One team is picked winner and the other a loser, but mostly the families are happy to have their places redone. Nate Berkus hosts.

On “The Walking Dead” (AMC, 9 p.m.), the second to last episode of a season is usually one of the best. We’ve reached that here.
Of course they weren’t going to eliminate Brenchel last week on “The Amazing Race” (CBS,8 p.m.), even though they came in last. After all, being on reality shows is their job. They try to catch up in Shri Lanka.
It could be worse for them. They could be on “Naked and Afraid” (Discovery, 8,9 and 10 p.m.).
