Trading Spaces - effective this weekend, Paige is back. Not only Paige, but Doug, Edward and Hildy are back as well. Yay Doug!

Feb 7 - Survivor. I haven't done any research yet on who's going to be on etc, watch for a separate spoiler thread when I have time.

Feb 12 - Big Brother 9. Speculation that the theme is "Dirty Little Secrets", where each houseguest has something to hide. Should be on Tuesdays at 9, Weds/Sun at 8.

Feb 18 - Girlicious (Pussycat Dolls show.)

Feb 20 - America's Next Top Model. Cast list is out. Marvita from last season's tryouts is on. There's a girl who looks a lot like Jaslene and another Eastern European/Russian girl. Twiggy is gone, Paulina (Mrs Ric Ocasek) is in.

March 19 - Top Chef.

April 1 - [censored]'s Kitchen.

June - Big Brother 10, rumored to be "celebrity" edition, Romber (one or both) to participate.

Shear Genius and Top Design are still casting.

LOL. April 1, H3ll's Kitchen, does that help?

isn't the new survivor going to have fans and faves? i think i saw an advertisement for that.

That's what the ads are showing - some of the 'faves' - Johnny Fairplay, Yau-man.

and James, the grave digger, too.

But no Steph or Bobby John, no Ruppert, and no Richard (he's in the big house doing time.)

Survivor already?!?!

It seems like the other one just ended...

Writers' strike seems to have made Reality Shows a hot commodity right now.

or the only commodity...

here comes the NHL...

Mmmmm Parvati.....

But no Romber

are y'all speaking in code, do I have to pull out the urban dict?

There's another coming called Baby Borrowers where teen couples who thought they would be good parents are given babies to raise. All these rejected reality shows coming out due to the writer's strike!

Not a huge Parvati fan. She traded - or attempted to trade - on her looks, rather than her brains. I don't respect that kind of play. Jenna M at least had a brain in addition to being willing to use her looks.

DEFINITELY not a Romber fan - I like HIM all right, he is amusing, but she's a complete waste of space whose only claim to fame is she rode enough coattails and found a sugar daddy to push her to the top.

Surprisingly, I actually don't mind Johnny Fairplay. I know, I know. But I watched Celebrity Bullriding (stop laughing.) and really got to see a more human side of him. He was really scared of those bulls.

I *adored* Ozzy so am glad to see him back. And I'd like to see if Amanda took the jury comments to heart and will be playing a more visible game this time. Yau was nice but that's not how you win Survivor (at least, not by being nice alone. There's got to be some game play going on too. See: Earl.)

I can't even remember who Eliza is. So she must not be that big a splash. Or Ami. I'm sure I'll remember once I pull up their data.

James is cute and all but I really don't think you could say he was a good player. I mean really, going out with BOTH the idols in your bag?

Cirie is entertaining, I'd like to see her team up with someone and really work this game. And I liked Jonathan, he's another one I'd like to see play a smarter game this time around.

I really like YauMan and would love to see him win it all, but I don't think he'll be able to fool anyone with the "old guy" card this time around.

tell me about it Sing, I am having trouble fooling anyone with the "old guy" card too

That's because you're only 'old' in body PR, not in spirit - as we can all attest to here!

It's a shame they don't bring back anyone from the earlier shows, but I guess they got their second chance when they did Survivor All Stars. It will be interesting to see how the Fans stack up against the Faves.
