Remember to zoom in, out and around on the map—with so much happening in each episode, it's easy to miss a map point.

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, the competition started getting fierce. The Globetrotters and the hot guys fought over a taxi and as they neared the pit stop, Flight Time and Dan fell on a muddy boardwalk and each one pointed fingers at the other for playing dirty. The beautiful blonds also foiled the Americas by promising to have their cabbie send them taxi, which they didn't do. Despite all of the underhandedness, it was Pinky and the Brain who were eliminated, mostly because Pinky had no idea what a candelabra was.

Four teams remain. What other lowdown tricks will the racers do to make it to the final three? Will they go too far to win?

A First Look At 'Fly Girls,' Bringing Juicy Flight Attendant Drama To The CW

JetSetCD — 2009-11-20T08:33:42-05:00

Let the buzz begin over the newest reality show-drama to hit the boob tube: "Fly Girls," a "docu-series" that will follow the day-to-night, sky-to-ground lives of five flight attendants for Virgin America. The teaser commercial just leaked last night on YouTube (we've posted it above), and already we're salivating for the start.

Now we know that Virgin America is bringing the sexy back to air travel, but this is the stuff of pure vice. For those of you familiar with the MTV shows "The Hills" and "The City," "Fly Girls" might feel familiar since the show is from the same executive producer, and we can already see the similarities through this brief spot alone. Still, it won't be all clubbin' and kissin' for the girls, as the CW is saying that the show is to be a "360-degree look at the charismatic jet-setting flight attendants on America’s hippest new airline." Does this mean we'll get to watch them explaining to cranky passengers how to connect to the in-flight WiFi?

The goodies on the show, after the jump.

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, our favorite travelers faced one of the hardest roadblocks in the show's history, the find-the-flag-in-the-gazillion-bales-of-hay challenge. The roadblock made all of the teams struggle—for hours. The hot guys had a bitchfest, yelling back and forth, with Dan screaming orders to his bro Sam. Despite the fighting, the guys managed to finish the task. But Pinky and the Brain had a harder time. They arrived last at the pit stop, but lucky for them, it was a non-elimination challenge.

Five teams remain. Will the hot guys' sibling issues hurt them in the race? Will Pinky and the Brain get their stuff together and avoid coming in last in this next round?

Burbank: How to Get Tickets To 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'

Heidi Atwal — 2009-11-11T12:24:25-05:00

Few people saw Ellen DeGeneres' second-coming as an entertainer when her talk show launched in 2003. Now, though, she's adored by many for her signature dance, relaxed interviewing style, and ability to deliver a killer commencement speech, making tickets to Ellen seemingly impossible to come by. The best you can do is try your luck via the booking process, which we're going to walk you through step-by-step. Demand for certain days and times, and your degree of luck, will ultimately determine whether you'll sit in as an audience member.

First, you'll have to consult the online calendar to see if there are open dates in the near future. Already this is problematic. We tried scrolling across dates in December and January and weren't allowed to click on any, which tells us that they're either not open for request yet, or they're full.

'This Is the Worst Thing I've Ever Done in My Life'

When we last saw The Amazing Race, the teams jetted off to the Netherlands, where they had to don traditional garb, including clogs. Hilarity ensued when Dan and Flight Time put on dresses and bonnets. Mrs. America lost her composure when she had trouble in an easy counting challenge and the Americas lagged in every step of the race. But even after incurring a 30-minute penalty, they avoided elimination. That's because after switching back and forth on the physically intensive detour options, the poker pals decided to quit the race.

Five teams are left. Will the hot guys score their second consecutive win? Will Mrs. America's lack of counting abilities make her hubby reluctant to count on her?

Los Angeles: How To Score Tickets To Chelsea Lately

Heidi Atwal — 2009-11-03T14:27:38-05:00

E!'s Chelsea Handler is a boisterous blonde with a dirty mouth, a cutting sense of humor, and a history of deviant activity on the Oxygen show Girls Behaving Badly. These days, she's known for dishing on topics ranging from sex to ridiculous reality television in her books, standup routines, and her late night television show Chelsea Lately. Conan and Dave aren't the only ones ruling TV after hours, with Chelsea having gained a following for being brash, honest, and one of those non-parelil females that refuses to be prim and proper.

If you're a fan from the Los Angeles area or will be visiting soon, requesting tickets to Chelsea Lately is slightly less annoying than the process we've experienced with other late night shows. The reason is simple: you'll know right away whether you've landed a coveted bunch of passes (up to four in one party) rather than being thrown into a lottery pool where nothing is guaranteed. Obsessive planners should appreciate this.

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, it was a close finish. Mika was too scared to go down a six-story water slide—despite Canaan's attempts to shove her down—and the Globetrotters pulled out the psych-out playbook, got inside her head and slided down to victory. Meanwhile, the poker pals-hot guys alliance was stronger than ever, with the teams helping each other out, and the beautiful blonds scored their second consecutive win. Six teams remain. Will the beautiful blonds continue their winning streak? Which team will get psyched out in this leg of the race?
