TV Review:Private Practice

Informative, hilarious, romantic and drama packed, Private Practice takes Grey's Anatomy a notch higher with the great storyline and veteran actors who bring reality and feeling to the show.

By Annie Arogo

If you liked Grey’s Anatomy then Private Practice which is a spin-off from the former medical drama will enthrall you and keep you glued to the screen for hours on end.
Private practice is a medical drama revolving around the life of Dr Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) who leaves Seattle Grace Hospital for Los Angeles where she would work at the Oceanside Wellness Center headed by her best friend Dr. Naomi Bennett (Audra McDonald) and her ex-husband Dr. Sam Bennett (Taye Diggs).

BIG BROTHER: Mzamo and Itai get punished!

Its all in the beans...

After last night's blow up between Mzamo and Itai, Big Brother is not amused and has decided to make an example out of them. Biggie felt that all the threatening language, threatening behaviour, verbal abuse, and damage to property went against the Evolution Task call for "an overall sincere approach to the week", thus it was appropriate for this incident to be punished.

BIG BROTHER: Geraldine finally does something...

She lives...

On monday night when Geraldine was named as one of this week's nominees alongside Emma, we could not think of one thing that made her stand out...glad to report now we do.

In the test of who has the highest threshold for pain in the house, Geraldine came tops. Big Brother provided them with pegs to attach to any part of their body inorder to ascertain the alleged theory that women can tolerate higher levels of pain than men.
The Housemates choose to test this theory with their nipples.
