What to Watch on Thursday: New "Big Brother" gets moley

Big Brother 12 (8pm, CBS) - The twelfth installment of "Big Brother" begins tonight. The  house guests are introduced and we learn that one of them is a saboteur whose sole mission is to wreak havoc in the house. So it's sort of a "Big Brother" meets "The Mole" this time around. Who will it be?

Rookie Blue (9pm, ABC) - The police department throws a "Fite Night" charity event, and Andy faces a tough decision regarding a domestic violence victim.

Boston Med (10pm, ABC) - A neurosurgeon prepares for a risky surgery removing a cancerous tumor from a man's sinus cavity. Also, a first year surgery resident attempts his first appendectomy and discusses dating prospects with a colleague.

Bethenny's Getting Married? (10pm, Bravo) - This is it: wedding day.

Ace of Cakes (10pm, Food) - Duff builds his tallest cake ever, modeled after an Egyptian pharaoh, but transporting it turns out to be a huge problem.

The Ultimate Merger (10pm, TV One) - Chef G. Garvin helps the bachelors with a cooking challenge, and ends up clashing with one of them. I'm still trying to figure out why any of these men want to date Omarosa to start with.

"The Amazing Race": A finale with results that didn't surprise

That's not to say it wasn't exciting.

In fact, it was pretty close, and at more than one point, it could have been anyone's game.

But I suppose the inevitable is called inevitable because it's inevitable.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd is all grown up


And her graduation gift is $500,000!!!

That's right, our girl from Matthews went all the way, winning Big Brother 11. (She said spending time in the Big Brother house without her family made her feel like a grown-up.)

She beat Kevin in the final part of the HOH competition, then ousted him from the house. (She felt awful!)

And then, in the final vote, she won 5 to 2 with Jessie, Lydia, Michele, Jeff and America giving her their votes.

What to Watch on Tuesday: NC woman makes it to Big Brother finale

Biggest Loser (8pm, NBC) - Tonight is the season premiere and three of the sixteen folks on the show are from NC (Antoine Dove, Daniel Wright, and Tracey Yukich). They'll be working to lose weight and get back on the healthy track, and we'll be recapping the show, so check back with us tomorrow!

Big Brother 11 (9pm, CBS) - It's finally over! Jordan Lloyd (right) and Kevin compete for HoH and the winner gets to evict one person from the house. Then jury members question the final two and select a winner. Of course we're hoping Jordan, from Matthews, N.C., wins it all, but even if she doesn't, she's done amazingly well. Good job, Jordan.

Shaq Vs. (9pm, ABC) - Shaq takes on Olympic swimming machine Michael Phelps. Phelps will be heavily handicapped to give Shaq a prayer.

The Jay Leno Show (10pm, NBC) - Jay has Michael Moore, Tom Cruise, and Cameron Diaz.

Flipping Out (10pm, Bravo) - Jeff falls ill and accuses Zoila of poisoning him, so Jenni has to take over for him on job sites.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd has a good memory

And it kicked in just when she needed it!

She lost the rolling log HOH part one contest, after Kevin told her to shake to stay warm (in the rain, wind, and snow), believing that it would distract her and get her off her game.

It worked and Jordan promptly fell off the log.

What to Watch on Thursday: "Vampire Diaries" premieres on The CW

Big Brother (8pm, CBS) - Three contestants are remaining and the final HOH is selected. The HOH will evict one person and then it's down to two. Come on, Jordan! So close...

Vampire Diaries (8pm, CW)  - This new series should be a pretty hot commodity this fall. Vampires are all the rage right now, and CW's teen-friendly "Vampire Diaries" is actually pretty good. An orphaned high school student finds herself in a love triangle with two new vampires at her school: the "nice" one (Stefan Salvatore played by Paul Wesley), and his "evil" brother Damon (at left, played by  Ian Somerhalder who was Boone from "Lost"). And where you have vampires, you have dead bodies. There are plenty of those in the first episode.

Supernatural (9pm, CW) - Season five opens with Lucifer being released from Hell and arriving on Earth. Sam and Dean learn that Castiel was killed by the archangels.

Big Brother: Could Jordan Lloyd actually win this thing?

It seems possible.

With this live show, the houseguests have been in the house 66 days, and our girl Jordan has made it to the final four. And my summer has slipped away in a Big Brother haze.

Really, how many of you on day 10, 12, 25, even 50 thought that she would be this close?

Honestly, I thought I'd be done blogging about her adventures by now. But our girl Jordan has become the cockroach of my TV life. She's done Matthews proud.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd is not a supermodel


That became clear during the luxury competition.

The 4 remaining houseguests had to split up in teams of two, and in separate rooms find matching articles of clothing -- aiding each other by shouting through the wall -- put said clothes on, and then pose in the 'store' window.

Jordan's signature pose: Stunned statue. She did the same, stand ram-rod straight, look dazed pose each time.

Bless her heart.

Big Brother: No movie kiss for Jordan Lloyd

That's the only thing our girl Jordan and Jeff had to look forward to on this, THE DAY THEY NEVER WANTED TO SEE HAPPEN.

Knowing they'd both be on the block, Jeff promised that if he went, he'd give Jordan a dramatic kiss by the door.

They even practiced. In bed. Jeff suggested a nasty kiss but Jordan didn't think that was appropriate for a live show.

What to Watch on Thursday: Happy Trails for Jordan Lloyd?

Big Brother (8pm, CBS) - We could be singing "Happy Trails" to Matthews, N.C.'s own Jordan Lloyd tonight. She's up for eviction and things are looking dicey for her. Tune in tonight to see how America votes.

Ace of Cakes (10pm, TLC) - A bride and groom both order surprise cakes for each other on the day of their wedding rehearsal. It's a win-win for rehearsal guests. Also, Elena makes a cake shaped like a human torso for a medical grad student.

Real Housewives of Atlanta (10pm, Bravo) - Kim gets a new nanny, hopefully one who won't tell Kim's children that they are going to hell. Then she tries to make amends with Lisa (next up - peace in the Middle East). NeNe goes full diva directing a RHoA photo shoot, and Kandi cancels her engagement party because of a family tragedy (please don't be Uncle Bebow!).
