Ox Notes: October 22, 2009

So You Think You Can Dance revealed its Top 20 dancers last night, and EW ranked the contestants.

Also on TV last night was Top Chef's latest edition of restaurant wars. Bravo's website has blog posts by judges Toby Young and Tom Colicchio, as well as an interview with the ousted cheftestant. But Reality Blurred wonders if the Voltaggio brothers' constant bickering is dragging down the season.

In related news, Top Chef Masters will return for a second season next year.

If you can't wait for tonight's dramatic episode of Survivor: Samoa, People has a spoiler-filled interview with Jeff Probst.

The CW ordered more episodes of Vampire Diaries and Melrose Place.

Stay current on the fates of current network shows with Live Feed's TV Series Survival Status Chart.

Fox will release a DVD of the first 13 episodes of Glee on December 29, which works out great for people like me who want to get into the show but missed the early episodes.

Fox also announced its plans for November sweeps, only to amend them a few days later.

A second bizarre celebrity drug bust finds Sam Jones -- better known as Pete on Smallville -- arrested for allegedly selling oxycodone, as Big Brother winner Adam Jasinski was earlier this week.

Finally, one of the last of the major roles in the HBO pilot A Game of Thrones has been filled. Baywatch alum Jason Momoa will play Khal Drogo. Tower of the Hand has a complete gallery of actors cast in the pilot.
