Orange County Register

Highlights from tonight’s TV schedule:

The merge: Why does “Survivor” call it “the merge” instead of “the merger”? That’s like when football announcers talk about players “defensing” each other. Either way, the event takes place tonight on “Survivor: Samoa,” with Galu bringing eight players and Foa Foa just four. The F-Fers seemed doomed, don’t they? No tribe has survived that sort of imbalance since - oh, yeah, since last season. 8 p.m. on CBS.

The acquirers: Our favorite local lasses, “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” resume their televised antics of spending money and getting drunk. (OC Register’s Richard Chang previews the new Housewives episode.) The Watcher will pitch in with his thoughts tomorrow morning. 10 p.m. on Bravo.
