The rules and points scoring will go up later today, and the forms soon after the final 12 (OR ARE THEY???) are released. Oh, <strong>The X Factor<\/strong> is also on as well, variously.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Amazing Race <\/strong>(Sunday, CBS): I went to Stonehenge, and all I got was a lousy watermelon right in the face. This was hilarious, because we all knew it was coming but the editors were happy to play the &#8220;will it\/won&#8217;t it?&#8221; card for as good five minutes. <em>The Amazing Race<\/em> also represents the only time people get excited about the UK road network.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Only Connect <\/strong>(8:30pm, Monday, BBC4): Fantasy Writers vs Bridge Players, it says here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>71 Degrees North <\/strong>(9pm, Tuesday, ITV1): It&#8217;s cold, apparently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Survivor: Nicaragua <\/strong>(Wednesday, CBS): Episode two&#8217;s epic Tribal Council not withstanding, I&#8217;m not quite feeling this one yet. Hopefully this will change.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Challenge: Cutthroat<\/strong>\u00a0(Wednesday, MTV US): It&#8217;s not usual to advertise an MTV show, but having watched the last season of The Challenge I think I will bill this one &#8211; sure it&#8217;s mainly good looking\u00a0young people getting drunk and arguing in a house, but the tasks are on the whole fun and quite demanding. This season unfortunate contestants will be sent to The Gulag to fight for survival. Which is tasteful. It should be available from the usual sorts of places.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Apprentice<\/strong> (9pm, Wednesday, BBC1):\u00a0Sir Lord Alan Sugar is back with Nick Hewer and\u00a0new adviser Karren Brady in tow.\u00a0I&#8217;m going to be honest, <em>The Apprentice<\/em> is a massive blind spot for me. I know its the sort of thing I think I&#8217;m likely to enjoy, and do tend to enjoy it when I watch it but I&#8217;ve just never got round to doing it properly. I will try and make the effort this time round though.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What else is getting YOU excited?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not much new stuff to get excited about this week, but let&#8217;s go through the motions anyway: The Cube (6:45pm, Sunday, ITV1): This week, a man attempts to win \u00a3250,000 by playing EGGBOIL, where he must\u00a0successfully boil an egg to a required consistancy and all without the aid of a clock.
