Congrats to the Phillies on winning Game 1 of the World Series (3-2)! Game 2 bows tonight at 8 p.m. on Fox. 1 down, 3 to go, turned the blog red today in honor of ...


OK everyone - it's Survivor Thursday!! Tonight, big surprise, another castaway gets voted out of the show ... but wait, CBS has been promoing all week that there could possibly be "the biggest blunder in Survivor history!"
C'mon, even bigger than ice cream-scooper Erik last season. Remember, Eric was duped into giving up the Immunity Idol to a female contestant (I don't remember her name), and then voted off at Tribal Council. Even James (previously dubbed the Dumbest Survivor for his past blunders) said, "Damn!"

According to the preview, it looks like faux-Brit Ace may convince Sugar to give up her Immunity Idol, now that everyone knows she has it. NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, give up Immunity for any price!! Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Survivor airs at 8 p.m.

Over on ABC at the same time, the tramptastic Lindsay Lohan makes her debut on Ugly Betty, a a former high school rival of Betty's. And according to the NY Post, Lohan was such a disaster while filming, that her six-episode arc has been cut short. Interesting ...


Hot Demon Fighters Sam & Dean
On the CW at 9 p.m. demon-fighting bros Sam and Dean (Supernatural) are on the chase after something that it frightening people to death.


And, if you just can't wait for tomorrow and High School Musical 3: Senior Year, you can relive the summer in between on the Disney Channel at 8 p.m. with High School Musical 2. Those kids are just so cute ... http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/highschoolmusical3/


Other than Survivor, the highlight of my evening has to be VH1's premiere episode of Celebrity Rehab 2 at 10 p.m. Yes, Dr. Drew's back with an almost all-new cast of "celebrity" junkies trying to get straight, or just jump start their failing careers with a stint on TV.
This season features model/actress Amber Smith (who?), former American Idol contestant Nicki McKibbin (I sort of remember her), Sean Stewart - son of Rod, Guns 'N Roses Steven Adler, ultimate '80 video vixen (Whitesnake's) Tawny Kitaen (and former OJ girlfriend), Rodney "Can't We All Just Get Along" King and, it-wouldn't-be-Celeb-Rehab-without-him, that good ole trainwreck Jeff Conaway!

Trainwreck Conaway!
Also on hand, just to "help" is recovering addict and nut-job Gary Busey, who claims to be all cleaned up - you be the judge. For more info visit

Halloween Horror Watch: Tonight Philadelphia 17 offers up A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 at 8 p.m. Definitely the weakest in the franchise.

But the Sci-Fi channel must've been reading my blog and is airing Saw I and II back-to-back beginning at 6:30 p.m. tonight. If you haven't already, check it out. However I must warn you die-hard gore fans, most of the best scenes will be cut out. It's better to rent the DVD. I strongly urge anyone planning to see Saw V this weekend, to watch the others first. There's a lot of recurring characters, and it could be quite confusing. Enjoy! http://saw5.com/agegate.html


Just for fun - the evil puppet doll from Saw - almost as scary as the clown doll from Poltergeist!
