Unfortunately for CW, good luck did not come in threes. Despite impressive debuts for Gossip Girl and 90210, the 11th cycle of America’s Next Top Model failed to impress. (In the show’s defense, it was pitted against stiff competition.) ANTM‘s performance gave FOX the chance to take over in the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- America’s Got Talent (10.2 million, 2.7/7 in 18-49) was Wednesday’s most watched show.
- The two-hour premiere of Bones (9.7 million, 3.3/9) had the night’s best demos.
- Greatest American Dog (1.4/4) retrieved 4.9 million.
- Wife Swap* (3.7 million, 1.3/4) did slightly better than last week.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.5 million, 1.7/5) had its lowest premiere numbers to date.

- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): Season 2 premiere. “Summer in the Hamptons winds down as Serena and Nate carry on a cover-up scheme to make others think they’re dating.” A few choice pics sent to Gossip Girl should do the trick.
- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): Season 4 premiere. “Michael is in LA looking to even the score with Gretchen for Sara’s death.” I think Gretchen should really apologize for all of last season.
- One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm): Season 6 premiere. “Lucas’ chosen lady meets him at the airport, while Dan’s accident proves life-threatening.” Sorry. So not caring who Chad Michael Murray picks these days.
- Raising the Bar (TNT, 10pm): Series premiere. “Idealistic public defender Jerry Kellerman (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) fights for a man he’s sure is innocent, but holding a court is a judge who loathes Kellerman.” Gosselaar’s new hair has been generating some passionate opinions.

Paula Abdul said that Kara “will be speaking her mind,” on the show. “That’s a nice way of saying she’s bitchy,” Cowell interjected.

Could Paula Abdul be fighting more than just Simon Cowell next year?
Just hours after reporting that changes would be coming, it’s been announced that American Idol will be add a fourth judge next year. Someone who will be there permanently.
For the singing competition’s eighth season, fans will be introduced to Kara DioGuardi, a highly-respected songwriter/producer. As it turns out, DioGuardi already has a history with the reality show having written tunes for former contestants. Kara - whose songs have appeared on more than 100 million records - was behind such tracks as “Walk Away” (Kelly Clarkson) and “Love Story” (Katharine McPhee). Her name is also attached to hits by a number of other musicians including Christina Aguilera ("Ain’t No Other Man"), Gwen Stefani ("Rich Girl"), Ashlee Simpson ("Pieces of Me") and Enrique Iglesias ("Escape").

Simon Cowell Talks About Boring Season 7

Earlier this week, Simon Cowell made it known that changes - good or bad - will be a-coming.
The American Idol judge told reporters that given Nigel Lythgoe’s departure, he felt it was important to have more input for Season 8. As it was, Cowell felt a bit “bored” with last year’s contest - so this may be his only way of saving the show from sinking any further.
In an interview with reporters, Simon said that despite stories about overbearing stage dads and gay-stripping pasts, he thought Season 7 lacked the proper amount of controversy. By the time of the finale, he was left with no surprises.
“I felt I had known the contestants for years. And the other problem was that they were so media savvy, these contestants, that they never really showed us their true personalities - they were like robots. I didn’t know much more about them at the end than I did in the beginning. I think that it [’Idol’] could be more interesting and controversial than it was last year - you’re definitely going to see a change and I think it will be an improvement.”
But how exactly will he explain the pathetically low turnout in Puerto Rico? Can he make that look exciting? I guess we’ll just have to until next year to see what’s in store.
