Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Wednesday, September 15, 2010

September 15, 2010 by  

There’s money to be had tonight. Not by watching…sorry. But if you can cook really well or manage to live all summer in a house that broadcasts your every move, then you’ve got a shot at walking away a little richer.  Just as the daddy of all reality shows – SURVIVOR – kicks off a new season tonight, many of our favorite summer reality shows are awarding the big prizes and shutting it down.

Don’t worry. If you’re not a fan of reality TV, there is plenty for you to watch tonight.  Here are a few highlights and suggestions…

Survivor: Nicaragua | 8pm on CBS | Season Premiere
“Young at Heart”
The castaways learn they are being divided into tribes based on their ages; one castaway reveals a secret that could affect the whole tribe going into the first challenge.

Big Brother | 9pm on CBS | Season Finale

One of the final three houseguests — Enzo, Hayden, Lane — will be crowned the Big Brother champion tonight and awarded the $500,000 grand prize. But first Hayden and Lane will square off to determine which one will become the season’s final Head of Household.

“Diane von Furstenberg”
The models receive a visit from actress Demi Lovato and discuss teen bullying; fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg serves as a guest judge.

A legal drama about Justice Cyrus Garza (Jimmy Smits), who quits his Supreme Court post and returns to private practice, crisscrossing the country with his legal team to handle controversial cases.

    Tough night…

    I’ll be watching ‘Big Brother’ live (so I’m not spoiled…and so I can post the winner when he is revealed.). Survivor and Top Chef are priorities for tonight. Terriers and Hellcats might be DVRd until I get a chance to watch them. And yes, I’m going to give Hellcats one last shot. I hate to judge a show on one episode only.

    I’ll be watching Survivor and Big Brother(even though this season is awful) and DVR’ing Top Chef, Outlaw, and Hellcats. I’m giving Hellcats one more chance. I wasn’t impressed with the pilot.

    I’ll be watching Terriers and Hellcats. the pilot of Hellcats didn’t blow me away, but I’ll give it a shot. I also really enjoyed Terriers, so I’ll keep watching.
