According to Media Life the CW did well with its premieres:
The network’s buzzy second-year show “Gossip Girl” debuted to its best-ever ratings in the network’s target women 18-34 demographic, according to Nielsen overnights, averaging a 2.3 rating and finishing a close second behind Fox’s “Prison Break” in the 8 p.m. timeslot.

“Girl,” which launched a racy campaign earlier this summer that included criticism from the Parents Television Council as part of the promotion, also hit series-high ratings among women 18-34 (3.2), women 18-49 (2.3) and adults 18-49 (1.7).
The show drew its second-best numbers among total viewers, averaging 3.4 million, behind last year’s premiere. Last year, “Girl” had the advantage of airing behind “America’s Next Top Model,” the CW’s top-rated show.
For Sunday night, those are not good numbers for Big Brother. I think it should be doing better than that, even if the Sunday edition is usually the lowest rated.
For Monday night, those are good numbers for Gossip Girl, It was what I was expecting, and the CW should be really happy with that. I think it's finally livingup to its hype with the start of this season. The numbers for Prison Break are not good at all - for a show that had a 2-hour premiere, it should have gotten at least 8 million on Labor Day, yet it didn't even break 7 million. I think Labor Day had something to do with it, though, and we'll probably see an increase next week.
I thought more people would have tuned into Deal or No Deal last night. I'm sure the last half hour did great - it was probably the first half hour that brought the total down. I was glad to see someone finally win the million, though, and it couldn't have happened to a better contestant!

He is usually not this late with the numbers after they have been released.
He probably fainted when he saw Gossip Girl's numbers.
I hope he gives is the half hour breakdown for DoND when he does post...and it looks like all his data will be abreviated anyway since Nielsen is declining to release any numbers for the Republican Convention.
Dan might have a better chance against Memphis (because he won that car) than he would against Jerry, but I doubt he would win against anyone.
Overall though. It's great that there is no one in that house left that repulses me. I wouldn't want it to be a season where someone like Maggie, June, or Boogie won.

I'm rooting for him and Dan for game play reasons and I really hope that Dan decides to stick it to him in the final 3 and takes someone like Jerry to the finals with him. I don't think Dan can beat Memphis.
It's amazing to me that Gossip Girl only manages 3.4 million with all that promotion from this summer. One Tree Hill in its 6th season performs equally as well with no fanfare from the network.

I truly despise Dan and hope he doesn't win. He'd be the worst winner, although Dan/Memphis would only be the second worst final two. In that case, I'd rather see Memphis win, but it's always the person I like less.

Is what a joke? the RNC coment? No, not a joke. Since nothing was going on at the convention, many stations chose to offer hurricane coverage instead. If final numbers were released, the RNC would be under 2million viewers. Given all the preemptions, Nielsen has stated that they will not release final numbers for last night's RNC.
