This week finally heated up for reality television. Tyra's hamsters took part in their second photoshoot on America's Next Top Model, the American Idol hopefuls started to compete on the big stage, the Dancing with the Stars cast finally started to ... well dance, and Chekhov got a shoutout on The Amazing Race.

There weren't any shocking eliminations or anything horrendously groundbreaking, but there were some definite moments. Here are some highlights, and lowlights, after the jump.

'The Real Housewives of New York City'
(11PM, Bravo) 2nd season premiere
There's only one word to accurately describe the new season with the NYC 'Housewives': Meow!

It's catfights-a-go-go, as the premiere quickly reveals that the rivalries that began last season have not cooled off a bit. On the contrary, it's wannabes Alex and Simon vs. the rest of the cast, as season two opens with the marrieds ticked off about some unflattering comments Jill made about them in a New York gossip column.

That leads to snubbing by and of the rest of the 'Housewives' when they all meet up at a Hamptons party, and, as coming attractions show, the snits just keep on coming throughout season two.
