Reality TV Real quick
There's such a barrage of reality shows swallowing up our television time, it's hard to keep track of who's schmoozing whom and who's been doing the backstabbing. Here's the cooler talk about last week's episodes of some of your favorite reality fare, written by The Salt Lake Tribune's resident unscripted-TV buffs. (Warning: Spoilers ahead.
If you didn't watch last week, read at your own risk.) Sunday, 7 p.m.
, KUTV Ch. 2 Models Tyler and James, the rehab boys, left, won the 1 million prize by hitting the mat first in New York, after a leg that took the three final teams from Barcelona's Sagrada Familia cathedral through France - where they tailored a jacket and took a skydive onto Normandy Beach - to a mad dash through New York City. Airport karma ran out for Alabama moms Lyn and Karlyn, when they couldn't get on a packed Paris-to-JFK flight and were knocked out of contention.
Kimberly opted to take the tandem skydive, which bummed out boyfriend Rob - who couldn't stop complaining, "I'm really, really jealous. That was the one thing that I wanted to do."
used map smarts to rise to the final three.
A little more wheedling at Charles de Gaulle Airport, and it could have been a quite different ending. Thursday, 7 p.m.
, KUTV Ch. 2 The former Aitus continued to pick off former Raros as they chose Parvati for the walk of shame at the end of tribal council. Now the show goes to a grand finale with five contestants remaining, including Adam, who's bound to get booted if he doesn't win immunity.
The two-hour finish, followed by a one-hour Q A, is tonight at 7. Why is CBS going into a finale with a whopping five contestants still standing? Rumor is there will be two tribal councils and an unprecedented three finalists instead of two for the million dollars.
Parvati, right, in a desperate last-ditch effort to gain favor, was inches away from whoring herself out by flirting with a naked Ozzy in the hot tub during the reward. Clearly, Adam has the red target on his back unless he wins immunity. Meanwhile, Yul is guaranteed a spot in the final three with an immunity idol in his pocket waiting to be used.
Stay tuned tonight. Contributors: Sean P. Means, Anna Cekola and Vince Horiuchi Contributors: Sean P.
