START SHARPENING YOUR KNIVES: With Apprentice and Top Model (Naima!) over, all we've got left in reality finals for the spring are The Contender -- which only a few of us, sadly, are watching -- and American Idol, about which we soon can talk at length.

But where will we be directing our eyes, and our snark, this summer? Reality Blurred has compiled it all, along with a preview of the fall (when no new original reality shows are scheduled to debut). Here's the summer highlights, IMHO (listings his; descriptions mine):

  • Hell's Kitchen: Iron Chef meets The Apprentice [FOX, May 30, 9 p.m.]
  • Beauty and the Geek: Well, Heffernan liked it. [WB, June 1, 8 p.m.]
  • Rock Star: INXS: Will Terence Trent D'Arby enter to reclaim his job? [CBS, July 11, 9 p.m.]
  • Dancing With The Stars: I'm A Minor Celebrity, Get Me Rhythm! [ABC, June 1, 9 p.m.]
  • Hit Me Baby One More Time: American Idol for has-beens to compete, and not just judge. Will Terence Trent D'Arby enter? [NBC, June 2, 9 p.m.]
  • The Scholar: ABC (probably) ruins Adam's idea. [ABC, June 6, 8 p.m.]
  • The Cut: Project Runway plus Hilfiger minus craftsmanship. [CBS, June 9 p.m.]
  • I Want To Be A Hilton: complete with home video challenges. [NBC, June 21, 8 p.m.]
  • The Law Firm: Remember 'The Partner'? This is like that, only it'll air, and a Terence Trent D'Arby appearance is unlikely. [NBC, July 27, 8 p.m.]

What are you looking forward to? Which shows might not suck?
