It appears official: Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, or whatever they're going to be calling it next year if the couple decides to pretend to run a laundromat or something similar, is now Tori Spelling's job for the foreseeable future. We can draw this conclusion because Spelling has pulled out of the 90210 revival series due to a dispute over money. As the daughter of a Hollywood mogul, Spelling doesn't really need to work at all, so we should probably thank the reality gods that she continues to grace us with her Botoxed presence.

The season finale (Oxygen, 10 PM) finds Tori and Dean returning to the house they just bought, and with baby Stella in tow. Most parents might find themselves too preoccupied to do anything besides tend to the new addition, but there are cameras around and time to fill, so the couple has a housewarming party as well. It's possible that a fourth season was to have focused on Tori going back to work, so they're going to have to come up with a new hook if the show is returning. I suppose she could always have another affair.

Olympics Highlights: In prime time (NBC, 8 PM), Michael Phelps could become the gold medalingest (?) Olympian of all time with one more victory, and he'll have two chances to get that this evening. Also, the U.S. women are considered to have an excellent chance to win the team gold in gymnastics. There's also coverage of the women's synchronized diving, an event I'm convinced was invented because NBC asked the IOC for two more night of diving. The U.S. softball team plays one of its chief rivals in Australia (CNBC, midnight).

The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8 PM): Amy wonders if she should move away from home, and Ricky, the kid who fathered her baby, is torn between wanting to step up to the plate and wanting to run. Getting a teenage boy to take responsibility for putting his dishes in the sink is hard enough; don't ask me how you get one to be a parent.

Big Brother 10 (CBS, 9 PM): Did it give any of you the warm fuzzies to see those Big Brother contestants of the past? Yeah, me neither. Tonight, Keesha and Libra fight for the power of veto, and Jerry continues in his campaign to become the least likable crotchety grandpa in TV history.

Eureka (SciFi, 9 PM): There's a slight problem with the town's annual dog show for robotic pooches; the town is beset by sudden tremors that threaten to play havoc with Allison's wedding. You simply can't have a wedding on TV without havoc.

Flipping Out (Bravo, 9 PM): The cast, or what remains of it, gathers for what I'm sure will be a joy-filled reunion. We've got a terminal narcissist in Jeff, an aspiring actress in Jenni, and Zoila, who is just happy not to be dusting something.

Evolve (History, 10 PM): An entire hour about jaws: how they came to be and how they evolved to meet a host of needs, especially when it comes to animals that use them to kill. This would have been a natural for a History shark week, if only sharks had played a bigger role in history. For instance, if one had eaten Washington as he was crossing the Delaware.

How to Look Good Naked (Lifetime, 10 PM): A pair of sisters were once cheerleaders and are now...well, on this show. Carson is on the case, arranging a photo shoot on a Hawaiian beach in order to boost their egos. Hey, I have body image issues too! Take me to Hawaii! I promise not to cause a tsunami by actually getting in the water!

Million Dollar Listing Bravo, 10 PM): Josh believes he has the perfect condo to appease Dr. Sam, but the listing belongs to Chad. I have to hand it to this show: the producers just may have discovered the most irritating people in the world. Who would buy property from the likes of Chad? He looks the fourth Jonas Brother.

Primetime: Medical Mysteries (ABC, 10 PM): Unless there's more than one guy like this in the world, the same Indonesian man from the TLC classic Half Man, Half Tree is featured in this hour. Also, a report on a type of paralysis that can occur while surfing, and something called Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, where women seem to be genetically male. That's a syndrome? I thought that was just a bad practical joke.

Smash Lab (Discovery, 10 PM): The engineers test ways to make a car crashproof, including the use of a metallic foam and "reactive armor," which must be better than armor that just sits there all shiny. The problem is that they are testing this stuff to withstand a 55 mph impact. I don't know about where you live, but get on the highway here, and if you're driving 55 everyone will want to hit you.
