Not every television in the country was tuned in to the Academy Awards last night. Some actually aired the following reality TV shows...

Rock of Love: Bret Michaels personally wakes the girls up, and then they get a note for today's challenge, all about being a cowgirl. Catherine has done barrel riding all her life. That old lady is just full of surprises. -- Buddy TV

Big Brother: James came up with Operation Condor for his HOH week. As he put it: "The condor swoops in and takes the top shelf." While the name has military flair, we're pretty sure it was just an excuse to make bird noises. James and Adam thoroughly enjoyed impersonating the bird of prey. -- TV Squad

Scott Baio is 46... and Pregnant: The episode started off with the arrival of Scott and Renee's baby nurse (who came complete with a British accent), Helen. The first thing Helen did was to order Scott to never smoke inside the house again (a good bit of advice). -- Zap2It
