TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2010 TELEVISION HIGHLIGHTS
Chef Gordon Ramsay names a winner on the season finale of “Hell’s Kitchen” (Fox at 8), but not before both contestants go through mass panic while trying to put together a final dinner service with too many cooks in the kitchen.
Only 15 out of 30 chefs will
survive to cook another day on “Masterchef” (Fox at 9), so to weed out the weakest of the pack, everyone must prove they can do the simplest of kitchen tasks, such as cooking an egg and slicing an onion. Jeff Lewis returns on the Season 4 premiere of “Flipping Out” (Bravo at 9) to flip some more houses and keep his mojo and spirits up, even in the bad economy. On “Shaq Vs.” (ABC at 9), the
NBA star tries to keep up with Shane Mosley during a Las Vegas boxing match, and later, tests his magic skills with duo Penn and Teller. Morgan tries to cement her place as the alpha of the house on a new season of “Bad Girls Club” (Oxygen at 9) as the show heads to Miami to put seven women with explosive personalities in a house together, just for fun. SingerMarc Anthony guest-stars on “HawthoRNe” (TNT at 9) as a detective who works with Christina after a woman kidnaps her own son from foster care.
Both only 18 and ready to get married, Jessie and Tom try to make nice with all their family members so they’ll support their decision on “18 to Life” (CW at 9 and 9:30).Unfortunately, Tom tries to do this by inviting both fathers to his bachelor party. Snooki’s pouf has nothing on
the styles created on “Hair Battle Spectacular” (Oxygen at 10), a reality series that challenges 10 stylists to come up with the best fantasy hair designs. Celeb clients line up on “The Rachel Zoe Project” (Bravo at 10), as the team styles a slew of actresses, including Kate Hudson

Adapted from a recent online discussion:
Dear Carolyn: There have been six reported
break-ins in my neighborhood in the past two months. This is very alarming to me and I really want to move to a “safer” (read: more gentrified) neighborhood, a notion my husband finds offensive. He believes it is our responsibility as concerned citizens to participate in programs that strengthen our community, not to bail when it starts to feel too dangerous. I am more worried about our safety and that I won’t be able to talk him into moving when we eventually have kids, and I just want to get out of here. Whose side are you on?
Gotham City, apparently Such a combative way to frame CAROLYN HAX it.
I’m on the side of couples who listen to each other and approach difficult subjects with their dukes down vs. those who pick a position and dig in. I’m on the side of people who
take thoughtful actions based on facts vs. those who employ numbers that may or may not pass statistical muster to justify hysteria (or just to lobby for what they want). I’m on the side of people who are mindful of their impact on loved ones when they choose to

I’ve got a beautiful wife who’s tell- ing me to stick to principle.” When asked late last month by morning radio host Elliot Segal if he had been fired, McKelway said, “All I can say is, I got a great law- yer.” Last year, McKelway threat- ened to punch a local blogger dur-

The blogger, Michael Rogers, de- scribed his efforts to “out” politi- cians who opposed gay rights but were allegedly living gay lives in secret. McKelway took exception to Rogers’s tactics, in part be- cause Rogers had targeted several Republican congressmen. The conversation grew increas-

ingly heated, as McKelway re- peatedly interrupted Rogers. At one point, McKelway told his guest: “I’d take you outside and give you a punch across the face. . . . I think you’re hurting in- nocent people.” A day later, McKelway was un- repentant on the air, telling view- ers, “An apology? Mike Rogers, you’re not getting one. You under- stand that?

Neighborhood safety creates dividing line in this marriage
take a principled stand. I’m on the side of people who compare apples with apples vs. those who use an apple (six break-ins) to judge an orange (where you’ll raise the kids you don’t have yet). You both owe it to each other — and to yourselves — to have your facts straight, to challenge any assumptions you’re making, and to put yourselves in each other’s shoes.
Some things to consider, toward that end: How wide a definition are you using of the term “neighborhood”? Twenty households, or 500? How violent have these crimes been? How has your local law enforcement responded? Is it considered to be the work of one burglar who found good pickings in your neighborhood — i.e., is this random? — or is your part of
town often a target for crime? How safe are your streets for walking around? Have you talked to anyone who is raising children in your neighborhood? Do you have this same information on the “gentrified” neighborhoods you’re coveting? How does it compare? Those neighborhoods alone are the heart of a whole other line of potential questioning — covering everything from values to commute times to lifestyles. It can’t be all about numbers of break-ins per capita, can it? Getting a hold on these facts
isn’t just about responsible decision-making; it’s also about showing respect for each other. It says you won’t attack something the other person values without a darn good reason to do that. Right now, you’re both dug in
on abstract concepts — physical safety vs. moral obligations. It’ll be more accessible to you both — and less emotionally charged — if you take a practical approach: How do you envision your day-to-day lives together? What cost of living, lifestyle, commute, demographics, zoning, etc., suits the two of you best, and what location best suits those needs? Sticking to facts, on this and anything else, is a way to cool the emotional jets, enough to get you talking again.

Groom’s sexual transgressions haunt invited wedding guest ASK AMY
Dear Amy: I am a 33-year-old woman who
has kept a secret since I was in junior high school. A relative who is a few years older than me, “Steve,” did some sexually inappropriate things to me. It didn’t involve nudity and I’d rather not get into detail, but it was very inappropriate and made me quite uncomfortable. I never told anyone about this encounter. Our parents were close and I never wanted to cause any hardship between them. It has not mattered before because we would see that part of the family so infrequently that I was able to avoid him. I have mostly forgotten about the incident except for occasional flashbacks that I quickly repress. In the past few years, Steve’s
two brothers have gotten married.
I attended both weddings but managed to avoid Steve. We were recently sent a “save
the date” announcement for Steve’s wedding. I have no desire to celebrate him in any way, much less be forced to go to his wedding.
My mother takes these occasions very seriously and has not responded well to my initial attempts to tell her that I do not want to attend this wedding. I don’t think any excuse (except telling her the truth) will get me out of this and still be in her good graces. I don’t want to tell the truth now because our mothers are very close and I don’t want to upset that relationship. How do I get out of this wedding without upsetting my mother and without revealing this long-kept
secret? Worried
If you try hard enough, you can always find a good reason for not revealing the truth — to protect your mother’s relationships, for instance. Shedding light on this secret might be the best thing for you, and I could well imagine that your mother would want to know (most loyal mothers would). You should get used to the idea that your mother is going to be upset, regardless of what you choose to do. You could try to hedge by
saying, “Mom, I really don’t like ‘Steve.’ I haven’t liked him since we were kids. I don’t want to go to his wedding. I know you’ll have a good time but I’m going
to do something else that weekend. I’ll RSVP to the invitation. You don’t have to make any excuses for me — I’ll handle it.” That might be enough of an explanation for your mother, but you should ask yourself if this is really right for you.
Dear Amy: About a year ago my ex broke things off with me. At the time, I was six months pregnant with his child. We stayed in contact for the sake of our child. Over time it was obvious we still had feelings for each another. We messed around about a dozen times.
His life has gone downhill since
we broke up. He got in trouble with the law and starting drinking more.
Recently, he told me he wants
to work things out. He even said he wants to get married. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t know if I can fully trust him to not leave me again.
Confused
Let’s review. A mere six months ago your guy was low enough to dump you when you were pregnant. His life has since spiraled even lower. He’s drinking and in trouble. Honestly, not being married to him seems like something of an advantage to you at this point. I’d suggest you stay that way until he can demonstrate through his deeds (not just his words) that he is man enough to be married.
Dear Amy:
“Hurt and Sad” was upset because her daughter was angry with her and was limiting access to her grandchild. I had a toxic mother who I feel
my children are not safe with, but if you asked her, she would express bewilderment, just as Hurt has done.
I bet there’s more to this story. Survivor
The flip side of “Hurt’s” story could be exactly as you say. That’s why I suggested her priority should be in healing the relationship with her daughter.
