While other networks concern themselves with scripts, acting, and production value, the CW continually goes with its two main staples: Tom Welling and eye candy. With Welling(‘Smallville’, Cheaper By The Dozen 2) busy saving the world with terrible dialogue each week, CW executives will turn up the heat(and down the intelligence) on Tuesday night when it will premiere ‘Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For The Next Doll.’
Everyone knows who the 5 Pussycat Dolls are: Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Danny something, and that other dude. No? That’s not them. Actually, no one is really sure who the six group members are because they seem to change more than a Latin American president. In all there has been sixteen members of the Pussycat Dolls(including Carmen Electra), and the current incarnation has six.
On Tuesday’s premiere episode, the eighteen girls will meet lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and the rest of the “band”. Unbeknownst to them, half will be immediately cut. This should produce obscene amounts of backstabbing, bitchiness, and possibly one good cat fight.
Extra cohost and all around toolbox Mark McGrath has signed on to host. It’s unclear whether he will also compete.
So will it be worth watching on Tuesday night? If you’re the type of person who likes watching eighteen beautiful young women prance around in tiny outfits, stab each other in the back, starve themselves, and embarrass their parents all in the name of temporary fame, then yes. I know I’ll be tuned in.
