Brad Womack returns to ABC tonight to try to find love again, and will face the two women he rejected (Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas), an event that turned him into a villain but saved The Bachelor by making it relevant and interesting again. The man who producers first approached about fronting the 15th season, The Bachelorette runner-up Chris Lambton, says he rejected the show and a mid-six-figure paycheck because he didn’t like the way…

Sea Shepherd, whalers’ claims "impossible to verify," AP says; do they not know of Whale Wars?

admin — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 22:56:49 +0000

Is it possible that the Associated Press has no knowledge of Animal Planet’s outstanding reality series Whale Wars, which documents the Southern Ocean battles between Sea Shepherd conservationists and Japanese whalers? It certainly seems like that, because in a story about Sea Shepherd finding the whaling fleet–before they were able to start whaling–the AP’s Kristen Gelineau writes, “Every year, Japan and Sea Shepherd make claims of aggression against each other, but the accounts are generally..

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics found that the teen birth rate dropped among all groups in 2009, the year that 16 and Pregnant debuted, and a survey reveals that teens say the show has helped them not get pregnant, probably by scaring the bejeezus out of them.

Fabio says Survivor jury "deviated" from Ponderosa voting plan

admin — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 15:48:39 +0000

In the interview, Fabio said, “I thought I…

Survivor Nicaragua’s move back to Wednesday nights didn’t impact the show’s ratings, but this weak season was reflected in the ratings of the finale, which was the lowest-rated ever, and actually lost more than 3 million viewers between the first and second half-hours. About 17.236 million viewers tuned in during the first half-hour, but in the 8:30 half-our, just 13.895 million people were watching. They stuck around for the rest of the show and the…
