Depending on how you look at it, two networks shared last night’s crown. CBS may have grabbed the viewers, but ABC had it where it counts: the demos.

- Kid Nation (6.91 million, 2.1/6 in 18-49) placed fifth in the important age group.
9pm
- Despite mixed review, Private Practice (12.42 million, 4.9/13 share) took the hour’s demos with ease.
- At 14.55 million, CBS’ Criminal Minds (3.9/10) won the night in viewers.
- Bionic Woman (10.28 million, 3.9/10) continued its losing race against Practice.

America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 9: The Girl Who Goes Bald
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model,
Back at home after Kimberly’s ousting, Victoria wrestled with her emotions about the competition in general. Unlike her roommates, the college nerd didn’t spend her whole life dreaming about modeling. Only recently did she realize this was something she wanted. Meanwhile, Saleisha made it known that she would never be seen in the Bottom Two like Bianca (who was still shaken up by the last judge’s panel).
The next day the girls arrived at the Ken Paves (a.k.a ‘I’m Jessica Simpson’s BFF’) Salon for their highly-anticipated makeovers. This has come to be my favorite part of the ANTM season. It’s the time when untapped vanity rears its ugly head. Some gal will eventually start crying because she doesn’t feel like the prettiest thang in high-school anymore. But, as always, most are grateful for their improvements.

Beauty and the Geek: ‘It’s Not Rocket Science’
Posted by David Onda Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, The CW, Editorial,
It’s three episodes into the fourth season of The CW’s Beauty & The Geek (my guilty pleasure) and we have lost two very likable teams: Tony and Amanda and Hollie and Josh. And it sucked to say goodbye to such good personalities – Tony, the lovable Asian, and Hollie, the adorable Betty Boop impersonator. Adding to the sting is that fact that the players who keep winning (i.e. Will, his tramp Rebecca and man-beauty Sam) are the least likable of all. I suppose every show needs a villain.
We enter this week’s episode with the continuation of a blossoming romance between Sam (the man-beauty who was 1/2 of this season’s “twist”) and Rebecca. Stupid Sam invited his airheaded crush to join him on the top bunk for some hanky-panky, knowing full-well that his partner Nicole (the girl-geek “twist”) was in the bunk below. The ensuing awkward situation upset the fragile Nicole who had even offered to shack up elsewhere if he ever needed the room. Nicole then distanced herself from Sam so as to avoid confronting him about it. Sam dopily discussed feeling bad about it in a confessional.
Read the rest of the recap and find out which geek tricked his/her partner after the jump.

‘Gossip Girl’ Fans To Get a Full Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Announcements,
Strong word-of-mouth has earned CW newbie, Gossip Girl, a full-season order. The Josh Schwartz (Chuck) series is a perfect replacement for those who loved his last production, The O.C. The show stars Blake Lively (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) as Serena van der Woodsen, a girl who returns to her vicious private school after mysteriously leaving town. Leighton Meester plays Blair Waldorf, Serena’s former best friend and current frenemy.
The catty series has so far proven to be a much darker version of our typical teenage dramas (imagine The O.C. plus Heathers). And with voyeuristic narration supplied by the anonymous ‘gossip girl’, things get to be so much cattier.
For those who have not yet watched the series, it’s not too late. The first two episodes are currently hot iTunes downloads. Once you get yourself caught up, you can find Gossip Girl on Wednesdays @ 9pm on The CW. I promise you—the backstabbing here is much more exciting than that Private Practice/Bionic Woman battle. Plus - you’ll come to learn valuable fashion lessons. Had I not watched last week, how would I have known that blue eyeshadow was back?
