Teens audition to join the High School Musical family and The OC’s Slade wants you to date his ex.
Just what I needed, another show that makes me cry! This time it’s “High School Musical: Get in the Picture.” Think of it as “American Idol” for teens. Talent scouts are scouring the country looking for 12 kids who will compete in “High School Musical” boot camp with the hopes of becoming the next big Disney star. It’s heartwarming, it’s fun to watch and it’s heartbreaking to see these kids pinning all of their hopes and dreams on one audition only to be told no. The second episode is on tonight, so don’t miss it.
Last night was also the near-finale episodes of “Design Star” and “The Next Food Network Star.” The chefs had to whip up a Las Vegas buffet while the designers had to redo a room for a family member (yikes!) The Food Network contestants fared a bit better overall with all three of them making it to the finale, but on “Design Star” Trish was sent packing for no other reason than the fact that someone had to pull the short straw.
Now let’s look at. . .
Tonight on TV
ABC is looking good tonight with three new shows, “High School Musical: Get in the Picture,” “Wanna Bet,” and “The Mole.” “Wanna Bet” is a game show where celebs bet on a contestants ability to pull off a zany stunt. Kind of like “The Gong Show” meets “World Poker Championship.”
