The Real Housewives of Miami Recap: Mamma Mia!

The Real Housewives of Miami, Episode 8: "Mama Elsa Comes Home"


It's been 8 episodes and the star of the show has finally arrived.  Mama Elsa is finally out of the hospital, back at home and back in front of the cameras.  We all know that part of the reason that Marysol is still on the show and that the show is still on is because of Mama Elsa.  She may have a face that only Marysol could love and that scares small children, but she is a hoot.  She is full of life and some of the best moments of the show have been Elsa keeping with ladies half her age.  Her appearance on this episode made me smile, but it also made me a little sad.  Oh yeah, other stuff happened too.  Hit the jump to find out more.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Carlton is Not Amused

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Episode 2: "Faint Chance"


It can't be easy being the new Housewife on the block.  You are thrown in with these women who are years deep in ridiculous feuds.  You have to organize lunches or be forced to sit through lunches organized for the sole purpose of trying to get  you on someone's side who  you have maybe met once. This is what Carlton and Joyce were subjected to on this episode.  One of them took to it like a beauty queen to a pageant.  The other one?  Not so much.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Kandi Mama Drama

The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Episode 2: "Girl Code Breakers"


I feel like I'm experiencing a little deja vu here, y'all.  Hasn't Kandi been in this situation with Mama Joyce before?  I'm pretty sure they have danced this dance before with Kandi's first fiance, A.J. (may he rest in peace).  Kandi's hair may be longer and Mama Joyce's wig may be (a little) better, but the accusations of gold digging and Kandi's amazing facial expressions remain the same.  So, what went down with the ladies in this episode?  Hit the jump to find out.

Glee Recap: Say Good-bye

Glee, Episode 3: "The Quarterback"



I have sat down to write this a thousand times.  I have sat and stared at the blank page over and over and I've come up empty.  What is there to say?  What is there to say about an actor on a television show that impacted you so much, that when you found out about his death, you shed a couple of tears.  I had no idea how invested I was, how much the show had affected me, until this moment.  It was odd.  I really enjoy Glee.  I make fun of it, because sometimes it is beyond ridiculous and sometimes they just drop plot threads with no mention of them every again no matter how major or minor they may be.  The show handles heavy subjects and handles some of them well (hello, bullying) and some, not so well (Marley's eating disorder).  Even when faced with absurd amounts of ridiculata, the cast found ways to shine, none moreso than affable, everyman Finn Hudson as portrayed by Cory Monteith.  Finn was the emotional center of the show and so intertwined in it's core that it'll be hard to watch the last two seasons without him.  I'm stalling.  OK.  Deep breath.  Let's dive in and see how the show handled, arguably, it's biggest episode ever.

The Voice Recap: Here Come the Top 10

The Voice, Episode 15: "The Top 10 Revealed"


It's time to get down and dirty, y'all.  These are going to be some hard cuts.  These contestants rock.  Even the worst of them (ahem, Josh) are better than anyone on say The X-Factor.  This season also introduces a new way to save your favorite contestant.  America was able to tweet the name of the contestant they wanted to save.  So, who was the recepient of this weeks coveted America's Save?

Bottom 3

Josh Logan
Kat Robichaud

Ok, hot pants.  You have one more week to wow me.  I'm not sure it'll happen.  So, did the right contestant get saved?  Sound off.

The Voice Recap: Too Close to Call?

The Voice, Episode 14: "Top 12 Perform"


I don't know, guys.  I know that in the last recap, I declared that Team Adam was the team to beat.  I may have been wrong.  I mean, my heart still belongs to Team Adam, but there are contestants on each coaches team that could take this whole thing.  If they keep it up with the phenomenal vocals and the surprising song choices, this will keep being the most entertaining season of the show yet.  After the jump, we'll take a look at how the top 12 fared.
