Everyone's a loser

I wish "Law & Order: SVU" would move back to Tuesdays. At least there would be some real drama in the 10 pm time slot.

"The Biggest Loser" (NBC, 8:00): I don't even know where to begin in this travesty. The game goes back to Blue against Black format, and the losers are presented with a temptation where the prize is the ability to choose the new teams and the trainer. Of course, Wild-Eyed Tracey wins the power and shakes up the course of the game. She allows the Orange team to remain in tact for the Black team and keeps her own partner Mo for Blue. The rest are split up and most are paired with the trainer they didn't want.

Pause it: I know this is a game show as well as a weight loss challenge, but it pisses me off that some people come on here and start focusing on the game. Obviously if you didn't need to lose weight you wouldn't be on the show. So why, Wild-Eyed Tracey, do you constantly throw these unnecessary boulders in the other contestant's path to healthy living? If these people need the support of their partner to motivate them, why take that away?

Wild-Eyed Tracey chooses Bob as her trainer, saying she had a connection with him. Jillian's response: "Bob has no connection with Tracey. It's just Tracey's way of getting out of the ass whipping that I have been waiting to deliver her for the last 3 or 4 weeks." Nicely put, Jillian. Liz was livid that she was split from partner Danny and for 90 minutes I listened to her threaten to send Wild-Eyed Tracey home the first chance she got. Blue team loses the weigh in and what does Liz do with that first chance? She votes for Mo. So much for getting even, Liz?

Did the Blue team get it right by voting off Mo? Do you think Wild-Eyed Tracey will skate through to the end without even working out? Does that tick you off as much as it does me?

Worth a chuckle: Jillian to Dina when she starts to flake out on her workout: "Your life's not changing today but at least your butt will get smaller ... at least that's something."

"The Good Wife" (CBS, 10:00): Either the show was so good I couldn't take notes, or it was so boring that I couldn't find anything to write about. Whatever the case, it was an interesting take on jury tampering. Alicia had to determine if a juror was being bribed in a class action lawsuit against a drug company. I guess we were supposed to be intrigued by the who's-fooling-who aspect, but it didn't prove itself to be a riveting way to tell the story.

I'm still wishing they spent more time on Alicia's situation with her husband. The show is supposed to center around his arrest and philandering ways, but is always takes a backseat to Alicia's court cases. I object!

Rewind that: On the premier episode of "The Hills" (MTV, 10:00), Audrina said that the "girl code" states that you don't date your friend's ex. Doesn't the "boy code" say you don't date your ex-lover's best friend? I'm just saying.
And did anybody hear Spencer say he was getting his tubes tied? Tubes. Tied. The sad thing is he's just that stupid enough to think his body comes with those. Hint to Spencer: they're located where your manhood used to be.
