Dollhouse: Season 1 – Review
Delve into the underbelly of internet über-geekdom and you won't be far away from the forum-dwelling hordes who bow down at the altar of one Joss Whedon. Those inhabitants will tell you stories of how Firefly was cruelly and prematurely cancelled. Hope was on the horizon, as Whedon has stretched his hand down once again to those disciples and bestowed upon them a new gift - one that comes in the form of Eliza Dushku in a leather dominatrix outfit.

Sophie Reade Wins Big Brother – Oh, At Least Pretend To Care
Without question, Big Brother 2009 will be remembered for one of three things. It could be remembered as the Big Brother that nobody cared about. Or it could be remembered as the Big Brother that was won by Sophie Reade, 2009's obligatory thick blonde girl with big knockers. Or it could be remembered as the Big Brother where Davina McCall turned up to the final in fancy dress and nobody really understood why. But whatever. On Friday night Sophie Reade emerged triumphant as the winner of Big Brother 2009. So that'll be the last that anyone hears from her, then.

Big Brother Final! Who’s Going To Win? Dogface? Oh, Right
Tonight's the big night! After approximately most of our entire life, this series of Big Brother will end tonight. We jest - in all seriousness Big Brother has actually had one of the best years on record. But nobody cares, because hardly anyone watched it and it's dying soon anyway so what's the point? Huh? What's the bloody point point of anything any more? Anyway, which of the remaining Big Brother housemates will end up winning the prize money, releasing a fitness DVD and embarking on a disastrous pop career? Time to have one final look, we suppose...

Hey Look, It’s The Strictly Come Dancers!
While Simon Cowell prepares to spend the late Summer/Early Autumn explaining to people with special needs that while they might be special, it's not the good singing special that he's after, the Strictly Come Dancing judges have already vetted their contestants, fishing instead from the very deep waters of minor celebrity. Allow us to introduce the sixteen famous faces preparing to show the exact contours of their crotches to the nation...

America’s Got Talent: Recycled Percussion Are Rubbish
Week 274 of Ameria's Got Talent, and the ten remaining acts audition again, for your votes. Well, either your votes, or else the approval of the goat's entrails which the judges seem to have been relying on these past few weeks to tell them which act gets their discretionary nod. If you, like us, are getting a little tired of this season's judges' decisions - which they apparently make by asking themselves "Which of these acts is worst at delivering the one, simple, specific thing which they claim as their whole reason for being here?" - then take heart! After the jump, we introduce you to the awesomely majestic mighty magnificence which is... the AGT Drinking Game.

Big Brother: Marcus Vs Siavash, Plus Big Brother Dies
Yeah yeah, Marcus vs Siavash, blah blah blah - they're killing Big Brother! They're actually killing Big Brother! It's a sad day indeed. Big Brother has always been there for us - through the bad times, the other bad times, the worse times and the times that were so bad that we deliberately shat ourselves in protest at them - and, yes, we'll miss it. What's that? Big Brother's still contracted for one more year? Alright, we don't like it that much. Jesus. Anyway, this week Marcus and Siavash face eviction - not that it matters any more - so here's what we think of them...

Big Brother: See? We Said Bea Would Get Evicted
On Friday, Bea got evicted from the Big Brother house, which isn't really news because Bea was rubbish. So what other Big Brother news is there? Well, Big Brother is going for starters, and we've decided to take that fact as something between a depressing critique on the state of the nation and a direct personal insult. What else? Nothing. Nothing has happened on Big Brother, in the last few days or ever, frankly. Nevertheless, here are the Big Brother housemates who've caught our eye this week - Siavash, Charlie and Lisa...

Big Brother: Bea Or Marcus Or David Out Tomorrow Or Something
There's another Big Brother eviction tomorrow! We haven't been counting, but we're fairly sure this might be the thousandth one of the year. But who cares, because tomorrow either Bea or Marcus or David will be evicted from the Big Brother house. And really it could be any of... oh, who are we kidding? It'll be Bea, won't it? By a mile. Bea's going to be evicted from the Big Brother house by a mile. She definitely will. Definitely. But, hey, let's play dumb and look at the chances of all three of them for the sake of tradition...
