Mondays, 8 p.m., KSL Ch. 5
What happened?
Ex-CIA was eliminated during a frantic search of a Philadelphia museum for the seven-letter clue that opened the teams' portable vaults. The Geniuses were only seconds ahead of Ex-CIA with the magic word: Liberty. Air Force stayed in first place by virtue of its usual military efficiency.
What were they thinking?
The Geniuses (not!) drove aimlessly before stumbling onto the museum by sheer dumb luck. It didn't help that Charles - who didn't know how to spell Philadelphia - couldn't find the city on his map.
Best whine and cheese moment
OK, we know everybody's tired and frazzled, but Southie twins Matthew and Martin need to lose the psychotic sibling rivalry. They nearly lost their lead while threatening to kill each other outside the museum.
Who should get booted
Send Southie Boys, left, home before the shouting turns to bloodshed.
Last Comic Standing
Tuesdays, 8 p.m., KSL Ch. 5
What happened?
And the winner is . . . Josh Blue, the comic whose act is 100 percent about his disability. Ty Barnett has a heckuva lot more talent, style and range. But America gave its sympathy, and its votes, to the man with the goofy headband.
What were they thinking!
Why was actor Anthony Clark, right, hired to host a stand-up comedy show? A mortician would have been a better fit than the gloomy, cheerless, depressing Clark.
Best whine & cheese moment
Josh Blue said it himself: If he were suddenly cured of cerebral palsy, he wouldn't have an act.
Who should get booted
Josh Blue is a one-joke wonder. Ty Barnett was robbed!
America's Got Talent
Weds., 8:30 p.m.; Thursday, 8 p.m.
What happened?
Judges resurrected some of their favorite acts from the dead, giving them one last chance to win $1 million. In the end, street cloggers All That! and quick-change artists David and Dania earned spots in next week's finals.
What were they thinking!
Natassa, honey, you are one fine classical pianist, especially for an 8-year-old, but don't ever, ever, attempt to sing rock 'n' roll again, seriously.
Best whine & cheese moment
In what Regis called "one of the most controversial moments in TV history," Piers asks David and Dania whether they're deaf and dumb for ignoring his advice, so Dania weeps and David roars: "Don't call me dumb!"
Who should get booted
Yeah, their "change clothes really fast" routine is mystifying for a moment, and Piers was wrong to be such a big meanie, but David and Dania are getting boring.
So You Think You Can Dance
Weds., 8 p.m., Thurs., 8 p.m., KSTU Ch. 13
What happened?
The final four dancers performed, with the guys partnering up and the girls partnering up for numbers for the first time. Travis and Heidi were praised, while Benji was essentially ignored and Donyelle slammed by the judges. Next week, the winner is announced live.
What were they thinking!
The Broadway routine was way too simplistic to help the girls shine this week. Shame on the choreographer.
The judges all loved Benji and Heidi's performance, followed by a mini rumba line. Gag me.
Who should get booted
Although the Heidi-Benji love boat is gaglicious, they're the strongest performers. Heidi has improved most, but Benji has always looked like Fred Astaire. I feel a Travis/Donyelle feud coming.
