What is going with the producers of The X Factor? Last week, the episode was delayed by a baseball game and then not completed as the judges picked the 16 acts that would go to the live shows. Then the West Coast lost out completely, only getting a repeat.

So I couldn’t believe it when we on the West Coast didn’t get to see Britney and LA make their selections at all! I seriously feel cheated.

It’s been two weeks since we last saw the Bravermans and it’s been too long. We pick up just days before Kristina’s surgery and as the episode title says, “I’ll be right here” and family is there to have her back, some even going above and beyond.

And through the harder times, it’s also nice to mix in some lighter moments to get us back into the family we’ve grown to love and enjoy. So what happened?

Welcome to this week’s episode of Sons. It is amazing to me how much death has been involved in this season and I am wondering if there is going to be anyone left for the last two seasons that Kurt has planned out. Everything has to come full circle on this show at some point.

Last week there were a lot of loose ends tied up. Jax is not going to have to go back into what happened to Opie now that the Sergeant is dead.  Carla is also dead too, so we do not have to worry about the beat down that Tara put on her. Wendy seems to have disappeared for the time being. Tara saw Otto last week in prison and is going to go back to try and get him to reverse his testimony. Gemma also seems to be on this dark path that she cannot get out of since Clay moved out. This road seems like it is getting uglier by the minute.

The title, I believe, is what we would like for our Annie to have: a wishful beginning of starting over and trying to get her life back on track. But this episode did not really give her that; instead it gave her more things to worry about. As she believes she is going home, she soon realizes that she is at Blue Bonnet Farm to discuss her dealing in Russia, polygraphs and Simon.

Swiftly her plans are changed and she is back in Langley in a nice bear hug from her BFF, Auggie. Yes, he still wants to have the long-awaited talk and beer with her, but after she is settled. Um yeah…good luck with that, especially once we see Eyal is there and we know there is a mission to handle.

This past week the news many of us have been dreading became a reality. After this fall’s thirteen episodes, Private Practice will no longer grace our airwaves. And while the show has occasionally wavered in quality and ratings, it will no doubt be missed by myself and all other viewers who tuned in to follow some of our favorite doctors.

Tonight was possibly the most frenetic hour the show has seen in some time. Apparently rain causes havoc in Santa Monica. Stories overlapped, characters returned, and a new doctor was introduced. Best of all, every doctor had quality screen time, even if some of their actions were a bit questionable… So let’s unravel this hour and share our TwoCents below!

Tonight’s episode of Emily Owens has Emily dealing with the fallback of her proclamation of love to Will. She also offers two patients life altering surgeries, and only one of them makes it out okay. Do Emily and Will decide to stay friends?

It’s Cece’s Birthday. Jess comes over with cake, but since Cece is a model with a car commercial/photo shoot coming up, she declines. She wants Jess to come out with her and the other models – including Nadia, who is the best ever – to some club/party thing? Jess agrees mostly because she loves Cece and can’t deny her a birthday wish even though she finds hanging out with models really boring.

At the party, Jess dances to amuse the other models, but she gets sick of it and talks back, accidentally letting slip that she thinks models are dumb. Cece gets upset and a boob-slapping fight ensues.

Disco, princesses, and brightly colored tuxedos – it can only be Dancing With the Stars. Tonight is part two – last night’s Team Call Me Maybe will be performing their individual routines and we get to witness Team Gangnam Style.

There was a lot of disparity in the judging tonight. They agreed on very little and spent a lot of judging time arguing. I guess that makes for good television though.
