“Ugly Betty” takes place in New York City, but is actually filmed on a lot in LA. It looks like when they start shooting the third season though, they’ll be filming in New York! A large reason for the said move is that New York offers a film tax credit which would save them oodles of money. As of yet no official word has been given confirming this move, but numerous sources are reporting it as fact. If true, up to 150 people working on the show could lose their jobs.

This week is the 100th episode celebration of “Dancing With The Stars” with the 5 final couples competing tonight to make it to the semi-finals. On Tuesday’s elimination night several past couples return to shake it for us.

Tonight each couple did two dances, again performing a ballroom and a Latin dance. Up first this week was the ballroom dances.

Kristy and Mark went first, dancing the quick step to some swing song I don’t know (WWII song for sure). Len thought it was great. Bruno said it was a good quick step with great detail and she will be in the final. Carrie Anne said she love that they dance to the judges, but felt they were a little out of sync at one point. They got a 29 with two 10s.

Mario and Karina danced the Viennese Waltz to that song “Nothing If I Ain’t Got You.” (might not be the real title, just one of those songs you know) Bruno said it was polished, distinguished, romantic and elegant. Carrie said it was nice and stiff as it should be, the lift they did was great. Len said tonight he was the most elegant he had seen him dance. They got a 27, all 9s.

Marissa and Tony danced the foxtrot to “Start Spreading The News.” Carrie loved how she entertained them all. Len said she had great posture and hold. Bruno said he loved it, but their moves weren’t quiet appropriate for a dance. They got a 25.

Jason and Edyta danced the tango to some Latin song I don’t know. Len said it was too much of an Argentine tango rather than a ballroom tango. Bruno said that’s where it was created, and he hates the two of them because they are so beautiful. He said they had never danced better. Carrie Anne said they brought a whole new dynamic to the dance, it was fantastic. They got a a 29, with two 10s.

Christian and Cheryl danced the tango to “Beat It.” Bruno said that was what a tango should be. Carrie Anne said nothing was wrong with it at all. Len said any problems from his arms was covered by the choreography. They got a 28, including one 10.

The second round was the Latin round.

Kristy and Mark danced the samba to some Latin song I don’t know. Carrie Anne said she didn’t know what to say, but she didn’t care for it, it was out of control and not as graceful. Len said it had speed, energy and spins, but lost a bit of the rhythm. Bruno said she was spinning beautifully eight times into a drop, they took the biggest challenges on. They got a 26.

Mario and Karina danced the jive to some 50s song I didn’t recognize. At the end there was unfortunately a failed lift. Len said it was too rough for him, no technique in the footwork. Bruno thought it was in the spirit of rock’n'roll, fast and fun. Carrie Anne said the wildness worked and it was great. They got a 26.

Marissa and Tony danced the mambo to some Latin song I don’t know. Bruno said she could do sexy, he wants more of it. He thought it was a beautiful mambo. Carrie Anne said she loves how she goes for it. She says she messed up a turn at the end though. Len said loved that she is now coming out and performed, but it was a little bit careful. They got a 25.

Jason and Edyta did the samba to a Latin song I don’t know (sorry!). Carrie said she appreciated his effort to be flamboyant, but it didn’t work. Len didn’t like it, he looked uncomfortable. Bruno called it a turkey, he was not focused or as good as he could be. They got a 23, the lowest score given this night!

Christian and Cheryl danced the mambo to some Latin song which of course I dont know. Len thought it was a fabulous job. Bruno was shocked at the things he could do with just one arm. Carrie thought he was definitely Latin and they were on fire. They got a 29, with two tens.

For the first time this season I voted, both online and with text messages. I’m afraid Marissa is going home this week, so I went in and voted for them as much as I could.

So let’s get, what in my opinion, was the filler storyline in this episode out of the way first. The nonsense between Susan, Mike, Carl and his “child-bride.” Mike and Susan went to attend a Lamaze class and ran into Carl and his new wife there. Carl kept making digs at Susan about how great his new wife was. He basically made her feel like she had ended up with a booby-prize in Mike. During a later class when they were alone, she lashed out at him saying she got it. However they opened up, had a heart to heart, and Carl pointed out she had a great guy in Mike, and that he wasn’t a great husband. This storyline did nothing for me this week, which is why I felt it was a filler storyline.

Bree was conflicted over Orson and their marriage, admitting to Katherine after he suffered a bit and realized how wrong what he did was, she’s probably take him back. Unfortunately Edie already has her sites set on him! She let him sleep a drunken night on her couch rather than go back to an apartment complex he hates, and Bree took issue, asking her not to do it again. Bree pointed out she has a habit of going for the rest of their leftover men. Go Bree, it’s so true. That of course ticked Edie off and she let Orson not only stay, but started kissing and making plays for him. Find your own man for once Edie! It seems a spying Bree found out what she was up to. I think Bree’s going to make Edie pay. I don’t know if Orson is long for this show anymore either after all that’s gone down.

Gabby and Carlos took in a boarder named Ellie (Justine Bateman) and Gabby soon noticed men coming and going at all hours and paying her money. Convinced she was whoring it out in their spare room, Gabby got her friendly neighborhood gays to help her get hard evidence on her. She had them try and solicit her, which of course backfired. Gabby was forced to come clean that she thought Ellie was hooking. Ellie’s excuse? She was running a tattoo shop to pay for college art classes. Gabby bought the line hook line and sinker. Hello, could she have not come up with a better excuse than that? Of course we got a glimpse of what was in her dresser and what she’s really doing . . . selling drugs! Just what Mike needs, a dealer down the street from him. Hopefully Mike does not meet Ellie!

Lynette learned this week that Satan, I mean Kayla, was the one who convinced the twins to start the fire. She felt Kayla needed counseling, but Tom of course didn’t. I hope Tom wakes up and sees his daughter is in fact Rosemary’s Baby and soon, before someone ends up dead. When Lynette took her to counseling anyway, the demon blackmailed her and said she’d tell the police what the twins did. Lynette should have told her go ahead sweety, as their older sister who gave them the idea you’d go down too! But she didn’t, she caved and took her home. Kayla then got her revenge, convincing the twins she had safely jumped off a roof with an umbrella. When they tried, one of them broke his arm. She’s the devil I tell you, call an exorcist and quick!

Finally Katherine got suspicious of Dylan constantly going out to meet some boy. Wayne told Dylan to tell her mom, and Dylan did, not realizing Katherine had spied and already found out who she was seeing. Wayne showed up to see Katherine and wow was it intense. Katherine stood behind her counter kneading dough as Wayne told her how he had changed, he wasn’t the same man anymore. She revealed he used to punch her, choke her, hit her so hard he’d lick her blood off his knuckles. She said she had changed too, she wasn’t scared of him, though she wondered if she could still make him angry like she used to. I was honestly sitting there thinking she was going to pull a gun out and blow him away! She didn’t and Wayne quietly left, though you could see he was fuming. I guess she still gets to him. This isn’t going to end pretty at all, I see someone dead before this season’s over with! Speaking of dead, Katherine didn’t seem to shocked that he wasn’t dead. So who or what is burried in the backyard?

Last night’s episode of “Brothers and Sisters” was tense, frustrating, aggravating and infuriating! I don’t think I’ve ever watched an episode that upset me as much as last night’s did.

First let’s get the boring story out of the way, Kitty and Robert’s plotline. Back to the doctor they went, who wanted to try harvesting more eggs from Kitty, but wanted to take a month off to let her body rest. Robert and Kitty decided to use that month, and her 48 hour fertile period, to have as much sex as possible and try things the old fashion way. Zzzzzzzzz.

Justin tried to avoid Rebecca like the plague and confided in Kevin about Rebecca and that for the moment there that she might not have been their sister, well he started having feelings for her. Kevin told him she was their sister and to stay away from her. Okay I find it somewhat odd that his first thoughts were basically “Wow your not my sister, so I can bang you now.” Ewwwwww! She was most likely your sister a minute ago and you weren’t thinking that! It’s like these feelings came out of no where. When Rebecca confronted him on being weird, he told her the truth. Upset, she ran off. Poor Justin thought he had repulsed her.

Rebecca and Holly had it out in this episode. Holly was moaning about David leaving and she never saw it coming. Rebecca unleashed holy hell on her mother, telling her she knew the truth, that David was her father. Holly then deduced Rebecca sent him away, but Rebecca said he left because he knew she loved the Walkers and it would make things more difficult. Holly got sick of the Walkers being thrown in her face and the way Rebecca treated her. Rebecca told her off, how they were more a family to her in a short year and Nora more a mother! Holly then ranted on and on about how she raised her on her own, she struggled and worked as a single mother. Rebecca shot back that she let William die thinking she was his daughter, she took all that money William left her in the will. Holly felt it was their money and they deserved it after what she has struggled through, unlike Nora who fell into money. Holly then told Rebecca she wouldn’t be treated like this anymore and kicked her out! Okay I have to say, Holly has some nerve! She struggled and worked to raise Rebecca? Seems to me William set her up in that house and gave her money! Poor Holly! Her playing the single mother and victim card didn’t work on me at all, it’s only made me see she’s still a beyotch!

Rebecca returned to Justin, who apologized and said he was over those weird feelings. She told him the truth, she’s not his sister. He then let her have it, saying she was a liar just like her mother! Uhg, why why why? I didn’t get Justin at all in this episode. At the end of the episode, Justin told Nora the truth about Rebecca.

Sarah, annoying me to no end, decided to cover for Saul and take the blame for his mistake. This meant she took crap from her mom, Kevin and Tommy, who you could see was probably secretly loving it because he always felt he should be running Ojai. I thought we’d have to put up with this forever, but fortunately Saul came forward to Nora, who of course told everyone. Nora apologized, but I wanted to see Tommy doing so! His smugness lately has irked me. Nora then had the idea to turn to Tommy and Holly’s orchard to save Ojai.

Tommy of course wanted to save the business, but Holly had reservations and told him to put the blame on her for saying no. She felt they were an upstart, they would go down with Ojai. Then however she came up with a plan that would work, a merger of the companies. Tommy would be co-president of Ojai with Sarah and in case they couldn’t agree, the new CEO Holly would break the tie. Sarah felt railroaded, but Nora pushed her to do it to save the company. I have to say Holly seems to be getting everything she wanted doesn’t she? Now she’s fricken CEO of Ojai and Tommy gets back in. Not liking this one bit at all. I have a feeling Sarah will be ousted or quit pretty soon! Sarah also seemingly gave Graham the boot at the end of the episode, using business speak saying it was time to go their separate ways and break off talks. Looks like we may have seen the last of him.

Saul went and got himself good and drunk and drove into a tree. He called Kevin to bail him out from the police station. He finally came out to Kevin saying he was a gay man, but he didn’t know how to be a gay man, and he wanted his entire life back . . . all those waisted years. Kevin then went home to Scotty and proposed for real, saying he realized how lucky he was to have Scotty while the rest of his family was falling apart, and he didn’t want to be like Saul looking back wanting lost years back. Scotty of course accepted. I’m shedding a tear for what could have been with Jason. *Sniff Sniff*
