Big Brother Recap: Helen or Spencer Evicted Tomorrow; Elissa Vetoes Herself Out (8/25/13)
Spencer or most probably, Helen, leaves the Big Brother House tomorrow. Elissa had won Power of Veto in the OTEV Competition and vetoed herself out. HoH Aaryn had considered nominating Amanda after their argument, but was scared of retribution. Helen had approached Aaryn for an alliance with GinaMarie and Elissa. Last Sunday, Luxury Realtor Amanda convinced 4-time HoH(Head of Household)/Texas State Student Aaryn to put up Political Consultant Helen and Nutritionist and Yoga Instructor Elissa for nomination.

America’s Got Talent Recap: Tough Night for D’Angelo & Ruby; Duo Resonance is Heidi Klum’s Wildcard
The final four semi-finals spots are up for grabs in America’s Got Talent so one can understand the anxiety transpiring among the 12 acts’ fans. As mentioned in yesterday’s performance recap, the most entertaining routines came courtesy of Catapult Entertainment (shadow dance group), D’Angelo & Amanda (ballroom dancers) and Duo Resonance (gymnasts/acrobats). Should these three acts be shoo-ins, the fourth spot (based on the judges’ feedback), is a toss between comic John Wing and singer Dave Fenley. However, there’s a possibility of another round of surprise and I’m betting on either acrobat Sam Johnson or inventor Sprice to stir up...

MasterChef Recap: Bri’s Out Again, Asks Krissi to Be Nice
MasterChef’s subtitle this season ought to be “Everybody Hates Krissi” and the reason is very obvious: she’s not the nicest person to work with even if she cooks above par. Nope, she’s not going home even if Natasha prayed hard but Krissi proves that she’s outlasting favorites one step at a time, Bri included. Bri goes home again after serving a disappointing dish of calamari and marinara sauce for so many reasons. There’s her undercooked squid (which she refused to taste), then the excessively battered calamari (which had a burnt smell) and the acidic sauce that features lemon juice. Bri...

America’s Got Talent Recap: Forte, Taylor Williamson are All About Talent & Charisma
America’s Got Talent marks its first semi-finals week this season with a mix of good, sad and plain brazenness.
