How To Look Good Naked @ 10pm
Tell-it-like-it-is host Carson Kressley is back for Season 2 of this British import reality series in which women of all shapes and sizes are taught to shed their self-loathing ways without resorting to extreme dieting or cosmetic surgery. Under the guidance of Carson -- who's always armed with an arsenal of fashion and beauty secrets -- these women will hopefully learn to love their mirror reflections. But can they transform their negative views of their bodies into positive ones?
Wipeout @ 8pm
Another crop of contestants, including a dog walker, traffic reporter, college student, and gymnastics coach, throw caution to the wind and take on the course tonight. They'll battle the Wrecking Ball Swing, Slippery Snakes, Barrel Spill, and the Bareback Killer Surf, (and take plenty of spills along the way) as they compete for a $50,00 grand prize. Our money's on the gymnastics coach.
From G's to Gents @ 10pm
Now that the guys have checked out their new digs, it's time to dump their old rags. Designer Ozwald Boateng swings by to critique the contestants' clothing and help them create new looks appropriate for a visit to a country club, a business lunch and cocktails with a special lady. Now if they can only get invited to those types of things!

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.
