24 tonight and the Gold Rush continues...

We're coming down the home stretch with only 3 more episodes left in the fourth season of 24 as Jack is hot on the heels of Habib Marwan who is managing to stay a step ahead of Jack and CTU. Jack and Audrey are having major problems after Jack ordrerd a CTU doctor to divert his attention from performing surgery on Paul to a Chinese national who knows where Marwan is located. This ultimately leads to Paul's death and tirade from Audrey directed at Jack. Is it just me or is Audrey becoming a real handle lately? I mean, she knew about Jack's past and now she's acting all shocked as if she can't believe he's acting this way. Also, this "me me me" attitude she took when Paul died just made want to throw-up. Supposedly, she has the country's best interests at heart, but when it comes down to actually helping get ahead of the terrorists she folds like a cheap suit. I think Paul was somehow involved anyway but we'll see. The last two weeks have been great television and we will see if that holds up tonight. I'll have a review and analysis tomorrow or Wednesday.

Onto RAW....

The Gold Rush tournament to determine a new No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship continues tonight as Edge takes on Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit faces Kane. If Shelton Benjamin is not in the main event picture by the end of the year something is terribly wrong. We might be looking at 1/2 of the Wrestlemania 22 main event in Benjamin. He'll probably end up dropping the IC belt to Hassan in couple of months and probably kill his heat that's been building since Wrestlemania. There will probably be more hijinks with Triple H and Batista as well. So far Batista is flopping as champion and it's of no fault of his own. They're not allowing him to get over like he should and his crowd reaction is diminishing. If it were me I'd put the belt back on Benoit as he's more over and is obviously more talented. If him and HBK feuded over the title all summer you wouldn't get any complaints from me that's for sure. I'll have a review and analysis of RAW coming up tomorrow.
