This is an hour by hour breakdown of every night here on NITRO. I have no say in the final numbers when they are published. These are just my opinions.
Monday
8pm.
SBC have Jaws. RTN have Moving Out. ROD have Dallas Cowgirls Undercover. ICE have Truck Ladies.
This is quite a hard time slot to judge as I rate all these four shows. Dallas Cowgirls Undercover and Truck Ladies seem quite similar in plot. This could split the audience between the two shows. The thing which will help ROD is that DCU is linked with the WFL since most of the girls appear in the WFL. This could give ROD the edge over ICE in this battle. We still got to think though that some of the audience will get split between the two which makes both shows vulnerable. RTN air a comedy Moving Out which is different from the ROD and ICE programs. Moving Out I rate highly and for those viewers who aren't interested in either DCU or Truck Ladies could go to Moving Out. SBC start the day with Jaws for audiences looking for something that isn't women. Jaws has a sneaky chance here at knocking off the split ICE and ROD audiences.
Winner: Hard to predict but I think Moving Out could take the crown. The audience split between ICE and ROD could hurt them both and Jaws isn't strong enough for Moving Out.
8:30pm.
SBC have Jaws. RTN have Foreign Exchange. ROD have Dallas Cowgirls Undercover. ICE have Truck Ladies.
The audience split continues at 8:30pm with DCU and Truck Ladies. Jaws continues at 8:30pm and could grow slightly as well. The audiences could grow slightly with Moving Out only a half hour show. This all depends on how much Foreign Exchange bleeds if it bleeds at all. If Foreign Exchange bleeds a lot then it will be interesting to see where the audience goes. Jaws? DCU? TL? If it doesn't bleed at all and holds the audience for another half hour, it could be a good start for RTN.
Winner: I will say Foreign Exchange. It is just really hard to know if most of the audience will stay or go at 8:30pm.
9pm.
SBC have Law & Order: Los Angeles. RTN have Black Flag. ROD have WFL. ICE have The Carpenters Hour.
SBC have Law and Order which I don't rate to well. I see SBC not in the race for the win. RTN have Black Flag. While I do rate Black Flag, it is a bad time slot. It should beat Law and Order. Rod have the WFL, ICE have The Carpenters Hour. the 9pm time slot will come down to one thing for me. What is the Monday night WFL match? Is it a top of the table clash each week which will massively boost its ratings. Is it a bottom of the table clash which no one cares about. Something in the middle which only fans of those teams might watch. We know The Carpenters Hour will rate at 9pm. We know it will get numbers and big numbers. ROD have to hope MNF every week is a top of the table clash.
Winner: I have to go with The Carpenters Hour. I think it will be consistent. The WFL just has to many what ifs.
10pm.
SBC have CSI: Los Angeles. RTN have CVU. ROD have WFL. ICE have The Carpenters Hour.
SBC and RTN clash here with two detective shows which will divide any audience left over. Way behind the other two at 10pm. ROD have the WFL and ICE still have The Carpenters Hour. Not much more to say here about ROD and ICE as I covered it at 9pm. I think SBC and RTN will fall off the pace at 10pm.
Winner: The Carpenters Hour. It again depends on the WFL match. Is the WFL match close or has one team blown away the other team?
11pm.
SBC have nothing. RTN have Twisted Tales. ROD have WFL. ICE have Overnight Nurses.
SBC have nothing. Not a show called nothing, just nothing scheduled. RTN have Twisted Tales which looks to be based on The Twilight Zone. Twisted Tales could be a good rater if not behind the 10pm program. Twisted Tales will need some help to win. ROD have the WFL still going on in this time slot. With ICE now finished with The Carpenters Hour, the WFL should be able to pick up some numbers. I think it does depend on how the match is going though. If it is close then ROD will see a boost at 11pm. If it is one sided then most people might not go to ROD. Overnight Nurses on ICE will be a steady performer with a good lead in. I think if the WFL at 11pm is weak the Overnight Nurses could win the time slot.
Winner: Hard to say again with the WFL. I think the WFL needs to win the 11pm time slot. I will give the WFL the win here.
Overall Monday Results: ICE sneak home first. ROD very close second. RTN drops to third with a weaker finish. SBC fourth with nothing to show at 11pm.
Tuesday.
8pm.
SBC have Full House. RTN have 20. ROD have The Stella Sisters. ICE have Team ICE.
We start with two comedy shows, The Stella Sisters against Full House. I think the Stella Sisters has the edge over Full House in this comedy war. Reboots can be quite popular with people if done right but can also sag if people say the original is better. With this in mind I give the edge to the Stella Sisters at 8pm. 20 on RTN is quite an interesting choice here. I see 20 as a more violent show with the write up now available. We know that violence can work here in NITRO which gives this show a good chance at succeeding. Team ICE have the 8pm time slot here to win or lose. The audience will turn on Team ICE to see what game they are playing and who they are playing and how. This will decide the time slot. If the audience like what they see, they will stay. If they don't like the sport or the school or the team or the match could be too one sided then other networks will benefit.
Winner: ICE with Team ICE has the advantage. I think ICE will win the 8pm.
8:30pm.
SBC have Step By Step. RTN have 20. ROD have Baby Don't Rush. ICE have Team ICE.
By now for ICE the match would have started. The audience would have seen some of the match and some could probably tell if the match is close or one sided. If the match is close then Team ICE will do well in this time slot. If the match is one sided then it will hurt Team ICE as people will go to other channels. RTN still have 20 going so nothing new there. SBC have another rebooted show, this time Step by Step. While I think Full House could work at 8pm, I don't like Step by Step at 8:30pm. I think it is the weaker of the two. ROD have a new show called Baby Don't Rush. Baby Don't Rush is about a country couple who don't rush into a relationship together. Will it hold the audience The Stella Sisters or will it bleed and hurt the rest of the line up?
Winner: Team ICE here still.
9pm.
SBC have Rachel. RTN have Mental. ROD have Two More Bottles of Wine. ICE have Team ICE.
ICE continue with Team ICE. With the match half over, is the match still close? We will have to wait and see. SBC have Rachel which I have heard is one of there big shows of the night. I do not know a lot about this show other then SBC are pushing this show as much as they can. RTN have a new premiere Mental about a nurse in a violent mental hospital. Another violent outing here for RTN which could give good numbers. ROD continue with all country with Two More Bottles Of Wine. The owners of a karaoke bar. This show will rely on Baby Don't Rush at 8:30 holding fort after the 8pm lead in. Let's hope the number can hold for ROD.
Winner: Team ICE still.
9:30pm.
SBC have Sam & Brian: Friends. RTN have Mental. ROD have Somethin' Bad. ICE have Team ICE.
Team ICE still going on the ICE network. Will people hang around for two hours or will some leave and check out something else? We have RTN still on track with Mental. What kind of numbers can this violet show get against Team ICE and the two comedy blocks. ROD's next show is Somethin' Bad. This is an important show for ROD more then the normal as it leads into the 10pm time slot. Can Somethin' Bad give the 10pm a boost or will ROD bleed bad from The Stella Sisters. SBC continue there comedy line up with Sam and Brian: Friends. I think Sam and Brian is a decent show and should be able to drag good numbers. My question is what show or shows will have to dip at 9:30pm for Sam and Brian to have a good chance.
Winner: Team ICE. Will audiences watch all the way through?
10pm.
SBC have Queens of Motown. RTN have Serial Mum. ROD have Hayden's Country Hour. ICE have Kelly's Thugs.
This is a very hard hour to pick a winner. Every show here has a good chance of winning the hour. One network will feel hard done by when the numbers come out as all these shows in a weaker time slot could win the time slot easily. We start with RTN and Serial Mum. I do rate this new show about a mother who will do anything to get her daughter ahead including murder. The problem with Serial Mum is that it is going up against established shows. This could hurt Serial Mum or it could help if people want to check out something different. Hayden's Country Hour on ROD, not sure if live or on delay, has a big chance to win the time slot. Hayden is a strong performer on NITRO already proven. Hayden with some help of special guests can push this over the line. Kelly's Thugs for ICE has always been solid. It hasn't been a record break but it is a proven solid show. Queens of Motown on SBC has a solid backing from last season with good numbers. Queen of Motown should get a good lead in being in the middle of the comedy block and the comedy block on ROD ending at 10pm. Queens of Motown can sneak a win here if advertised enough.
Winner: Oh man. I really don't know. Every network has a chance to win this time slot. Every network could finish last as well. Really hard. I will go with ROD and Hayden as we know she rated high last season. Out of the 4 of them, I probably can't see Hayden finishing last.
10:30pm.
SBC have Gimme A Break! RTN have Serial Mum. ROD have Hayden's Country Hour. ICE have Kelly's Thugs.
SBC are the only network to change here at the 10:30pm slot. Gimme A Break has a great lead in from the 10pm time slot. I would be a little surprised if it was able to push for the victory with the other three shows. I see this show bleeding from Queens of Motown. When the audience that will probably leave SBC at 10:30, where will they go. RTN? ROD? ICE? What show is closest to the comedy blocks. I see some going to ROD probably to see what Hayden is up too. Hayden could benefit from this and if she is behind Kelly or Serial Mum at the 10pm time slot could win the 10:30pm session quite easily.
Winner: ROD with Hayden if I am correct with most of the audience going to ROD.
11pm.
SBC have nothing. RTN have Lesbian Rampage. ROD have Mine Would Be You. ICE have Chicago's Most Dangerous Bitch.
SBC have nothing again scheduled. They should sort this out and quickly. Rod have Mine Would Be You to finish off the country night. I see this show being squeezed in the ratings. ICE have CMDB which is a solid performer from last season. We know they will get some good numbers coming off Kelly's Thugs. RTN though have Lesbian Rampage. This show is about two lesbians going on a world wide rampage trying to kill as many men as possible forcing all women to become lesbians. This show has the ability to crush the 11pm ratings. Going up against CMDB is an interesting choice and could work against them but I think it will at least get second place if not first. Lesbians and violence, what a combo.
Winner: RTN and Lesbian Rampage. You really thought I was going somewhere else? CMDB will get solid numbers and could squeak in if Lesbian Rampage flops.
Overall Winner: If Team ICE can hold the numbers for two hours then ICE should win with a solid finish. RTN I will pick for second with the violent night they look to have. ROD to finish third just and SBC fourth. I think the two comedy blocks will hurt each other. Hard to pick though as SBC could finish second. One of those nights where the remaining three are all very close to each other on paper behind ICE.
Wednesday.
8pm.
SBC have Aria, The Pretty Little Bitch. RTN have Sarah. ROD have The Nanny Diaries. ICE have Teen Angels.
We start with a tough time slot to judge. 3 out of the 4 networks could win the slot. I think Sarah for RTN is in a bit of trouble. Sarah is another unique violent storyline coming out of the studios of RTN. I think it could work in a weaker slot but this slot is pretty tough. ICE have the ever reliable Teen Angels. I really like this show but maybe has met its match with the other two networks. I think Teen Angels would win most slots but not this one. ROD have The Nanny Dairies by the hot Karlie Kloss. This show was a good rater last time. The only comedy of the night gives this show an edge on the competition. SBC have Aria airing at 8pm. Aria is an out and out hit from ICE, part of the Janit O'Day shows. This show has a cult following and most of them I see tuning in.
.
Winner: I think SBC and Aria will squeak this in ahead of ROD. SBC is my prediction. ROD have a great chance being the only comedy.
8:30pm.
SBC have Aria, The Pretty Little Bitch. RTN have Sarah. ROD have Charles in Charge. ICE have Teen Angels.
SBC will still have Aria rolling along. RTN still have Sarah battling for position. ICE still have Teen Angels hammering away. ROD are the only network to change it up with Charles in Charge coming to 8:30pm. While I see the 8pm comedy working well, I see Charles in Charge struggling a bit. I know it is the only comedy at 8:30pm but Charles will need a massive boost if it is to keep all of the audience from the 8pm. I don't see Charles working to well at 8:30pm so ROD could lose a few numbers here to another network.
Winner: Aria with a clearer margin. SBC.
9pm.
SBC have Heather. RTN have The Hive. ROD have High School Dropouts. ICE have The Wrong Students.
Problem here with SBC is I see two schedules. I have decided to go with what looks like the stronger schedule so that is Heather. Heather is another Janit O'Day program here on SBC. Good strategy by SBC to run Heather and Aria back to back. Heathers should keep most of the numbers from Aria and should be strong. RTN have a non violent program for a change called The Hive. The Hive is about a young woman going to work for 911. It could work here at 9pm. ICE enter the violent section of there program with The Wrong Students. The Wrong Students is about a pair of student recently released from prison going on a murder rampage. This could be a mega hit by ICE in the making. High School Dropouts on ROD makes a reappearance for another season. The comedy sits alone for fans who like comedy or want a laugh. If it was a stronger comedy then ROD had a good chance at winning the slot.
Winner: Tough one between ICE and SBC. I think ROD just miss out. Back and forth. I think The Wrong Students will win the 9pm slot.
9:30pm.
SBC have Heather. RTN have The Hive. ROD have My Girls. ICE have The Wrong Students.
SBC will still have Heather. RTN still have The Hive. ICE will still have The Wrong Students. ROD have My Girls. My Girls are about two girls travelling to Hollywood hoping to become the next NITRO actresses. I like this plot so I think the comedy will do well.If there ia a draw back is I am not sure how strong the lead ins are for this. I am not sure how Charles at 8:30pm and Dropouts at 9pm will go. That could be very important to whether My Girls gets a good run or not.
Winner: ICE with The Wrong Students. I think My Girls will get some audience back at 9:30pm but not enough to get over ICE.
10pm.
SBC have My Favourite Killer Niece. RTN have Curves. ROD have I love Lucy Hale. ICE have The Adult Years.
SBC has My Favourite Killer Niece to begin at 10pm. A new show from SBC up against some untested shows. Being this is a solid horror block by SBC then it should do okay. RTN has a new drama called Curves about three women opening a women's only gym. I think this type of show could work but more so in day time then night time. This show looks more like a soap. It has a good partner at 11pm which I will talk about shortly. ROD have I love Lucy Hale. This is a risky show for Lucy Hale. Variety talk shows at night are not my favourtie type of genre. Lucy could get could ratings for this show or could flop. ICE have The Adult Years, a spin off from Saved By The Bell. It was very solid last year and should remain solid in a weaker time slot.
Winner: The Adult Years should win in what I see as a weaker time slot.
10:30pm.
SBC have My Favorite Killer Niece. RTN has Curves. ROD has I Love Lucy Hale. ICE has Bastard Kids.
SBC, ROD, and RTN have the same shows as at 10pm. ICE switch to Bastard Kids at 10:30pm. Bastard Kids was another solid show last year on NITRO. I see no reason why it cannot be very solid again.
Winner: Bastard Kids in a weaker time slot.
11pm.
SBC have Living Nightmare. RTN have Melrose Place. ROD have The L.A. ICE have DJ Becky's Friends.
SBC start with Living Nightmare. This is a new horror show on the block. It is in a decent time slot being paired with other horror shows here on SBC. It should do okay. This is at the end of the horror night for SBC. It depends on how well everything else does in front of it whether it is still strong or not. RTN have the reboot of Melrose Place, a show which I did like in its original state. I want to see the casting here for this show. Melrose Place with a good bitchy cast could win this time slot. Two soaps back to back for RTN could work. ROD has The L.A.. My only worry for The L.A. is how will Lucy Hale do at 10pm. The lead in is important for The L.A. which could win this time slot if Lucy Hale does a great job. ICE premiere DJ Becky's Friends. Unsure on this show what to expect from it ratings wise with some possible competition on the other networks. The thing I know about the DJ is it will have a solid lead in from 10 and 10:30pm.
Winner: I don't know. There are easier time slots to predict here on Wednesday. I think ICE and DJ have the advantage with solid lead in. The L.A. and Melrose Place might clash for the same audience being sort of the same. SBC could surprise here. I will got for ICE with DJ.
11:30pm.
SBC have Living Nightmare. RTN have Melrose Place. ROD have The L.A. ICE have Angry Landlords.
SBC, RTN and ROD are still the same. ICE have a very good performer in Angry Landlords. My only slight concern for Angry is if DJ doesn't work well in front of it and bleed viewers, this could hurt Angry Landlords at 11:30pm.
Winner: I think Angry Landlords should win this time slot if all is fair.
Overall Winner: I think ICE is too strong with the comedy line up. ICE to win Wednesday. SBC and ROD very tight for second. Problem is that both SBC and ROD are strong early and get weaker during the night. SBC for second, ROD third possibly. RTN fourth.
Thursday.
8pm.
SBC have The Terri Shields Variety Show. RTN have Survivors. ROD have Junior Beauty Pageant. ICE have Teen Athlete.
SBC starts with Terri Shields Variety. This show bombed in day time last year beaten by everything if memory serves me correctly. Terri thinks she can come to prime time? She can't compete against what the other networks are offering. This show could end Terri Shield's chance of getting any sort of ratings again. Lets hope SBC have the smartness to pull this show quickly. ICE have Teen Athlete. The newest talent competition in NITRO's Rookie Draft system comes to a show that focuses on teenagers aged 13-19 who compete against each other for a full season in athletic sporting events to win their way to a big shoe and apparel contract.
This show can work from ICE but in this time slot, will find it hard to gain ground. ROD have the Junior Beauty Pageant. We all know Beauty Pageants are very strong in NITRO. It has been proven already and for a log time. The JBP could be in some trouble though with ICE running there Teen Athlete which is targeting roughly the same audience. RTN have Survivors which according to all reports could be a major hit. Big move by RTN to put it against the Pageant. Could it work?
Winner: I tell you what. With ROD and ICE targeting the same sort of audience, RTN with Survivors could steal this. I will say Survivors will pull out the victory.
8:30pm.
SBC have Rachel. RTN have Survivors. ROD have Junior Beauty Pageant. ICE have Teen Athlete.
ROD, ICE and RTN have the same show on. SBC begin a comedy block with Rachel at 8:30pm. Rachel will need a solid fan base after the potential bomb at 8pm. Rachel will need to have fans turning off ICE, ROD and RTN to have a chance here. Good luck Rachel as you are going to need it.
Winner: Survivors. I tipped Survivors at 8pm so will stick with it here.
9pm.
SBC have My Gay Neighbors. RTN have Fugitive at 17. ROD have Junior Beauty Pageant. ICE have Self-Defense.
ICE start with a new show called Self-Defense at 9pm. This show is about a bunch of women who have suffered some sort of way in abusive relationships who travel to the West Coast to learn to defend themselves. This show is a complete unknown for me how it will go rating wise. It could be a hit or an okay show but not spectacular or a flop. RTN have the Fugitive at 17 show which we know is a solid performer. How solid can it be against ROD? ROD have the Junior Beauty Pageant who should get a boost at 9pm with Teen Athlete finishing. SBC has My Gay Neighbours. This show is a good show for SBC. Can it repair the possible damage done by Terri Shields?
Winner: My Junior Beauty Pageant will get stronger with ICE targeting a different audience. ROD will win the 9pm time slot.
9:30pm.
SBC have Ben & Trent. RTN have Fugitive at 17. ROD have Junior Beauty Pageant. ICE have Self-Defense.
RTN, ROD and ICE have the same programs. SBC are the only ones different with Ben and Trent. I see Ben and Trent struggling against this line up of shows on the other networks. The only network Ben and Trent could beat is ICE with there unknown Self-Defense. Ben and Trent will struggle otherwise.
Winner: ROD.
10pm.
SBC have Seattle Mysteries. RTN have Sex Trafficker. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant. ICE have Janit O'Day.
Seattle Mysteries begins for SBC at 10pm. I think I remember this doing okay last time on SBC, not great but okay. It should do okay again. ROD have the Miss Roderick Pageant which we know does well. ICE have Janit O'Day which is going to reach a solid number RTN have Sex Trafficker which is brand new. There isn't a show like this on any other network from my memory. Will it work against some pretty stiff competition.
Winner: ROD. The Miss Roderick Pageant should have too much for the others.
11pm.
SBC have nothing. RTN have The Supermarket. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant. ICE have Cherry Street Boarding School for Girls.
SBC have nothing scheduled. ROD continue with the Miss Roderick Pageant. RTN head into the comedy world with The Supermarket. This show is about a bunch of employees at a supermarket with only a few customers. Being the only comedy at this time, could work. ICE have the untested, unknown Cherry Street Boarding School for Girls. This show is about a boarding school for girls. All the trials and tribulations that the girls would face inside of a boarding school. This show could see some cat fights and some sort of behind closed doors relationships. I think the show could work if given enough time to succeed. I thought this show could've been a good day time program. Give ICE is full in the daytime I understand why it is at this late time.
Winner: ROD with the Miss Roderick Pageant.
11:30pm.
SBC have nothing. RTN have The Supermarket. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant Review. ICE have Cherry Street Boarding School for Girls.
SBC still have nothing scheduled. RTN and ICE are still travelling with their shows. ROD have the Pageant review shows. We know these review shows usually slip as they are highlights. Some people who have watched the entire pageant probably wouldn't want to sit through a review show so they are likely to go to ICE or RTN. Can the review show hold enough viewers to win?
Winner: It depends on whether the Pageant Review show can hold the audience or some of it. I will go with ICE as I am sure some people will want to check out the Boarding School for Girls show.
Overall Winner: ROD has to win with the Pageant. ICE or RTN second. I think RTN have good line up so they might just snag second. ICE then would just finish third. SBC a long fourth.
Friday.
8pm.
SBC have The Emily Osments Super Diss Show. RTN have Cam Girls. ROD have Koy Jung Variety Show. ICE have Jaime.
SBC have a Diss Show to begin. Diss Show's last year were rating poorly all over the place. I do not see them coming back into favour this year. These Diss Show's are a waste of space with not many people watching. ROD have Koy Jung in a variety show. I have said before that I am not a fan of Variety shows at night. They could rate depending on guests and the host. I just think there is enough of them during the day so they are not needed at night. Koy Jung might struggle here. ICE have Jamie. Jamie begins the Kelly Green Friday. I think there are stronger shows in the line up. This to start the Friday could struggle. RTN have the new show Cam Girls. This show reads very good. Another sexy show by RTN that I think can work.
Winner: I see Cam Girls winning this time slot. I think people will be interested to see exactly what this show is so it should win.
8:30pm.
SBC have The Kaitlyn Dever & Molly McCook Diss Ephraim Show. RTN have Cam Girls. ROD have Koy Jung Variety Show. ICE have Molly in South Philly.
SBC have another diss show. I think this is a very bad start for SBC. Diss Shows didn't work last season so why would they work this season? The diss shows could bring down there entire line up. RTN still have Cam Girls. ROD still have Koy Jung. ICE have Molly in South Philly. This show was a great performer last season. I know it will do great again. Can it recover from Jamie to catch Cam Girls?
Winner: I think Cam Girls holds on but with a lesser margin to ICE.
9pm.
SBC have Michaels & Leary. RTN have Brunswick Heads. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant Results. ICE have Young Girls.
SBC start 9pm with Michaels and Leary. I don't know how this show will go especially against some stronger competition. The big problem here is the predicted bombing of the 8pm and the 8:30pm time slots. RTN have the unknown Brunswick Heads. Should do okay considering a strong lead in but will bleed some for sure. ROD have the Miss Roderick Pageant Results. I see the results doing strong here as people will want to see who wins and who loses. ICE have the strong Young Girls here. Should be a strong performer with Molly as a lead in.
Winner: ROD with the Miss Roderick Pageant Results.
9:30pm.
SBC have Michaels & Leary. RTN have Brunswick Heads. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant Results. ICE have Youth Of Life.
SBC, ROD and RTN have the same show still continuing. ICE have the very powerful Youth Of Life. This show is a powerful show if memory serves me from last season. Can it over run the pageant results?
Winner: ROD with the pageant results. I think the margin will be very slim between ROD and ICE.
10pm.
SBC have CSI: Los Angeles. RTN have Security Guard. ROD have Steffy Forrester. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
SBC have CSI which is a consistent performer. It is not that solid but we know it is consistent. RTN try and take us down the comedy line with Security Guard. This reads a bit like the Kevin James movie Mall Cop. Being the only comedy, it might work here. ROD take us down the soap line with Steffy Forrester. It should hold some viewers after the pageant results and might be able to snag second. ICE have the incredibly strong New Girls in Town Pageant.
Winner: ICE. New Girls in Town Pageant should be too strong.
11pm.
SBC have The Selena & Justin Bieber Super LIVE Music Show. RTN have Chloe. ROD have Quinn Fuller. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
ICE continue with the Pageant. SBC have the super LIVE music show. I see this nothing but a flop. I would be shocked with the poor line up that this was the show that would get SBC back on track on Fridays. RTN have Chloe. I think Chloe could have been in a better time slot. I see this show not working to well. ROD have another soap with Quinn Fuller. I think Quinn Fuller could easily get good numbers else where. I would be shocked if Quinn doesn't get second in this line up.
Winner: Nothing gets near the New Girls in Town Pageant.
12am.
SBC have Jaws. RTN have the WFL. ROD have Australian Nights. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
SBC begin midnight with Jaws. I think Jaws is buried here. I like the show and while it will rate well on Monday, here it is buried and will get lost. RTN will have a WFL repeat to finish the night. It should rate well depending on what match it was. ROD have the consistent Australian Nights which should hold the numbers from Quinn Fuller. ICE still have the Pageant.
Winner: ICE with the Pageant.
1am.
SBC have Law & Order: Los Angeles. RTN have WFL. ROD have Country Made. ICE have Who Wanted Nichole Dead?
RTN continue with the WFL repeat. Could do well here depending on the game they pick to air. SBC have an okay performer in Law and Order. It won't blow the other networks away but could get decent numbers on a weak night for them. ROD have the ever consistent Country Made. ICE have the ever consistent Nichole.
Winner: I think Nichole for ICE can do it if viewers can't find the remote control to switch channels. I think Nichole has a too strong lead in.
Overall Winner: ICE has to be the top with the Pageant. I think ROD can hold second even if Koy Jung flops. RTN should be a close third. SBC way off the pace in fourth.
Saturday.
8pm.
SBC have The Xtina Grimmie Hour. RTN have WFL. ROD have WFL. ICE have Cherry Street Boarding School.
RTN and ROD have the WFL. I am guessing these will be live matches so it will purely depend on which matches they air. SBC have the Xtina Grimmie Hour that goes for 2 hours. This could confuse some people who are thinking it is an hour time slot. ICE have the unknown Cherry Street Boarding School for Girls. This show I think can rate well but against the WFL? This is an completely unknown time slot.
Winner: Really: You want me to pick a winner out of this lot? It comes down to the WFL matches as to who could win. I have no idea. If Cherry Street has a great debut and people follow the second episode to Saturday's then ICE. If Cherry Street flops then either ROD or RTN.
9pm.
SBC have The Xtina Grimmie Hour. RTN have WFL. ROD have WFL. ICE have Donny and Marie.
SBC still have the hour going as 2 hours. I do find that funny. RTN and ROD have the WFL going. ICE switch to the Donny and Marie show. Can this show succeed on a WFL dominated night? I am not sure. The lead in is questionable as well for Donny and Marie.
Winner: Donny and Marie I see beating Xtina. WFL is the unknown variable.
10pm.
SBC have Seattle Mysteries. RTN have WFL. ROD have WFL. ICE have Vegas Showgirls.
SBC start the day with Seattle Mysteries. While we know Seattle Mysteries is consistent, this is a hard time slot. The thing Seattle Mysteries does have on its side it is the only scripted drama on at this time. If the WFL matches are both one side and some people are sick of live NITRO reality competitions then Seattle Mysteries does have a chance. RTN and ROD have the WFL. ICE have another reality competition in Vegas Showgirls. My only concern with this show is there a lot of reality competitions through the week already including pageants, variety shows, the next NITRO athlete shows and so forth. Eventually one of these reality competitions are going to flop or not be as successful as the others. Vegas Showgirls will have to go against the WFL as well.
Winner: I will go with Vegas Showgirls to win. I know what I typed as in eventually a reality show will flop but not sure which show it might be. The WFL will divide viewers plus nearing the end of the match could be one sided with viewers leaving. SBC have a chance with the only scripted show of the time slot. Vegas Showgirls could win this so I will pick it.
11pm.
SBC have Michaels & Leary. RTN have WFL. ROD have Wheel of Fortune Saturdays. ICE have Vegas Showgirls.
Everyone has a chance here as we have 4 different types of shows. Michaels and Leary is a scripted show which could hold some viewers from the 10pm lead in. Some people wanted some scripted drama would have to come here. RTN have WFL. Live or replay? No idea right now. Live match could take the time slot. Replay match might be solid but not take the time slot. ROD have Wheel of Fortune Saturdays. I admit I was critical of this earlier on. Looking at the competition, it might hold its own. ICE have Vegas Showgirls still running.
Winner: This comes down to the WFL that RTN will air. If the WFL is live then I see the WFL winning. If the WFL is on delay then Vegas Showgirls for ICE.
Overall Winner: It comes down the WFL on RTN and ROD. It will also come down to ICE and how the 8pm and the 9pm slots rate. SBC could do better here then what people expect. I cannot pick with so much variable due to the WFL.
Sunday.
7pm.
Everyone has the WFL Runover.
Winner: Depends on the game.
7:30pm.
SBC have WFL. RTN have Last Woman On Earth. ROD have The OT. ICE have The Day.
SBC have the WFL in the schedule. I am not sure if a match is still over running or this is a preview/review show or what it is. RTN have a new comedy with Last Woman On Earth. Could do okay here, depending on who the woman is. ROD have The OT. We know The OT is a solid outing for ROD. ICE have The Day. I don't know and can't find any information about The Day. I don't know what genre The Day is.
Winner: Depends on what type of WFL is SBC having at 7:30. An over run match will do well. A preview show will be strong. I think The OT is probably strongest out of the 3 other networks. ROD here.
8pm.
SBC have WFL. RTN have Last Woman On Earth. ROD have The Eight is Enough. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
SBC still continue with either an over run of a later game or the preview show. Unsure exactly due to no details. RTN continues with Last Woman On Earth. ICE now airs the New Girls in Town Pageant. This Pageant on ICE was too strong last year. Likely to be strong again. ROD have Eight is Enough. Likely to get second place here.
Winner: I think ICE. I think the pageant wins here.
8:30pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have Chicago FM. ROD have Eight is Enough. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
ROD continue with Eight is Enough. RTN have a decent comedy here in Chicago FM. My worry here is the possibly weak lead in before hand. ICE continue with the pageant. SBC start Sunday Night Football with whatever game it is going to be. It will depend on what game it is whether SBC can get enough viewers to beat the Pageant here. SBC will need a strong game.
Winner: The Pageant should win this depending on the SBC game.
9pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have Chicago FM. Rod have Baywatch. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
Three networks here continue on there merry way. Rod go to the second series of Baywatch. Baywatch used to air on SBC before ROD bought it home. I think Baywatch could win some other time slots but is up against here against the Pageant and the Football.
Winner: The Pageant should win this depending on the SBC game. I know I said that earlier. It still remains true.
9:30pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have Fear the Night. Rod have Baywatch. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
SBC, ICE and ROD all continue along the same trajectory. RTN run us into a scripted horror called Fear the Night. I think on another night this show could work. Given the stiff competition here, this show likely won't work.
Winner: The Pageant should win this depending on the SBC game. I know I said that earlier. It still remains true.
10pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have Fear the Night. ROD have Pretty Thieves. ICE have ICE Sunday Night Movie.
SBC continue with Sunday Night Football. RTN still are fearing the night. ROD have a strong look now in Pretty Thieves. I think Pretty Thieves is a Janit O'Day program if memory serves correctly. This is a good time slot for this show in a weaker time slot. ICE will run a movie here. ICE's ratings will depend on what the movie is about and who stars.
Winner: SBC with Sunday Night Football has the advantage depending on the game. ROD with Pretty Thieves will be strong. I think SBC could just snag it.
10:30pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have a WFL Preview/Review. ROD have Pretty Thieves. ICE have ICE Sunday Night Movie.
ICE, ROD and SBC continue along there merry way. RTN now have a preview of the upcoming game. Previews are known to be up and down so who knows how this will rate.
Winner: Again as with most of the time slots on Sunday, it depends on how the WFL is going on SBC. Is it a close game or a one sided game? SBC could win this half hour.
11pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have the WFL. ROD have Daytime Soaps in Primetime. ICE have ICE Sunday Night Movie.
SBC continues with its coverage of the WFL Sunday night game which is coming to an end. RTN will air an late night match which could win the last hour depending on what the game is. ROD are previewing Daytime Soaps for Monday here in Primetime. ICE will still be travelling along with the movie.
Winner: It depends on the two WFL games for RTN and SBC. I think RTN with lack of competition and SBC's game coming towards and end should win.
Overall Winner: I think depending on the game SBC should win Sunday. ICE will be strong with The Pageant but weak else where. ROD have a pretty good line up until 11pm. RTN wake up at 11pm but are weak for a majority of the night. SBC first, ICE second, ROD third and RTN fourth. This is a hard night to predict though if the premiers by RTN are hits.
Monday
8pm.
SBC have Jaws. RTN have Moving Out. ROD have Dallas Cowgirls Undercover. ICE have Truck Ladies.
This is quite a hard time slot to judge as I rate all these four shows. Dallas Cowgirls Undercover and Truck Ladies seem quite similar in plot. This could split the audience between the two shows. The thing which will help ROD is that DCU is linked with the WFL since most of the girls appear in the WFL. This could give ROD the edge over ICE in this battle. We still got to think though that some of the audience will get split between the two which makes both shows vulnerable. RTN air a comedy Moving Out which is different from the ROD and ICE programs. Moving Out I rate highly and for those viewers who aren't interested in either DCU or Truck Ladies could go to Moving Out. SBC start the day with Jaws for audiences looking for something that isn't women. Jaws has a sneaky chance here at knocking off the split ICE and ROD audiences.
Winner: Hard to predict but I think Moving Out could take the crown. The audience split between ICE and ROD could hurt them both and Jaws isn't strong enough for Moving Out.
8:30pm.
SBC have Jaws. RTN have Foreign Exchange. ROD have Dallas Cowgirls Undercover. ICE have Truck Ladies.
The audience split continues at 8:30pm with DCU and Truck Ladies. Jaws continues at 8:30pm and could grow slightly as well. The audiences could grow slightly with Moving Out only a half hour show. This all depends on how much Foreign Exchange bleeds if it bleeds at all. If Foreign Exchange bleeds a lot then it will be interesting to see where the audience goes. Jaws? DCU? TL? If it doesn't bleed at all and holds the audience for another half hour, it could be a good start for RTN.
Winner: I will say Foreign Exchange. It is just really hard to know if most of the audience will stay or go at 8:30pm.
9pm.
SBC have Law & Order: Los Angeles. RTN have Black Flag. ROD have WFL. ICE have The Carpenters Hour.
SBC have Law and Order which I don't rate to well. I see SBC not in the race for the win. RTN have Black Flag. While I do rate Black Flag, it is a bad time slot. It should beat Law and Order. Rod have the WFL, ICE have The Carpenters Hour. the 9pm time slot will come down to one thing for me. What is the Monday night WFL match? Is it a top of the table clash each week which will massively boost its ratings. Is it a bottom of the table clash which no one cares about. Something in the middle which only fans of those teams might watch. We know The Carpenters Hour will rate at 9pm. We know it will get numbers and big numbers. ROD have to hope MNF every week is a top of the table clash.
Winner: I have to go with The Carpenters Hour. I think it will be consistent. The WFL just has to many what ifs.
10pm.
SBC have CSI: Los Angeles. RTN have CVU. ROD have WFL. ICE have The Carpenters Hour.
SBC and RTN clash here with two detective shows which will divide any audience left over. Way behind the other two at 10pm. ROD have the WFL and ICE still have The Carpenters Hour. Not much more to say here about ROD and ICE as I covered it at 9pm. I think SBC and RTN will fall off the pace at 10pm.
Winner: The Carpenters Hour. It again depends on the WFL match. Is the WFL match close or has one team blown away the other team?
11pm.
SBC have nothing. RTN have Twisted Tales. ROD have WFL. ICE have Overnight Nurses.
SBC have nothing. Not a show called nothing, just nothing scheduled. RTN have Twisted Tales which looks to be based on The Twilight Zone. Twisted Tales could be a good rater if not behind the 10pm program. Twisted Tales will need some help to win. ROD have the WFL still going on in this time slot. With ICE now finished with The Carpenters Hour, the WFL should be able to pick up some numbers. I think it does depend on how the match is going though. If it is close then ROD will see a boost at 11pm. If it is one sided then most people might not go to ROD. Overnight Nurses on ICE will be a steady performer with a good lead in. I think if the WFL at 11pm is weak the Overnight Nurses could win the time slot.
Winner: Hard to say again with the WFL. I think the WFL needs to win the 11pm time slot. I will give the WFL the win here.
Overall Monday Results: ICE sneak home first. ROD very close second. RTN drops to third with a weaker finish. SBC fourth with nothing to show at 11pm.
Tuesday.
8pm.
SBC have Full House. RTN have 20. ROD have The Stella Sisters. ICE have Team ICE.
We start with two comedy shows, The Stella Sisters against Full House. I think the Stella Sisters has the edge over Full House in this comedy war. Reboots can be quite popular with people if done right but can also sag if people say the original is better. With this in mind I give the edge to the Stella Sisters at 8pm. 20 on RTN is quite an interesting choice here. I see 20 as a more violent show with the write up now available. We know that violence can work here in NITRO which gives this show a good chance at succeeding. Team ICE have the 8pm time slot here to win or lose. The audience will turn on Team ICE to see what game they are playing and who they are playing and how. This will decide the time slot. If the audience like what they see, they will stay. If they don't like the sport or the school or the team or the match could be too one sided then other networks will benefit.
Winner: ICE with Team ICE has the advantage. I think ICE will win the 8pm.
8:30pm.
SBC have Step By Step. RTN have 20. ROD have Baby Don't Rush. ICE have Team ICE.
By now for ICE the match would have started. The audience would have seen some of the match and some could probably tell if the match is close or one sided. If the match is close then Team ICE will do well in this time slot. If the match is one sided then it will hurt Team ICE as people will go to other channels. RTN still have 20 going so nothing new there. SBC have another rebooted show, this time Step by Step. While I think Full House could work at 8pm, I don't like Step by Step at 8:30pm. I think it is the weaker of the two. ROD have a new show called Baby Don't Rush. Baby Don't Rush is about a country couple who don't rush into a relationship together. Will it hold the audience The Stella Sisters or will it bleed and hurt the rest of the line up?
Winner: Team ICE here still.
9pm.
SBC have Rachel. RTN have Mental. ROD have Two More Bottles of Wine. ICE have Team ICE.
ICE continue with Team ICE. With the match half over, is the match still close? We will have to wait and see. SBC have Rachel which I have heard is one of there big shows of the night. I do not know a lot about this show other then SBC are pushing this show as much as they can. RTN have a new premiere Mental about a nurse in a violent mental hospital. Another violent outing here for RTN which could give good numbers. ROD continue with all country with Two More Bottles Of Wine. The owners of a karaoke bar. This show will rely on Baby Don't Rush at 8:30 holding fort after the 8pm lead in. Let's hope the number can hold for ROD.
Winner: Team ICE still.
9:30pm.
SBC have Sam & Brian: Friends. RTN have Mental. ROD have Somethin' Bad. ICE have Team ICE.
Team ICE still going on the ICE network. Will people hang around for two hours or will some leave and check out something else? We have RTN still on track with Mental. What kind of numbers can this violet show get against Team ICE and the two comedy blocks. ROD's next show is Somethin' Bad. This is an important show for ROD more then the normal as it leads into the 10pm time slot. Can Somethin' Bad give the 10pm a boost or will ROD bleed bad from The Stella Sisters. SBC continue there comedy line up with Sam and Brian: Friends. I think Sam and Brian is a decent show and should be able to drag good numbers. My question is what show or shows will have to dip at 9:30pm for Sam and Brian to have a good chance.
Winner: Team ICE. Will audiences watch all the way through?
10pm.
SBC have Queens of Motown. RTN have Serial Mum. ROD have Hayden's Country Hour. ICE have Kelly's Thugs.
This is a very hard hour to pick a winner. Every show here has a good chance of winning the hour. One network will feel hard done by when the numbers come out as all these shows in a weaker time slot could win the time slot easily. We start with RTN and Serial Mum. I do rate this new show about a mother who will do anything to get her daughter ahead including murder. The problem with Serial Mum is that it is going up against established shows. This could hurt Serial Mum or it could help if people want to check out something different. Hayden's Country Hour on ROD, not sure if live or on delay, has a big chance to win the time slot. Hayden is a strong performer on NITRO already proven. Hayden with some help of special guests can push this over the line. Kelly's Thugs for ICE has always been solid. It hasn't been a record break but it is a proven solid show. Queens of Motown on SBC has a solid backing from last season with good numbers. Queen of Motown should get a good lead in being in the middle of the comedy block and the comedy block on ROD ending at 10pm. Queens of Motown can sneak a win here if advertised enough.
Winner: Oh man. I really don't know. Every network has a chance to win this time slot. Every network could finish last as well. Really hard. I will go with ROD and Hayden as we know she rated high last season. Out of the 4 of them, I probably can't see Hayden finishing last.
10:30pm.
SBC have Gimme A Break! RTN have Serial Mum. ROD have Hayden's Country Hour. ICE have Kelly's Thugs.
SBC are the only network to change here at the 10:30pm slot. Gimme A Break has a great lead in from the 10pm time slot. I would be a little surprised if it was able to push for the victory with the other three shows. I see this show bleeding from Queens of Motown. When the audience that will probably leave SBC at 10:30, where will they go. RTN? ROD? ICE? What show is closest to the comedy blocks. I see some going to ROD probably to see what Hayden is up too. Hayden could benefit from this and if she is behind Kelly or Serial Mum at the 10pm time slot could win the 10:30pm session quite easily.
Winner: ROD with Hayden if I am correct with most of the audience going to ROD.
11pm.
SBC have nothing. RTN have Lesbian Rampage. ROD have Mine Would Be You. ICE have Chicago's Most Dangerous Bitch.
SBC have nothing again scheduled. They should sort this out and quickly. Rod have Mine Would Be You to finish off the country night. I see this show being squeezed in the ratings. ICE have CMDB which is a solid performer from last season. We know they will get some good numbers coming off Kelly's Thugs. RTN though have Lesbian Rampage. This show is about two lesbians going on a world wide rampage trying to kill as many men as possible forcing all women to become lesbians. This show has the ability to crush the 11pm ratings. Going up against CMDB is an interesting choice and could work against them but I think it will at least get second place if not first. Lesbians and violence, what a combo.
Winner: RTN and Lesbian Rampage. You really thought I was going somewhere else? CMDB will get solid numbers and could squeak in if Lesbian Rampage flops.
Overall Winner: If Team ICE can hold the numbers for two hours then ICE should win with a solid finish. RTN I will pick for second with the violent night they look to have. ROD to finish third just and SBC fourth. I think the two comedy blocks will hurt each other. Hard to pick though as SBC could finish second. One of those nights where the remaining three are all very close to each other on paper behind ICE.
Wednesday.
8pm.
SBC have Aria, The Pretty Little Bitch. RTN have Sarah. ROD have The Nanny Diaries. ICE have Teen Angels.
We start with a tough time slot to judge. 3 out of the 4 networks could win the slot. I think Sarah for RTN is in a bit of trouble. Sarah is another unique violent storyline coming out of the studios of RTN. I think it could work in a weaker slot but this slot is pretty tough. ICE have the ever reliable Teen Angels. I really like this show but maybe has met its match with the other two networks. I think Teen Angels would win most slots but not this one. ROD have The Nanny Dairies by the hot Karlie Kloss. This show was a good rater last time. The only comedy of the night gives this show an edge on the competition. SBC have Aria airing at 8pm. Aria is an out and out hit from ICE, part of the Janit O'Day shows. This show has a cult following and most of them I see tuning in.
.
Winner: I think SBC and Aria will squeak this in ahead of ROD. SBC is my prediction. ROD have a great chance being the only comedy.
8:30pm.
SBC have Aria, The Pretty Little Bitch. RTN have Sarah. ROD have Charles in Charge. ICE have Teen Angels.
SBC will still have Aria rolling along. RTN still have Sarah battling for position. ICE still have Teen Angels hammering away. ROD are the only network to change it up with Charles in Charge coming to 8:30pm. While I see the 8pm comedy working well, I see Charles in Charge struggling a bit. I know it is the only comedy at 8:30pm but Charles will need a massive boost if it is to keep all of the audience from the 8pm. I don't see Charles working to well at 8:30pm so ROD could lose a few numbers here to another network.
Winner: Aria with a clearer margin. SBC.
9pm.
SBC have Heather. RTN have The Hive. ROD have High School Dropouts. ICE have The Wrong Students.
Problem here with SBC is I see two schedules. I have decided to go with what looks like the stronger schedule so that is Heather. Heather is another Janit O'Day program here on SBC. Good strategy by SBC to run Heather and Aria back to back. Heathers should keep most of the numbers from Aria and should be strong. RTN have a non violent program for a change called The Hive. The Hive is about a young woman going to work for 911. It could work here at 9pm. ICE enter the violent section of there program with The Wrong Students. The Wrong Students is about a pair of student recently released from prison going on a murder rampage. This could be a mega hit by ICE in the making. High School Dropouts on ROD makes a reappearance for another season. The comedy sits alone for fans who like comedy or want a laugh. If it was a stronger comedy then ROD had a good chance at winning the slot.
Winner: Tough one between ICE and SBC. I think ROD just miss out. Back and forth. I think The Wrong Students will win the 9pm slot.
9:30pm.
SBC have Heather. RTN have The Hive. ROD have My Girls. ICE have The Wrong Students.
SBC will still have Heather. RTN still have The Hive. ICE will still have The Wrong Students. ROD have My Girls. My Girls are about two girls travelling to Hollywood hoping to become the next NITRO actresses. I like this plot so I think the comedy will do well.If there ia a draw back is I am not sure how strong the lead ins are for this. I am not sure how Charles at 8:30pm and Dropouts at 9pm will go. That could be very important to whether My Girls gets a good run or not.
Winner: ICE with The Wrong Students. I think My Girls will get some audience back at 9:30pm but not enough to get over ICE.
10pm.
SBC have My Favourite Killer Niece. RTN have Curves. ROD have I love Lucy Hale. ICE have The Adult Years.
SBC has My Favourite Killer Niece to begin at 10pm. A new show from SBC up against some untested shows. Being this is a solid horror block by SBC then it should do okay. RTN has a new drama called Curves about three women opening a women's only gym. I think this type of show could work but more so in day time then night time. This show looks more like a soap. It has a good partner at 11pm which I will talk about shortly. ROD have I love Lucy Hale. This is a risky show for Lucy Hale. Variety talk shows at night are not my favourtie type of genre. Lucy could get could ratings for this show or could flop. ICE have The Adult Years, a spin off from Saved By The Bell. It was very solid last year and should remain solid in a weaker time slot.
Winner: The Adult Years should win in what I see as a weaker time slot.
10:30pm.
SBC have My Favorite Killer Niece. RTN has Curves. ROD has I Love Lucy Hale. ICE has Bastard Kids.
SBC, ROD, and RTN have the same shows as at 10pm. ICE switch to Bastard Kids at 10:30pm. Bastard Kids was another solid show last year on NITRO. I see no reason why it cannot be very solid again.
Winner: Bastard Kids in a weaker time slot.
11pm.
SBC have Living Nightmare. RTN have Melrose Place. ROD have The L.A. ICE have DJ Becky's Friends.
SBC start with Living Nightmare. This is a new horror show on the block. It is in a decent time slot being paired with other horror shows here on SBC. It should do okay. This is at the end of the horror night for SBC. It depends on how well everything else does in front of it whether it is still strong or not. RTN have the reboot of Melrose Place, a show which I did like in its original state. I want to see the casting here for this show. Melrose Place with a good bitchy cast could win this time slot. Two soaps back to back for RTN could work. ROD has The L.A.. My only worry for The L.A. is how will Lucy Hale do at 10pm. The lead in is important for The L.A. which could win this time slot if Lucy Hale does a great job. ICE premiere DJ Becky's Friends. Unsure on this show what to expect from it ratings wise with some possible competition on the other networks. The thing I know about the DJ is it will have a solid lead in from 10 and 10:30pm.
Winner: I don't know. There are easier time slots to predict here on Wednesday. I think ICE and DJ have the advantage with solid lead in. The L.A. and Melrose Place might clash for the same audience being sort of the same. SBC could surprise here. I will got for ICE with DJ.
11:30pm.
SBC have Living Nightmare. RTN have Melrose Place. ROD have The L.A. ICE have Angry Landlords.
SBC, RTN and ROD are still the same. ICE have a very good performer in Angry Landlords. My only slight concern for Angry is if DJ doesn't work well in front of it and bleed viewers, this could hurt Angry Landlords at 11:30pm.
Winner: I think Angry Landlords should win this time slot if all is fair.
Overall Winner: I think ICE is too strong with the comedy line up. ICE to win Wednesday. SBC and ROD very tight for second. Problem is that both SBC and ROD are strong early and get weaker during the night. SBC for second, ROD third possibly. RTN fourth.
Thursday.
8pm.
SBC have The Terri Shields Variety Show. RTN have Survivors. ROD have Junior Beauty Pageant. ICE have Teen Athlete.
SBC starts with Terri Shields Variety. This show bombed in day time last year beaten by everything if memory serves me correctly. Terri thinks she can come to prime time? She can't compete against what the other networks are offering. This show could end Terri Shield's chance of getting any sort of ratings again. Lets hope SBC have the smartness to pull this show quickly. ICE have Teen Athlete. The newest talent competition in NITRO's Rookie Draft system comes to a show that focuses on teenagers aged 13-19 who compete against each other for a full season in athletic sporting events to win their way to a big shoe and apparel contract.
This show can work from ICE but in this time slot, will find it hard to gain ground. ROD have the Junior Beauty Pageant. We all know Beauty Pageants are very strong in NITRO. It has been proven already and for a log time. The JBP could be in some trouble though with ICE running there Teen Athlete which is targeting roughly the same audience. RTN have Survivors which according to all reports could be a major hit. Big move by RTN to put it against the Pageant. Could it work?
Winner: I tell you what. With ROD and ICE targeting the same sort of audience, RTN with Survivors could steal this. I will say Survivors will pull out the victory.
8:30pm.
SBC have Rachel. RTN have Survivors. ROD have Junior Beauty Pageant. ICE have Teen Athlete.
ROD, ICE and RTN have the same show on. SBC begin a comedy block with Rachel at 8:30pm. Rachel will need a solid fan base after the potential bomb at 8pm. Rachel will need to have fans turning off ICE, ROD and RTN to have a chance here. Good luck Rachel as you are going to need it.
Winner: Survivors. I tipped Survivors at 8pm so will stick with it here.
9pm.
SBC have My Gay Neighbors. RTN have Fugitive at 17. ROD have Junior Beauty Pageant. ICE have Self-Defense.
ICE start with a new show called Self-Defense at 9pm. This show is about a bunch of women who have suffered some sort of way in abusive relationships who travel to the West Coast to learn to defend themselves. This show is a complete unknown for me how it will go rating wise. It could be a hit or an okay show but not spectacular or a flop. RTN have the Fugitive at 17 show which we know is a solid performer. How solid can it be against ROD? ROD have the Junior Beauty Pageant who should get a boost at 9pm with Teen Athlete finishing. SBC has My Gay Neighbours. This show is a good show for SBC. Can it repair the possible damage done by Terri Shields?
Winner: My Junior Beauty Pageant will get stronger with ICE targeting a different audience. ROD will win the 9pm time slot.
9:30pm.
SBC have Ben & Trent. RTN have Fugitive at 17. ROD have Junior Beauty Pageant. ICE have Self-Defense.
RTN, ROD and ICE have the same programs. SBC are the only ones different with Ben and Trent. I see Ben and Trent struggling against this line up of shows on the other networks. The only network Ben and Trent could beat is ICE with there unknown Self-Defense. Ben and Trent will struggle otherwise.
Winner: ROD.
10pm.
SBC have Seattle Mysteries. RTN have Sex Trafficker. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant. ICE have Janit O'Day.
Seattle Mysteries begins for SBC at 10pm. I think I remember this doing okay last time on SBC, not great but okay. It should do okay again. ROD have the Miss Roderick Pageant which we know does well. ICE have Janit O'Day which is going to reach a solid number RTN have Sex Trafficker which is brand new. There isn't a show like this on any other network from my memory. Will it work against some pretty stiff competition.
Winner: ROD. The Miss Roderick Pageant should have too much for the others.
11pm.
SBC have nothing. RTN have The Supermarket. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant. ICE have Cherry Street Boarding School for Girls.
SBC have nothing scheduled. ROD continue with the Miss Roderick Pageant. RTN head into the comedy world with The Supermarket. This show is about a bunch of employees at a supermarket with only a few customers. Being the only comedy at this time, could work. ICE have the untested, unknown Cherry Street Boarding School for Girls. This show is about a boarding school for girls. All the trials and tribulations that the girls would face inside of a boarding school. This show could see some cat fights and some sort of behind closed doors relationships. I think the show could work if given enough time to succeed. I thought this show could've been a good day time program. Give ICE is full in the daytime I understand why it is at this late time.
Winner: ROD with the Miss Roderick Pageant.
11:30pm.
SBC have nothing. RTN have The Supermarket. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant Review. ICE have Cherry Street Boarding School for Girls.
SBC still have nothing scheduled. RTN and ICE are still travelling with their shows. ROD have the Pageant review shows. We know these review shows usually slip as they are highlights. Some people who have watched the entire pageant probably wouldn't want to sit through a review show so they are likely to go to ICE or RTN. Can the review show hold enough viewers to win?
Winner: It depends on whether the Pageant Review show can hold the audience or some of it. I will go with ICE as I am sure some people will want to check out the Boarding School for Girls show.
Overall Winner: ROD has to win with the Pageant. ICE or RTN second. I think RTN have good line up so they might just snag second. ICE then would just finish third. SBC a long fourth.
Friday.
8pm.
SBC have The Emily Osments Super Diss Show. RTN have Cam Girls. ROD have Koy Jung Variety Show. ICE have Jaime.
SBC have a Diss Show to begin. Diss Show's last year were rating poorly all over the place. I do not see them coming back into favour this year. These Diss Show's are a waste of space with not many people watching. ROD have Koy Jung in a variety show. I have said before that I am not a fan of Variety shows at night. They could rate depending on guests and the host. I just think there is enough of them during the day so they are not needed at night. Koy Jung might struggle here. ICE have Jamie. Jamie begins the Kelly Green Friday. I think there are stronger shows in the line up. This to start the Friday could struggle. RTN have the new show Cam Girls. This show reads very good. Another sexy show by RTN that I think can work.
Winner: I see Cam Girls winning this time slot. I think people will be interested to see exactly what this show is so it should win.
8:30pm.
SBC have The Kaitlyn Dever & Molly McCook Diss Ephraim Show. RTN have Cam Girls. ROD have Koy Jung Variety Show. ICE have Molly in South Philly.
SBC have another diss show. I think this is a very bad start for SBC. Diss Shows didn't work last season so why would they work this season? The diss shows could bring down there entire line up. RTN still have Cam Girls. ROD still have Koy Jung. ICE have Molly in South Philly. This show was a great performer last season. I know it will do great again. Can it recover from Jamie to catch Cam Girls?
Winner: I think Cam Girls holds on but with a lesser margin to ICE.
9pm.
SBC have Michaels & Leary. RTN have Brunswick Heads. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant Results. ICE have Young Girls.
SBC start 9pm with Michaels and Leary. I don't know how this show will go especially against some stronger competition. The big problem here is the predicted bombing of the 8pm and the 8:30pm time slots. RTN have the unknown Brunswick Heads. Should do okay considering a strong lead in but will bleed some for sure. ROD have the Miss Roderick Pageant Results. I see the results doing strong here as people will want to see who wins and who loses. ICE have the strong Young Girls here. Should be a strong performer with Molly as a lead in.
Winner: ROD with the Miss Roderick Pageant Results.
9:30pm.
SBC have Michaels & Leary. RTN have Brunswick Heads. ROD have Miss Roderick Pageant Results. ICE have Youth Of Life.
SBC, ROD and RTN have the same show still continuing. ICE have the very powerful Youth Of Life. This show is a powerful show if memory serves me from last season. Can it over run the pageant results?
Winner: ROD with the pageant results. I think the margin will be very slim between ROD and ICE.
10pm.
SBC have CSI: Los Angeles. RTN have Security Guard. ROD have Steffy Forrester. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
SBC have CSI which is a consistent performer. It is not that solid but we know it is consistent. RTN try and take us down the comedy line with Security Guard. This reads a bit like the Kevin James movie Mall Cop. Being the only comedy, it might work here. ROD take us down the soap line with Steffy Forrester. It should hold some viewers after the pageant results and might be able to snag second. ICE have the incredibly strong New Girls in Town Pageant.
Winner: ICE. New Girls in Town Pageant should be too strong.
11pm.
SBC have The Selena & Justin Bieber Super LIVE Music Show. RTN have Chloe. ROD have Quinn Fuller. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
ICE continue with the Pageant. SBC have the super LIVE music show. I see this nothing but a flop. I would be shocked with the poor line up that this was the show that would get SBC back on track on Fridays. RTN have Chloe. I think Chloe could have been in a better time slot. I see this show not working to well. ROD have another soap with Quinn Fuller. I think Quinn Fuller could easily get good numbers else where. I would be shocked if Quinn doesn't get second in this line up.
Winner: Nothing gets near the New Girls in Town Pageant.
12am.
SBC have Jaws. RTN have the WFL. ROD have Australian Nights. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
SBC begin midnight with Jaws. I think Jaws is buried here. I like the show and while it will rate well on Monday, here it is buried and will get lost. RTN will have a WFL repeat to finish the night. It should rate well depending on what match it was. ROD have the consistent Australian Nights which should hold the numbers from Quinn Fuller. ICE still have the Pageant.
Winner: ICE with the Pageant.
1am.
SBC have Law & Order: Los Angeles. RTN have WFL. ROD have Country Made. ICE have Who Wanted Nichole Dead?
RTN continue with the WFL repeat. Could do well here depending on the game they pick to air. SBC have an okay performer in Law and Order. It won't blow the other networks away but could get decent numbers on a weak night for them. ROD have the ever consistent Country Made. ICE have the ever consistent Nichole.
Winner: I think Nichole for ICE can do it if viewers can't find the remote control to switch channels. I think Nichole has a too strong lead in.
Overall Winner: ICE has to be the top with the Pageant. I think ROD can hold second even if Koy Jung flops. RTN should be a close third. SBC way off the pace in fourth.
Saturday.
8pm.
SBC have The Xtina Grimmie Hour. RTN have WFL. ROD have WFL. ICE have Cherry Street Boarding School.
RTN and ROD have the WFL. I am guessing these will be live matches so it will purely depend on which matches they air. SBC have the Xtina Grimmie Hour that goes for 2 hours. This could confuse some people who are thinking it is an hour time slot. ICE have the unknown Cherry Street Boarding School for Girls. This show I think can rate well but against the WFL? This is an completely unknown time slot.
Winner: Really: You want me to pick a winner out of this lot? It comes down to the WFL matches as to who could win. I have no idea. If Cherry Street has a great debut and people follow the second episode to Saturday's then ICE. If Cherry Street flops then either ROD or RTN.
9pm.
SBC have The Xtina Grimmie Hour. RTN have WFL. ROD have WFL. ICE have Donny and Marie.
SBC still have the hour going as 2 hours. I do find that funny. RTN and ROD have the WFL going. ICE switch to the Donny and Marie show. Can this show succeed on a WFL dominated night? I am not sure. The lead in is questionable as well for Donny and Marie.
Winner: Donny and Marie I see beating Xtina. WFL is the unknown variable.
10pm.
SBC have Seattle Mysteries. RTN have WFL. ROD have WFL. ICE have Vegas Showgirls.
SBC start the day with Seattle Mysteries. While we know Seattle Mysteries is consistent, this is a hard time slot. The thing Seattle Mysteries does have on its side it is the only scripted drama on at this time. If the WFL matches are both one side and some people are sick of live NITRO reality competitions then Seattle Mysteries does have a chance. RTN and ROD have the WFL. ICE have another reality competition in Vegas Showgirls. My only concern with this show is there a lot of reality competitions through the week already including pageants, variety shows, the next NITRO athlete shows and so forth. Eventually one of these reality competitions are going to flop or not be as successful as the others. Vegas Showgirls will have to go against the WFL as well.
Winner: I will go with Vegas Showgirls to win. I know what I typed as in eventually a reality show will flop but not sure which show it might be. The WFL will divide viewers plus nearing the end of the match could be one sided with viewers leaving. SBC have a chance with the only scripted show of the time slot. Vegas Showgirls could win this so I will pick it.
11pm.
SBC have Michaels & Leary. RTN have WFL. ROD have Wheel of Fortune Saturdays. ICE have Vegas Showgirls.
Everyone has a chance here as we have 4 different types of shows. Michaels and Leary is a scripted show which could hold some viewers from the 10pm lead in. Some people wanted some scripted drama would have to come here. RTN have WFL. Live or replay? No idea right now. Live match could take the time slot. Replay match might be solid but not take the time slot. ROD have Wheel of Fortune Saturdays. I admit I was critical of this earlier on. Looking at the competition, it might hold its own. ICE have Vegas Showgirls still running.
Winner: This comes down to the WFL that RTN will air. If the WFL is live then I see the WFL winning. If the WFL is on delay then Vegas Showgirls for ICE.
Overall Winner: It comes down the WFL on RTN and ROD. It will also come down to ICE and how the 8pm and the 9pm slots rate. SBC could do better here then what people expect. I cannot pick with so much variable due to the WFL.
Sunday.
7pm.
Everyone has the WFL Runover.
Winner: Depends on the game.
7:30pm.
SBC have WFL. RTN have Last Woman On Earth. ROD have The OT. ICE have The Day.
SBC have the WFL in the schedule. I am not sure if a match is still over running or this is a preview/review show or what it is. RTN have a new comedy with Last Woman On Earth. Could do okay here, depending on who the woman is. ROD have The OT. We know The OT is a solid outing for ROD. ICE have The Day. I don't know and can't find any information about The Day. I don't know what genre The Day is.
Winner: Depends on what type of WFL is SBC having at 7:30. An over run match will do well. A preview show will be strong. I think The OT is probably strongest out of the 3 other networks. ROD here.
8pm.
SBC have WFL. RTN have Last Woman On Earth. ROD have The Eight is Enough. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
SBC still continue with either an over run of a later game or the preview show. Unsure exactly due to no details. RTN continues with Last Woman On Earth. ICE now airs the New Girls in Town Pageant. This Pageant on ICE was too strong last year. Likely to be strong again. ROD have Eight is Enough. Likely to get second place here.
Winner: I think ICE. I think the pageant wins here.
8:30pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have Chicago FM. ROD have Eight is Enough. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
ROD continue with Eight is Enough. RTN have a decent comedy here in Chicago FM. My worry here is the possibly weak lead in before hand. ICE continue with the pageant. SBC start Sunday Night Football with whatever game it is going to be. It will depend on what game it is whether SBC can get enough viewers to beat the Pageant here. SBC will need a strong game.
Winner: The Pageant should win this depending on the SBC game.
9pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have Chicago FM. Rod have Baywatch. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
Three networks here continue on there merry way. Rod go to the second series of Baywatch. Baywatch used to air on SBC before ROD bought it home. I think Baywatch could win some other time slots but is up against here against the Pageant and the Football.
Winner: The Pageant should win this depending on the SBC game. I know I said that earlier. It still remains true.
9:30pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have Fear the Night. Rod have Baywatch. ICE have New Girls in Town Pageant.
SBC, ICE and ROD all continue along the same trajectory. RTN run us into a scripted horror called Fear the Night. I think on another night this show could work. Given the stiff competition here, this show likely won't work.
Winner: The Pageant should win this depending on the SBC game. I know I said that earlier. It still remains true.
10pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have Fear the Night. ROD have Pretty Thieves. ICE have ICE Sunday Night Movie.
SBC continue with Sunday Night Football. RTN still are fearing the night. ROD have a strong look now in Pretty Thieves. I think Pretty Thieves is a Janit O'Day program if memory serves correctly. This is a good time slot for this show in a weaker time slot. ICE will run a movie here. ICE's ratings will depend on what the movie is about and who stars.
Winner: SBC with Sunday Night Football has the advantage depending on the game. ROD with Pretty Thieves will be strong. I think SBC could just snag it.
10:30pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have a WFL Preview/Review. ROD have Pretty Thieves. ICE have ICE Sunday Night Movie.
ICE, ROD and SBC continue along there merry way. RTN now have a preview of the upcoming game. Previews are known to be up and down so who knows how this will rate.
Winner: Again as with most of the time slots on Sunday, it depends on how the WFL is going on SBC. Is it a close game or a one sided game? SBC could win this half hour.
11pm.
SBC have Sunday Night Football. RTN have the WFL. ROD have Daytime Soaps in Primetime. ICE have ICE Sunday Night Movie.
SBC continues with its coverage of the WFL Sunday night game which is coming to an end. RTN will air an late night match which could win the last hour depending on what the game is. ROD are previewing Daytime Soaps for Monday here in Primetime. ICE will still be travelling along with the movie.
Winner: It depends on the two WFL games for RTN and SBC. I think RTN with lack of competition and SBC's game coming towards and end should win.
Overall Winner: I think depending on the game SBC should win Sunday. ICE will be strong with The Pageant but weak else where. ROD have a pretty good line up until 11pm. RTN wake up at 11pm but are weak for a majority of the night. SBC first, ICE second, ROD third and RTN fourth. This is a hard night to predict though if the premiers by RTN are hits.
