. If you compare it too any of the newer seasons well then that's you're own fault and I can't deny that this season isn't really that exciting. The few fights that we have had have been tame and mostly fueled by alcohol. The alliances have been weak to say the least and there is a floater, a coattail rider and a Canada's choice returnee in the final five. Has it been a season driven by characters? No. Did Big Brother do to much to affect the game? Maybe, but probably not. We won't know the problem until they put together a season that does excite and entertain for the whole two months. For now we are left with the final five that could probably sleep there way through the last day.

In Memoriam
(Remembering the evicted house guest.)

Andrew

Old Man Andrew, the oldest of the men in the house and also the crankiest. Every time Talla did something ridiculous you would let her know and by the end you were just blatantly punishing her with insults. You won enough competitions to get you to the final five and if you wouldn't have relied on Jillian and Emmet as much as you did you could have made it further. You bro-love for AJ will go down in history as the weirdest showmance in Big Brother and the way that you always told it as it was, may not have helped you, but was quite admirable. You were my initial pick to win it all and I'm sad to see you go.

Head of Household
(The HoH has all the power in the house.)

Competition: What the Dunk?

The three remaining eligible players were each seated on dunk tank planks about a dunk tank full of freezing cold Canadian water. They had to remember nine pictures they had been shown earlier and answer true or false questions about them. If they got it wrong or answered to quickly they would be dunked, the person with the least amount of dunks or zero dunks would win the HoH.

(If you want to know the HoH competition winner highlight the space after winner.)
Winner: Jillian

Random Thoughts
(Here are some of my random thoughts.)

- The Andrew/Talla argument was the best fight of the season. The fact that they both had had a few beers made it even better. Andrew screaming stuff like "THAT'S HORSE SHIT" make me like him more and more.

- Just so everyone knows the Sheyld, spells there name with a 'y' "because, why not?" I wonder if they spell if they spell it Jury or Jurie?

- The Mom's were the best part of the episode. They both seemed to be amazing and supporting parents, especially Gina "Glitter."

- Talla definitely dropped an F-bomb on live TV.

- The Jury house segments are the worst because Talla and AJ are so boring. Alec and Peter were great when they were telling the other two about their alliance. I could watch days straight of Peter pretending to deal with Topaz now that they both have nothing to win or lose.

- Surprise eviction to get it down to 3 before next Sunday, live feeds shut down on Sunday and the last episode of Big Brother Canada After Dark is this weekend. Looks like they are gearing up for a pretty great season finalke. I hope.

Running Cast Grade: C
(Last Episode: B-)

(Grading the cast on an episode to episode basis.)


The Andrew and Talla was the best thing about the episode and the fact that it involved alcohol only proves my point that they should have been flooding the house with magic water. Instead we end up with a final four of Talla, Jillian, Emmet, and Gary. If Jillian or Emmet win the HoH I'm worried that neither of them will make the right move and get rid of the other and to see Jillian and Emmet in the final two would be very anticlimactic. With that said the only real good scenario would be if somehow Gary goes to the end with Emmet and Emmet wins, not only is that probably the best case scenario for fans , it seems the most likely. Hope fully we get some Survivor Season 1 Jury member speeches so that the finale is unforgettable.
