Its girls versus boys on tonight's Glee as the boys and girls of the Glee Club battle each other to determine the club's song choices.
But first, it's a gay soap double feature as Mason continues to create drama for Nuke and the battle for queer Llanview voters continues to heat up on One Life to Live. We're taking the liveblog van to Oakdale today, so be sure to join us starting at 2PM Eastern to follow the action.

Gay-fave Julie Andrews is making the chat show rounds today. She has a new book, Julie Andrews' Collection of Poems, Songs, and Lullabies that's come out, so I expect that will be the topic.

Flipping Out duo Jeff Lewis and Jenni Pulos stop by for a chat.

After last week's confrontation, Mason withdraws as Noah's advisor, leaving Noah with someone he can't work with. Even though Ma and Pa Grimaldi are getting married soon, Luke sends his guy off to get his advisor back and, unsurprisingly, circumstances leave Noah missing a moment when Luke needed him. I guess this is going to be one of those plot dense days.

Dorian continues to scheme to win the gay vote away from Vicki (can I move to this city where the mayoral candidates are tripping over each other to show who could do more for gay voters and anti-gay voters don't have a candidate?) as Nick starts to raise Oliver's suspicions.
Willem and Jacob
So You Think You Can Dance (Fox) 8:00 PM EDT
It's time for the callbacks, which means that same-sex dance champions Willem and Jacob should be back. So far, the show has done a better job with them than with SYTYCD's first same-sex couple. Will that continue?
Gary Unmarried (CBS) 8:30 PM EDT
As if tonight weren't a busy night of gay TV, out comic Jason Stuart guest stars in Jay Mohr's sophomore comedy.
Glee (Fox) 9:00 PM EDT
The Glee Club kids try to come up with their take on mash-up songs in tonight's battle of the sexes. So -- am I setting myself up for disappointment if I hope to see something as inspired as combining Blondie with The Doors? Either way, be sure to join us for a Glee livechat.
Modern Family (ABC) 9:00 PM EDT
There's no word on what Mitchell and Cameron are up to in tonight's episode but considering that the show has checked in with each segment of the family in the past two episodes, I'm guessing that's some odd omission.
South Park (Comedy Central) 10:00 PM EDT
Comedy Central's signature animated comedy returns for its 13th season tonight. It's been a little while since the irreverent and relevant comedy has tackled gay issues but when it does, it can use its sharp satirical sword effectively.
Top Chef (Bravo) 10:00 PM EDT
The remaining chefestants face the Macy's Culinary Council, but first they must best a quickfire challenge where the parameters are determined by a slot machine -- okay, that might just be taking the Vegas theme a bit far.
Chelsea Lately (E!) 11:00 PM EDT
It's Guy Branum turn to sit on the panel as Abigail Breslin gets ready to face Chelsea.

Project Runway sometimes-judge Michael Kors stops by to chat. How many segments will it take for Kors to spend more time with Regis and Kelly than he has judging Runway this season?

After today's wedding-missing drama, now Noah finds reason to be bothered by his professor's behavior. Oakdale boys, go fig.

Dorian has a big announcement to make -- which I'm guessing will involve her courtship of the gay vote -- while Oliver tries to warn Kyle about his suspicions about Nick. (And, at this point, I'm resisting the urge to do strikethrough jokes substituting the names of classic love triangle participants, this storyline is such classic soap opera.)
Something "fishy" about Nick?

heh
Funny that you'd say that since the first strikethrough joke to come to mind was Josh/Reva/Annie (which isn't an apt comparison since people didn't like Annie until she stopped being a nice doormat and turned out to be crazy, thus making the joke not work) so if Nick ends up a bad guy I'll feel like that was a moment of foresight.
But as for a "been there" feeling, I can see where you're coming from. That's what works for me, honestly. Considering that whenever I check out other soaps, its people who forget they have relationships with other people, the creative team putting their creepy gender issues on display, erratic pacing and stories where the sense of history seem to come from reading wikipedia, that OLTL seems to have stepped out of the late 80s makes me pretty happy. Sadly, I think that's the best that can be hoped for out of the drama right now. And, to OLTL's credit, while Kish is being written as an endgame couple, neither guy is Prince Entitled the way the likes of Reva, Cricket or Eden were.
It probably says a lot that I'm impressed that each of the Llanviews gays have a job and we've seen them interact with people in a professional capacity (even if, in Kyle's case, he was doing something very unprofessional).
Modern Family
Didnt one of the guys tweeted that tonite we will find out with which film our beloved gays bonded for the first time?
Oh, I wonder.
