8-9PM Survivor: Palau (CBS) I make it a habit to root for anyone on Survivor with two first names, but I'm especially down with Palau's Bobby Jon (left) — mostly just because I like to watch him beat himself up during challenges. (Especially since the harder he tries, the more his team seems to lose.) In any event, here's hoping the manimal doesn't beat me up whenever he shows up on the Survivor: Live Internet show over at cbs.com. That's okay, my cohost Jenna Morasca will protect me. . .I think. —Dalton Ross
9-11PM Sports Wives (A&E, TV-PG) It's not all mansions and spas. There is a lot of that, but still.
9:01-10:02PM Alias (ABC, TV-14-V) Vaughn finds a link between Nadia and his dad. If they're all half sibs, then there's a ''You might be a redneck'' joke here somewhere.
SERIES DEBUT 10-11PM Chasing Farrah (TV Land) Back-to-back episodes prove a seemingly impossible reality: Her high beams are always on.
10:02-11PM Vacation Swap (ABC) From the network that brought you Wife Swap comes this tale of two families who agree to vacation together on each other's turf. The Aspen-ites, the Hawns, go with the Orlando family to a trailer park (panic ensues when a sewage line breaks!), and the Orlandos go skiing (the Hawn clan gives them hell for their alleged lack of couth).
