TRACY KIMMELL & SANTANA SHIELDS HELPS LIFT HUNTER & KACEY TO SERIES-HIGH RATINGS

ROD just missed out on coming in first place but a late change to their guest schedule on Tuesday due to Allison Shields getting traded to SBC and Gabrielle Shields back to ICE forced a delay in Tracy Kimmell, Santana, Nikki, and Barbara Shields guest star appearance on Hunter & Kacey. Originally Tracy and Allison was supposed to appear on Hunter & Kacey to help promote Tracy's new talk show that was going to premiere on Wednesday afternoon but they decided to scrap that appearance and wait until Thursday and it led Hunter & Kacey to their highest ratings to-date getting 41.25 million viewers which is the highest ratings for a pre-8am program in NITRO Television history beating out the 40 million viewers that Terri Shields got for her old morning show on Tuesday November 12, 2013 which was the infamous episode where Gabrielle Shields stabbed her own sister Terri live on television it was the second stabbing we've seen on NITRO Television since JWoww stabbed Lindsay Lohan back in 2010.

Hunter & Kacey has been mad successful since debuting and ROD has a rock solid country variety talk show that they can rely on every morning and it got ROD off to a faster start as Hunter & Kacey had the highest ratings of the entire day as nothing on ICE reached over 40 million viewers so Tahj & Arielle AM was beaten by about 10 million viewers and Pyper America was beaten also by 3 million viewers.

Hunter & Kacey helped Caitlin Stasey's new music talk show reach a high in the ratings as the retention out of H&K was really good beating Tahj & Arielle for the first time this season as this is the first time Tahj & Arielle lost to anybody this season.

From there ROD had an awesome day but the highlight of their afternoon came from Tracy Kimmell Live who maintained her ratings over 30 million viewers for the second day in a row as Tracy Kimmell managed to beat Another World and lead the hour. ROD's biggest performers had a huge day.

For SBC, Drama's Place was back on track after a lower than usual day and so was Fashion House. Ratings overall were still a strong but it was a more positive day for SBC as everything was up from yesterday including Anna Kendrick who has struggled since Tracy Kimmell moved in her timeslot but she still remains one of the strongest options in the lineup.

Victoria Justice leading the Afterschool Special program has been a complete surprise this season her show has done very well head-to-head against ICE's Afterschool Specials in the same slot as well. Victoria Justice is working out pretty well for SBC so far but we'll see how she does in primetime tonight on My Gay Neighbors.

Tonight Rachel returns and we'll see if she's the real deal as she leads into My Gay Neighbors. ROD will likely dominate the night with week 2 of auditions for the pageants and ICE will bring in Fugitive at 17 from RTN and Teen Athlete comes into its regular slot.

The audible we called was huge as ICE is much weaker on Thursdays so this is our chance to explode in the ratings and Hunter & Kacey did just that helping Caitlin Stasey behind it.

Tracy Kimmell is absolutely dominating Anna Kendrick right now!

Kacey Musgraves: Thank you, Tracy and Santana, for bringing our ratings up.

Hunter Hayes: Yeah thank you guys so much as it feels awesome to beat ICE's talk shows and be the highest rated show in daytime today.

Caitlin Stasey: I can't stand ICE for trading me away so I'm glad to beat Arielle Kebbel's bitch ass.

Tracy Kimmell: You're welcome Kacey and Hunter and congratulations Caitlin.

Tracy Kimmell: Damn Anna you still losing to me bitch

Santana Shields: You're welcome Hunter & Kacey the show was awesome and Tracy it was awesome hanging out with you today and now let's kill SBC in primetime.

Lily Collins (DEO): Caitlin you were fucking trash that's why we got rid of you. We weren't about to suffer low ratings because of your ass.

Great move by ROD as I do think the networks should spice up their lineups on ICE's weakest days as having strong guests on bigger ICE days doesn't make any sense.

Tracy Kimmell's ratings will be interesting on the lower days because maybe Anna Kendrick can go back up to where it was at before Tracy premiered.

I can't wait to see how Staying Alive does next week for ICE as Another World has held the fort pretty well despite getting beat by Tracy today.
