🛋️ What to Watch Tonight: August 17, 2025 – Nautilus Finale, Chicken Drama & Killer Yogurt Shops 🍦🔪

Welcome to your daily TV guide from The TV Cave, where we sift through the cable chaos so you don’t have to. It’s Sunday night, which means it’s time to fire up the popcorn, argue over the remote, and let the television take the wheel. From messy reality TV to chilling docuseries, here’s what’s worth your screen time tonight.

🏠 8PM – CBS Crowns a New Big Brother Tyrant

📺 Big Brother (CBS) A new Head of Household rises to power, and as always, it’s tears, tantrums, and thinly veiled threats. Three unlucky houseguests are tossed on the chopping block, but will they go quietly? (LOL, as if.) If you're keeping score, you’ll want to know who got booted last episode—because alliances are shifting faster than a fake smile on eviction night.

🐓 Hallmark Drama Alert: Clucking Chaos Continues

📺 The Chicken Sisters (Hallmark Channel) Amanda, Nancy, and Gus are still reeling from the claws-out catastrophe that was their Ultimate Kitchen Clash. Expect awkward hugs, passive-aggressive pies, and sisterly sniping as the trio attempts to "mend fences." Spoiler: The fences are metaphorical. The drama? Very real.

🔥 Lifetime’s Latest: Dead Girl Summer (TV-Movie Premiere)

🎬 Dead Girl Summer (Lifetime) Because it’s not really summer without a missing girl, a haunting backstory, and a suspiciously hot detective, Lifetime delivers another page-turner of a movie you can’t stop watching (or mocking in group chats). If you liked Gone Girl but wished it had more lakeside trauma, this one’s for you.

🍔 9PM – Food Truck Fights & Nautilus Goes Full Valkyrie

📺 The Great Food Truck Race (Food Network – Two Episodes) A fan-favorite team gets some bad news (no word on whether it’s spoiled lettuce or crushed dreams), and in Wilmington, NC, two teams with “serious beef” literally beef. Tension's high. So are the calorie counts.

📺 Nautilus – Season Finale (AMC – Two Episodes) Strap in, steampunk fans. The Nautilus crew hits treasure… but there’s a twist. Valkyrie warriors, corporate takedowns, and one last dive into deep-sea dystopia. The show wraps its first season with sword fights, sea spray, and a final jab at the East India Mercantile Company. Jules Verne would be proud (and probably confused).

📺 Kings Court (Bravo) The Kings' friends and fam are dishing dirt on the “Queens” they’re courting. Expect champagne-fueled honesty and the kind of truth bombs that can only be detonated in a Bravo confession booth.

📺 The Serial Killer’s Apprentice (ID) Let’s get dark. This two-hour doc goes full true crime with an inside look at Dean Corll, aka one of the creepiest killers you’ve never heard of, through the eyes of his young accomplice. Disturbing? Absolutely. Watchable? You bet.

📺 WWE’s Greatest Moments (A&E – Two Episodes) It’s body slams and backstories with a nostalgic twist. First, the 1980s get the spotlight, and at 9:30, it’s all about Booker T – with Stone Cold, Triple H, and the gang sharing war stories from the squared circle.

🕙 10PM – HBO Closes the Night With a Chilling Case

📺 The Yogurt Shop Murders (HBO) In 1999, two men confessed to the horrific slaying of four girls. In 2008, DNA evidence pulled the rug out from under the whole case. HBO’s true crime doc digs into the infamous Austin yogurt shop murders, unraveling a tale of botched confessions, police pressure, and forensic curveballs. This one’s not for the faint of heart.
