Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Ratings,
Both ABC and CBS had to take a back seat to baseball last night. Game 1 of the World Series was a huge ratings victory for FOX.
8pm
- Approximately 16.7 million fans rallied for the Red Sox/Rockies game (5.6/14 in 18-49 demo).
- Pushing Daisies (9.4 million, 3.0/8) wilted a bit from last week.
- The debut of Phenomenon (8.4 million, 2.9/8) underperformed Deal or No Deal’s usual numbers, but it remained close to Daisies in the demos.
- Kid Nation (8 million, 2.5/7) was slightly up from last Wednesday; America’s Next Top Model (4.7 million, 2.3/6) was slightly down.
9pm
- Both Criminal Minds (14.9 million, 3.9/19 in 18-49) and Private Practice (11.8 million, 4.5/11) remained even with last week.
- Bionic Woman (7.8 million, 3.3/8) saw another decline.
- Gossip Girl (1.2/3) held steady from last Wednesday.
10pm
- CSI: NY (13.6 million, 3.8/10 in 18-49) took the hour’s viewers and demos.
- Dirty Sexy Money (8.6 million, 3.2/8) pretty much repeated last week.
- Life (6.8 million, 2.5/6) was at least consistent; it lost viewers (900,000) again.

America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 9: The Girl Who Gets A Mango
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Editorial, Features,
Note to future contestants: If you want to become America’s Next Top Model, it would be advisable to learn something from your time before the judges. Realizing she received a loud wake-up call at the last elimination, Ambreal made a call of her own —to her dad for a little prayer. Hoping to break from her side-profile tendencies, Heather sought posing advice from a surprisingly friendly Bianca. Then there was sour-faced Ebony. Although she felt her personality was far from dry (is that better than having a ‘prickly’ personality like Victoria?), she vowed to smile more for the judges.
Interrupting a lazy day at home, Jenah opened up the front door to welcome a surprise guest. Much to the shaggy-haired model’s dismay, the hunky Tyson Beckford was standing right in front of her. As the news rippled through their pad (Testosterone in the house! Testosterone in the house!), bursts of shrieks and screams could be heard. Once the girls were all quieted down, they all gathered round to listen to whatever he had to say. The world-famous male model was sent by Tyra for a purpose: he was there to give them tips on being a spokesmodel. For their instruction, Tyson asked the ladies to grab any object out of the kitchen. The goal was for them to promote any product thrown their way. Interestingly enough, not only did he not demonstrate his own selling techniques, he apparently told them to sound like phone-sex operators. From popsicles to glasses and mangoes, the ladies pimped their products without any shame…and Tyson loved every minute of it. (I’m sure the CoverGirl reps will appreciate what the future winner ends up bringing to their table.)

- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): The show returns tonight after being preempted by baseball last week. What? You don’t care either?
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Many fans have been waiting for Kristen Bell’s debut tonight. Unfortunately, she’s one more new character I’ll have to ignore.

Is Tyra Banks a Sociopath?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, America’s Next Top Model, Talent, Editorial, Features,
I’m not a psychologist or a psychiatrist; my training in that department goes only up to and including my Psych 101 class freshman year at Cornell. I’m just somebody who watches a bunch of TV, and watches clip shows like “The Soup” which boils down even more TV for me. All this having been said however, let me say this: I think Tyra Banks is a sociopath.
That’s not a value judgment at all. I guess it’s not technically a mental health judgment either because of my aforementioned lack of psychological training. But here’s the thing: I’ve been watching Top Model for a few seasons now, I’ve seen many clips of her talk show (I tried sitting through a whole episode and I just … yeah, no), and something’s always bothered me about Ty Ty Baby and I could never quite put my finger on it. Finally, though, when I saw Tyra salute herself on her talk show for being a trailblazer in African-American history (she was the first person of color to appear as the cover girl on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition), it all came to me.
She’s not just a narcissist; Tyra Banks has absolutely no sense of empathy. Having no ability to empathize is what (many websites tell me) catapults someone from simple narcissism to sociopathy.
