What’s the reason for the name change?  Well, it might have something to do with the grand prize for the winner of the show.  While ABC has previously kept the specifics of the grand prize a secret, it has now been announced that the grand prize is an appearance in a music video that will be shown during the end credits of “High School Musical 3: Senior Year.”

Hence, the winner will literally “get in the picture” just as the new title suggests.  High School Musical: Get In The Picture is scheduled to debut on Sunday, July 20 from 8 PM to 9 PM ET.  The show will run on Sundays and Mondays for three weeks, before switching to just Mondays through mid-September.  Singer and reality TV veteran Nick Lachey will be hosting the series.

During a recent media call, Jason Castro was asked if he had forgotten the words to “Mr. Tambourine Man” on purpose.  Jason said, “I definitely did not do that on purpose.  I couldn’t believe I forgot such a popular line, something that’s like written on your soul.  Somehow, it slipped my mind.  But I definitely didn’t do that on purpose.”

Another popular story in the press was about how Jason Castro yawned backstage during the show.  When asked about his yawning, Jason explained, “I heard about the yawn.  The people that told me thought it was funny.”  Jason also added, “I am a chronic yawner.  Every week before my song, I’m yawning, and I don’t know where it comes from or why, but I’m always yawning.”

After Jason Castro’s first performance during Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame week, some viewers even thought he mouthed the words “Don’t Vote.”  However, Jason strongly denied this rumor.  Jason explained, “I was saying, ‘Vote.’  And then I said it again because I was kind of trying to emphasize that but nobody heard me, and I remember going and sitting down and thinking about it, and that they kind of have the same syllables, and it’s going to look like, ‘Don’t vote.’  That went through my mind, and I was like, ‘Dang it.’  And I consciously, the second time, I only said vote once.”

Entertainment Weekly also reported that Jason Castro said he was ready to go home.  Jason explained, “There’s an interview; it was last week.  Somebody, I don’t even know where it was from, but that I had said I wanted to go home or something.  And I think this week, everybody kind of had the idea that I was ready to go.  And that wasn’t my mindset at all going in, but every week has its ups and downs, and that morning, when I had that interview, I was kind of frustrated with a lot of things.”

Jason elaborated, “Just my music, the way it was coming along.  And we were selecting songs, and just – I don’t know.  There was a lot going on that morning.  And I don’t know.  So I think that kind of came across wrong, and just with the way I was on the show, I guess, people were kind of thinking that I didn’t want to be there, which was never my mindset.”

Even though Jason Castro denies trying to get voted off, he didn’t deny feeling a little bit of relief after he was eliminated.  Jason explained, “I’ve been telling people I was as happy last night as I was when I found out I made the top 24.  This whole time, I’ve had a blast, and I was trying, but it’s just really been hard.  And that night, I remember before we found out the results, I was just thinking, I was really starting to fear the week ahead, if I made it.  How am I going to do three songs?  I can’t even do two right, and with the hometown visit, it was just going to be a lot of work, even though it would have been so much fun.

Jason continued, “I was just freaking out about it, and so that was all building up, and so I was kind of – I was ready to go either way, whatever they gave me.  When they gave me that, I just – my natural reaction, I just really felt relieved, like the pressure was off.  I loved my time on there, and I would have liked to go farther, but I don’t think I could handle it, so I’m content.”

Day 34 arrived at the Dabu camp and Erik was chatting with the only other remaining fan, Natalie, about the biggest threat left in the game. He said that if Parvati and Cirie were smart, they’d realize that Amanda should be the next to go since she has the most votes from the jury. Natalie agreed, and they planned on one of them going to Exile Island to find the last hidden immunity idol.

But the three favorites, Amanda, Parvati and Cirie didn’t want Erik nor Natalie to go to Exile Island because of that idol, so they had a plan of their own – convincing Erik to send Parvati. Amanda approached him and said that if she won the reward, she would take him if he would promise to do the same for her if he won. A deal was struck. Then she worked her magic on telling him Parvati was the one to send to Exile. Erik was caught in the middle. Should he trust Natalie or Amanda? Who should he send to Exile?

At the reward challenge, the five players were tested on how well they actually knew the game as questions were asked about the previous 15 seasons. The first to four would win a helicopter trip to a luxury resort for a massage, meal and overnight stay. The winner would also choose who was sent to Exile Island.

This challenge proved that Erik is definitely the biggest fan remaining since he won the challenge. But it also revealed that many on there, including Natalie, who has been labeled as a fan, apparently hasn’t seen much of the show or has a terrible memory. The questions didn’t seem that tough for any hardcore Survivor fan. They were asked which season had a player get bitten by a shark to only bite it back. Some struggled with that, among other questions including one about the season in which one player made a pet out of a snake (duh, Rupert on Pearl Islands).

After Erik won, he kept his word by taking Amanda on the reward. Erik then chose to send Parvati to Exile Island. The women had him under control.

Back at camp, it was only Natalie and Cirie since the others were gone on reward and exile, which left Natalie upset. She was not happy that Erik sent Parvati to Exile Island since they had agreed on sending one another in an effort to find the idol.

On their reward, Erik and Amanda were enjoying their island helicopter flight that took them to the resort. Their plan was to not talk strategy and game play so they could simply enjoy their reward. But that was short-lived because at dinner, Erik confided in his reward guest that he wasn’t used to being in a power position since he’s just an ice cream scooper. Then he said maybe it was time to get used to it and be an ice cream man, not an ice cream boy. Oh, brother.

Day 35, Parvati was tanning on Exile Island with no apparent effort made to find the hidden immunity idol since the only reason she was sent there was to stop the others from going.

Back at camp, Erik and Amanda returned from their reward. In their shelter, Cirie was talking to Erik about Natalie being upset. As he talked strategy and the next targets, Natalie stood right behind and listened. He told Cirie that it should be her, himself and Parvati in the final three with Amanda and Natalie their next targets. Busted! Natalie admitted to the other girls that she overheard his strategy session and Cirie said that he was telling every remaining player the same thing – making deals and promises to all of them. Erik knew he was in trouble and needed to win immunity to save himself.

At the challenge, Parvati returned from Exile Island as host Jeff Probst, styling some new plaid shorts unlike his usual khakis, explained the contest. Each player had to use ropes to connect two coordinates within a large circle. Where the ropes intersect is where a bag of puzzle pieces was buried. Then they had to rush back and complete that puzzle, which provided a new set of coordinates. The first to finish three puzzles would win. Erik pulled an early lead and held it the entire time until he won the challenge. In fact, it wasn’t even close. The man who was the definite target now held safety from elimination.

Back at camp, Natalie asked the other women if she was going to be voted off and they told her yes. It wasn’t looking good for her – until Cirie concocted a new scheme that nobody would fall for – except Erik. She thought Natalie should convince him to give her his immunity necklace so she would be safe. Then they would turn and vote him out. But what argument would be strong enough to give up immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final four?

Natalie approached him alone in the cave and said that they would all vote out Amanda if he gave up his immunity. He immediately said no and questioned why they couldn’t vote out Amanda anyway. She told him that by giving up immunity, he would be redeeming himself for all the lies and doubletalk he had been doing to all four remaining women. That way, it could earn him some trust back. He went to Cirie next to talk about it. She told him that saving Natalie by giving up his necklace would be the signal that he was trying to redeem himself and they would all vote Amanda out.

He was actually considering the plan, but wanted to switch up the vote to Parvati since he thought she had found the idol on Exile Island and had given it to Amanda. “We got him on a hook, we just have to reel him in,” Cirie said. So, both Cirie and Natalie agreed to change the vote to Parvati – or so he thought.

At Tribal Council, Amanda and Parvati attacked Erik and said that nobody trusted his word anymore since he was telling all of them the same things. He apologized profusely and felt bad saying he needed redemption to prove to the jury he deserved some votes if he got to the end. Probst asked Cirie if apologies mattered at this point and in a brilliant move she said that it did matter because redemption is important – but actions speak louder than words. Erik obviously took the hint and said, “Actions do speak louder than words” as he handed over his immunity necklace to Natalie. Everybody had shocked faces from the jury to the four women. James (on the jury) couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

As Erik went to cast the first ballot, the four women were amazed their plan had worked. When Parvati voted for Erik she said, “You’re crazy. You’ll officially go down as the dumbest Survivor ever – in the history of Survivor ever.”

As Probst prepared to read the votes, everybody was shaking their heads in disbelief that Erik could be so naïve – even more than Jason (wait, is that possible?). In a 4-1 vote, Erik was blindsided and ousted from the competition. As his torch was snuffed, James on the jury said, “I’ve lost my reign as dumbest Survivor ever.” Some may remember that James had two hidden idols on the China season, didn’t play either and was voted out.

After Erik left Tribal Council, Probst turned to the group and said, “I think that is what you call a life lesson.”

In his exit interview Erik Reichenbach said, “Damn! Damn! They got me! I should’ve known better. Those damn girls. I mean, there’s one thing to be said about surviving the elements and there’s another thing to be said about survivor four crazy, sexy women. I never thought that I would be shoulder to shoulder with all these people I’ve seen on TV. These are my heroes and they’re talking to me and acknowledge me as a person. This whole experience is indescribable.”

Now only four remain – three favorites (Parvati, Natalie and Cirie) against one fan (Natalie). Find out who wins the $1 million on Sunday night’s two-hour finale followed by a live reunion show.

Gretta Monahan, owner of Grettacole Salons, Spas and Boutiques in Boston (as well as Grettastyle Studio in New York City) has joined Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, as a “fashion accomplice.” Fashion fans will recognize Gretta from appearances on The Rachael Ray Show, The Today Show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, and The View as well as her beauty and fashion tips found in W Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Elle, and Marie Claire. Monahan was also used as a consultant for Dove’s Real Beauty campaign.

“I’ve been a fan of Gretta’s for awhile now - she’s on the edge of fashion with a fresh approach that resonates well with all types of women,” said Gunn. “I’m thrilled to have her as my fashion accomplice.”

As in season one, the show will use Tim Gunn’s book, Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality Taste and Style, as a manual and will use a tough-love approach to helping the fashion-flawed fix their own fashion problems. This season, while Gunn focuses on the “big picture” problems of each woman, Monahan will micromanage–accompanying the women on shopping sprees while advising and turning a listening ear to their fashion fears.

A premiere date and time has not yet been set for season two of Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style. Stay tuned to Reality TV Magazine for updates as they are released.

Downstairs while trying to play air hockey Jo witnesses Michelle and Ashley “acting like two kids” as they go back and forth with “no, yes, no, yes”, and say that they need to grow up. Jo thinks that Michelle takes out her emotions on Ashley.

Jo realizes how difficult it is for Michelle to give the kids what they need when she is constantly worried about her husband and checking the computer for an email. Michelle admits that she should just be happy when she GETS an email, but sometimes days will go by between emails and phone calls and it is at that time that she really starts to panic.

During a conversation between Jo, Michelle and the kids Sindo admits that he feels like their mother doesn’t like them. Jo realizes that hearing this frustrates Michelle, but says that Michelle often overreacts to situations and that is why the kids respond the way they do.

A little while later Sindo Sr. calls from Iraq and Jo notices an immediate change in Michelle. She is happy and calmer than she has been all day with the kids. Michelle informs Sindo that the kids are not behaving and Jo hears him tell them they need to act right. He then tells Jo that he knows he can tell them that on the phone, but as soon as he hangs up that they are misbehaving again. He says that his wife needs to worry less about him and more about the kids who are there and who need her. Jo agrees and then lets them talk in private.

Family Meeting
The next morning Jo sits down with Michelle for the “family meeting” where Jo points out to her what she sees as the problems and tells her what they are going to do to change it. Jo then talks to the kids and presents them with a list of rules. The first two being to treat each other with respect and to listen to one another. Jo also touches on them remembering their manners.

After explaining the rules Jo explains that when they break them that Michelle will kneel down to their level, calmly tell them that they need to behave and if they don’t then they will go to the naughty chair. Sindo states that he is tired of the yelling and thinks that his mother will be calmer with the naughty bench and the rules.

Michelle’s first and second tests come shortly thereafter when they go to Sindo’s hockey practice. Ashley tells her mother that she wants popcorn and when her mother says no Ashley gets upset. Michelle kneels down and quietly tells her that she needs to stop the attitude or that she will go sit on the floor. The tantrum only gets worse so Jo takes over, pulls Ashley away from the immediate surroundings, gets down to her level and firmly tells her that she will stop the behavior now or go to time out. Ashley calms down and goes back to stand by her mom. Then Mikey will not stay off the ice and after telling him twice, along with a little pushing from Jo, Michelle puts him in time out. Mikey responds by telling his mom that he loves her and giving her a hug. Jo considers it a success.

Once they get back to the house Jo has a surprise for Michelle. Waiting for her on the computer is her husband live, looking back at her through a web-cam. Michelle is shocked and Jo explains to her that it is a better way to keep in touch. Now, whenever Sindo Sr. can call, she can actually see him. Michelle tells him that she is going to correct the problems in the house and with her, but that when he comes home he needs to support that and he promises that he will.

Jo waits while Michelle brings the kids in with their eyes closed and surprises them with being able to see their father. The kids are ecstatic and seeing the kids give a group hug put a smile on Sindo Sr.’s face. Jo then directs them all to a family website that she set up where they can all post messages back and forth to each other and keep in touch. This proves to be a great idea throughout the show as the kids send and get private messages from their father, helping to strengthen the bond between them.

Jo wants the family to have fun so she takes all of them to a bounce house environment where they can play together and laugh. They all have a great time but Michelle is worried about Ashley throwing a tantrum when it is time to go. Jo tells her to give warnings about when they are going to leave, let them know when it is half way, and then start counting down the minutes as it gets closer. With three minutes to go Michelle is very panicked as Ashley runs away from her. However, when time runs out she is surprised and happy that Ashley gets ready to go quickly, and only asks if they can come back.

When they get home they prepare for a party with five of the kid’s friends. Everyone is excited, Michelle tells all the kids the rules and the party begins. Sindo, in his excitement, throws something at the ceiling that hits the lamp on the fan and breaks it. Jo is worried about Michelle’s reaction but Michelle surprised them both by saying that it was an accident, cleaning it up, and continuing to have fun with the children. During the party Jo says her goodbyes and leaves Michelle to handle the situations alone for the next couple of weeks.

Jo Comes Back

In many episodes of Supernanny, Jo is horrified to see the rules fall apart as the parents and kids revert back to their old behavior once she is out of the house. This time however, was different than the others. Jo came back and watched several videos with Michelle where the kids were behaving, Michelle was doing what she needed to do, and the home was calm. Jo praised her continuously on succeeding.

Then the pair watch a video of Mikey picking his nose and biting his toe nails. They also watch the boys arguing with mom about brushing their teeth, Mikey going as far as stating that he wants his teeth to fall out so that he can get money from the tooth fairy. They also see video of Sindo calling Michelle names and hitting her butt with a hockey stick. Michelle and Jo decide that they need to go over manners with the kids a little more.

Jo gives the kids a “test” where she asks them about what Mikey needs when he puts his finger up his nose, and Mikey jumps up and says he needs a tissue. Jo then asks what Sindo thinks his mom should do when he calls her a bad name and he mentions that she should follow the steps for punishment and he says that he knows it is against the rules for him to call her names. Michelle is excited to see that the kids know the rules and Jo says they did great, while tearing up the test.

Jo’s last assignment in the house is getting the kids to brush their teeth correctly 2x a day. She has a 5′ toothbrush made that lists all the rules for brushing teeth and proceeds to pretend to demonstrate what they are supposed to do. She then tells Mikey that the tooth fairy won’t take or pay for rotted out teeth that don’t fall out naturally, but rather because they were not taken care of. Mikey seems to understand.

Jo leaves the house for the last time confident that Michelle can handle it. More importantly though she leaves Michelle confident that Michelle can handle it. Jo helped Michelle find a way to achieve the peace and harmony in her home that she craved.

Terri Tassie and her husband Tom believe in everyone operating on schedule and everything being in its place. Terri is a romance enhancement saleswoman and Tom owns a car dealership and together they believe that hard work and a rigorous schedule will make for happy kids and healthy adults.

Michelle Tyson, on the other hand, doesn’t do discipline. Her husband Todd is a bail bondsman and works until all hours of the night chasing down bad guys who break the rules. An odd choice of career for Todd, given that he doesn’t enforce any rules in his household. There are no chores for the kids, dinners are fast food, food-fighting monstrosities, and the kids openly curse with no reprimand from Mom and Dad.

The wives swap lives and right away there is drama when Michelle has to dump the children’s clothes on the floor because their dresser drawers aren’t neat enough. Michelle doesn’t like this punishment for the boys, nor does she care for Tom, with his “disturbingly flashy” clothes and his wild hand gestures. Her solution? Dump Tom’s clothes on the floor so he can see how it feels. “I’m done! You’re a dictator!” she says, and storms out of the room. Her plan doesn’t work—Tom just makes the boys clean it up anyway.

At the Tyson house, Terri struggles with the profane language of the girls, who are very in-your-face about their right to drop f-bombs whenever they feel like it. When Terri catches 10-year old Autumn in a lie about leaving her backpack at home and confronts Autumn about it, the girl calls Terri a b*tch. When Terri appeals for Todd’s help in the matter, he says he has no problem with Autumn using “the B word” on Terri and Terri is further disturbed, worried that some day Todd will be arresting his own children.

After week one, it’s time for the new wives to change the house rules. “All work and no play make you a dull family!” Michelle says to the Tassies. “Todd, you’re asleep at the wheel when it comes to being a parent,” Terri accuses.

At first the ultra-respectful Tassie kids get rankled by Michelle’s new rules and refuse to participate. “Right now these kids are really making me miss my kids,” Michelle sobs in her bedroom. Eventually, however, the kids relent and follow Michelle’s first rule: to mess up the house and have fun. They write loving messages on the bathroom mirror in shaving cream for Tom, and then adorn the living room with streamers and balloons. The kids have fun, but Tom isn’t feeling the love. “If they wrote, ‘I love you’ in somebody’s blood that they just murdered, it doesn’t make the murder okay,” he says. Later, the Tassie family gathers together to try to get Tom to follow Michelle’s rules. But, once again, he refuses and Michelle storms out, crying, and stays in a motel room. The Tassie kids miss her terribly and she decides to come back for them the next day. Once back, she makes Tom listen to a lecture about how controlling your kids is bad (it’s just a video of Michelle telling Tom that controlling your kids is bad), and he decides not to make waves. Going along with the flow, Tom decides to relax and join the family in building a tent out of sheets in the living room and then eating a fast food dinner inside it.

At the Tyson house, Terri has set a timer on the family: Have the whole house cleaned up in 77 minutes. Anything left on the floor after 77 minutes must be thrown away. Autumn doesn’t care for that rule and says to Terri, “Bite me!” When Terri takes down Mia’s rude posters, Mia too gets huffy and drops a curse word. Terri’s rule about that: if you cuss, you must clean the potty with a toothbrush. But Mia won’t do that, either, so Terri responds by tossing every stitch of clothing out of Mia’s closet and onto the floor. Mia doesn’t plan on cleaning up that, either. Terri appeals to Todd once again for help and once again he won’t do it. “I’ve lived your boring lifestyle and it sucks and you suck,” he says. Defeated by the strong-headed girls, Terri decides to try to reach Autumn through calm, rational cleaning, and tries the same approach with Todd, who gets so touched by Terri’s thoughtfulness in setting up a shopping date at the pet shop with him and his son Michael, he has to leave the room in tears. Finally working together, Todd gathers the family together and gets them all to clean the house and makeover a salon in the basement for Michelle before she gets home.

After two weeks, the families reunite. Michelle tells Terri, “I don’t feel like your kids feel free to express anything.” “I never heard the f-word more in my entire life,” Terri counters. But Michelle can’t really get in a word edge-wise over Tom, who wants to argue every point that comes out of her mouth. Finally, Michelle admits that she could be a little firmer with the kids and could use more “me-time.”

Since the Swap, nothing has changed in the Tassie house. But in the Tyson house, Todd has been working less and hanging out with son Michael more. Michelle feels much more appreciated.

The three children are nine year old Sindo, seven year old Ashley, and six year old Mikey.  The children often overwhelm mom, leading her to cry, yell, and sometimes overreact.  The children respond with hostility and out of control behavior.

Seven year old Ashley has been known to throw temper tantrums in public places, which has made Michelle reluctant to go out with the children.  Even though Dad calls and emails when he can, Michelle often finds herself playing the role of both mother and father.  Supernanny airs on Wednesday, May 7 from 9 PM to 10 PM ET on ABC.

For Kristi, all she needs to know about showmanship can be learned from watching Joey Fatone. Being touted as the master of showmanship, Fatone always mesmerized audiences with his flamboyant style and contagious energy. The judges have been after Kristi this season about getting into character while performing, and Kristi believes that if she could channel Joey’s “flashy personality,” she’d have it made.

Marissa is struck by Mel B’s fierceness while on the stage. Mel B’s energy and dominance over the stage propelled her far in the competition (and was cited as the reason she landed the #2 spot on the judges’ Top Ten Favorite Routines list). Marissa admires Mel B’s precision and confidence and hopes she can capture some of it for herself.

Jason, of course, looks to another athlete for his inspiration. “Emmitt Smith made it cool to dance,” he says, adding that Emmitt was always smooth and always had style (hey, he had funk, too!). Jason wants to get himself a little of that style that took Emmitt so far in the competition.

Cristian likes Helio for his Latin connection, but also because Helio was always full of surprises on stage. But, Cristian admits, “I still have a lot of work to do.”

Watch the Dancing with the Stars semi-finals Monday, May 12th, to see if the stars capture those traits they so admire.

The talent tonight is nothing short of awesome, as we soon find out when Dancing pros past and present come out to do a little number to The Black Crowes’ Hard to Handle. They look good in sparkling gold and daring black (and yes, we miss you Maks!). But they’re hardly all the dancing talent we’re going to get a load of tonight.

Also dancing tonight are Apolo Ohno & Julianne Hough, a soft and sexy routine to the completely amazing vocals of Rascall Flatts (is it just me or did they sound go-ooo-od tonight?!) singing the song Everyday from their album Still Feels Good. Later, Rascall Flatts takes the stage again with their mega-hit Life is a Highway, along to an energetic and sparkly routine performed by Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

The Macy’s Stars of Dance routine this week was none other than Dancing alumnus, Mario Lopez, who performed a special number from the Broadway show, A Chorus Line.

And then there are the familiar faces in the audience. Lots of Dancing stars returned, including Stacy Keibler, Lisa Rinna, Jerry Springer, Vivica A. Fox, Joey Fatone, Kenny Mayne, Sabrina Bryan, Kelly Monaco, and Drew Lachey (Um… where is Cameron Mathison, people?!).

But soon the star-spotting must come to an end and we must get down to the business at hand–that is the business of elimination. The celebs come into tonight’s elimination in the following rank order:

5th place: Marissa & Tony. “It really felt like Broadway,” Marissa says of her performance last night.

4th place: Jason & Edyta. “We had fun on the floor,” Jason says.

3rd place: Mario & Karina. “It’s official,” Mario gloats. “I love ballroom dancing!”

2nd place: Kristi & Mark. “I’m glad it’s done,” Kristi says of last night’s performance.

1st place: Cristian & Cheryl. “You should’ve hurt yourself a long time ago,” Cheryl tells Cristian. “Kidding! Kidding!”

Tom lines up the celebs and announces that the first ones safe and going to next week’s semi-finals are… Marissa & Tony! Marissa cheers and jumps up and down. Next, Tom announces, are Kristi & Mark! The third safe couple… Cristian & Cheryl! That leaves Jason & Edyta and Mario & Karina in the bottom two. Somberly, Tom announces that Mario & Karina are the couple going home tonight.

“I’ve had a great time performing on the show,” Mario says. “Len, thank you for all your comments… Ultimately you made me a better ballroom dancer.” He gives a quick shout-out to the soldiers overseas as being true inspirations, and heads to the floor for his final dance.

Next week the competition heats up as our stars compete in the semi-finals. We’re only two weeks away from crowning a new Dancing winner and giving out the coveted Mirrorball Trophy!

As they walked out of the kitchen Christina looked at Louross and said, “Congratulations.” Louross states to the camera that this is “high school crap”, while Corey says that Christina will continue to be put on the chopping block. Shayna says that she does not feel as if Christina is condescending, while the other women say they do.

Christina comes up and says that she deserves to enjoy the evening and then in private states that if having book smarts scares the other women she doesn’t care. She said that she looks great in high heels, can read and book and can cook. That she is the complete package.

Ben and Bobby are talking about Matt and how he is lazy, and then state that they need to stick to their alliance. In another room Matt and Louross are talking about how Ben thinks he is the best looking guy there and claim that he hides behind Bobby.

The teams show up at a Farmers Market for their next challenge and Bobby states that while moral is low that they will NOT lose another challenge. The challenge is to create a meal made up of an appetizer and two main dishes that will please a girl at her Sweet 16 party, and the girl’s parents. Each team gets 25 minutes and $100 in the Farmers Market to buy the items they will need, and then 45 minutes back in the kitchen to prepare the food.

The boys can’t decide what they want to make. Louross is looking for deals, Matt suggests a Sushi Pizza, and Bobby is rolling his eyes begging Matt to stop talking. The girls are on a roll discussing food items that teenagers would love and Rosanne makes it a point that she has a teenage girl and knows that teenagers don’t like to try new and strange foods.

Both teams get out on time and back to Hell’s Kitchen to start preparing food. Ben is giving Matt orders and Matt is ready to walk out. He states that he has no confidence in anything that they are making and he is tired of wasting his breath to talk to them. In the red kitchen Corey is trying to take control and be bossy while Shayna stands there looking at her with a blank stare. Corey makes the comment that Shayna needs to pick up the pace or she could be going home.

When the 45 minutes is up the chefs present their food to Chef Ramsey. He asks them if they used their time wisely and if they thought about presentation and both teams answer yes. He points out that at 16 trends are important and if the presentation isn’t great the customers will walk away.

Chef Ramsey then asks if anyone has been to a Sweet 16 party recently to which Matt raises his hand. The Chef asks him if the party he went to had any influence on the menu that the blue team picked, to which Matt replies no, shocking the rest of the guys on the blue team. After Chef Ramsey confirms this he says that the guys amaze him. Ben remarks that everyone is wondering what Matt is talking about.

Chef Ramsey announces that the birthday girl Melissa and her mother are going to help him choose. First up is the appetizers. The girls present a Super Sweet 16 Scampi and the boys offer up their stuffed chicken wings. The red team is shocked when Melissa says that she has never tasted shrimp before and then says that the dish is tart and crunchy. She remarks however that she loves the flowers on the plate with the wings and chooses the wings “hands down”.

For the first main course meal the girls present a Caribbean Halibut with mango salsa and the boys do a Sweet Potato Mash with Sauteed Asparagus and Shrimp. Melissa says that the fish is dry and the rice is undercooked and her mother says that if it was cooked right it would be good and states that the salsa is good. Melissa has decided that she does not like shrimp after the red teams appetizer and announces that she also doesn’t like asparagus, leading her to quickly pick the red team’s dish.

The last main dishes were specially made by Corey and Petrozza. Corey presented a grilled flank steak with homemade french fries and pomegranate sauce, while Petrozza did a Sassy Surf and Turf that included Filet Mignon. Melissa wasn’t sure about the red items on the flank steak, saying that it looked like jewelry, but she didn’t like the fat on the filet. She was close to picking the red team’s item when her mother told her to think about all taste pallets and she changed her mind picking the men’s dish. The men finally won and were ecstatic.

For their win the guys got to be teenagers again while riding go-carts and pigging out on fancy desserts. The girls got to decorate the restaurant for the party. They were doing okay until the party planner walked in who was driving them all insane, and then the mother walked in complaining about the plates not being silver and there not being napkin rings. Shayna saved the day by suggesting a fancy way to place the napkins, which the mother loved, and Corey griped about.

That night at the house Corey and Louross seem to be hitting it off. They exchange the big “L” word and Corey jumps in the hot tub. Out of his ear shot Corey states that Louross is an easy target and that she will do anything to win the game.

The next morning while both teams were preparing for the meals Shayna was slow and go on the nerves of her teammates because it took her all morning to make the salsa. The kitchen opens and Chef Ramsey reminds the teams that it is still his standards that need to be met while the guests walk in.

The blue team gets the appetizers out first while Christina forgets the mushrooms in the birthday girl’s Risotto, as well as some spices. Once all the appetizers are out and the teams start on the main courses, Rosann under cooks the birthday girl’s steak while Matt serves first dry and then frozen fish to the mother. Bobby pushes Matt off of his station and takes over, not letting Matt back in. Later when Chef Ramsey realizes this he tells Matt that he needs to push back and quit hiding. That there is a difference in teamwork and taking over.

At the end of the night Chef Ramsey tells Melissa that there is one last surprise for her and sends her outside. He has arranged a private concert for her by her favorite band, The Pink Spiders.

While the guests party outside, inside Chef Ramsey is giving his review. He says that every 16 year old girl at the party filled out a comment card and that 98% of the girls who the blue team served said that they would come back. He then told the women that 99% of their customers said they would come back. He tells them that he can not decide a winning team based on one point. At this time Matt interrupts and thanks Chef Ramsey, to which the chef responds to not thank him. He then sends the teams upstairs to pick one person from each team who might go home.

Walking up the stairs Matt says he is going to pack and Bobby laughs. Matt tells him he doesn’t find it funny and proceeds to pack. The girls discuss who to nominate and Shayna wants to nominate Rosann because of her inability to cook the steak and Rosann wants to nominate Shayna because she is slow. The girls seem to settle on Shayna but Christina has her doubts.

When the guys tell Chef Ramsey that they are nominating Matt the chef says that it is appropriate since he served dry fish to the mother and that the only thing worse is serving raw meat to Melissa. Chef Ramsey is fully expecting to have Rosann be nominated and is shocked when Christina announces that it is Shayna. He asks Christina what her personal opinion is and she admits that it is Rosann. Chef Ramsey has Matt, Shayna and Rosann stand in front of him.

Both women tell him that they are there for their kids. Chef Ramsey asks Matt if he has peaked. Matt says no, but that he was pushed and bullied off of his station by Bobby. Chef Ramsey says that Matt allowed himself to be pushed off and that he hides behind Bobby. Matt says that it is really Ben who hides behind Bobby and that he wouldn’t let him get back on the fish. Chef Ramsey says that Matt has 250 pounds on him and that Louross has bigger balls, shocking Louross. Matt says that no one listens to him and that he has no voice. He then announces that he wants to work with the girls, shocking everyone in the room but him.

Chef Ramsey sends Matt back to the blue team and then sends Shayna home. He says that she has a big heart but he always felt like a part of it was really with her new baby. He then tells Matt that the next day he will be cooking with the ladies on the red team which fires them up as they do not need or want Matt around.

10th: Carrie Ann introduces this dance as an example of how anyone can succeed if they just put their minds to it. Kelly Monaco, who went from one of the lowest-scoring dancers to the winner of season one takes the #10 spot with her Bruno-dubbed “Latin-American Potpourri,” performed in season one, week six with partner Alex Mazo.

9th: From season five, as an example of a true talent being voted off way too early, the judges choose Sabrina Bryan & Mark Ballas’ Paso Doble, performed during week four.

8th: Emmitt Smith wowed the judges and audience with his charisma and charm. For the #8 spot on the judges’ list of faves is Emmitt & Cheryl’s leopard-printed, golden-shoed, funky Cha Cha Cha to Sly and the Family Stone from season three, week nine.

7th: He was the winner for a reason, and he showed it off with a sparkly Quickstep in season four, week nine. Apolo Anton Ohno and his partner Julianne Hough took 7th place on the list for the Quickstep that had Len wondering if Apolo had Restless Leg Syndrome.

6th: Bruno calls him “The Ultimate Showman,” and chose his back-bending, high-kicking Jive to illustrate the point. Joey Fatone showed off his one-arm handstand skills in this dance from season four, week seven.

5th: Len remembers Helio as “The Banana Man,” in reference to his season five, week eight yellow zoot-suited Quickstep with partner Julianne Hough. This is the dance that ended with a big smacker-oo on Julianne’s lips that knocked her to the floor.

4th: Save a Horse, ride Drew Lachey… all the way to a perfect 30. Carrie Ann introduces Drew & Cheryl’s season two, week eight Freestyle routine, which she calls “the iconic dance routine of the series.”

3rd: Fans will remember season two, week eight, when Bruno proudly declared a certain dancer a “Weapon of Mass Seduction.” With her long, long legs and natural aptitude for dance, Stacy Keibler, with partner Tony Dovolani, took the third spot tonight with their “Sexiest Samba Ever!”

2nd: Who could forget Mel B’s Paso Doble dominatrix outfit? Not the judges, who say Mel “rocked the dance floor like no other” during season five, week seven. Mel’s & Maks’ Paso Doble, the one that left Len speechless during critique, took the number two spot on the faves list.

1st: Len introduces the #1 dance tonight, pointing out how difficult it is to choose just one “best.” But sometimes, Len says, everything just comes together perfectly—the music, the costume, the dance. In that light, the judges have chosen, as their #1 all-time favorite dance of the Dancing with the Stars series… Mario Lopez & Karina Smirnoff, in season three, week nine, dancing the Tango. Congratulations, Mario & Karina!

For her first song, Syesha Mercado sang “Proud Mary.”  Randy Jackson said, “This is the third week in a row that Syesha has shown up, and she’s in the zone.”  Paula Abdul said, “You look like a star.”  Simon Cowell said, “For me, I thought it was just a bad, shrieky version, a bad impersonation of Tina Turner.”

For his first song, Jason Castro sang “I Shot The Sheriff.”  Randy Jackson said, “For me, that was a really karaoke Bob Marley.”  Paula Abdul said, “I wasn’t crazy about the performance or the song actually.”  Simon Cowell said, “That was utterly atrocious.”

For his first song, David Archuleta sang “Stand By Me.”  Randy Jackson said, “At least there’s one guy, every time he hits the stage, he’s trying to win the whole thing.”  Paula Abdul said, “We all forget that you are way beyond your years.”  Simon Cowell said, “The truth is that you could have whistled a song, and it would have sounded better than the last song.”

For his second song, David Cook sang “Teenage Wasteland.”  Randy Jackson said, “That’s more like the David Cook that I’ve grown to love, right there.”  Paula Abdul said, “I just want more.”  Simon Cowell said, “Welcome back, David Cook.”

For her second song, Syesha Mercado sang “A Change Is Going To Come.”  Randy Jackson said, “The first song I loved.  This one I did not love as much.”  Paula Abdul said, “You’ve turned this into a superstar performance for me.”  Simon Cowell said, “I have to be fair, and I’m going to agree with Paula.”

For his second song, Jason Castro sang “Mr. Tambourine Man.”  Randy Jackson said, “Jason’s not in the zone tonight.”  Paula Abdul said, “Obviously, it didn’t blow us away, but you blow me away.”  Simon Cowell said, “Jason, I’d pack your suitcase.”

For his second song, David Archuleta sang “Love Me Tender.”  Randy Jackson said, “Another great performance for you.”  Paula Abdul said, “That was one of my favorite performances from you.”  Simon Cowell said, “You didn’t beat the competition tonight.  You crushed the competition.”

While Jason Castro could have had a shot with a couple spectacular performances, he stumbled on both of his songs.  While his second song was better, he unfortunately forgot a couple of the lyrics of the song.  Jason Castro is very likable and has a huge fan base, but it likely won’t be enough to save him this week.  Then again, as Ryan Seacrest reminded viewers, “Remember this is the week where we lost Tamyra Gray and Daughtry because perhaps some people thought they were safe.”

Reality Binge is Fox Reality’s new show, set to premiere this summer, and takes a look at the reality TV world. Where Remix was a little more on the serious side, with recaps and reality-star interviews, Binge will offer what Remix couldn’t–a lighthearted approach to our favorite alternative television genre.

Hosted by comedian Eric Toms, Binge will be a combination of video clips, comedy sketches, and other off-beat looks at reality TV. Sounds to me like Binge plans to take all the silly, crazy, and dumbfounding moments of reality TV that we’re all talking about and make fun of them (Paula Abdul, beware!).

Reality Binge is set to premiere Thursday, July 10th at 7:00 PM (ET) on the Fox Reality Channel.

Gladiators will be introducing fans to three new gladiators, ready to take on contestants brave enough to face them. The new gladiators are: “Rocket,” otherwise known as Evan Dollard, winner of season one; “Jet,” otherwise known as Monica Carlson, season one’s female winner; and “Phoenix,” an all-new gladiator, both beautiful and tough.

American Gladiators has also ramped up some of the existing events by adding a 200,000-gallon pool, a 50-foot wall, and a tougher Eliminator, and has created several new games for contenders to take on, including Vertigo and Rocketball.

In Rocketball, contenders have only one minute to push a button as many times as they can and launch themselves high into the air, where they’ll try to make baskets against the hearty defense of the gladiators.

In Vertigo, contenders take on the gladiators in a foot race. The hitch is, the race will take place on rail-thin “sway” poles over 30 feet in the air.

Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali will be back to host the second season of American Gladiators. Says Hulk, “Season two of American Gladiators is going to be bigger and badder than before! We have new gladiators, new events and a new gladiator arena. All those gladiator maniacs out there are going to be blown away.”

Catch the season premiere of American Gladiators on Monday, May 12th at 8:00 PM (ET) on NBC.

Chris comes out, greets the women and starts asking questions. First he asks Amanda about being the first one out of the limo and what she thought of Matt. She says that she was really worried about tripping but that it turned out well. Marshana then states that she doesn’t have a “type” but that she was hoping to find someone taller than her who was athletically in shape. She states that she got more than she expected and was pleased.

Chris then brings up Stacey’s first impression with Matt by stuffing a pair of her panties in Matt’s jacket while she was drunk and yelling at all the other women. After watching the video Stacey claims that she is embarrassed and that she isn’t really like that. Then, Marshana made it clear that Stacey was making comments that was making everyone uncomfortable like saying she was going to kill all of them and their families.

After talking about the panties Chris moves on to talking about the competitiveness in the house. The clips shown include Marshana, Ashlee and Robin. Chris invites Robin to take a seat and asks her some tough questions.

Chris: “You seem to have the most difficult time with the ladies, why?”

Robin: “I have been hurt by women, a lot more than men, so I put myself in a super competitive mode, I was scared.”

Chris: “So it was a defense mechanism to go in and break up their time?”

Robin: “I wanted to be with Matt.”

Chris: “You were there for a relationship, not to make friends.”

Robin: “Yeah, that is what this game is about. It was the loneliest experience in my life, I have never been truly hated before.”

Then some of the other ladies piped in.

Marshana: “We definitely had our run ins because Robin was abrasive and intentionally mean to myself and others.”

Amanda: “People weren’t jealous of her time with Matt. None of us were convinced she was there for Matt, but rather that she was there to “win” and we got mad when she got time with him when she wasn’t there for the right reasons.”

Robin: “I was there to be loved, I was there for the right intentions.”

Then Chris moves on to the “big fight” of the season and invites Marshana, who was at the center of it all, to sit with him and answer some questions.

Chris: “There always seemed to be controversy surrounding you, you always seemed to be in the middle of all the drama.” (We got to watch clips of the drama surrounding Marshana.)

Marshana: “I felt that Robin was being extremely condescending to me and I won’t stand for that. My issue with Chelsea was that she had not taken the opportunity to get to know me but thought she could make statements on my character.”

Chris: “Robin did you think you were being condescending?”

Robin: “No, absolutely not.”

Marshana: “I really feel that Robin had an attitude of superiority, the reason I got upset on the 2-on-1 date is because Robin accused me of playing the victim, I didn’t like being in that position.

Erin S. then comments that Marshana has a very strong personality and that she created a lot of drama. Marshana interrupts and says she can handle it, to which Robin says she is not handling it. Marshana gets upset and says, “Robin you are dismissed”. Robin doesn’t stop however and says that Marshana is giving her too much credit.

Chris: “Everyone was rooting for you to go home, how sweet of a reward was it when you walked back in?”

Marshana: “It felt so nice, but I knew I was going to have a big bulls-eye on my head. I don’t feel like I was mean or did anything intentionally to anyone, but if I rubbed someone the wrong way there is nothing I can do about that. I am going to love me for who I am and I can accept my shortcomings.”

Next Chris calls Amanda up to talk with him as they go over her relationship with Matt.

Chris: “You had an immediate connection with Matt and everyone was blown away when you did not get a rose, I think you were surprised too” (clips of Amanda and Matt in the series)

Chris: “How tough is that to watch?”

Amanda: “It was really tough, I thought watching the show I would get answers but I am more confused now.”

Chris: “You opened up in Barbados…”

Amanda: “I wanted Matt to know more about me. I went into the rose ceremony confident. I thought we made a connection. I thought we were going to get engaged. He has all the qualities I am looking for.”

Chris: “You still seem hurt.”

Amanda: “I think my biggest questions is why he had no concerns. He had concerns with Chelsea and Shayne but not with me. If I had everything he was looking for I would have kept me!”

Chris: “You stood up to him, you were angry.”

Amanda: “He wasn’t giving me any straight answers.”

Chris: “How will this affect you in future relationships?”

Amanda: ” I learned that you need to open up and let people know that you like them.”

Finally Matt comes out, with a newly shaved head, and answers questions from Chris and the women. He says that he heard everything they had said and that it was very fair. He tells Amanda that with them it was always the “like” word and not the “love” word like it was with Chelsea and Shayne. She tells him that she still doesn’t get it and he apologizes. Says that he honestly just felt like he had a better chance at happiness with Shayne or Chelsea.

At the very end Stacey gives Matt a gift, a pair of pink panties with multicolored stripes on them. Chris holds them up and exclaims, “I don’t care what country you are from, that is HOT!”

Stay tuned next week for the season finale of The Bachelor where we get to find out who Matt finally decided to fall in love with and who he gave that final rose too.
