We’re down to seven celebrities and for the first time, they will have to perform two dances this week. First, they will either do the Samba or the Tango, then everyone dances the group Swing dance marathon.

It’s the first chance we get to see the dancers going all out side by side. Read on to find out how everyone did.

Tudors
Episode 3

The King and Catherine finally have dinner together after he is recovered from his leg ulcer issue. Catherine expresses how much she missed the king, but Lady Rotchford and Mr. Culpeper silently smirk when the King asks “if she found something to amuse herself while he was gone”.

At the end of dinner Henry mentions that it’s time for a little nookie in her bed chamber later- he wants her to (finally) conceive his child. At the end, Catherine and Thomas (Mr. Culpeper) have kind of an awkward stare. Oh, and Catherine’s “Uncle”, Lord Sulley, (her Uncle, right?) gets a promotion.

Last week we discovered that the Fairview strangler was Eddie, friend of Preston & Porter and some of the other Fairview teens. When I wondered at the choice by the writers someone kindly pointed out that Julie has insulted him in the first episode after his comedy club act, so it was starting to make more sense.

We saw in last week’s previews that Eddie is not done killing, so who else is going to die? Let’s get right to it…

The previews for tonight look amazing. Sarah might be pregnant. Michelle could be pregnant … or is pregnant … or is halfway pregnant. Grandma Walker comes to visit (oh Ida, how I love thee!) but there’s a house fire.

Is Justin going back into the military? Plus, I’m sure there’s some more York drama in there and some more Ojai/Holly stuff to deal with. I’m excited, are you?

“It’s not just a puzzle, it’s a puzzle for a million dollars.” – Michael

First off, many thanks to Rachel for covering for me when the last episode aired. I was having my own little Amazing Race, trying to make it home from a road trip and when I got home midway through the episode, my DVR had reached 100% and watching the episode was a lost cause.

Kind of like Carol and Brandy’s chances against Little Miss Teen Queen, who thinks she is so great (“I’m so proud of myself…I’m showing the haters what I’m capable of.”). All she is capable of is being a puppet. Let’s see what she does this week and for who.

Glee Creator Entertains An All-Britney Episode

nope, not this brittany

Well, you knew it was bound to happen: EW reports that Glee creator Ryan Murphy is entertaining the idea of an all-Britney Spears episode following the success of the recent “Power of Madonna” show.

The idea began after Spears’ manager asked fans via Twitter if they would like to see her songs get the same treatment.

Yet, it doesn’t stop there. Murphy is also contemplating similar tributes for Billy Joel, Led Zeppelin, and even (gasp!) Courtney Love.

Hey, check it out. England is floating in space. And someone is rehashing the opening from Big. Or…really, I don’t know what this is. But Steven Moffat wrote it, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

We open the scene this week with a flashback to Rush’s life, pre-Icarus. His wife Gloria is seriously ill, yet he seems oddly unconcerned by this. This could be because he’s constantly working on some complex problem, or because he’s having weird visions of his own.

His routine is interrupted by the appearance of one Daniel Jackson, who comes to recruit him into the Stargate problem…but Rush already knows about the Stargate program, and Icarus, and the Destiny. This isn’t a flashback; Rush is literally living this memory all over again.

This week on Merlin, Arthur has feelings for Gwen, Gwen has feelings for Arthur and Lancelot, Lancelot has feelings for Gwen, Morgana and Gwen have feelings for each other and Merlin and Arthur have feelings too. Everybody now – feeeeeelings… nothing more than feeeeeelings…

Also: Gwen gets saved by a grand total of ninety people, Arthur gets stabbed in the heart (figuratively, of course), and did I mention that everyone loves Gwen a lot?  Just want to make that clear.
