As if you needed another reason to watch Spartacus, this is a sexy pic of slave turned warrior, Saxa (Ellen Hollman). The photo is part of an ongoing, β€œIn the Tub” series which benefits breast cancer research. Here’s what you need to watch this weekend.

Friday

Spartacus @ 9pm, Starz: You call them marauders, I call them pirates. Either way, Spartacus needs to strike a deal or risk starving his people.

The Job @ 8pm, CBS: Someone gave Mark Burnett another reality show. This one’s about…jobs. No way, you got that from the title?

Nikita @ 8pm, The CW: Nikita heads to Kosovo, presumably to kick some Bosnian/Serb ass.

Saturday

Saturday Night Live @ 11:30pm, NBC: Justin Bieber pulls double duty this week as host and musical guest.

Kansas-Oklahoma @ 4pm, ESPN: Could the Jayhawks lose three games in a row for the first time in history?

Rugby Sevens @ 4pm, NBC: I get it, rugby’s not your thing. But trust me, 7-man is entertaining.

Sunday

Grammy Awards @ 8pm, CBS: Entertainers have been warned to cover up lest some poor teenage kid at home accidentally see Beyonce’s upper thigh and get a boner.

Downton Abbey @ 9pm, PBS: Yes, I’m recommending this show and yes, I’ve never watched it…sadly, I might add.

House of Lies @ 10pm, Showtime: If this show gets a third season, I’ll be shocked. Though I do enjoy watching Kristen Bell.
