Whoa, ‘Brother’: America’s Vote Could Be Key
Another key player left the "Big Brother" house Thursday night, as big bad Russell got the boot by a unanimous 3-0 vote (the first unanimous vote of the season). As always, TV MoJoe talked to "Brother" exec producer Allison Grodner right after tonight’s episode to get her thoughts on this week’s goings-on: …

‘Big Bro’ Drama: ‘I Will Stab You in the Neck’
The drama continues in the "Big Brother" house. This season has already seen one player’s expulsion and some of the biggest fights ever in the show’s nine-year history.

Shaq No Match for the ‘Bro’ Code
ABC’s new Shaquille O’Neal reality show got off to an OK start Tuesday, but the big guy proved powerless to stop the ratings juggernaut that is "Big Brother." "Brother," which began the season strong and has only picked up Nielsen steam as the summer’s continued, drew 8.08 million viewers and a 2.9 rating/8 share…

Whoa, ‘Brother’: Coup d’Awesome!
The sounds of the “Hallelujah” chorus were ringing in the ears of "Big Brother" fans everywhere tonight. No, it wasn’t because the Chenbot unveiled a bouncy new summer ‘do tonight.

An Open Letter to ‘SYTYCDance’
I will be traveling “internationally” next week (OK, it’s just to Canada) and won’t be able to share my thoughts with you. You’re on your own for the “Flipping Out” premiere, but I’ll return just in time to dish about the long-awaited return of “Project Runway.” Thank goodness I was still in town to…

2 More Dance Out of Our Lives
It took me almost a full week, but I’m finally able to sleep through the night without terrifying images of last week’s “So You Think You Can Dance” zombie numbers flashing through my mind. (To be fair, though, I’ve been using my David Archuleta night light.) If I can survive that, I can survive anything,…

A Teddy Bear on His Quest for, Um, ‘Curvy’ Love
Feeling a bit queasy from this roller-coaster called love? Daisy choosing bad boy London and the subsequent unabashed tonsil hockey (in front of runner-up, Flex) was enough to incite vomiting without even a nibble of carnival food. (Yes, he was the one who passed out on the floor in the first episode of “Daisy of…

A Pair of ‘Dance’ Losers — and Then There Was Katie Holmes
Last night’s 100th episode of “So You Think You Can Dance” left me with a lot of unanswered questions. At the top of the list: Where can I get a sequined black and gold tiger dress like Cat Deeley’s? (Go RHS Golden Tigers!) Oh, and I had a few thoughts about the eliminations as well.…

Sorry’s the Hardest Word for ‘Big Brother’ Contestant
What’s more awkward than “Dating in the Dark” or Paula drumming her fingertips in wait of a deal better than Seacrest’s? (No, not “Dance Your Ass Off.” Pole dancing was last week.) How about conducting a professional interview with someone who called you a “ho” on national televison? This week’s Awkward Award (and believe me,…

‘Big Brother 11’: Just Like HIgh School, Dude
“BIG BROTHER 11” Face it. All reality shows, whether they are competition based or not, boil down to cliques. Let’s see, there’s the Blondetourage from “Rock of Love,” the alliances on “Survivor” and, of course, the assigned labels on (best show ever!) “High School Reunion”: the Nerd, the Outcast … the Wannabe Reality Star. “Big…
