Dear newsletter subscribers,

Good evening! Spring itself may not be here, but spring reality TV is already in full bloom, from the return of Tough As Nails last week and American Idol tonight, and that continues this week.

We're getting new seasons of Temptation Island (USA, Tuesdays at 10), which was filmed in Hawaii last fall, and The Real Housewives of New Jersey (Bravo, Wednesdays at 9), which was probably filmed in New Jersey.

Also, after more six years off the air, Modern Marvels returns (History, Sundays at 10), though with a more narrow focus than before.
