Wednesday Night TV Roundup

OK!'s Joyce Eng and Derek Ivie break down Wednesday night TV!

Gossip Girl: "Raise your hand if you missed Chuck! Granted he

wouldn't really have fit in with any of the storylines, but I suppose I didn't

realize how much I adore him until he was MIA. I am thankful that he will

return next week. Speaking of thanks, Thanksgiving took place in GG world and

we get a double dose of them with flashbacks of Turkey Day yesteryear

juxtaposing that of the present. In 2006, Dan saves alkie Serena from becoming

cab roadkill, who spends the day sobering up at the Waldorfs, where she, Nate

and Blair engage in a showerfest (clothed). This year though, she gets

disinvited after calling Blair out on Chuck and suggesting she did it for

revenge. Stranded for Thanksgiving dinner, the van der Woodsens stroll Chinatown

(why wasn't I there that day?!) for duck because Chinese food makes for great

turkey substitue and besides, as Lily puts it, "Jews have been doing it on

Christmas since forever." Dan invites the trio for dinner at his place,

unbeknownst of the torrid past between his dad and Lily. After incessant

prodding from Dan, Lily relinquishes and goes to dinner, excited to see Rufus,

but that bubble was burst once she sees Allison. They try to keep the triangle

a secret until Lily's ranch story outted them -- she had a horse named Rosewood,

which was a tune Rufus claimed to have written for Allison, who completely

loses it and leaves. She comes back in the middle of R & L's convo about

their lusty dinner party kiss and presents her hubby with an ultimatum -- me or

her. Woman needs to calm her ass down. Wasn't she upstate having wild sex with

their neighbor not even a month ago? Hypocrite. Dan, Jenny and Eric all ponder

the possibility of being related when Serena re-enters with Blair, who spots

Cedric! Yes! What an adorable Cabbage Patch Kid! S had to fetch B after her

purge relapse, brought on by her cold-hearted bitch of a mother who told her

estranged and gay hubby not to return to spend Thanksgiving with his daughter.

In the end though, mommy and daughter have a heart-to-heart and Eleanor admits

they're getting a divorce. As for Nate, boy finally comes into his own and

takes matters into his hands after daddy ODs, landing in the hospital, and his ass-tastic mom is still

delusional about the whole situation. Someone please smack her." -- Joyce

America's

Next Top Model: "So the day has finally come...I had been dreading it since the

beginning. We all knew it was going to happen, but we didn't know when.

Heather, I am holding back tears, is... I can't so this... she has... vanished

from the end picture! TYRA GAVE HER THE BOOT! Although let's be real, she

deserved it.  The girl can't speak without zoning out into another

dimension. When we first join the girls they are laying around yelling at

Heather to not worry so much. Jennah is worried that she will never be bubbly

like Saleisha 'cause that ain't the type of girl she be! They end up having the

go-see challenge.  Saleisha kisses ass the whole time, Jennah gives

everyone attitude, Chantal just stares drooling as usual, Bianca smiles and

does the pouty face a lot, and Heather wanders around China looking confused

and knocks bikes over.  Saleisha and Bianca are the only two who make it

back to the agency on time.  Later on Bianca wins and sees her face on a

floating billboard for the 2008 Olympics.  It was pretty sweet.  The

photo shoot is exactly the same as the Bollywood shoot in Cycle 5.  The

girls have to stand out in a crowd and work it! Nigel is their photographer and

Jennah lays the sarcasm on thick.  I thought we were going to have a

repeat of the Caridee stick incident at the bull shoot.  At judging the

judges think that both Heather and Jennah lack in the personality department

and Heather goes home... now who is going to be the Cover Girl of the Week?

 Probably Bianca... She might win! Oh and the girls are going to Beijing

next week. Peace out Shanghai!" -- Derek

What did you think of last night's lineup?
