Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a Starz television series that premiered on January 22, 2010. The series is inspired by the historical figure of Spartacus (played by Andy Whitfield), a Thracian gladiator who from 73 to 71 BC led a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic. Executive producers Steven S. DeKnight and Robert Tapert focused on structuring the events of Spartacus' obscure early life leading up to the beginning of historical records. The show has been rated TV-MA for graphic violence, strong sexual content, and coarse language.

The show was initially renewed for a second season but production was delayed because Whitfield was diagnosed with early-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Due to the delay, Starz produced a six-episode prequel series, entitled Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. Pre-production of season 2 began following the announcement that Whitfield was cancer free, however his cancer recurred. Starz has since replaced Whitfield with actor Liam McIntyre, who will play Spartacus for season two

Ghost Hunters S06E06

Episode 06 - Haunted Reform School (07/04/2010)

This week the TAPS team investigates Preston Castle, once a notorious reform school for boys in Northern California. The team will be venturing into new territory in trying to communicate with the ghosts of young boys who made as much trouble when they were living as they're making dead.

People have seen apparitions of a man in a white coat in the doctor's office. The infirmary, meanwhile, seems to be haunted by a youth who'd been shot trying to escape the school. Occurrences upstairs include humming noises, groups of voices, a mist and a woman claiming she was pinched on the butt. Really.
In the basement, people have heard noises. In the kitchen where a housekeeper had been murdered by a youth, people have been touched and have heard a voice crying "help me". Amy Bruni is particularly pumped for this investigation since she's only a few miles from her childhood home.
Let's go, lights out.

Jason and Grant start out in the infirmary and right away Jay sees some dancing shadows. The two move about the main floor and Grant spies what appears to be a figure looking down on them from upstairs! They chase the shadow up to the second floor- but the floor had fallen out so they couldn't go any further.

That's when something yelled Graaaaaaant!! Grant responded to the voice, and he heard it again! Jason heard it that time too. As Grant is narrating to the camera the turn of events, he sees a figure pass before the window. The guy can't get a break from the paranormal tonight!

In the kitchen, sight of the murder of Anna Corbin, Kris and Britt conduct an EVP session. They see a light down a hallway, and there's no way to see where it came from. Let's hope Britt's mini DVD picked it up. Amy joins Britt in the infirmary for more EVP. Twice Amy saw a shadow figure more clearly than any she'd seen in a long time.

Now Steve and Tango take a turn in the doctor's office where they try to create shadows and movements in the reflective glass to debunk the claims of apparitions. Yet they can't pull it off. They get some temperature fluctuations, but it turns out to be a draft by the stairs.

While conducting and EVP session on the second floor, Jason and Grant hear bizarre sounds that are leading them in different directions. Then a scream comes from down the hallway! When the guys start to head out, Grant spies an old iron bed on wheels, which makes those same noises they had heard earlier.

Britt and Steve also hear a high-pitched voice in the basement. Back on the second floor Amy throws a ball hoping to get a toss back, but ziltch happens. Grant and Tango check out the basement and debunk the swinging door claims. They hear footsteps and the sound of a door opening and closing- and boy is Tango excited by this! Steve and Jason took a final sweep of the second floor but found nothing.

The analysis shows the team captured a voice responding to Jason, the voice saying Grant's name and the scream. The tape confirms the footsteps and door closing that Tango and Grant experienced in the basement. The final evidence was thermal, but it was hard to figure out what the image was.

Lots of shadows. Lots of noises. Lots of potential paranormal activity going on at Preston castle that warrants further investigation.

America's Next Top Model S14E05

Episode 05 - Smile and Pose (07/04/2010)

The models received letters from home to cheer them up. The next day, they arrived at Roosevelt Island, where they were tasked to create chemistry between themselves and a male model, who turned out to be Nigel. Later, they met comedian Ross Matthews, and their challenge required them to model with him and produce a good shot with only five frames. Jessica won and received a pair of $6500 Jude Frances diamond earrings, while Alasia (who had the best photo the previous week) received a $5000 ring.

The photo shoot took place at New York's Garment District – Canal Street, Chinatown. The girls were dressed up ala fashion faux pas, to raise awareness about the detriment of counterfeit fashion products. Jessica, Angelea and Krista wowed Jay in their performance, while Alexandra’s confidence took a beating when she received mediocre feedback.

At judging, Jessica easily become the most praised again the week, as the judges was extremely impressed with her creativity to produce such great shot. Nigel also commented that every single part of her shot absolutely tells a story about fake, while Andre praising her ability to jumps, make various poses and make her face looks great in the same time. Another girls also get a bit praise, including Angelea, Krista, Anslee, Brenda, Alasia, and Raina.

Alexandra's dour picture landed her in the bottom two along with Tatianna, whose film from week to week was deemed weak, which made Tyra choosing her best photo difficult (despite having at least one great photo to show at panel). In the end, Tatianna was sent home due to her inability to produce great photo because of her ability, not just of luck.

This episode was dedicated to the memory of Alexander McQueen.

First call-out: Jessica Serfaty
Bottom two: Alexandra Underwood & Tatianna Kern
Eliminated: Tatianna Kern

The show was created and is hosted by talk-show host and model Tyra Banks, who also serves as the head judge and executive producer of the show. The first "cycle" premiered in May 2003 and was one of UPN's highest rated shows. The show's seventh cycle was the first of the shows among regular programming on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus far is the network's highest rated series. The opening theme is performed by Tyra Banks and is produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks co-produces the show with Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici, and is an independent production of 10 by 10 Entertainment and Bankable Productions (part of the dummy company/joint venture Pottle Productions), distributed for The CW by Bankable Productions and syndicated internationally by KingWorld (and its successor CBS Television Distribution). For the 2006–2007, 2007–2008 and 2008–2009 television seasons, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on The CW.
