  Hi! nbsp;  I might be going to Chicago tomorrow with my mom! nbsp;  I've only been to Illinois once in my life, nbsp; and that was for an hour in September,  2001. nbsp;  My mom wants to go down to Illinois to see my aunt,  and I might be able to go too. nbsp;  I asked my boss if I can take off work on Sunday so that I can go down with her. nbsp;
 He told me that he'll get back to me because he has to find someone to work for me.
nbsp;
 I'm crossing my fingers,  hoping that I can get that day off.
nbsp;
 If I do get the day off,  we're heading down tomorrow.
nbsp;
 I hope I can get my neighbor,  who's also watching Big Brother 5,  to tape it when it airs on Thursday and Saturday.  Last night,  I saw a commercial while I was watching Last Comic Standing,  and it reported that the second season of NBC's " The Apprentice"  will begin airing on Thursday,  September 9!
nbsp;
 I didn't get to watch the first season ( well,  I did get to see the premiere episode)  but my cousin says that it was awesome.
nbsp;
 His favorite contestant was Omarosa Manigault- Stallworth!
nbsp;
 I'm not sure if I'm going to be watching it because it's probably going to be on while CBS's " Survivor:  Vanuatu"  is on.
nbsp;
 Reality TV World has announced that the new season of Survivor will begin airing on Thursday,  September 16,  at 7: 00 c/ t.
nbsp;
 Interestingly,  the site also names some of the contestants.

here .  Anyways,  it's time to fill you in on what happened on Last Comic Standing and Big Brother 5.  Big Brother 5:  Lori,  Will,  and Karen plotted to have Holly evicted.
nbsp;
 However,  Jase won the Power of Veto ( PoV)  and he used it to take Holly off the nominee list,  forcing Marvin ( who is Head of Household)  to choose another person to put up for eviction.
nbsp;
 Marvin decided to put up Lori's best friend Karen up for eviction.
nbsp;
 It's obvious that either Lori -  who's currently up for eviction -  or Karen will be evicted on the Thursday,  July 22,  episode.
nbsp;
 I predict that Lori will get evicted because she already won $ 10, 000.
nbsp;
 Scott and Diane are becoming fast enemies.
nbsp;
 Scott insulted Diane in yesterday's episode,
 making her cry.
nbsp;
 I hope he gets evicted soon.  Last Comic Standing:  Kathleen Madigan,  Gary Gulman,  Tammy Pescatelli,  Alonzo Bodden,  and John Heffron have all made it into the final five!
nbsp;
 Tammy won immunity,  reserving a spot for herself there.
nbsp;
 The eliminated comics ( Bonnie McFarlane,  Todd Glass,  Ant,  and Jay London)  all voted with the current comics for whom they wanted to see do a Head- to- Head ( H2H)  match.
nbsp;
 John and Corey Holcomb had to do the H2H match.
nbsp;
 But,  there was a twist:  the H2H match was actually going to be a H2H2H match!
nbsp;
 Meaning that another remaining comic had to go H2H with both John and Corey,  also facing a possible elimination.
nbsp;
 The comics all voted again,  and Alonzo had the most votes.
nbsp;
 John,  Corey,  and Alonzo all did their acts in front of the audience,  and Alonzo garnered 55%  of the votes.
nbsp;
 John got 38%  of the votes from the audience,  leaving Corey with the remaining 7%
nbsp;
 Corey was eliminated from the contest.
nbsp;
 Now,  the show's format seems to be similar to that of American Idol's.
nbsp;
 The comics have to perform their acts to America ( maybe even LIVE)  and WE get to vote for whom we like best.
nbsp;
 We watch the comics perform their acts and vote for whom we liked best on Tuesdays at 7:
00 c/
t,
 and the winners will be revealed on Thursdays at 8:
00 c/ t.
nbsp;
 LCS's Wild Card Show will air at 8:
00 c/
t on Tuesday,  July 27.
