Watching The CW

Beauty and the Geek is down to the last three teams on the season finale - Chris and Cara, Tommy and Amanda, Matt and Leticia.

Wow, all the shows I watch are ending this week, whatever will I do next week?

The first challenge is going to eliminate one couple right away. The couples have to prove how well they know each other by answering questions. Immediately, I think Tommy and Amanda won’t know each other very well, since I feel like we know nothing about Amanda.

The first couple to get three questions right is Chris and Cara. I was surprised, cause I really thought it would be Matt and Leticia. But actually, Matt and Leticia lose out on the sudden death question and Tommy and Amanda make it through.

They are about to go into their final challenge, and they are told there is no way they can prepare. But wait, did he just say the team will make a quarter of a million dollars? So let me get this straight, they go through all this just to split $250,000? It’s totally not worth it.

So they bring everyone back to spend the last night in the mansion. I find it so sad to see Tommy still hung up on Amber. I don’t get it. So then we have a little drama with Christina, Tara and Amanda, all over rumors that Christina supposedly spread. Amanda is letting all the drama get to her. Women never seem to realize that guys generally don’t even notice the drama unless someone is actually crying on their shoulder. And maybe not even then unless they happen to be wearing a special sports jersey or something that they thought you were gonna ruin.

They wake up the next day and everyone is missing. The teams get three hours to drive around Los Angeles and find the missing people. They get a limo, a computer and some clues. The team who returns with the most people wins. Chris and Cara seem to be thinking too much, but maybe that’s just what they want us to think. But Chris and Cara do seem to be one step ahead of Tommy and Amanda.

There’s less than half an hour left, and each team has 4 people. At this point, we don’t get to see what else happens, but they take us back to the mansion and start counting people who come out of the limos. We get up to the four we already know about, and then they build the suspense while we see if there is anyone else in the limos. There is! One more person is in Tommy and Amanda’s limo. I’m glad. Tommy was probably my favorite from the beginning.

We’re down to the last three on America’s Next Top Model - Anya, Fatima and Whitney. I’m happy Whitney has lasted as long as she has, but I wonder if they are ready to let a plus-sized model win. It seems like they like Anya, and I don’t get Anya, so we’ll see.

This week they are shooting a CoverGirl commercial and a print ad. Also, their pic will be on a bill board in Times Square.

I think they all looked a little robotic in the commercials. But I honestly think Whitney did best. As for the pictures, they all looked good, but Anya’s nose looked big. I’m not sure why they did that.

After the judges deliberate, only two chicks are going forward to the runway show, modeling clothing designed by Versace! The first person called is Anya. Leaving Whitney and Fatima. Both are in tears, but only one can go through and it’s Whitney. Which leaves us with two blonds to fight over the crown.

Next Nigel shoots them both for Seventeen magazine’s July cover. (Was that American flag touching the floor??) The covers look great.

As I watch them get prepped for the runway show, I realize that you have to be very secure in how you look, cause they are just baring it all in a room full of people. I could not do that. No way.

The whole runway show is like another world. I mean here is a room full of people who understand this whole fashion thing and really, really care about it. Its so far removed from actual life. I thought both girls did well, Whitney maybe looked a little hoochie, but in a sexy way, and Anya looked a bit scared, not as strong as Whitney.

In panel, they went back over the pics taken since the beginning. They both had good and bad pics and it was hard to tell from the judges comments who they liked best. I’ve liked Whitney best from the start, and it would be amazing to see a plus-sized model win.

America’s Next Top Model is . . . Whitney!!!

There are only four girls left on America’s Next Top Model: Whitney, Dominique, Fatima and Anya. What surprises me, yet again, is two of the most annoying are still here. That would be Dominique and Fatima. I haven’t liked them ever, since the beginning. But Whitney, the plus sized model, is still in the running and I don’t think any other plus sized model has ever made it this far. I did try to research it a bit, but since I didn’t see every single cycle, I’m not positive who the plus sized models were.

First off, we have a little recap of Whitney being in the bottom 2 for the past three weeks, and then some discussion of how Dominique is not well liked by the other girls but doesn’t care. Fatima and Anya just seem very focused on winning the next couple of challenges.

The Tyra Mail seems to suggest some sort of photo shoot. (”Take a picture. You might last longer.”) Ah, what happens is that they are going to be taught to take some pictures of each other. And of Paulina Porizkova. I think I would love to do that. Not that I’m much of a photographer, but I like to take pictures. Well, I like to look at pictures anyway. Dominique was clearly the worst, Anya was just OK; Fatima and Whitney were both really good. The challenge winner was Fatima, which was exciting as it was her first challenge win. I guess being focused really does help.

The photo shoot is a night shoot, with the girls dressed as 50’s movie stars, being stalked by the paparazzi. Plus, they get to be with some sexy Italian male models. Yum! Nigel Barkeris the photographer, which is always fun. Anya looked gorgeous, but she didn’t seem to know how to pose. Fatima has 50 extra frames, from winning the challenge, but she didn’t seem to use them to her advantage as much as she could have. She didn’t look at the camera and didn’t seem to really like the guy she was with. They had to stop her half way through and let her look at her pics. She didn’t do much better even then. Whitney, up next, always seems kinda like she’s just posing rather than showing real emotion. She’s so adorable, but just doesn’t come across the way I think she can. Dominique just looks scary. She still has that drag queen look and just does not look as glamorous or pretty as the other girls did. None of them did too well.

I think Dominique and Whitney are going to end up as the bottom 2. I hope it’s Dominique going home.

In panel, Anya’s pic was really good. Whitney’s was beautiful, but not exactly what they wanted. Dominique looked really bad, I thought. Fatima also looked beautiful, but again, didn’t really get what they wanted. And so, on to elimination, they are called in this order: Anya (no surprise there), Whitney (yay!! she’s not in the bottom 2 again). The bottom two are Dominique and Fatima. I could lose either one, but I’d rather it was Dominique, cause she’s been getting on my last nerve since Day One. Yes, Dominique is going home. Sorry to be so excited, but I really wanted her to go. It has to be kinda hard, when you think you’re so beautiful, to be told that your face is a problem. I’m just noticing, as they go through her pics, did her hair go from being streaked, to dark and then back to light again? Ah, well, I guess it doesn’t matter anymore.

Sorry there was no America’s Next Top Model review this week. I was out of town, unexpectedly, and so didn’t get a chance to watch. I did, however, DVR it and can now provide you with my exciting and interesting recap. *giggle*

This week the girls get fight training at a gladiator school. That was cool. I’d love to do that. Like dance moves or cheer leading or something. Then they only get 5 frames in a photo shoot challenge. The winner was Whitney, which made me happy, cause otherwise, it would have been Anya and she’s won like every other challenge. I was kinda sorry she chose to take Anya with her, but I guess it is more fun to shop with someone than alone.

One thing I notice is that both Fatima and Dominique over think everything. Maybe Anya does so well because she just does it.

Next they have a modern Renaissance photo shoot. With Tyra! I thought they mostly did OK, and the photos were beautiful. I’m not sure I thought that Dominique was really as good as they thought, but maybe that’s cause I don’t really like her. I think the bottom two are going to be Whitney and Katarzyna, and I hope it’s Katarzyna who goes home, cause she just doesn’t seem to have any personality.

On to panel, the girls were called in this order: Fatima, Dominique, Anya. Well, I was right about the bottom two. I hope I’m right about who is going home. I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope . . . yessssss! Whitney stays. I’m so glad, cause I would be so happy to see a plus sized model win this. It would be incredible.

Well, we say goodbye to Katarzyna this week. It is sorta sad, because its like they all just finally learned to say her name properly.

Only six girls are left on America’s Next Top Model, and they are headed to Rome. I’m really glad to see that one of them is the “plus-sized” model, cause I don’t think any other plus sized person has made it so far before. Well, as I’m watching, Whitney says someone else plus-sized also made it this far. Maybe I’ll investigate. Later.

I don’t have a lot of time this week, so my review is gonna pretty much just stick to the facts.

So watching the show, Lauren is being loud and Fatima is being sick. But I don’t see Dominique being annoying. Apparently, even the camera people are tired of her.

First the girls go on a little rolling tour of Italian fashion. Didn’t those little carts look like fun? Then they get dressed up in Italian fashion and walk for some famous designer, Gai Mattiolo. Lauren has still not learned to walk. Once again, Anya won the challenge. Why does everyone like her so much?

Next, they have to do a Cover Girl commercial in Italian. This is always fun. Except when you have to watch it. I have to agree that Fatima was the best and I feel sorry for her cause she was sick and I thought she was gonna use that to excuse herself. But she didn’t.

On to panel, they were called in this order: Fatima, Katarzyna, Anya, Dominique. So the final two were Lauren and Whitney.

I was worried that Whitney would be going home, but I was glad that it was Lauren, cause she was getting on my nerves a bit. I was still wishing it could have been Dominique. Well, there’s always next week.

So here’s the deal, I was finally starting to keep the chicks straight on American Idol and America’s Next Top Model, and then I started watching Beauty and the Geek and The Bachelor. Not only was I completely confused as to who was who and which show they were on, I also found myself wondering something. Where do all these skinny brainless chicks come from anyway? Are they just churned out at a factory somewhere?

In any case, last night on The Bachelor was the part that starts to get interesting. They had home dates with the final four girls. Now, I’m finally willing to invest the time to learn their names. Last week, two women were eliminated, one was a psycho chick and the other thought she was America’s Next Top Model, so I was glad to lose them. So that left the four women who’s homes he visited. Don’t ask me where they all lived, though, cause I didn’t care enough to try to remember that. The chicks were Shayne, an “actress” who is the daughter of actor Lorenzo Lamas. I put the word actress in quotes, because I’m fairly certain her acting credits to this point have consisted of high school stage productions. In any case, Matt, this year’s British Bachelor, seems to really like her, even though I think she’s kinda young for him, 22 to his 27. Look, I’d be the first to admit that age is just a number, but trust me when I say that this kid is not the most emotionally mature person you’re ever gonna meet. But she is really, really hot. Plus, she has a family involved in acting, and my friend Sandy tells me that the word on the street is that this guy only agreed to do the show because he wants to be an actor. (Sandy is a great cyber researcher, and for “researcher,” you can read “stalker.”) So he may end up with Shayne. Personally, after the home visit, I would have run screaming, cause although Lorenzo has held up well over the years, and you can still just see the young boy who played the other love interest for Olivia Newton-John’s Sandy on Grease, Shayne’s mother has had one too many trips to the cutting table. Her face is just all weird and her mouth . . . it’s hard to describe . . . it sorta takes over half her face in an unnatural way, with a dark purply outline, but pale, pasty pink lips. I was scared.

Matt also visited the homes of the three other young ladies (I use that term pretty loosely here), Amanda, Chelsea and Noelle. Of those three, probably the most normal was Noelle, with nice parents, and two sisters, who all apparently live on a farm or somewhere with horses. Of course, he doesn’t choose her.

Chelsea, 25, to me is just sorta loud and obnoxious, and yet manages to hide any type of emotional connection. They both keep saying how great they are together, but I don’t see it. Her family did seem nice, though.

Finally, we have Amanda, 27. Amanda thought it would be a real hoot to hire actors to play her parents, and be as weird and annoying as possible. Her ersatz mother played a drunken slut who laughed inappropriately and made several passes at Matt. The father was just kinda rude. Finally, he walks in on Matt and the mother, who is all over Matt, and demands to know what’s going on. I was wondering the same thing. Why would Amanda waste so much of her time with Matt on something so silly. So, long after the rest of us have had enough, Amanda calls it quits and tells Matt she was pulling a practical joke on him. Ha ha. Yikes. Then he gets to meet her real family, but fortunately we really don’t have to sit through too much of that. If it was my choice, I’d have gotten rid of Amanda, just for that, but Matt clearly has a different sense of humor than me.

Next week, Matt takes the three remaining chicks for some fun in the sun in Barbados. I, for one, just can’t wait.

Lots of shows that I’ve been waiting for start up again this week. Well, to be honest, a couple started last week, like Bones, which is airing on Mondays at 8 pm ET on Fox, and Law & Order: SVU on NBC at 10 pm ET. There were 6 new eps of Bones and 5 of SVU. Actually, last week’s ep of SVU was one of the most disturbing I’ve seen in a long time.

So here is my TV schedule for this week (all times are ET):

Monday
Big Bang Theory - CBS - 8 pm
Bones - Fox - 8 pm
House - Fox - 9 pm (4 new eps start 4/28)
The Bachelor - ABC - 10 pm

Tuesday
American Idol - Fox - 8 pm
Beauty and the Geek - CW - 8 pm
Hell’s Kitchen - Fox - 9 pm
Reaper - CW - 9 pm (5 new eps)
Law and Order: SVU - NBC - 10 pm

Wednesday
America’s Next Top Model - CW - 8 pm
Back To You - Fox - 8:30 pm
American Idol - Fox - 9 pm

Thursday
Supernatural - CW - 9 pm (4 new eps)
Lost - ABC - 10 pm (5 new eps)

Friday
Sarah Jane Adventures - SciFi - 8 pm (new eps to air in US)
Doctor Who - SciFi - 9 pm (new eps to air in US)
Moonlight - CBS - 9 pm (4 new episodes)

Obviously, I’m gonna be pretty busy this week. Thank goodness for DVR.

On America’s Next Top Model we’re up to the last 7 girls. Which puts them in the same week as American Idol who also went from 7 to 6 last night. I wonder why I never made that connection in all these weeks.

Whitney pointed out that as a plus sized model, she’s still there. It makes me wonder how long any other plus sized model lasted in other cycles of the show. I may have to check that out.

So Fatima isn’t an American? How do these people get on these shows? This is America’s Next Top Model. I’m sorry, shouldn’t only people who are American get to compete? I’m not saying they have to have been born here, I just mean they should be actual citizens at the point in time they try out.

This week Paula teaches the girls to make conversation. Or she tries to. Some of them are so awkward. I know, they are young.

So then the girls decide to cook. And, of course, Lauren cuts her thumb. She’ll live. Meanwhile, Fatima may not be able to leave the country with the rest of girls and so maybe forfeited out of the competition. OK, didn’t she ever see this show before? Didn’t she know they always go overseas? And what about the producers, didn’t they know?

Then the chicks get to go to a “green” carpet event hosted by 7-up. The girls wear Jay Godfrey dresses (really pretty!) and get to talk to a reporter from The Insider. The best part for me was when Dominique said “Jay Giorgio” when they asked her what she was wearing. I love it when she does something stupid, because she’s so arrogant. Also a plus was when Lauren said she could “kick the ___ out of those girls anytime” (that’s how they showed it, so use your imagination) cause it was fun. And for the first time, Stacy Ann got to show that she thinks a heck of a lot of herself as well.

Anya won the competition, which surprised me, cause she’s not one of girls I like that much. She’s OK, I just don’t really get her. She got paid $10,000 for doing a shoot for 7-up. So that was cool.

Then there was a commercial where Saleisha talks about voting. She tells us she’s never voted before, but now that she’s a role model, she has to vote and tell people about voting. I don’t get that. But I’m someone who has voted, since the age of 18, in every single election she could, including primaries. I mean, why wouldn’t someone vote? Especially, since women had to fight so hard to get that right.

The photo shoot this week is them all running to catch their plane. Fatima, in the meantime, had to leave to go deal with her travel documents, so she’s missing the shoot. She does get the papers she needs, but doesn’t get back to the shoot in time. Watching the girls in the shoot, it does seem like they are all trying too hard. They come right from the shoot into panel and an elimination. From here, they are actually leaving to go abroad.

I think this is the first cycle they don’t all go overseas and then send someone right back home from there. I guess it saves money.

Tyra does tell Fatima that as a result of missing the photo shoot, she could get eliminated. But I thought they were also pretty hard on Stacy Ann and Whitney. I’m also wondering if they are really going overseas? Since they keep talking about going away sort of tongue in cheek, it makes me think something might be up.

Into eliminations. The first person called was Anya, which is no surprise. Then, Lauren, Dominique, Katarzyna, Whitney (yes!! I was worried). The bottom 2 are Fatima and Stacy Ann.

In the end, the judges felt that Fatima had a better body of work than Stacy Ann, and that Stacy Ann had grown as much as she was going to, so Fatima goes on and Stacy Ann goes home.

Oh, and I guess I was wrong, cause they are going overseas, to Rome.

Last week on America’s Next Top Model, we lost Clare. Let’s hope this week its Dominique. She has consistently gotten on my nerves since the first week. I’m sure this week will be no exception.

It turns out this episode is just a recap of what has happened since the beginning. It was pretty dull, cause I saw it all before and I didn’t care that much. I wanted to see new stuff. Sure, there were some clips that we hadn’t seen before, but it was all about stuff that was of the past. I don’t get why they needed to do an episode like this right now. Things were just starting to get going and now they stopped all the action and made us go back and look at people who are gone. If they’re gone, I don’t care about them anymore. Maybe it because when Kim left in the beginning, they also let someone go, so they had a week to waste now. But I wish they hadn’t wasted it on me.

One of Dominique’s amazingly incoherent and annoying statements: “I wanna be like freaking Mother Theresa, but in a diva kinda way, okay?” What does that even mean?? Apparently, she want to be an evil benefactor.

We did get to see a couple of the firemen (from that one runway class) show off their walk. Also, they had a wrestling show down, probably brought on from too much underage drinking, which we hadn’t seen before, and it seemed like they got a little violent. But I’m sure it was all in fun. We did get to see them have fun in the house, taking pics of themselves posing, Marvita walking around naked and playing and singing (with a remarkable lack of talent), and just hang out and laugh. That was interesting.

So, all in all, this week was an hour out of my life that I’m never getting back.

Once again, this week on America’s Next Top Model, Dominique has managed to annoy me in like the first 3 minutes. Also, I wasn’t impressed with the way Lauren was acting over the coffee thing with Fatima.

Watching the girls on the go-sees, I just wonder why they let such immature kids out into the world on their own. They just seem so incapable of even finding their way around. Although, I have to admit that this group did better than some of the past groups have done. I felt sorry for Whitney at that first go-see, when they told her they only used size 2 models. They may think size 10 is plus sized, but to me it’s small. I’d be thrilled to get into a size 10. Of course, I’m not a model.

I was glad that Whitney’s team won the challenge, although I did wish Dominique wasn’t part of it. I want to remember to look out for the June issue of Seventeen magazine so I can see the ad they shot. I’m not gonna buy it, you understand, I’ll just check it out at the library.

The water shoot seemed like fun, but then I began to wonder if they changed the water between each shoot, cause other wise they are all lying in each other’s dirty water. Yuck. The photos looked really cool, though.

In one of my earlier reviews, I gave my first impressions of the girls, so I thought this week I’d give my current impressions:

Clare - just tries too hard and keeps missing the boat.
Stacy Ann - doesn’t seem to have any drive.
Katarzyna - really just doesn’t show any personality.
Whitney - definitely my favorite, but might have a bit of a chip on her shoulder about being plus-sized.
Dominique - is way, way, way too full of herself.
Fatima - beautiful, and seems to have learned from her past experiences on the show.
Anya - seems too quiet, so you don’t have any idea who she is.
Lauren - just too awkward and gawky.

So into panel, the girls were called in this order: Fatima, Anya, Katarzyna, Whitney, Stacy Ann, Dominique.

Bottom Two: Lauren and Clare. And Clare is out. I guess it was pretty obvious, since this was her second week in a row in the Bottom Two.

As I watch America’s Next Top Model this week, and they show the girls fussing and fighting, I wonder, do the judges see any of this stuff during the competition? What do they think of it and does it affect the way they think about the girls? Just a thought.

Once again, we start off with Dominique causing conflict as usual. She so needs to go. She just doesn’t understand boundaries. I was sorry to see her get upset, but she causes that havoc all on her own. I really wouldn’t like to see her win, not until she grows up a little, anyway. Fatima was much better this week. We hardly saw her at all.

Tyra took them to the dance studio for a posing contest, to show pain. Anya won and was awarded a one-on-one photo shoot with Nigel. But it was nude on a bed. What was that about? I would be so uncomfortable naked in a room full of men. I would have been glad to lose that contest.

The photo shoot is different types of music: heavy metal, emo, pop, country, folk, punk, house (what the heck is that anyway?), r&b and grunge. I thought Whitney and Lauren did really well.

I like Dominique less and less as time goes on. She is so completely full of herself.

Into panel. I thought all the pictures looked pretty cool this week, and better than I thought they would when I heard what the shoot was about.

So they called up and this is the order: Whitney, Katarzyna, Fatima, Lauren, Anya, Dominique, Stacy Ann. The Bottom 2: Clare and Aimee.

And Aimee is out. I felt sorry for her, cause Clare was so excited, she just jumped up and grabbed the pic and left her back there. But it was time, cause Aimee never really seemed to do well.

On America’s Next Top Model this week, I didn’t think the show was that good. I guess it’s cause I’m still a little confused about the posing stuff. I don’t really understand the difference between commercial, catalog and couture. All the poses look the same to me. But I guess that’s why I’m not a model.

I’d barely seen ten minutes of the show, when I began to wish we’d lose Dominique this week. Mostly cause I’m so tired of her talking about herself in the third person. But then things hardly ever happen the way I want them to happen. At least Fatima got a little scared by being in the bottom two last week, maybe it will make her a little more humble.

I hated to see Whitney in the bottom two, because they never keep a plus sized model very long on this show and I just don’t like it. Of course their idea of plus sized is a size 8, so I’m always kinda crazed that anyone would consider Whitney fat. She doesn’t look fat to me at all. Just normal sized. Plus, she’s easily has the most classically beautiful face there. But I think that’s a big problem with our society today, cause everyone shouldn’t feel like they have to be a size zero to be pretty. Personally, I’d love to see a plus sized person win.

In the end, I guess it was better to see Marvita leave. I have to say though, that as I watched the rundown of her pics to date, I could see that she got progressively less good, but I feel really sorry for her. I think she could have done better if she had more time. Now where is she gonna end up?

I found an interesting little article about this year’s crop of beauties on America’s Next Top Model.

Apparently, the young ladies aren’t exactly house trained. It’s been alleged by the owner of the apartment where they stayed in New York City that the wrecked the place, causing $500,000 worth of damage. This was a $6 million loft apartment, mind you. Allegedly, the had food fights, leaving food and make up stains all over the place. They also broke a chandelier that cost $15,000. There was also water damage, and holes in the ceiling and wood floors. The owner is considering a lawsuit against the show.

I found this pretty interesting, because I’ve always thought those girls shouldn’t be left to their own devices. They pretty clearly show each cycle that they aren’t mature enough to live on their own without major conflict. Personally, I think it would add a whole new dimension to the show to see a house mother living with the girls. Someone who could sort out the little domestic disputes and keep an eye on any indiscretions.

Maybe it wouldn’t go over well with the viewers, since it might cut down on some of the drama on the show, but I think it could also make for some other interesting happenings. She could be like a spy, and sit in at panel for the behavior perspective. Even though when they have attitudes, it usually comes out on the shoots, sometimes they don’t find out about stuff that they should. And even if its not necessary that they have some of those facts, it would be more fun if they did.

So think about it. Would you like a house mother on ANTM?

I had to DVR America’s Next Top Model again this week as I wasn’t around to see it live. But I actually like that better, since I can fast forward through anything I just don’t want to deal with. It was also a good thing I did, because I was so annoyed by Dominique’s crap, I had to go back and watch it again. Why is she so conceited???

Then there is Lauren on the other side, so completely humble. And Amis is just annoying. She looks like she should be old enough to know better, but I have to remember that they are all still very young.

Fatima acts like she’s above the rest of them. She really didn’t walk well, either.

I didn’t like those chicks picking on Whitney. I’m not sure if she does really stir up trouble, but it seems to me that she mostly tries to defend people who are being picked on. Although, she did side with whatshername last week (the one who was eliminated and whose name I have already forgotten and am to lazy to go look up) in the Barbie doll fight, which wasn’t cool.

Katarzyna definitely should have won the walkway challenge, but I felt bad when she chose Amis and Marvita to go with her. Neither of them was as good as some of the others.

As an aside, watching Saleisha (from last cycle) in the Cover Girl commercials is a bit uncomfortable. She talks like a robot. This. is. my. life. as. a Cover Girl. Its just weird.

As for the photo shoot, it was really gross for them to have to put on that raw meat. I’m not a vegan or anything, but after that I’m about ready to be. I’m a firm believer in having my meat thoroughly cooked - burnt even - so raw meat makes me want to yak.

If it was my call, I’d get rid of Amis or Fatima. Both are annoying.

I could barely look at the pics, cause the meat thing really grosses me out. And I notice in Tyra’s picture, she didn’t have to wear any meat.

So Fatima stays and Amis leaves. I think that’s probably right, cause Amis didn’t seem to care that much. I must say, that she was very mature in her final words, so maybe all her goofiness was just her being nervous. I hope she does well in the future.

In my Internet travels today, I came across an article detailing the shows that the CW is renewing for next season.

The show I’m most excited about is Supernatural. I was nervous and so was the show’s creator, Eric Kripke. But luckily for all of us, the CW has renewed Supernatural for a fourth season!! And there’s still new eps to air this year, so as far as I’m concerned, its all good.

The CW also renewed Smallville for it’s 8th (and probably last) season. I’ve read elsewhere that they are probably gonna use this season to tie up all the ends and bring Superman up to true Clark Kent adulthood. I’m just not sure how they plan to make him a nerd with glasses.

Other shows renewed by the CW are Gossip Girl for its 2nd full season, One Tree Hill for a Season 6, and sitcom, Everybody Hates Chris. Also, America’s Next Top Model was renewed for both an 11th and 12th cycle. No word yet on new shows Reaper and Aliens in America. I’d like to see Reaper renewed cause I think the show has potential. Don’t forget that there are still three new eps of Reaper to watch starting this week on Thursday, March 13 at 9:00 pm. You should check it out and see what you think if you haven’t seen it yet.

Finally, don’t forget Beauty and the Geek. The fifth season premieres tonight, Tuesday, March 11 at 8 pm. It’s worrisome that it would premiere opposite the Top 12 singing from the Lennon/McCartney songbook on American Idol, but that’s why we have DVRs, right?
