Well it basically boils down to:
- The Amazing Race (Sunday, CBS) – it’s the final! We’re backing Team Cowboy.
- Survivor (Thursday, CBS) – you couldn’t script this season better really, but I will be honest and suggest I’m looking forward to a Russell comeuppance moment. Might it happen this week? Go Team Pavarti!
Wow.
I looked at all the Divided episodes for the completed season- and actually, they gave more away in 23 episodes (and 23 teams) than they did in 30 episodes (and 33 teams) last season when it comes to percentage of possible winnings..

Not quite as spectacular as TAR and Survivor, but also on this week is the start of the not entirely expected second series of A Question of Genius.
One would expect that at least some of the flaws present in the first series will have been ironed out. Sadly for most, though, Kirsty Wark is still the host.
Another genuinely unwelcome visitor methinks…
Sorry to have to keep pointing such people out, but I am a bit of a fusspot when it comes to this sort of thing.
