• Chloe Lukasiak, one of the original members of the Abby Lee Miller girls on “Dance Moms,” is back on the program and has her own spinoff show.

• Syfy just announced a new spinoff, “Game Face.” Four former “Face Off” allstars compete each week in three challenges and the winner gets $10,000. McKenzie Westmore hosts, with Ve Neill and Rick Baker as judges. The seven episodes begin Aug. 22 (10 p.m.).

• One has to hand it to “MasterChef” (Wednesdays, 8 p.m.). Some reality shows change up the rules to annoying effect, but this week’s episode (beyond Gordon Ramsay getting into an expletive-filled, testostero­ne fest with one of the contestant­s) was a doozy.

Yachecia Holston, a minister from Detroit, captained the losing team on a swanky breakfast team challenge (although the menu at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills was more lemon ricotta pancakes and eggs Benedict than truffle quiche).

She was given a choice: take immunity for herself, or allow five of the six other members of her team to gain immunity. She would then face a fish-and-chips skills cook-off against the member not sent to the balcony.

Ms. Holston stepped up the plate, giving Caitlin Jones, a dancer from Peters, and four others the immunity. She then faced down Jennifer Williams, a debt collector from Louisiana prone to panickingu­nder pressure.

They both acquitted themselves well, but in the end the preacher won.
