Princess Beatrix's days of enjoying the regal life are numbered unless her only daughter, Princess Alexandra, makes a good impression on a distant cousin when he pays a surprise visit to their palace. Prince Albert has searched all over Europe for a bride, and he's bored by the courtship routine. He is more interested in the estate's dairy than Alexandra's rose garden. Then he starts playing football with the tutor and Alexandra's brothers. Invite the tutor to the ball that night and watch how gracefully Alexandra dances with him.

Pint-Size Racer Does Battle

On The Amazing Race 5, Charla Faddoul (along with her cousin Mirna Hindoyian) proved that just because she's small doesn't mean she's not a force to be reckoned with. At 4 feet tall (due to a form of dwarfism), she carried a 55-lb. side of beef half a mile and survived a run-in with an electric fence. Now she's back on Battle of the Network Reality Stars (premiering tonight at 9 pm/ET), Bravo's newly revamped version of the '70s series.

Did you notice that there is a theme of pretty people on tonight's programming? Interesting that Monday night TV in the summer has become a beacon for the attractive. Also, I can't help but think of that HBO special a few years ago about Swan... it just makes me wonder if there are stage parents who prep these girls their whole life for a pageant like this one. That aside, I was going to pick on the high pitched voices on some of these girls, but if you've ever listened to our podcast, I can't really talk. I'm at least a decade older that all these girls and I still sound like I'm 12. Four of the judges are from current or upcoming NBC programs... subtle. I did appreciate the juxtaposition of the constant Biggest Loser commercials that were interspersed between the teeny teenagers in bikinis and dresses. I actually start to feel sorry for the girls though when they have to strut around to this badly synthesized music. Gracefull
