Last week, House and the remaining candidates were faced with a 16-year-old kid who was up for plastic surgery donated by a production company when he unexpectedly goes into a heart attack. The team successfully made the kid better, allowing him to undergo plastic surgery. This week, Dr. Kutner and Cole was watching a magician show when they witness the magician nearly drowning in a glass tank filled with water when his heart fails and blood appears in front of the audience.

At the lecture room, House introduces a challenge to the remaining five candidates. He agrees that the winner will get a chance to nominate two of his competitors, but House will decide on which one to fire. The challenge is to get Dr. Cuddy’s thong.

Kutner and Cole insists on taking the magician’s case. Although House was pretty sure that the magician was only acting his heart attack as a way to escape the tank, he agrees for Kutner to test the magician, but gets his job on the line when the patient has no medical condition. Thirteen and Kutner examines the magician, while being witness to magic card tricks. In the meantime, the two most ambitious doctors Amber and Taub are thinking of getting Cuddy’s thong and plans to team up for the challenge.

When Kutner and Thirteen discovers that the magician has no other sickness, Kutner goes to Dr. Foreman directly and asks him what to do, afraid of getting fired. He then suggests them to get an MRI. However, they weren’t able to get the magician through the MRI as he is experiencing internal bleeding. As for the challenge, Taub places a black thong on the table, but House guesses that Amber and Taub is cheating to win the challenge. He instantly discovers that it was Amber’s underwear and she is not wearing any at that minute.

The magician’s spleen is shredded. In the operating room, House enters to uncover the key inside the magician’s spleen, which was originally placed on his intestines. While explaining to the magician, the magician asks House to pick a card and slams the deck of cards into the glass, while House’s card stuck inside the glass door. The magician insists that he never screws up a trick and just as House was about to prove himself right, the magician bleeds through the nose. While discussing the case, House and the rest of the team was shocked when Dr. Cole places a red thong on the table. Although House knows that Cuddy’s underwear that day was red, he is still shocked as to how Cole got it.

House observes that Thirteen has been acting “clumsy” and weird and tries to talk to her about “hiding a medical condition”. However, Thirteen denies about any illness she is feeling and tells him that once she’s bleeding her eyes out, then she’ll ask for a medical advice.

Taub and Kutner goes to the magician’s house to inspect any weird items. They discover a group of rabbits, wherein he might have gotten the disease from. Before House explains the condition to the patient, he asks the magician how he did the card trick in exchange for the information about his medical condition. While the magician believes in “fun is not knowing”, House answers “fun is knowing” then cuts his dextrose. The magician acts as though he’s having a severe headache, then tells House he’ll just drink the vicadin he’s holding. As soon as House realizes he won’t be able to know the magician’s secret trick, he tells him that his illness came from the rabbits and he’ll be okay after the treatment.

At the corridor, House sees Cuddy and intentionally throws his stack of vicadin on the floor so that Cuddy could pick it up and he could check out Cuddy’s ass. As soon as Dr. Cuddy picked the vicadin, House screams of shock to discover she has no underwear and Cole actually has earned his reward. Since Cole is safe from elimination, Amber tries to manipulate him, Taub tries to bribe him with $5,000 and Kutner tries a guilt-trip approach and puts their friendship on the line. In the meantime, the magician thinks he’s dying because the MRI shows his kidneys, thigh and other internal organs are bleeding all over the place.

The magician had a seizure twice and his kidneys are shutting down. Since there are numerous infections possible of killing the magician and it would take hours to test them all, House decides to transfuse the patient’s blood into him to make the process easier. During the transfusion, House talks to Thirteen and made her open up about her mom’s Parkinson’s sickness. House gets a fever, becomes dizzy and faints. House discovers that Thirteen drugged him so the team could get the needed samples from him. House then gets Thirteen’s bottled water and runs it for a test.

Wilson announces to House that his biopsies are clean, but is shocked to discover that House used his life on the line just to prove himself right. While talking, House accidentally tells Wilson that he’s blood type is the universal donor, type A, always giving and giving. Wilson gets paranoid about his blood type “you tested me for something”, but House runs out of the room to explain to his team that the magician’s blood type is A and they were killing him because they were giving him the wrong type of blood.

During firing time, House enters the lecture room with a pillow and Dr. Cuddy’s thong. Cole nominates Amber and Kutner, but House finds out that he made a deal with cuddy to get her pick from the 5 remaining. House says that although Cole’s scheme was brilliant, he’s fired because he gave Cuddy the power.

As it turns out, House used Thirteen’s bottled water to get a test for Huntington’s disease, the medical condition which may possibly be infecting Thirteen’s body. She then discovered the envelope of the result and asked House about it. She gives the envelop back to House saying that if she ran out of questions, she’ll also run out of hope. House throws the envelope without looking at the result.

Who will be next to leave or get fired by House? Amber? Thirteen? Taub or Kutner?

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of House Season 4 episode 9, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on Fox.

Last night we found out who The Bachelor 11 winner, or lack thereof, was. Instead of attempting to give a relationship a shot, Brad Womack decided that none of the 25 women ABC handpicked for him were worth his time, and he rejected both DeAnna and Jenni. I don’t think it’s far fetched to say that both the women came out as winners. Tonight, we find out what’s happened after the final rose.

Trista and Ryan, The Bachelor’s most well known success story, make their first public appearance with their new baby, Max. Trista says she feels really bad for everyone. Byron and Mary also make an appearance, and they say they’re going to get married in November (uh, which November?). Apparently dragging out all the success stories softens the blow in preparation for a trainwreck.

While watching the recap of her journey, Jenni gets emotional all over again. She feels like she was somewhat misled by Brad based on some of the things he said to her about just sticking with him. Until last night, she assumed he was with DeAnna. She doesn’t understand why he didn’t at least give it a try with someone, even if it wasn’t her. After the round of questions, Chris says Jenni’s grandmother passed away two weeks ago, so they pay tribute to her, going back to what happened on the hometown date, including Jenni insisting she’ll be there for her wedding.

Like Jenni, DeAnna relives the events of last night’s episode. She said she knew something was wrong when he got nervous and walked away from her during the middle of the final rose ceremony. She still has feelings for him and says she still has hope. Ultimately, she can’t figure out how he couldn’t choose someone either. Unlike Jenni, though, she knew that he rejected both of them.

Brad comes out to a hostile audience. He says his heart was broken, too. Nobody’s buying it. They flew DeAnna’s dad out for the final ceremony (at Brad’s request), as they were expecting a proposal. He says he felt like a jerk, which is the first thing America will agree with him about. He claims he hasn’t started dating.

Jenni poses the question why he didn’t want to at least take a chance on someone. He now says he felt something for two people, so because he felt something for two people he let both of them go. Then he said something about how he didn’t fall in love with either, so he dumped them both. I can’t keep up with all the circles he’s talking in.

DeAnna also asks how he couldn’t choose one of them. She’s confused because she was never led to believe that it wasn’t there. He tells her she should have the guy who will tell her everything she told him, which he essentially claims he was never going to be able to do that with her no matter how much longer he dated her. When he tells her he thinks of her every single day, she asks what that means. She just keeps getting more and more confused because she can’t figure out what the heck he’s talking about either. Despite all this, she mostly just seems to be wondering why he’s not reconsidering now and taking her up on the second chance she’s offfering.

Chris tells Brad that, after six years, that situation with DeAnna was the most uncomfortable thing he’s had to sit through. I think some people were hoping that the finale would answer some questions, but I got lost in all the double talk. The good news is that The Bachelor will be returning in the spring, with hopefully a more satisfying ending.

Joshua and Shay were eliminated in Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 9, which brought us down to the final three teams: Jen & William (the team that hates each other), Sam & Nicole (the team the show was rigged to favor), and David & Jasmine (okay, so I at least like Jasmine, even if she’s still an airhead).

David still thinks William and Jen can learn to not hate each other’s guts.

The next challenge is in wine country. Most of them are hoping to get drunk. This will be a team challenge. Whoever doesn’t win goes to the elimination room.

They’ll pick 20 pounds of grapes, stomp them, and bottle, cork, and label them. They’ll have to work closely: being tied together. What this has to do with what they studied, I guess I’ll have to keep wondering. Sam’s happy because he’ll be able to speed Nicole up, as he drags her down the hill. Jen and William don’t know if they have enough, but they decide to head back anyway and take a chance. David and Jasmine head back with 20 pounds and are the first to be able to start the next part of the challenge. However, William and Jen only have 13 pounds, so they have to go back down the hill. Sam and Nicole got back with 25-30 pounds. William and Jen catch up with 20. So now everybody’s stomping grapes. Dave and Jasmine fill up three bottles first. They easily get the win before the others can get any bottles filled. Jen and William were as much of a disaster as could be expected in something requiring a lot of teamwork, while Sam’s physical ability was not enough to be able to carry Nicole. Sam decides to be a baby and refuses to eat, pouting all day instead.

William and Jen are studying. Together. They still hate each other, but they’re at least working toward a common goal.

They watch the first episode of this season. David and Jasmine relive how much he didn’t want to be her partner, but he’s happy now, while she thinks he just needs to learn how to lie to women. They try to convince us Sam’s not still a meathead. William and Jen hated each other. So no change.

Despite his earlier beliefs that Jen and William need to be around to repair their relationship, Dave helps Nicole study because he’s got a crush on her. He plans with Jasmine to go on a double date with them if they survive. Then she tries to convince him he should tell Nicole he likes her before she leaves for the elimination room. Right before elimination, Jasmine goes to say goodbye and drags Nicole back to see Dave. In his mind, he asks her on a date, inviting her out to eat when they get back to Boston. She just sees it as going out with a friend and doesn’t expect it to go anywhere.

Jen gets her first question right, as does Sam. Jen misses her second question, but Sam gets his. William apologizes to her because he mispronounced the word while they were studying. William gets his first question right, as does Nicole. William misses his second question, which is about a pop singer for some reason, so he and Jen are finally eliminated. They’ve learned to tolerate each other, though.

Next week, the teams go home to meet their parents. They also learn the winner will be decided in a unique way. That’s probably not a good thing.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 11 Meet the Parents, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

The Bachelor 12 Winner
The Bachelorette 4 Winner

We’re now down to the final two. Jenni, the bubbly cheerleader who’s always smiling, and DeAnna, the woman who’s always gotten along great with Brad but couldn’t seem to comprehend that not being there to make friends didn’t mean she had to treat all the girls like dirt.

Now it’s time for the girls to go to Brad’s hometown. DeAnna is first up. His mom’s pleased with the body language he’s displaying with her. DeAnna says she’s in love with him and hoping for a proposal. They get along really well, and DeAnna tells us his mom reminds us of her mom.

Jenni’s nervous at first, and with questions like whether she’s told him he loves her, that’s not surprising. Unlike DeAnna, she doesn’t say she’s already in love with him, but she does say she’s falling in love with him. She does, however, say she would accept a proposal.

Brad’s mom found it easier to talk to DeAnna, which was pretty easy to see. She tells him she likes both of them, though. He’s afraid he’ll break someone’s heart.

DeAnna made dinner for Brad, and he’s very impressed. While they’re talking, she feels reassured that they’re discussing the future, which seems very real to her. On a side note, what’s up with the excessive blinking?

Jenni says she feels silly being serious. She gets emotional when she tells him he doesn’t have anything to be afraid of. It would be a lot of work with her, but she thinks she’s worth it. She breaks out a journal in which she’s written some apparently heartfelt words. Finally, she’s able to tell him how she feels, which she was too afraid to do before. The night before the final decision is a little late for that.

Brad wakes up and prepares for the final rose ceremony, by going shopping for an engagement ring. He sees DeAnna as strong, independent, and someone who will be by his side all his life. He sees Jenni as someone who’s so happy that they’ll have a lot of laughter.

And with that, he first has to break up with Jenni, telling her it’s just not enough. All she’s able to get out is that she feels embarrassed for telling him how she felt.

Brad tells DeAnna he agrees with her philosophy that marriage is one time only. With that said, he refuses to tell her he loves her or propose. He tells her goodbye as well. Wow, I didn’t see that one coming. He asks if she knows how much he cares about her, and she says no, not any more.

While this isn’t the storybook ending that some may expect from this type of show, Brad’s probably looking at this more realistically than anyone ever has. As all the previous Bachelor couples have found out, this is too short a time on which to build something lasting. What I can’t understand is why the heck he just simply dumped both women rather than at least giving a relationship a try. So is everybody the winner here, or is everybody the loser?

Heroes Season 2 Episode 8 took us back and answered questions. We found out why DL is dead, Maya and Alejandro’s story of their new powers, and what happened to Peter, how he knew Elle and Bob, and how he met Adam. Now Peter remembers that he has to save the world.

HRG still seems to think they’re moving. Claire comes down dressed in her cheerleader outfit and makes it clear she doesn’t care what he says. Then she accuses him of abducting West and says they’ll always be running no matter what she does. Her father’s willing to tie her up if needed, but her mom steps in and lets her go to school to say goodbye.

At his father’s funeral, Hiro’s supposed to speak, but he just gets guilty and blames himself for his father’s death. He decides to go back in time, heading back one week to stop it.

Molly’s back at home and not having any nightmares. Parkman is looking for answers in the photo. Molly volunteers to help, but he declines. He wants her to just be a little girl and uses his powers to covince her to go back to normal.

Bob wants to grab Claire and take out her father. He brings Suresh to his new partner and the person who’s going to carry out the murder, Elle.

West doesn’t believe Claire’s for real and still thinks it’s all a setup. She says it is all just a coincidence, and she lied because she liked him and didn’t want to mess everything up like it has been. Regardless, he doesn’t believe her story or that she’s staying behind for him.

Parkman continues researching the photo while at work. His boss gets upset and tells him he’s got real work to do. With a little mind control, this isn’t really much of an obstacle for Matt.

HRG tells his wife more of the story, showing him the paintings of him, Claire, and Suresh with a gun, and he says he really needs to talk to West. He calls Suresh to ask for his help tracking West down. After hanging up, Suresh goes to talk Elle and Bob into not killing him. Elle’s not interested, but Bob says he’s willing to do it his way.

Hiro breaks the bad news to his father, who refuses help and just accepts his fate. But that doesn’t prevent Hiro from interfering anyway.

HRG gets tired of waiting around. He goes to find West at school, but he doesn’t need to go far, since West is waiting for him right outside. West wants answers. Her father tells West the truth and says he’s guessing he’s pretty important to her since she lied to him and never mentioned having a boyfriend. Then he tells him he’s taking Claire and leaving town, and West will be the one to convince her it’s the right thing to do. Suresh calls and gets them to go to school, though, convincing them Claire’s in danger.

Bob goes to Claire’s school, pretending to be researching underaged drinking. He slips up and calls her by her old name so she takes off. With that, she’s now perfectly willing to leave town. Except when she arrives at home, Bob’s there waiting for her.

Suresh goes to Noah to ask her for Claire so they can get her blood. Unsurprisingly, he doesn’t get a reaction that isn’t hostile. So he pulls out a gun and says “Start driving… please.” Just as Elle’s ready to kill HRG, West swoops down from the sky and saves him. HRG grabs the gun from Mohinder but resists the desire to shoot him for betraying him. When they get home, they find out Bob took Claire, but since they’ve got Elle, they’ve got plenty of room to bargain.

He gives Elle a history lesson, telling her the story of how they brought her in and performed tests on her. Obviously, she doesn’t remember any of this. Bob calls, and Noah offers a trade, Claire for Elle. Bob still manages to get some of Claire’s blood.

Hiro takes his father back to the day his mother died, running into little Hiro. In the process of talking to his younger self, Hiro learns that he must allow his father to die as he originally did. Before dying, Kaito tells Hiro he’s proud of him. Hiro’s no dummy, though. He sticks around to find out who the killer is: Takezo Kensei.

Parkman goes to Angela to get the truth. With some convincing, she tells him it was Adam Monroe, who has cellular regeneration like Claire, which after a while made him stop growing old.

West goes with HRG to save Claire and gets instructions to fly her out immediately, no matter what else happens. As they’re flying away, Elle breaks free and zaps West. HRG wants to kill Bob to kill the Company, but Suresh shoots HRG first instead, making another of Isaac’s paintings come true.

Claire’s guilty because the last thing she ever said to her father was this morning, when she said “I hate you.”

Hiro’s now able to give a speech about his father, saying that he will live on in the lessons he taught.

Claire’s blood proves to be as useful as had been expected. The previously dead Noah is hooked up to a tube, and he wakes up.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Heroes Season 2 episode 10 Truth & Consequences, which airs Monday at 9/8c on NBC.

Third time’s a charm, as we’ve finally gotten official confirmation of the cast that will be in Celebrity Apprentice. The first list turned out to be typical Donald BS. The second list turned out to be largely accurate. Anyway, here’s the list of “celebrities” that will be appearing on The Apprentice 7.

Trace Adkins (Country music singer)
Carol Alt (Ex-model)
Stephen Baldwin (Actor, The Usual Suspects, both Celebrity Moles)
Nadia Comaneci (Olympic gymnast)
Tiffany Fallon (Playboy Playmate of the year 2005)
Jennie Finch (Olympic softball player)
Nely Galan (Producer, The Swan)
Marilu Henner (Actress, Taxi)
Lennox Lewis (Boxer)
Omarosa (The Apprentice 1)
Piers Morgan (America’s/Britain’s Got Talent Judge)
Tito Ortiz (UFC Fighter)
Vincent Pastore (Actor, The Sopranos)
Gene Simmons (KISS Singer)

In addition to this underwhelming list of celebrities you may or may not recognize, since NBC’s essentially dead on Thursdays anyway, they’re giving Trump his time slot back. The show will premiere on Thursday January 3 at 9PM. I always liked this time slot myself, as it was a great followup to Survivor.

Certain tasks will encourage the contestants to reach out to their contacts for assistance or donations, and a new twist will offer a “rotating seat” in the boardroom. Contestants will not be competing for a job with Trump but instead will be competing for money for charity.

Craig Plestis, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, Development and Specials, NBC Entertainment (Is this guy for real? Try putting that on a business card.), said, “You may think you have seen it all, but there will be lots of twists and surprises to sweeten the pot for everyone. We had so much fun shooting this and we know viewers are going to embrace this amped up Apprentice.”

Prison Break’s currently on hiatus, but we can still look forward to the upcoming action. Here’s a spoiler video and official description of Prison Break Season 3 episode 9 Boxed In.
