There are a number of Summer reality TV series winding down their current seasons this week. Last night Theo Tams was crowned the latest Canadian Idol (IMHO the most talented vocalist to gain prominence on that show since Jacob Hoggard (3rd place finisher in season 2-- the band Hoggard fronts (Hedley) also performed on last night's show finale)) . Tonight we found out that "the renegades" (Dan and Memphis) will be facing off before the jury in the finale of Big Brother next Tuesday. (I give the edge to Dan.) Finally, America's Got Talent (pre-empted for a period due to NBC's Olympics coverage) is also grinding toward a conclusion. (We won't say much about The Greatest American Dog, other than it is unlikely to be renewed for a second season (or even to have its first season re-run on Animal Planet))
With Summer almost behind us, we now have the next wave of Fall reality shows to start looking forward to watching. The teams for Survivor: Gabon (season 17) and pairs for the next Amazing Race (season 13) have been announced, as have the celebrities for the next Dancing with the Stars . Among the "stars" scheduled to appear are Lance Bass, perennial Daytime Emmy snubee Susan Lucci, Cloris Leachman (who will become the oldest celeb to dance on the show ever) and singer Toni Braxton (despite her heart condition). A Canadian version of "So You Can Think You Can Dance" also kicked off on CTV tonight. Finally, The Biggest Loser is putting a family spin on their weight loss challenge this year!
Bring on Fall!
