SHOULD WE CALL THE SURVIVING CONTESTANTS "THE ALLOTED"? Watched On the Lot tonight, which is what Fox wanted, giving it the prime post-Idol slot, and it was good enough for us to decide to choose the season pass for now. While we've already had our Brett Ratner quotient filled for the week, it's good to see no-bullshit judges like Carrie Fisher and Garry Marshall involved in something like this, and the production values and storytelling are just as good as you'd expect from a Mark Burnett production.

Chelsea Handler is an odd choice to host this show. Her essay collection My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands is viciously funny and undeniably raunchy ... and so I don't know what she's doing in a role where she seems de-fanged. We shall see.

e.t.a. Wow, Tom Shales really did not like this show.
