    Good grief. Did the season finale of Dancing With the Stars keep us guessing and scratching our heads, or what? I mean, you'd think the instant dances would've thrown us off track a bit and made it easy to see who would wind up walking away with the mirror ball trophy -- but the final three couples all did an outstanding job.

    But wasn't it kind of strange that Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas wound up in fourth place instead of third...or even second? I didn't expect them to win the whole deal, but I kind of figured they'd wind up going further in the competition than Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff.

    And after hearing Aly came in fourth -- I really started getting apprehensive about who would wind up winning this thing.

    Don't get me wrong, I was a Jacoby fan this season for sure -- but I just didn't picture him as the champion of DWTS for whatever reason.

    Uhhhhh, can someone please explain to me what just happened during the freestyle performances on Dancing With the Stars? Because I'm sitting here crying -- which never, EVER happens when I watch this show. Like ever.

    Don't get me wrong, I enjoy tuning in each week and all and it's fun to watch the performances, but I'm simply not one of those people who "gets" dance.

    I never understood what the hype was all about -- that is, until I watched Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough's contemporary freestyle routine.

    To say that I'm speechless doesn't even cover it. (I'm NEVER speechless.) Their performance was, in a word, unbelievable.

    There's just one word to sum up tonight's episode of Mad Men. OK, not so much a word as an utterance: huh? The goings on at the as-yet-unnamed Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce/Cutler Gleason and Chaough mash-up made for some of the trippiest television yet. Don Draper even admitted he was, gasp, FEELING things! 

    Only one thing could make that happen.

    OMG, only two episodes left of Game of Thrones after tonight, this cannot be happening. In "Second Sons," this week marks the hour before probably one of the most epic, heartbreaking moments of the third season, the Red Wedding (as all fans of A Storm of Swords know).

    It's been an amazing season so far, and these last few episodes should be the best we've ever seen. This is why all fans of A Storm of Swords were trying to convince their friends to check out this season, and this season alone. And "Second Sons" did not disappoint.

    There's only so much filler I'm sure you're willing to take. There are some massive SPOILERS AHEAD if you haven't seen "Second Sons." Please proceed with caution. After all, the Internet is dark and full of spoilers.

    After three long years of bizarre deaths, vampires, werewolves, rebirths, ghosts, and doppelgangers, the gang of Mystic Falls finally gets to do something normal -- graduate high school!

    Tonight's episode of The Vampire Diaries wrapped up some of the season's biggest mysteries, like who will Elena choose now that she has her humanity back? Is Bonnie really dead? Will anyone ever take the cure? Is Silas no longer a problem?

    And even though we finally got the answers we were looking for, in true season finale fashion, there were a few cliffhangers that will leave us guessing until the fall!

    Needless to say, SPOILERS ahead!

    The semifinals results show tonight was also the 300th episode of Dancing With the Stars, so the stakes were high. Only four of the five couples made it through and into the finals next week. 

    Results aside, it was more entertaining than most results shows. The AT&T Spotlight Performance showcased 10-year-old dancer Sophia Lucia who was as adorable as she was talented. Somebody better get that girl a contract ASAP. We also saw The Wanted perform their hit, "Fill a Heart," and Avril Lavigne belt out her new single, "Here’s to Never Growing Up." Of course, there was the elimination too (SPOILERS AHEAD).

    Tonight we saw part 2 of the Teen Mom 2 finale special with Dr. Drew, and it couldn't have been more different from the first go-round. Gone was a still childish Jenelle and her tearful confessions about drug use. Instead we saw some real grownup moments from Leah Messer Calvert and Chelsea Houska, the two girls who got to sit on stage with the TV shrink.

    Calvert's husband, Jeremy Calvert, and ex-husband, Corey Simms, even managed to sit side-by-side on an MTV couch and say nice things about each other. In fact, Jeremy, who wasn't around when his wife first started her Teen Mom journey (and who wasn't a teen parent), has somehow turned out to be one of the most inspiring stars of the series.

    It was off to whine wine country this week for the ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Well, all of them except for Alexis Bellino, because no one was crazy enough to try and make that happen after the big gym-warming party fiasco.

    From the get-go Tamra Barney was whiny about Vicki Gunvalson's involvement in their business, Wines by Wives, which was the purpose of the trip. Of course, Gretchen Rossi was there egging Tamra on any chance she got. Vicki did seem a bit uninterested in the whole thing based on what we saw, but she also was there all alone while everyone else was coupled up and was clearly having a hard time dealing with that. Can you blame her?

    When Vicki announced she had to leave, Tarma was pissed. Instead of telling her they needed to talk or schedule a business meeting where they could sit down and calmly discuss things, Tamra -- once again -- flipped out.

    Hard to believe that after "The Bear and the Maiden Fair," there are only three episodes left in an incredible third season of Game of Thrones. Just three! I'm already beginning to dread the day when the countdown to season 4 begins ...

    Many characters have had some ridiculous moments so far, but this week, a lot of their fates hang in the balance, and who knows how they're going to wrap it all up (well, sort of, since A Storm of Swords has been split into two seasons) in the next couple episodes. So much went on plot-wise this week that it should set us up for a pretty fantastic finale.

    Let's get to it, shall we? Of course, obviously, as I've said every single time: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. Don't read on if you haven't seen "TBATMF." Just don't.

    SPOILERS. Stop here if you haven't watched tonight's episode.

    WOW! is really all I have to say after this episode of The Vampire Diaries (as per usual). Who thought that Bonnie would finally be able to control her magic and really be able to drop the veil between the living and the dead. We were finally able to become reunited with some of of our favorite Mystic Falls regulars, Grams, Alaric, Jeremy and Lexie!

    Elena gets her humanity back, and we are reunited with some of our favorite series regulars. It can't get much better than that, right?

    Not so fast ...
