The air was moist with sexual tension (and sea salt) on tonight's Survivor. As Amanda confronted James about taking too many bananas, their discussion went in a decidedly flirty direction. Something tells us those aren't just friendly smiles.

Last night's American Idol contained some of the worst performances in the show's history. And with "mentors" like Miley Cyrus—who just butchered her performance of "When I Look At You"—it's not hard to see why. Video inside.

Two weeks ago, Ryan Seacrest finally grew some balls and confronted Simon Cowell on American Idol for his harsh judgments of contestants. Yesterday, it happened again (and it was awkward/full of sexual tension). Tonight, Cowell fought back. Video inside.

Tonight, the new season of The Celebrity Apprentice premiered. Video of the episode's two standout moments—in which Rod Blagojevich was caught in a lie and Donald Trump argued with Cyndi Lauper about how "disgusting" Rosie O'Donnell is—is inside.

Tonight, Project Runway's designers attempted to summon Captain Planet. While standing on the roof of the Atlas building and balefully gazing onto greener pastures, Tim informed the contestants that this week's look was to be inspired by the four elements.

Tonight on American Idol, when Kara DioGuardi wasn't busy saying things that she should shut up about, Ellen DeGeneres took the opportunity—after resident hot thang Tim Urban's performance—to get out of her seat and hug him. Video inside.

Last month, we told you that Victoria Beckham was the worst American Idol judge ever. And like Richard Lawson predicted, we were wrong, because Kara DioGuardi is absolutely, unequivocally, indescribably worse than Posh. Or anyone. Inside, proof from tonight's episode.

It's no secret that Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell bicker like a married couple on nearly every episode of American Idol, but it's never earnest. Tonight—after Cowell harshly judged excessively smiley finalist Haeley Vaughn—that all changed. Video inside.

After two Chile-riffic episodes, the teams finally made their way to another country! All they needed was to take a "scenic, six-hour" bus ride through the Andes into Bariloche, Argentina. And the challenges had the cowboys written all over them.

Oh, Johnny. Dear, dear Johnny Weir. You just skated the routine of your life at the Olympics. It was fabulous, as always. Flawless, too. And even though the judges screwed you, we won't forget how great you were. Video, inside.

Tonight marked the start of the second go-round of RuPaul's Drag Race, which attempts to find "The Next Drag Superstar." And while the entire episode was fierce, honey, two moments stood out: a windy-as-hell photoshoot and a lip-sync battle royale.

There is nothing—nothing—more American than McDonald's. So would weird, less-American competitors please stop trying to overtake McDonald's dominance? Soon, Subway will have more stores than McD's. What pansy message does this send to the world? Americans eat cucumbers?!?

Old things are worthless in this computer world of the future! Look at old, venerable magazine titles. Life? Gone. The Saturday Evening Post? Ha. But the Sporting News—the throwback, stat-filled, serious sports magazine that started publishing in 1886—is trying to stage a comeback against the dominant glossies of today like ESPN Magazine. The Sporting News' three-pronged revival strategy: A digital newsletter; more (ghostwritten?) columns from retired sports stars (Troy Aikman speaks!); and a new column by the soon-to-be-former Deadspin.com cult figure Will Leitch. Hey, one of those might be beneficial!

After weighing the comments in response to our post yesterday, we've picked a winning slogan for the upcoming Virgin Mobile Canada ad featuring Barack Obama. As you'll recall, the company already cranked out a sexy Spitzer scandal ad, and Obama is the next man on their schedule. They certainly didn't ask for any input on the slogan, but we decided to give them some anyhow. From you, and for free! There's no better deal. Two runners up, the winner, and our email to Virgin Mobile Canada corporate communications (as promised), below.

Level 3 has cut more than 50 percent off the prices they charge for "content distribution" — the premium Internet service charged to online video purveyors and other bandwidth-intensive sites. It's a blow to competitors Limelight Networks and Akamai. Because Level 3 owns its own telecom backbone, they can afford to undercut the competition. We love ourselves a good price war. [GigaOm]
