TV: Thursday Hot List

For fans of Survivor, tonight the 20th edition of the show kicks off with something pretty darn special. Survivor: Heroes vs Villains brings together all your favorite naughty and nice castaways from the show’s history for the ultimate test of, well, you guessed it—survival. The action takes place in Samoa and among the “heroes” are Rupert Boneham and Colby Donaldson and the “villains” feature Russell Hantz and “Boston” Rob Mariano.

Okay, so while we’re on the subject of great reality TV—are you watching this season of Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew? If you’re not—stop what you’re doing and set your DVR right now. Those “stars” trying to get sober include former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, her abusive ex Tom Sizemore, the infamous Mackenzie Phillips and former NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman. Dennis completely denies that he has a problem and claims he’s only there because the courts made him. Let’s see what happens tonight when former celeb rehabber Brigitte Nielsen stops by to inspire the patients—and possibly gets Dennis to finally admit that he has a problem!
