On Ep. 23 of America’s Got Talent, ten acts perform, but only five will advance to the finals and the chance to compete for $1 million.
The highlights include Recycled Percussion, whose well defined abs cause Sharon Osbourne to swoon. Drew Stevyns is bound to make it into the finals because to put it quite simply he’s absolutely dreamy, and even David Hasselhoff admits his sound turns him on. Cancer survivor Barbara Padilla blows Piers Morgan away; he can only say ‘wow.’
The pressure gets to some of the performers, and they bomb. Footworkingz performs a dance number to the Power Rangers theme song, and Piers Morgan describes them as going from cool to un-cool, committing career suicide with the performance. Jeffrey Ou manages to miss all the notes on the piano, creating an unrecognizable musical piece. Mario & Jenny puts on a dance/illusion act that is a mess and impossible to define.
‘America’s Got Talent’ earned a 3.2 rating, and was number one overall with 4.2 million viewers

Last week on Lifetime’s ‘Project Runway’, the designers endured their first one day challenge to create an eye-catching look for an industry event.
Carol Hannah Whitfield earned high praise from the judges, who described her garment as sophisticated, beautifully executed and a good mixture of edgy, class and sex appeal. Epperson showed he’s a true craftsman, taking a simple silhouette and giving it a new twist. Althea Harper went above and beyond the call of duty and created a 3-piece suit that blew the judges away. She walked away the winner, and guest judge Jennifer Rade wanted to buy her look.
Unfortunately, not all designers earned high marks. Logan Neitzel’s tacky prom look and Qristyl Frazier’s black cocktail dress, which the judges felt looked cheap, made them candidates for elimination. Qristyl got the ax.

Natalie Martinez lets Kevin Campbell win round one of the ‘HOH’ competition, thinking that he will choose her as one of the final two.

Big Brother 11 Veto Block Party: Ep. 27 Review [Spoilers]

Big Brother’s veto competition required housemates to answer 20 trivia questions. Kevin Campbell, motivated by possible eviction, was triumphant in the challenge and used the veto power on himself, which forced Jordan Llyod to take his place in the hot seat.
A little slow on the uptake, Jordan and Michele Noonan finally realized that they were duped by Kevin and Natalie Martinez, who faked the break in their alliance. With no delay, the housemates faced eviction, with Kevin holding the deciding vote. He chose to evict Michele, and trusted that his pact with Natalie would get him to the ‘final two’ – perhaps not the smartest move.
The remaining contestants participated in the first portion of a 3-part head of household competition, which required them to tread a log while holding a key above their heads. After four hours on the rolling log, Kevin emerged victorious.
CBS’ ‘Big Brother 11’ earned a 2.7 rating among adults 18-49, with 8.126 million viewers.
