What's on Tonight: Big Brother, So You Think You Can Dance, NY Med

Dirk Langeveld is filling in for Elissa Bass while she is on vacation. She will resume this column on Aug. 28.

Big Brother, 8 p.m., CBS

“The Power of Veto competition is held.” Can two-thirds of the housemates do an override?

So You Think You Can Dance, 8 p.m., Fox

NY Med, 10 p.m., ABC
