What to Watch on Thursday: A tar heel on "Big Brother 11"

Big Brother 11 (8pm, CBS) - The 11th season premiere of "Big Brother" will introduce us to the 12 contestants, including a 22-year-old woman from Matthews, N.C. Jordan Lloyd doesn't seem nearly sneaky or conniving enough to get very far here, but we'll be pulling for her.

Samantha Who? (8pm, ABC) - More new episodes from this cancelled-too-soon sitcom. Samantha is  hired to lead Winston Funk's charitable foundation and hires Andrea as her legal counsel. Which is a bad move since all Andrea does is work on her wedding plans to the gay basketball star. In a second episode airing at 8:30, Sam and Todd go on a "first date" and Andrea goes on a reality tv show about celebrity weddings. 

The Real Housewives of New Jersey: The Lost Footage (9pm, Bravo) - That's pretty self-explanatory. Expect more footage of The Crazy One (right) complaining about how she has been victimized by The Blonde One (not pictured).

Also, new episodes of Burn Notice (9pm) and Royal Pains (10pm) on USA.
