Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly of Big Brother infamy are crossing over into another CBS competition series, joining the cast of The Amazing Race 20 this winter!

Rachel won Big Brother 13 last summer, a stunning comeback considering she was easily one of the most hated contestants in the show's history after Season 12.

The Amazing Race is clearly a good fit for the ratings-grabbing duo, who excelled in Big Brother's weekly competitions but cried a lot and lacked for social skills.

Brendon and Rachel entering the Race is similar to Survivor stars Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich doing the same. CBS knows how to pick and re-cast its reality "talent."

The Amazing Race turns 20 on February 19 and will celebrate the milestone with a cast that also includes married professional clowns, border patrol agents and more.

The 11 teams will hit 22 cities and travel 40,000 miles on trips to Paraguay, Azerbaijan and the German castle that inspired the one featured in Sleeping Beauty.

As her mom, Barbara, has said so many times ... Dammit Jenelle!!

Last night's episode of Teen Mom 2 featured an all-out brawl between combustible time bomb Jenelle Evans and her new housemates, making us wonder if this girl will ever go longer than a few months without getting arrested.

On the flip side, your roommates all look better by comparison, no?

Let's get down to this week's Teen Mom 2 recap, THG's +/- style!

Jenelle Evans' meltdown began, we think, because Kieffer Delp was texting someone in the 508 area code, which is not North Carolina. Uh oh. Minus 12.

She threatened to move out and take her couches with her. Not that you can put them in the car where she'd be living, but point taken Jenelle. Plus 4.

The bathroom door was victim #1 of the night. Holy rage issues woman! Plus 5 because at least the bathroom door can't press charges against her.

Roomie Tori tried her best to console her, but Jenelle was past the point of no return and ranting about Tori's BF, Kieffer clone Tylor. Uh oh. Minus 6.

That's when the drumsticks came out. That's not a euphemism, Tori and Jenelle really started frickin' wailing on each other with drumsticks. Plus 50.

The image of them rolling around on the floor between the legs of Kieffer and Tylor, who were also brawling, will likely scar us for life. Still, Plus 12.

When Bahbwa sees this low-rent porn-gone-wrong scene? Look out. Minus 20.

The season started with a suicide and ended with a wedding.

In between, we saw just how low Taylor Armstrong would sink; watched the struggles of Kyle Richards and an eventually rehab-bound Kim; and slogged through Lisa Vanderpump planning her daughter's big day, which came to fruition last night.

But was this is a worthwhile payoff? Did anyone really care about Pandora's wedding, especially when it shoved Kim and Taylor so far off to the sideline?

Yes, the finale concluded with the women at Kyle's house, sort of talking about Russell Armstrong's passing, but even then Pandora's wedding remained a topic of conversation. Was the episode a letdown?

What did you think of this conclusion to season two?

After a fairly dark season with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ,we're finally headed towards the light for the finale and thanks to Pandora, it's not white but pink.

Let's break down the event of the season in THG's +/- review!!

But before we attend the wedding, let's hit the bathroom. I have to laugh at Adrienne's horror when Paul invites her in to help with his enema. Plus 10 for her reaction.

I don't know what Paul's thinking but that's so not happening.

Other than airing an entertaining public service announcement on getting a colonoscopy, is this segment really necessary? Minus 8 because I don't think anyone needs to watch several minutes of Paul passing air. Maybe we can all get that IV sedation to go.

Over at Kyle's, she and Mauricio must be discussing which dress will look the least flattering on her because I can't stand any of her choices, least of all the one he picked out. Minus 9. For a woman with money Kyle could use better taste in clothes.

Camille doesn't have that problem. She just looks better and better this season. Life without Kelsey obviously agrees with her because she's rockin' that dress. Plus 10.

Back at wedding central, Lisa's starting to freak out a little because Kevin Lee isn't there. His assistant Anie looks quite capable but Kevin failed to mention he'd be manning another event up until a couple of hours before Pandora's wedding. Not cool. Minus 15.

But everything moves right along and I almost expected twin makeup artists but triplets? Plus 7. Only in Beverly Hills.

After the return and exit of Shawntel Newton last week, The Bachelor settled back into its normal routine of ridiculous dates, cat-fighting and emotional turmoil Monday.

The Bachelor spoilers we've read actually didn't include much on this episode, including who would get the boot. So it was interesting to watch unfold in that sense.

Ben Flajnik took the ladies on a BREATHTAKING horseback riding date, and later fly fishing, getting the women wet in a way they never imagined. Most likely.

One lucky bachelorette also won a private show from country singer Clay Walker ... but was there a rose in tow? And Courtney Robertson, as always, was insane.

Please, join us for THG's +/- Bachelor recap of week four ...

HE'S ON A HORSE: And Lindzi Cox has never been more jealous/turned on.

Regardless of any rose outcome, seeing these prissy, uptight women put up their hair and step into baggy fishing suits was satisfying in its own right. Plus 9.

This fly fishing endeavor features some of the most fake casting we've seen on this show since ... any girl in Bachelor history was cast on the show. Plus 18.

“Let’s be honest. It’s not really about catching the trout. It’s more about catching Ben.” - Courtney Robertson, using every one of her 75 I.Q. points. Minus 10.

Think the producers rigged it and threw a gimpy trout in there just for the scene of her smugly emerging from the stream hoisting her catch? Probably. Plus 2.

"Courtney caught a fish. [pause] What the f--k." - Lindzi. Plus 20.

Ben tossed a "catch" (named Samantha Levey) back into the sea (of dating!) after she whined about going on group dates. Dude, tell it to Mike Fleiss. Minus 21.

Who knows why she was even there in the first place, after Ben told her it was time to pack it in right there. Somewhat dick-ish, but honest, so Plus 17.
