As for the bumpy-bumpier-bumpiest friendship (or lack thereof) between Jeff and Ryan: Jeff tries to fight through stress and reconcile with his business partner. Jeff also attends a big birthday bash filled with significant others. But the atmosphere of family and babies makes him think about finally settling down and starting his own family. And although this is the season finale, fans of the show will flip for next week's reunion installment.

8/7c Fox
Robert has been a big part of the show for two seasons now, so it was sad in a way to see his elimination, even if it didn't sadden his blue teammates. So Andy lives for another week, but he'll clearly be in Chef Ramsay's sights when he and the eight other survivors must take a blind taste test. The reward for the winners (if that's what you want to call it) is dinner with Ramsay in a room so dark they don't know what's on their plates. But you can bet that Gordo does.

With the housing market such a mess, we hit up neat-freak real-estate guru Jeff Lewis of Flipping Out (Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, Bravo) for his top tips on how to sell your home without, well, flipping out.
1. "Pricing is everything. [List] your home 5 percent below the most recent comparable sale."
2. "Always make your house available for showings and open houses. Don't give a buyer a reason to buy the house next door."
3. "Keep your house clean and orderly while on the market. Keep your yard and lawn maintained and manicured."
4. "Respond to all offers, no matter how low. Buyers will lowball just to see how motivated you are. Don't take it personally."
5. "Since 25 to 33 percent of buyers cancel escrow, do whatever you have to do to keep your buyer happy. This may include giving a credit, doing repairs or paying a portion of your buyer's closing costs."
