Well this week is very exciting because it’s the Bother’s Bar Festival of Paul Ross (I know what you’re thinking: “Fabulous! *****”). As the less well-regarded gameshow-and-fun based website out there, we TOTALLY know how it feels to be Paul Ross and therefore feel uniquely qualified to host this fantastic celebration – and it will be a celebration. Look out for a Twitter competition on Monday (you need to be following @BothersBar) and a website competition during the week, I will have TWO genuine Paul Ross 300-piece jigsaws to give away. There is no cash alternative.

Don’t forget Fantasy X Factor managers if you want to change (or indeed make if you had forgotten) a prediction for tonight’s double elimination that now is the time to do so. What else we got?

• Million Dollar Mind Game – Fingers crossed someone sticking it up on Youtube becomes a regular thing. (Sunday, ABC)
• Barrier – Philip Schofield presents. (7pm, Sunday, ITV1)
• Brucie’s on QVC flogging his new album. (9am and 4pm, apparently, Monday, QVC)
• Deal or No Deal – This starts on Challenge from Monday at 8pm from episode one, and this month it sounds as though they’re going to be doing two episodes a day and repeating them the following afternoon AND doing an omnibus at the weekends. I suppose that’s one way to get through 1700+ episodes. Interesting to see how it affects the C4’s show’s ratings at all. (8pm, Monday, Challenge)
• Only Connect – First semi-final so don’t expect to get any questions right. It’s the Listeners vs the Antiquarians. Incidentally they’ve been filming things for the upcoming Connecting Wall night, likely to be the third best theme night on television this year. (8:30pm, Monday, BBC4)
• Fort Boyard: Ultimate Challenge – I still have to catch up the this week’s episodes just gone, I believe the grand final is on Monday as part of a double-bill. Of course, if you don’t fancy Youtube and Disney branding, it’s on CITV in January.
• Sorority Girls – This might be quite interesting, UK uni girls attempt to join a US sorority thing by taking part in initiation tests. With sexy results, if some of the videos on the internet I’ve heard about are anything to go by. (9pm, Tuesday, E4)
• Who Wants to be a Celebrity Millionaire Remembrance Special – Not live, so no excuse for not fitting everything in. No viewer competition either, but Hugh Bonneville, Melanie Sykes and John Thomson will be teaming up with members of the armed forces for charity. (8pm, Wednesday, ITV1)
• Big Brother – It’s the live final! And they’ve made it even more exciting by doing something silly and Endemol-esque with the prizemoney. They really should have made it half a mill like was originally suggested, that would have grabbed people’s attention. (9pm, Friday, C5)

I think I might start adding videos of Bother’s Bar favourite El Gran Juego de Oca to the ends of Boards of Excitement to make them even more exciting. Thanks to punter Chris M Dickson for alerting me to this one. It’s got Mr T in it! The crazy damn fool!
