Just a heads up, US Take Me Out and The Choice begin on Thursday night on FOX. One is likely to be better than the other.

Take Me Out is a carbon copy of the UK show right down to the catchphrases, Buzzerblog are suggesting.

In other news, The Million Pound Drop has an app out for iOS (Android to come). I’ll give it the once over over the weekend.

Well it would be remiss not to point out that Big Brother 2012 begins Tuesday night on Five (Auditions show 8pm, Launch show 9pm, Bit On The Side 10:45pm). The excitement level is basically non-existant as 10+ non-entities go into a house, and in a few months time one non-entity comes out with a large cheque. And then some more non-entities do it again for a shorter time, only this time they are celebrities!

And yet with little expectations I’ve got a gut feeling this might be quite a fun series. Nothing to back it up, and I probably won’t even watch it much past launch night, just a hunch that some interesting things might happen. Given that they’ve basically thrown some of the key concepts out of the window in the last few years, anything could happen.

One of the housemates will be decided by the viewers, Holy Moly’s Jamie East has selected three “wildcards” everyone will get to vote on tomorrow night. Exciting.

If its anything like last year, I’ll probably end up watching Bit On The Side more than the main show itself. To say it’s a bit crap is putting it mildly, but it’s got good hosts in Emma, Alice and Jamie, punk spirit and makes me laugh sometimes, and it’s usually on at the sort of time when there’s not much else on. And we like it when Pete Burns starts shouting at people and Jamie does his phone in.

Actually not a bad time for entertaining reality games, Amazing Race Australia has returned triumphantly and we’re also very much enjoying English translations of Dutch Mole.

I’ll always remember him best as the amazing Damon Killian from required viewing The Running Man.

I can’t embed this clip, so here’s a link.

It’s the The Voice final tonight on BBC1 at 7:20pm, so that’s exciting isn’t it? There is also a new episode of The Cube on at 8pm on ITV1

In other news, tomorrow is the grand final of Mix It Up Real Good – who will take the trophy after the big 8-game mix final? And even if you can’t win, you can still come and play for fun, 8pm on Pokerstars – make sure you’ve joined the Bother’s Bar Poker Club.

Next Sunday is the big Bother Series of Poker Grand Final, decided by a thrilling £22 entry superstack tournament – together with the league prizes being decided there will be hundreds of pounds flying around the table and YOU can try and grab a load even if you’ve never played a league game before. This is a 7:30pm start and you can register for it right now – in fact you’re positively encouraged to in case you forget the early start time and turn up too late. Again, make sure you’re signed up to Bother’s Bar’s Poker Club to play.

Have a good Jubilee weekend everyone!

Magic Numbers host Stephen Mulhern being lined up for The Great ITV1 Catchphrase Revival of 2012, reports are suggesting.

In other news, The Love Machine seems to be returning for a second series for Sky Living, despite the fact the first one was really boring.

Super soaraway series one success Red or Black films in a fortnight apparently, although I haven’t seen any audience call outs for it which is cutting it a bit fine. Edit: Here you are, thanks Lewis, I can’t make those dates so if anyone can and wants to write it up, please let me know.

Three things to look forward to, there.

Challenge have apparently bought the rights to Bruce’s Price is Right and… Bob’s Full House!

One of these things likely to be of more interest than the other.
