Displeasure to assist

"Tear 'em down before you build 'em up" will continue to be the policy on "Hotel Hell," as long as Gordon Ramsay is manning the desk. In the Season 3 premiere, Mr. Warmth wreaks havoc at an otherwise idyllic lodge near Yellowstone National Park. Ramsay's ire is rarely misguided, but that doesn't mean I want to spend any time with him in the lobby bar.

7 p.m. KMSP, Ch. 9

Singin' and dancin'

"Dancing With the Stars" (KSTP, Ch. 5) and "The Voice" (KARE, Ch. 11) conclude their latest seasons at the same time, which leaves reality TV viewers with the ultimate dilemma: Watch C-list celebs trying to earn some tabloid cred with the rumba or singers battling it out for a spot on a modestly priced cruise ship? Decisions, decisions.

8 p.m.

Can you dig it?

"Teotihuacan's Lost Kings," a new edition of "Secrets of the Dead," explores the Mexican ruins of what was once one of the world's largest cities, considered by some to be the City of the Gods. Let's hope that archaeologists have more luck than Geraldo Rivera did when he explored the ancient kingdom known as Al Capone's Vault.

8 p.m. TPT, Ch. 2

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
