What To Watch On TV: Tuesday Edition

America's Got Talent @ 9pm
It's week two of the new season of this talent show, which gives performers from all over the country -- from violin players to ventriloquists -- the chance to win a million bucks. Jerry Springer serves as host, while actor David Hasselhoff, music biz whiz Sharon Osbourne, and U.K. TV personality Piers Morgan serve as the judges who get to decide which aspiring star has more talent than the rest.

Wipeout @ 8pm
If you like to see people bang their heads, fall on their hind parts and deal with all sorts of comic mayhem, this is your show. Each week, 24 contestants try to navigate an extreme obstacle course, and the most successful participant receives a $50,000 prize at season's end while everyone else will wipe out. Among the contestants providing the thrills and spills tonight are a deputy sheriff, a pastor, a go-go dancer, a masseuse, a waitress, a car-show model, a credit manager and a handyman.

Hell's Kitchen @ 9pm
Sure Corey, Petrozza and Christina are thrilled to be rid of the trouble-making Jen, but there's no time to celebrate as the three of them have to buckle down and get more serious than ever since Chef Ramsay's final decision -- which will change the winner's life forever -- is fast approaching. Tonight good old Gordon surprises the final 3 with an invitation to join him and a few special guests for a breakfast he prepared himself. But the meal turns out to be more business than pleasure when Ramsay asks the chefs to recreate the signature dish they just ate. Later at dinner service, Chef Ramsay gives each of the final 3 chefs a shot at running the hot plate. When Gordon and his sous chef purposely start sabotaging dinner to see how the chefs react, he gets some insight to how his protégés handle pressure on the job.

30 Days @ 10pm
Morgan Spurlock begins a two-week stint as a culture-war correspondent with tonight's dispatch from a farm outside Ypsilanti, Mich., where a University of Eastern Michigan communication professor, his gay partner and their four adopted sons welcome a Mormon mother of two (boys, also adopted, and she's an adoptee herself) who opposes gay adoption. Will their month together change her mind? She sees early on that her hosts are loving and skilled parents. She also sees some awful places in nearby Detroit where kids who aren't adopted can end up. But same-sex parenting, she believes, "is going against God." Next week: gun control.
