It’s time to review Your Week in Beefcake, a look back to the past week of shirtlessness on TV.
Sunday was a busy night for TV beefcake. Enlisted saw Rear D work to prepare for a base inspection. The episode started with an early morning alert of the incoming visit, which meant we got to see the Hill brothers’ sleepwear. Pete sleeps in his boxers:
Randy also sleeps in his boxers, while Derick goes for the comfy old t-shirt and PJs.
Drop Dead Diva saw Kim sue Empress Katya, a Lady Gaga-style recording artist (but with a personality that’s just terrible) who had a habit of stealing choreography from small dance troupes. Worse, when her theft was discovered, she would turn things around and sue the troupe out of existence. Her plan included calling on her fans, the Little Soldiers, to protest the firm. That meant shirtless, artsy pop diva fans in the halls of Harrison & Parke
Sometimes you just have to look past the attempt to look avant-garde.
Kim did the sensible thing — ask Paul (Justin Dooley) to take off his shirt, give him a silly hat and have him infiltrate the Little Soldiers.
AMC’s period tech drama Halt and Catch Fire also got Lee Pace to show off his chest. Since this is a smart, serious show he exposed himself to show his scars — literal and metaphorical scars, to reaffirm Gordon‘s wavering loyalty.
Monday brought the American Ninja Warrior qualifying course to St Louis where “World’s Greatest Plummer” Bill Westrick basically asked, ‘How can I be 46 years old if I have these abs?’
Then there was bearded wrestler Matt Capiccioni.
Newcomer Rob Moravsky was introduced with a workout montage.
He was quick to lose his shirt before running the course and was given the nickname “Adonis.” I can’t call that inapt.
Tuesday’s Faking It finale started with a shirtless Liam (Greg Sulkin) helping Karma live out her Ghost fantasies.
This season, America’s Got Talent has been light on the beefcake. It made up for it with with dance troupe The Team.
Take a closer look at the lead dancer in the squarecut shorts. If you look down, you’ll see he had his leg in a cast and still managed to be a part of a dance number that impressed the judges.
There was also hand balancer Andrey Morau who kept his shirt on — but it was a loose-fitting shirt and his graceful performance didn’t involve staying rightside-up very often so he pretty much performed shirtless.
Magician Patrick might be the rare magician showing as much skin as his female assistants.
Yes, Eion Macken was shirtless again on The Night Shift.
His chest also made an appearance in the new intro sequence
As did J.R. Lemon‘s back
However, this week the beefcake was primarily provided by Brendan Fehr, who started out the episode in an MMA cage fight. He’s too extreme to worry that smashing his hand into some guy’s face will lead to injury until it happens.
It would be wrong to overlook the guy he was fighting.
This week, most of the guys auditioning on So You Can Dance danced with a shirt on. Thankfully, returning dancer Shafeek Westbrook stripped off his top amid his audition.
There was also the return of “Johnny Waacks“.
Stanley Glover used his long, lean body to deliver a “creature-like” dance.
This was a very good week for shirtless hunks on the soaps Tuesday’s Days of Our Lives saw things get hot and heavy for J.J. Deveraux (Casey Moss) and… er, Ann? Egg?
Then on Thursday, Brady (Eric Martsolf) took most of the episode to put clothes on. First he was sleeping off an especially wild night.
Then he needed to send Theresa out for more shampoo. I guess whenever Brady was going to go shopping Theresa distracted him with drugs.
Friday’s General Hospital was one of those great days that started with Nathan (Ryan Paevey) getting out of the shower. The great thing about those days is that Nathan keeps getting distracted every time he thinks about putting some clothes on, it takes a while for him to get dressed.
Thursday saw Aussie Levi (Zachary Garred) do some shirtless yoga outdoors.
And on Hulu, Hollyoaks delivered a lot of shirtless guys. Monday offered more of Dodger (Danny Mac) helped Dennis unload a van.
Tuesday, delivered a little bit of Joe Roscoe (Ayden Callghan) in bed.
And Thursday saw Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) dance his clothes off as he expected some quality time with Nancy, which was spoiled when his half-brother walked through the door.
