If I remember correctly, that first hour is usually just casting and preview stuff. When UPN used that as the premiere a few years ago into VM first episode, I don't even think it pulled 4 million people. This could put Gossip Girls off to a shaky start.
You really can't compare the two because Veronica Mars did awful no matter what sort of lead-in it had. If Gossip Girl does indeed premiere after the premiere of ANTM, I would think that the ANTM episode would feature the first elimination and just skip all the casting stuff.
