Tuesday's TV highlights

7.30PM, TV2
THE APPRENTICE
Guess which contestant blows one team's entire budget? And who gets thrown out as the leader? Nope, unfortunately it's not Martha Stewart, who makes a fairly tame boss compared with "the Don".

7.30PM, TV3
DOWNSIZE ME!
The final of the diet show that has proved to be strangely addictive, just like those choccy biccies you snack on while watching it. As one unhealthy person gets a nutritional and physical makeover, their healthy opposite must take on the other's appalling lifestyle to show how it affects the body. Let's hope they get paid well.

8.30PM, TV ONE
BAD GIRLS
A bank robbery gone wrong, a dead body and a manipulative relationship are the themes du jour. Which is the least you'd expect from a show about baddies.

9.30PM ,TV3
OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE
Cheryl is having second thoughts about her relationship with Judd. About time she saw the wood for the trees, him being a cop and all. Speaking of trees, Pascalle goes bush, which can only mean disaster for her tresses.

10.30pm, TV2
MOON TV
Leigh Hart (aka That Guy) breaks out the wigs, false moustaches and speedos for another series of spoofs and slapstick-based humour.

Many of the popular strands from series two will reappear, such as the Speedo Cops, Book Zone and maybe even Ray. On top of that, Hart heads off on a world adventure to retrace the footsteps of his trailblazing great uncle Kenny, allegedly the first New Zealander to go on a big OE.

In tonight's episode, Hart finds Kenny's lost diary and uses it as his travel guide, starting from the family hometown of Runanga, on the West Coast.

With his assistant AJ, he explores Big Foot country in North America's Pacific Northwest.

Hart's travels also take in Peru, Croatia, Hong Kong, and Australia. And watch out for the Baby Whisperer, who takes the mickey out of all those Supernanny shows.
