The ladies of “The Talk” are certainly coming into their own for their second season. After a couple of cast changes, which included Leah Remini and Holly Robinson being replaced by Sheryl Underwood and Aisha Tyler, the show is experiencing record ratings. Don’t get it twisted, they’re not at the levels of “The View” yet, but they’re certainly on the uptick.

To keep the momentum going, the ladies are uprooting the show and heading off to the Big Apple. “The Talk” will be filming a few episodes in New York City from December 12-16. According to the show, the response has been overwhelming with ticket requests going through the roof. Apparently, the show’s website crashed from the avalanche of requests. LOL. You would think CBS would’ve been better prepared for that.

From the sounds of it, the girls don’t need to do any promotion for their field trip. But that’s not stopping them. What’s more iconic than “Sex and the City“? Nothing apparently. The girls decided to film a spoof depicting the daytime talkers as the fabulous Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha. Based on the clothing they’re wearing, I’m guessing Sara Gilbert is Carrie, Aisha Tyler is Miranda, Sheryl Underwood as Charlotte and by process of elimination Julie Chen as Samantha. Who knew, Mrs. Les Moonves was the slutty one out the group. LOL? Check out the clip below. You’ll never see Chenbot in the same way again.

With such a long break since the last episode, I feel like I haven’t watched Big Brother forever and now the Season Finale is here! It’s down to Rachel, Porsche and Adam. Tonight, the jury will decide the winner, and they’ll also reveal who America’s Favorite Houseguest is. Before we get to that, CBS treats us to a recap of how everything played out this summer – sort of a little refresher so we can remember where some of the jury members’ bitterness may come from.

First things first, we need to figure out who won the final 3-part HOH competition. We left things off in the last episode with the blender, spinning around the final three until there was only one left. Ugh, I don’t know if I could do this for that long – I sometimes get nauseous on a swing-set now-a-days!

Adam wimps out and falls off the blender first after almost half an hour. Big surprise – this guy can’t win any endurance competition other than the guy who can smoke the most cigarettes in a day. After 46 minutes, the next person who falls off is…

I couldn’t be more annoyed with Adam being the new HOH right now. He is way too close for comfort to sitting in the final two and needs to get evicted ASAP. As HOH, he has to put up two people for nominations and his choices are as follows: Rachel, Jordan, or Porsche. He has promised Rachel & Jordan final three, but he is going to have to put up one of them. I think his only shot would be to put up Porsche and Jordan.

Rachel has the best chance of winning the POV, so if he put her up beforehand, she’d just win the POV and take herself off and be safe. If he doesn’t put her up, wins POV and backdoors her, Rachel will be out of the game and he will have his ONLY shot at the $500,000. The only person Adam can potentially win against in the final two is Jordan.

First of all, for those of you that don’t know, Tyrell is my boyfriend and we watch Big Brother together. I was on Team Daniele, he was on Team Rachel, etc. Anyway, a while ago, I got mad at him for watching it without me when I hadn’t gotten home from work yet, so he promised he’d wait for me from now on. “I won’t make that mistake again,” he said. LOL. So fast forward to tonight. After dinner, I push play on the PVR (which should play from the beginning) and it’s already past the POV… His face goes red and he’s like, “I only watched the veto competition.” He wanted to go to Pinkberry later… but suddenly, I’m too full for dessert ;)

Okay, onto the episode. Rachel is currently HOH and she has put Porsche and Kalia on the block for eviction. There still is a Veto Competition to come in this episode and Kalia & Porsche need to win the veto in order for either of them to stay in the game. Adam is working with Rachel and Jordan, so they’re all in cahoots to get rid of Porsche or Kalia. Most likely Kalia.

We finished off the last episode in the middle of an HOH competition where Rachel was in the lead with Adam following closely behind. In this episode, we pick up where we left off to learn that Rachel won the HOH competition and is back in power this week. Porsche and Kalia are certainly worried that they’ll be put up for eviction this week. If I were Rachel, that’s what I would do. Adam has NO chance of winning Big Brother.

Rachel shows everyone her HOH room, which is totally decorated a la “Brenchel”. After that, the deal making begins and Kalia & Porsche each go up separately to do what they can to stay in the game. In my opinion, no one can promise her anything because Rachel is the biggest threat in the house for the $500,000. The only way to get her out at this point is to backdoor her.

One of the funniest parts of this episode was listening to Rachel list all of the minor car accidents she’s been responsible for and watching Jordan laugh at her in disbelief. That wasn’t the only funny thing that happened in this episode…

Okay, here we go with another elimination. Adam & Shelly are on the block and since Porsche is HOH, only Kalia, Jordan, and Rachel will be voting. In essence, the “Jordan & Rachel” alliance will be deciding who goes home tonight and Kalia’s vote is there for fun. I personally hope they keep Shelly because Adam is boring and at least Shelly has played the game harder than he has. My gut is telling me that Shelly will be sent packing though as a payback for getting Jeff sent home. We’ll soon find out!

Also, I’m so excited to see Brendon, Daniele, and Jeff reunite (one by one) in the jury house. Three huge threats, eliminated one after the other. Love!

In this episode, we see Shelly doing whatever she can to stay in this game. She even tries for hours to get the fortune teller machine in the purple room to give her some kind of power. I don’t blame her for trying. She even tried to offer Rachel “past, present & future” family diamond ring as collateral for her word to not go after them next week if she stayed. Little did Rachel know that it was a cubic zirconia anyway (also known as a fake replica). Meanwhile, Adam promises to not vote for them if he keeps him. Where’s your diamond, Adam?

I was all mixed on what day it was, and to my delight I realized it was Wednesday and Big Brother was on! Yippee! This show is like crack. In Sunday’s episode, Porsche (who is HOH) opened Pandora’s Box and won $10,000 that she has to split with another houseguest (Kalia – who she secretly chose) and she has unleashed the duo twist back upon the house. That means, if she puts up Rachel & Jordan, since they are a duo if one of them wins POV, they both come down and Adam & Shelly (the only other option) have to go up.

Needless to say, Rachel is so stoked and so is Jordan. “This is our chance for redemption,” says Rachel. Clearly the producers want these two to stay a little longer, unleashing such a twist given the current situation in the house. Not gonna lie, I want them to stay a bit longer too.

The last week of Big Brother 13 has been insane, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. In last night’s episode, we got to see a little more of what happened leading up to last weeks double eviction – specifically, the hour and a half before it took place. Since Shelly told Rachel that Jeff threw the cornhole veto competition that got Brendon evicted, she of course confronted Jeff about it. He then talked to Shelly, Adam got involved, Shelly got paranoid and ended up digging herself into a hold. Essentially, her alliance with Jeff & Jordan could not be repaired after this discussion and Adam is a weasel. (That’s no reason for Shelly’s family to get death threats!)

As I’ve said before, Jeff is a major bully and in my opinion, Shelly was actually making a good move for herself – she just got busted doing it (just as Daniele did in the past). Jeff & Jordan wanted to get Daniele out because it was a good move for them, but keeping Daniele would have been a better move for Shelly so to each their own. Meanwhile, Adam does whatever he’s told and doesn’t have the balls to make any bold moves. He’s like the lion with no courage on The Wizard of Oz.
