BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Live Finale, Part 1. Tonight is the day, or night, of reckoning for the remaining four contestants: Laith Al-Saadi, Hannah Huston, Alisan Porter, and Adam Wakefield. Tonight they perform, but only one of them will emerge, eventually, as the season’s winner. My guess: It’ll be either Al-Saadi or Porter. They both have an abundance of talent, and Al-Saadi is an impressive musician as well but Porter has the more compelling backstory, which counts with viewers. Porter also would give The Voice a female winner, and a season winner for a female coach, Christina Aguilera, for the first time as well. But if Al-Saadi triumphs, I’d be fine with that, too. This season, The Voice truly has enjoyed an abundance of talent – which has made this cycle of the show quite enjoyable as well.
 
  
 
 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

SPECIAL: This summer will see a marked re-emergence of prime-time network game shows, and CBS is doing it with an aggressively cross-promotional approach. For example, The Price Is Right, hosted by daytime host Drew Carey, is presenting prime-time special editions featuring casts from CBS reality competition series. Tonight it’s Survivor, with that show’s host, Jeff Probst, along for the ride – and later on, it’s The Price of Right editions starring players from The Amazing Race and, yawn, Big Brother. Just letting you know.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This is the Season 2 finale for Gotham, and it finds a lot of the inmates who have been experimented on by Hugo Strange discovering a way to escape not only his clutches, but the facility where they’ve been imprisoned. And that includes the recently resurrected Fish Mooney, played by Jada Pinkett Smith.

 
  
 
 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Between the ABC and CW prime-time incarnations of this amiable improv comedy series, this marks the Season 12 return of Whose Line, in which host Aisha Tyler challenges her cast members – Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and others, along with the week’s celebrity guest – to have fun with characters and situations she throws at them on the spot. There aren’t many “fun for the whole family” shows left on television, but Whose Line Is It Anyway? is one of them.

A Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer allows travelers to begin their vacation with comfort, convenience, and confidence. After arriving at Punta Cana International Airport, the last thing most visitors want is to spend time searching for transportation or waiting in long lines. Planning airport transportation before departure helps make the arrival process much easier and allows guests to continue directly to the resort.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana is situated in the beautiful Uvero Alto region, approximately 27 miles (44 kilometers) from Punta Cana International Airport. Depending on traffic, the drive usually takes around 45 to 55 minutes. Choosing a Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer provides a direct route to the resort, avoiding unnecessary stops that are common with shared transportation.
