Welcome to Reality TV Roundup -- a quick look at some of the reality TV-centric stories that have recently popped up across the fine, old Interwebs. Click away, my couch potato friends. But before you do...
 
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! One more time: SPOILER ALERT. If you watch any competition shows, the latest elimination for each show is probably revealed in the text below. The hope is that, if you missed this week's program and would rather clear out your DVR than watch the episode, you can get a quick hit here. But don't come crying to me if you find out something you didn't want to know. You've been warned. Also note: lots of non-competition reality info lurks below, too.

BIG BROTHER

Let the mourning and the rending of wife-beater T-shirts begin! MTV has decided "Jersey Shore"'s next season will be its last. Maybe we're seeing the last of The Situation -- at least until he files for bankruptcy protection.

It turns out that Honey Boo Boo is making more money than we thought. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you. 
 
"America's Got Talent" decides on it's last three acts for the finals. One's a dog act, one's a kid act. Whoever wins, we can only hope that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
