Every week, editors Mickey O'Connor and Adam Bryant satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to mega_scoop@tvguide.com.
I am so over Orson and his lame blackmail scheme. How long before the writers put that story to rest and let Bree and Karl tie the knot on Desperate Housewives? — David
MICKEY: Poor Kyle MacLachlan — the writers really screwed him with all that kleptomania nonsense. The good news (for us, at least) is that Bree's emotional affair with Karl will take on a new dimension when they start sending dirty text messages to each other. As Emily Post might write longhand on personalized stationery: OMG!
Any Fringe scoop? — Lizbeth
MICKEY: Right off the bat in the first episode, one character's alliances will be questioned, and the answer will be heartbreaking...

We'd like to respond to a few fan questions before we get into tonight's show.
To Xxlaurahxx, who asked where do spirits go when they go into the Light? Mary Ann Winkowski, our real life ghost buster, tells us that beyond the Light there is an energy that is different than what's on the plain we're on. Check out the video on Mary Ann's website for more details. Once a spirit crosses over into the Light, Mary Ann does not have communication with them — she can only talk with earth-bound spirits. However, this season Melinda will get some insight beyond the Light. So make sure you check in with us on Friday nights because we think you'll be very surprised with what you learn.
To CriminalMindsChick, thanks for your posting. Good to know. We'll give your input some thought.
To Erin Lee — from the question you posted, sounds like ...

Ronnie, Big Brother 11
For longtime Big Brother fan Ronnie Talbott, actually making it onto the show was a dream come true. However, his "master of the game" approach quickly turned into a nightmare when he told one lie too many and was outed to the house as a rat. TVGuide.com chatted with Ronnie about whether he would take back any of those lies, his fiery exit speech to former cliquemate Michele and why he thinks the power of coup d'état won't be a factor in the game.
TVGuide.com: That was some speech you made to Michele. What did she do to you?
Ronnie: Until about five days ago, I had nothing against Michele because ...
