Dirt · Season 1 · Episode 5 · Originally Aired January 30, 2007
When Leo walks in on new boyfriend and action hero/family man Jack Dawson, along with another boy toy, he decides that he's had enough, so he promptly runs to big sister Lucy, and all is forgiven for following him last episode. Now he just wants revenge, and he knows just how to get it.
Lucy promptly dispatches Don to get some pictures, but when Leo gets back to the gated compound, he can't get in - the lock has been changed. Leo manages to get in, and scribbles a note for Don, and Don snaps some revealing photos, but gets caught in the act - and beaten to a pulp in the process. Talk about dedication. Cutting off a finger tip, getting beaten up. This guy is a machine. Lucky for him (and Lucy), he swallowed the film before getting kicked off the grounds, and the pictures are quite revealing.

Dirt · Season 1 · Episode 6 · Originally Aired February 6, 2007
As Lucy gets a bit desperate for a cover, she settles on a cheerleader from a small town who recently turned up dead in the woods, with the reasoning that someone that young has to have something going on that is newsworthy. It turns out that she is right, but in a twist worthy of Close to Home, in a way that you're never likely to suspect.
Guest star Paul Reubens (yes, Pee Wee himself) plays oddly named Chuck Lafoon, an old-timer who escorts Willa on her first big story to see if she can get something big for next week's cover. They turn up some fairly decent Dirt in the process.

Dirt · Season 1 · Episode 7 · Originally Aired February 13, 2007
Now that Lucy and Holt have decided to cross that invisible line that previously separated their relationship, they decided to cross it again. And again. But when Lucy mentions that Julia is having some drug problems, Holt doesn't like where things are going, and suspects that she is interested for business reasons.
Keeping with the doctor theme, Holt decides to have his worm problem checked out, and gets some medication that should handle it. Then he goes to see Julia, who wants to go to work with Holt. Unfortunately, it's the day of a big sex scene, and she doesn't handle it well, so she leaves and goes to see Garbo, her drug dealer.

The Amazing Race · Season 11 · Episode 1 · Originally Aired February 18, 2007
I Told You Less Martinis and More Cardio
The eleventh season of The Amazing Race kicks off from Miami, Florida. Oswald and Danny took the early lead, but John Vito and Jill beat them to the airport and Rob and Amber (yes, that Rob and Amber) beat them to the shuttle.
Since Rob and Amber followed Oswald and Danny to the airport, Rob actually held the shuttle for them - though to be fair it wasn't all out of the kindness of his heart. He did mention that he wanted everyone to remember what he did. As if anyone will remember anything on the next leg, much less a few weeks from now.

Grease: You're the One That I Want · Season 1 · Episode 6 · Originally Aired February 18, 2007
In last week's show, I accurately predicted the bottom four for this week - Juliana Hansen, Kathleen Monteleone, Jason Celaya and Kevin Greene. I neglected to mention who I thought would go home. Whoops. I'll try to remember for the future. Before we get to the elimination, it's time for some singing.
This week, it's time for some duets. Each contestant will be paired up with a contestant of the opposite sex. For those having a problem following, that means one potential Danny with one would-be Sandy. Then they will team up to sing a song, and rated on their performance. However, singers are still rated individually, even though they sing together. So it's a little strange. I understand this is (likely) a one-off show, but it's just a little strange.

Rome · Season 2 · Episode 6 · Originally Aired February 18, 2007
In preparation for their expected victory, Mark Antony and Octavian are already dividing up Rome once their victory is complete. Premature? Perhaps. But they do it nonetheless, and the first thing you should do in such a circumstance is to wipe out your enemies. So that's just what they do, making up a list of everyone that they want to take out.
First on the list is none other than Cicero, who other than being a bit of a weasel and planning a rebellion through Brutus, really isn't that bad of a guy. As it turns out, he's got a nice spread too. But that is neither here nor there. Once his name is on the list, it gets moved up a few notches when it is determined that his detached hands should be nailed to the door of the senate (yes, really). And that's just the beginning.
