It’s the last episode before 90210’s season finale, and the show is definitely setting up our favorite (and not so favorite) characters for some big twists and turns next week.

We’ve got breakups, shakeups, accidental makeouts, and the truly terrifying revelation that Evil Jen intends to spawn!

TwoCents and Five Questions with Aaron Kelly (American Idol)

kelly

…Aaron Kelly, Reality Contestant

Known formerly as “High School Student Aaron Kelly,” Idol’s youngest remaining contestant made it all the way to fifth place. While waiting to see who makes it into the final three tonight, we asked the 17-year-old about his Idol experiences, the judges and his future.

The TwoCents: Was it important to you to kind of stay true to your age and not grow up too fast in this competition?

American Idol — Recap & Review — Top 4

American Idol
Top 4

Original Air Date: May 11, 2010

Mentor Jamie Foxx gave out T-shirts to the Top 4 as they sang “Movie Night.” They either read “contestant” or “artist,” depending on their attitude. In the end, the winner’s shirt should have had enough room for two, because the duets were the top performances of the night.

I was glad that the Lee Love fest that’s been building for the last two weeks seems to have calmed down. It only reached a fever pitch when Lee and Crystal sang a duet.

Lost – Recap & Review – Across the Sea

Lost
Across the Sea

Original Air Date: May 11, 2010

For those of us who’ve patiently waited for answers about the island, tonight’s episode really delivered. Lost is really picking up the momentum here at the very end, with only a few hours left until it’s all over. One of the reasons I loved this episode is that it didn’t focus at all on the main characters, and we got to see a lot of new people.

At the beginning, a pregnant woman arrives on the island (echoes of Claire?) and meets Allison Janney, who is probably the new character I’ve liked the most in this show, ever. The pregnant woman delivers twins, one of whom is named Jacob. The other twin is wrapped in black, and when the woman asks to hold the babies, she is killed.

Fruition may mean a completion, a culmination, a final result but we haven’t come to the end just yet. It is rather the beginning of the end in this week’s final new episode before next week’s season finale!

The time has come to choose a side and in this week’s episode it seems some of our characters have let the line between become blurred. When the battle truly begins in earnest where and who will be standing?

House
Baggage

Original Air Date: May 10, 2010

This week is all about House’s therapy session. Why is he the way he is? Why’s he drinking so much these days?

House has a meeting with his therapist, Dr. Nolan. He’s unusually late and Dr. Nolan thinks he’s stressed. House disagrees and recounts his case from the week. It’s a girl with amnesia. House is diagnosing in his flashback when Dr. Nolan asks why he was in the ER. House admits he was avoiding Wilson because Wilson says that Sam’s moving in and he wants House to move out. Wilson offers to help him find new digs, you know, some place where he didn’t abuse drugs and hallucinate. House says he’s fine. Dr. Nolan asks if he’s sure and House says “Why wouldn’t I be?” Famous last words.

Life is in shambles for more than one person thanks to Zeek’s affair. Arguably, Camille has the worst end of the stick because her husband’s bad decisions have put her in a financial hole. She was holding onto the secret of his affair for so long, and now the poo is hitting the fan so to speak.

But Sarah’s having a hard time dealing too, feeling like she can’t help her mother through this. And let’s not forget about Zeek who tries to hide everything behind a gruff exterior. Something tells me he has more than just an affair in his closet. But what can all of these people seek solace in?

As we all know, Sheldon is unmoved by all things romantic or sexual, and has positively no interest in changing this. That’s why, when he tells Leonard that he’s having a “non-related female” at their apartment for the following two nights, everyone’s reaction is essentially, “Whaa?”

Actually, Raj has to give his reaction through a napkin and from another table, after Sheldon witnesses not one, but TWO unexplained sneezes from him! These will remain his conditions until such time as he can provide two negative throat cultures. But back to the point.

Last night the stars performed two individual routines for the first time. Some did great, some not so much. At the top of the leader board was Nicole with a total of 59 points. At the bottom was Niecy with 45.

No results were announced in the beginning of the show, so all the stars had to sweat it out for a little while before finding out who has danced their last dance. So who was it?
