THE JUDGES STEAL

Monday night is about to turn into fight night with the highly anticipated return of Season 4 of NBC's The Voice with new coaches Usher and Shakira replacing the chairs left by Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera. It's about to face strong competitor Dancing With The Stars and cable favorite RuPaul's Drag Race in primetime's reality competition ring to start the work week off. 

AMERICAN IDOL, TOP 9 ELIMINATION RESULTS

Tonight’s results show opens up with a “Godfather like”, scene where Jimmy Iovine threatens the audio engineer’s job when he can’t hear Janelle Arthur singing in the studio. Making a point, Jimmy tells the engineer that he has fired over 100 assistants over a three year period. Wow!!! The segment ends with Jimmy shouting out to the producers “Put that on your f&%$ing show”. Very funny!!! Let’s get to the results, last night’s performance show was another strong night for the women.

LONGMIRE RETURNS: GETTING TO KNOW BAILEY CHASE, ACTOR Q & A

Even good men are tempted by darkness. No one knows that better than deputy sheriff Branch Connally, one of the major antagonists on A&E’s original series Longmire. Since audiences first met the young deputy with dreams of becoming sheriff it was clear that he would do anything to achieve that dream. Connally is played expertly by actor Bailey Chase.

AMERICAN IDOL TOP NINE TAKE ON THE BEATLES

Curtis Finch Jr. was eliminated last week and there are now 9 contestants left. This week the American Idol contestants will be singing the songs of the Beatles. It is hard to imagine, but a common theme from the contestant’s last night was that they had never heard the song that they chose to sing. Wow, that is hard to believe, either I am really old or these kids are really young. I guess it is a combination of both. Here is a recap of tonight’s performances in the order of their appearance.

DWTS RETURNS FOR ITS SIXTEENTH SEASON

It's the inaugural night of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, so I put on my designer pajamas (t-shirt without holes!) to get fancy for the occasion! A new season brings new changes in the show. Contemporary has now been added as a style of dance, Maks the resident ballroom bad boy is noticeably missing from the line up, and each contestant's personal twitter handler is placed on screen before their dance so you can verbally assault them almost as directly as knocking on their front door.
