Every week, the staff at TheTwoCents will be posting their top picks for viewing. They won’t always be the top shows of the week, but the programs that each writer is most looking forward to checking out that week.

So, set your DVRs, watch, and then come back here to discuss how the picks worked out for you.

#1 Tuesday, March 8 – 9:00PM ET – BBC – Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares
I’m not gonna lie, I love me some Gordon Ramsay. He’s delightfully crude and vulgar but you can’t deny the man is a hard worker. He also seems to have a really clear idea of what he’s doing. I love watching him go into a failing restaurant and making it profitable again. This particular restaurant, The Granary, is losing 8K a day. Wowza!

#2 Wednesday, March 9 – 8:00PM ET – CBS – Survivor Redemption Island
This week it’s Russell vs. Matt on Redemption Island. Will Russell win and continue to hang on? I’m kind of on the edge of my seat with this one because I really can’t stand the angry gnome, but he’s my husband’s favorite. We’re a house divided.

#3 Wednesday, March 9 – 10:30PM ET – CMT- My Big Redneck Baby
This episode is about a couple who uses a practice baby made out of produce. There’s a camo nursery, a beer can mobile, and a zip line for dirty diapers. Really? Do I need to say any more? It sounds delightful. I’m kind of wondering what kind of produce they use. What’s baby shaped? A watermelon, maybe?

#4 Thursday, March 10 – 8:00PM ET – ABC – Wipeout
I love watching people fall down. My sense of humor is not sophisticated, but dang if this show ain’t funny. We laugh hysterically at “Big Balls” for a number of reasons. If you’re a 12 year old mentally like me, I’m sure you can figure it out.

#5 Friday, March 11 – 6:30PM ET – HBO – Ocean’s Eleven
George Clooney in a tux? Brad Pitt eating shrimp cocktail? Matt Damon as a dorky pickpocket? Yes please! I love this movie so much. Let’s forget Ocean’s Twelve and Thirteen exist and just revel in the moment, shall we?
