On last week’s “The Newsroom,” ACN decided to cover the Casey Anthony trial and Anthony Weiner’s ruinous boner text. Also, ACN bossman Charlie Skinner ran into some carnation difficulty. Does this Troll Cabal Neal is investigating resemble anything that exists in real life? Is it worth Neal’s time to investigate?
HBO says of “The Blackout Part 2: Mock Debate”:
The "News Night" staff host a mock debate for two Republican Party officials; a power outage energizes Mac's thought process; Charlie evaluates an intelligence-agency insider's reliability; Lisa does an on-air interview; Neal poses as an Internet troll.
Last week’s “Weeds” saw Doug Wilson lose his spacesuit and his credit card, Andy Botwin lie to a classroom full of fellow Jews, Strange Botwin graduate from the New York police academy and Nancy Botwin bone Old Sandwich’s only honest doctor. After tonight, just five episodes left, including the hour-long Sept. 16 series finale.
Showtime says of “Five Miles From Yetzer Hara”:
After receiving an interesting proposal from an unexpected source, Nancy struggles with a decision involving a questionable business.
A major betrayal has locked the Big Brother house in turmoil since Friday afternoon. Spoilers in invisotext. Shane won the Head of Household competition, then promptly nominated fellow Silent Six Alliance members Boogie and Frank for eviction. Which was awesome; Boogie’s probably the biggest piece of shit ever to play Big Brother. (The nominations had to piss Frank especially, since Boogie decided to pursue $10,000 for himself instead of the HoH key that would have kept Frank and himself safe.) Meanwhile, the Quack Pack alliance also seems in danger of sinking because Shane told Boogie and Frank that their nominations were largely Britney’s idea.
SUPERSPOILER! We’ll see Wednesday that Frank beat Shane to the power of veto -- and now holds the opportunity to take himself off the chopping block. While Boogie’s future in the house now seems refreshingly doomed.
