KOY JUNG & JASMINE SANDERS TAKE CARE OF THE AUSSIES BY THEMSELVES

The Jacksonville Stripes climb to a 1-1 record on Monday night in their home opener down in Duval County against Vikky Lee and the Australia Aussies to a score of 30-20 as they showed in this game two things. Even though the Aussies have more talent on their team than the Stripes the talent isn't necessarily better as Vikky Lee was the only one on the team showing a pulse as she threw for over 300 yards in this game for 2 touchdowns and no picks. The surrounding cast around Vikky Lee is not great and this is a team that will need to be redrafted next season. Vikky Lee might even be on the move to a different team as several teams are still looking for a starting QB and Vikky can fit that bill. Also on the move might be Nicole Trunfio's little sister Lucky Trunfio who is still locked up behind bars right now for some incidents she's committed in the past 6 years. Lucky is expected to be released from prison later this fall and her big sister Nicole might not be keeping her on the team when she gets out as it's likely Lucky will be with another franchise who's contending for a playoff spot this season as Lucky is a lot like Gabrielle Shields and Michi Kat Grimes who also just got out of prison themselves last week. Both Gabby and MKG are really talented defensive players like Lucky who can really help out a franchise who needs an extra defensive player to make that jump into the playoffs and clinch a postseason birth.

Koy Jung and Jasmine Sanders dominated this game as Koy Jung who is starting at quarterback although she's normally a receiver threw for over 400 yards off of 3 touchdowns and no picks so she was very efficient in this game throwing 72% completion rate off her passes in this game. Jasmine Sanders aided her off the ground running for a dominant 150+ yards on the ground and getting 1 touchdown earlier in the game. Jasmine Sanders did everything as she also caught 9 passes and caught a touchdown pass as her all-purpose yards bought her to 244 yards.

The Aussies were supposed to win this game even though it was on the road but they don't look too good right now and Jacksonville looks pretty good they need to add more talent around these two girls though.

The Aussies are gonna have to turn it around quick as they got the revived Los Angeles Stars coming into town on Sunday afternoon which will be a Saturday Night Football game on ROD and Jacksonville will stay at home as they got the 0-2 Arizona Desert coming into town looking for their first win of the season.

Next Monday Night we'll be in New York with Madison Beer and the Hitmen coming off a huge upset win for the ages yesterday against the Toronto Icegals as they host Paige Reifler and the Miami Sharks.

The Carpenters Hour (MGM Television) (ICE-TV) (Channel 7)

KYLA RAY & KYA SUMMERS ARE VICTORIOUS ON THEIR 1ST NIGHT IN CHARGE OF ICE

ICE was able to pickup the first victory of the season against ROD's dominant blockbuster tandem of their new top scripted hit of the season Dallas Cowgirls Undercover and Monday Night Football. It was also Kyla Ray and Kya Summers first day as the big bosses of ICE with Paige Van Buren who has already been in the CEO position for a month now and so far ICE is still doing well in primetime under her tenure but she has some extra help with Kyla and Kya coming into share the position with her as well as the Pheds now have 3 CEOs.

Now ICE was able to beat ROD because they had an unusually really high Monday night but later in the season their Mondays might look like this on a regular basis once The Carpenters Hour competition really heats up and Monday Night Football's season comes to an end in January. Last night The Hour's audition tour hit the city of Chicago just like the New Girls in Town Pageant the night before but instead of the United Center these auditions were held in the heart of downtown at the historical famous Chicago Theatre on State Street. Chicago is one of the more important stops of the audition season for The Carpenters Hour and that proved to be the case again as a major superstar has been born.

Unlike on Friday night when Emily "Blueberry" Shields auditioned in Detroit for the New Girls in Town Pageant it was a complete shock and surprise although people knew Blueberry Shields was going to audition at some point but it still wasn't expected to be in her hometown of Detroit. Ever since she auditioned the rumors amped up that her older brother Brett Shields was going to audition and he did just that as people in Chicago spotted Brooke Shields and Tea Leoni together earlier today in downtown Chicago so they knew she was in town to support Brett's audition.

Brett Shields becomes the first male Shields sibling to enter NITRO so he's going to prime real estate at the draft next summer but before he does that he needs to have a great showing at the competition this season. He definitely made it through to the next round which are the callbacks in Detroit at the end of the month so he will be challenged for the first time then.

Brett's audition was just as great as his little sister Blueberry's audition on Friday as one of the judges and coaches JoJo praised his performance as it moved her and it sent a bit of a tear down her eye. Brett didn't have a sob story or anything like that but he had a very emotional performance about his family. He sung the same song that Carly Simon sung "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" which is becoming the Shields Family anthem and the song Gabrielle Shields made very popular to newer music audiences back in 2013. His performance moved a lot of people inside of Chicago Theatre and people at home as the audition has already gone viral with more than 300 million views on YouTube. His sister's audition is already getting close to 3 billion views at 2.6 billion views right now so it's like that Brett will get his video deep into the billions but Blueberry's audition was slightly more popular as it had 650 million views overnight back on early Saturday morning.

Brett Shields audition alone bought The Carpenters Hour to a new series-high 206 million viewers which makes it just the 2nd program in NITRO history to reach over 200 million viewers as The NGIT Pageant did it back on Friday with a record 217 million viewers. Brett's audition grabbed 227 million viewers towards the end of the program so The Carpenters Hour was cooking and with both competitions having Shields siblings on them it will be very interesting to see how these shows rate.

The Carpenters Hour dominated Monday Night Football which wasn't a huge matchup anyways so The Carpenters Hour probably could've won last night without a huge audition involved.

The battle between Dallas Cowgirls Undercover and Truck Ladies is not close but Truck Ladies is doing very well against it getting almost 100 million viewers as it's very close to jumping over that mark. In a lot of situations, that's enough to win the hour but Dallas Cowgirls Undercover has been a massive hit for ROD as we saw DCU actually getting higher ratings than Monday Night Football for the first time. Dallas Cowgirls Undercover is obviously growing massively in popularity probably through word of mouth and it nabbed almost 160 million viewers on Monday night for the Lucy Hale network.

Dallas Cowgirls Undercover is easily and by far away the most watched new scripted show of the season right now and even though people expected it to be a huge blockbuster hit nobody expected it to hit as hard as it's done already through this point. Who Wanted Nichole Dead? and Rachel are close and Rachel has a chance to beat it this week like it's done last week so this three-way battle should be interesting and maybe someone new will join the conversation soon as a lot of NITRO stars are growing in massive popularity lately which could help a large number of these shows.

ICE's nighttime soap and medical procedural hit Overnight Nurses had a huge lead-in from The Carpenters Hour so it's not a surprise that it hit an all-time new high in the ratings grabbing 140.45 million viewers to easily win the 11pm hour. That makes Overnight Nurses the most watched scripted series in the 11pm hour of all-time.

NBC took the night off and really wasn't a factor but Chicago PD actually repeated pretty well for them. NBC is taking Mondays off for the time being because they know they can't compete against ICE and ROD on this night since both networks are grabbing around 300 million viewers between the two of them.


Tomorrow night in primetime we'll have NBC back in action in primetime as they have one of their biggest nights in network history to-date as this is a massively huge night as the 2nd night of the new NBC formal dress code will be in action as their actors will wear savvy business attire tomorrow night for their live comedy tapings and the big dogs are in town like Jethro Grantham, Dana Strong, and Jessica Lowndes. Terri Shields will make her second appearance as a series regular on the new hit Friends spin-off comedy Rachel. We'll see if Rachel can improve on its record ratings performance from last Thursday tomorrow night. NBC is expected to win the night but ICE and ROD will compete for 2nd place as ICE will roll out their Psycho Bitch Night lineup with the Janit O'Day franchise shows together again against ROD's country shows.

Monday had a lot going on but the day was surrounded around two different events one being the big meeting between Simon Cowell (#5) and Jethro Grantham (#6) on if Simon would sell his ownership stake to Jethro and it got rejected leading to a huge protest and riot (#3) in downtown Paris and some other gay communities around the world. A huge surprise came out of this and that was the unofficial season debut of Jessica Lowndes who trended #2 on Monday behind Brett Shields who was in 1st for his audition on The Carpenters Hour auditions in Chicago (#4) as Brett becomes the first male Shields sibling to enter NITRO next season after he gets drafted. His little sister Blueberry trended #9 on the list as she continues to become the talk of the NITRO community after her historic audition on Friday. Blueberry's half-sister Strawberry trended #18 on the list for a number of things such as Staying Alive, DJ Becky's premiere on Wednesday, and her spectacular performance in the WFL with her sister Kay from the day before.

Other trending topics including Dallas Cowgirls Undercover getting inside of the top 10 ranking in at #7 and the other series Overnight Nurses at #19 as Truck Ladies was trending but not in the top 20 on Monday.

Ex-Carpenters Hour contestant Madison Beer (#8) was also a huge topic on Monday as it was announced that she will be coming to ICE after she took the day off in New York and will make her debut in Toronto on Wednesday. Kendall Jenner who's also debuting on Wednesday in Toronto for ICE was just fired by Lucy Hale today so her name was in the news as she trended #16 on the list. Making her ICE debut today was Yareli Reyes (#20) who has been in the news for her connections with her brother Devin Reyes, Kya Summers, Jethro & Lisa Grantham, and disruption of Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik.

Megan May Williams (#11) hurt quite a few kids today notoriously known for cracking skulls all day even got news for having wet blood on her overalls staining new ICE Co-CEO Kyla Ray's (#14) white sweater dress that she wore to celebrate her occasion as her first day in office as CEO. Megan accidently stained Kyla's dress by hugging her. Also celebrating her first day as CEO at ICE was Kya Summers who ranked #12 ahead of Kyla Ray was trending for all of the news that she's made since it was announced that she was leaving ROD last week. Bridget Satterlee ranked #15 as she's kept her streak on the list along with Strawberry Shields.

The continued Jordache Jeans (#10) vs. Gucci Jeans (#13) war intensifies as Gucci Jeans clothes are now available in stores today as some of the actors wearing their items especially the dresses got them trending.

Last but not least was Koy Jung (#16) who represented the WFL with the Monday Night Football matchup between the Australia Aussies and Jacksonville Stripes. Koy Jung's passing performance helped her trend as she's currently ROD's top rookie.

NBC stars get dressed up tomorrow and the continued LGBTQ Community protests will still be a huge story tomorrow.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (ROD)


Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (ROD Sony Alliance)


LOS ANGELES, CA - ROD Daytime President and future owner Jacqueline MacInnes Wood was asked on Monday about her thoughts on the way Madison Beer betrayed and left NBC and Jacqui Mac has a lot of enemies at NBC but she says she totally understands her decision.

The first thing that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood pointed out was that ICE is a totally different studio from ROD and NBC and it's more catered to the younger actors who live a more bachelor or bachelorette lifestyle than the actors who typically work for ROD and NBC. She says ROD is more on the professional where some of the actors have their own families at home while NBC is more of a hybrid between ROD and ICE where there's some actors who have families at home and some who don't as NBC is a suburban studio so some actors commute from Paris to the studio and some live on the studio's campus itself.

Either way Jacqui Mac says that actors like Madison Beer tend to be free spirits and what their own freedom and when I was at ICE whether Pat Devine or Jessica Lowndes was in charge I was always given a lot of freedom as it wasn't as structured as the other studios the bosses were way cooler too because of how young they were so that made them relatable.

I really just think ICE is the best fit for someone like Madison right now and I think she can easily return to NBC in the future or come work for ROD in the future. I don't think she will be at ICE that long but she's very young right now and ICE is her best fit at the moment until she matures.

Madison really reminds me of myself when I was younger coming up in the game in NITRO in my early 20s there was only a few stars in NITRO back then with Allison Shields and Tracy Kimmell leading the way. I starred in Toronto's Friends, starred in a few soaps, and hosted The Noon Show which is now It's High Noon with Pyper America. Back then I was living the single life in Toronto and had roommates who were actors in my studio and sometimes I used to DJ at night which is why they created DJ Becky which is being rebooted later this week on ICE with Strawberry and Kay Shields.

A lot has changed in the past few years I got married and had a child so my life really changed on me and Los Angeles was a more appropriate fit as I outgrew the Toronto lifestyle but those were some of the best years of my life. ICE is a lot different than it was the first few years there it seems to be a lot more dangerous now at the high school studio they operate out of now. I could never work somewhere like that on a regular basis at the speed I live at now. I've heard the horror stories from Nadja Bjorlin who has to go there every Friday to film scenes live for her storyline on Who Wanted Nichole Dead? but overall it's just a different studio these days. It's still sort of the same studio it's a young person's studio it's really for teen actors or adults in their 20s and 30s right now.

The biggest adjustment I had to make in Los Angeles is that here with ROD were not as close with the fans.

When you work at ICE you're really close with the citizens and now in the case of the high school students.

I drive to work here in LA but in Toronto I never owned a car up there the whole time, I only had my car here in LA but in Toronto I actually took public transportation or walked to work when I moved closer to the studio. A lot of actors at ICE take public transportation to work whether it's the train or bus that's how they commute but most actors walk to work because they live close to Paramount Hall downtown or the studio in East York. The people of Toronto knew us personally so it was normal for them to see an actor everyday. I actually knew people who I would see everyday going to work and talked to them. People didn't really treat you different just because you were a big television star but they really made us feel at home. At some restaurants we didn't have to pay for the bills because the people who managed or owned the food joins loved our company it bought more people to their business when we ate there because people wanted to meet us.

Toronto overall is just so much different than Los Angeles or Paris although they're all huge cities with massive populations but in Toronto it was just a different atmosphere.

It wasn't always like that our first year or two there people had to get used to us because people treated us like stars so it wasn't that easy to be out in the open in public like that but due to the fact that people were more familiar with us my last couple of years there it changed and people were more comfortable with us. Moving into the high school studio really changed things for us as that's when we really started getting close with the community there. You know a ton of students who attend the high school inside out. It's a little bit more different because the school is in bad shape with the roster but it used to really be fun before ICE ruined East York Secondary Academy.

My favorite thing about working for ICE was simply taking the bus or the train to work with other people and the way people treated us. That always put a smile on my face. If people felt like we didn't want to be bothered they let us be but if they felt like we were in a good mood I had conversations with them.

I think Madison Beer will love it at ICE and you can already hear from Yareli Reyes' experience how much she loves it at the Phederation.

I actually wanted Madison to come here because she reminds me so much of a younger version of myself but that's okay as long as she's happy I'm happy for her. I like the way Tempestt Bledsoe has changed NBC but it's just not a fit for kids like Madison right now who want more freedom.

I feel like Kya Summers going there will really help things out I've known Kya since she was drafted in 2010 and she's changed a lot in the past 5 years and I feel like she will make sure these kids like Madison will be okay. It's just amazing to me how girls like Kyla Ray and Paige Van Buren who I watched grow up are now in charge of the studio it's crazy!





Bella Hadid & Kendall Jenner (ROD)

LOS ANGELES, CA - Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid's little sister Bella Hadid spend Monday all day on the beach away from Lucy Hale as they hangout at Malibu Beach in Malibu, California on what's going to be their last full day in Los Angeles for a while as they take flight to Toronto tomorrow night to get ready for their ICE debuts on Wednesday.

It's being reported by NITRO Insider & Inside Edition Host Lisa Guerrero that Kendall Jenner has not worked a single day this season at ROD as she did not put in an absence excuse or maternity leave like her sister Kylie Jenner did. Kendall ditched work all September long for modeling work and in NITRO if an actor misses at least almost a whole month of work then their studio has the right to fire them for not showing up for work. NITRO Officials can take action as well but in this situation Lucy Hale took the option to fire Kendall Jenner who was awarded an executive position on Lucy's executive chain but she never showed up to work the whole month.

Kendall was very irresponsible about it as she never talked to Lucy one time about why she missed work so Lucy was fed up with the silence because Kendall was still being paid although she hasn't been active for attendance and Lucy had enough.

Lisa Guerrero says that Lucy Hale called Kendall Jenner on Monday morning and shouted at her over the phone asking where the hell has she been and Kendall told Lucy to go fuck herself and that she didn't want to be at ROD anymore point blank period. Lucy fired Kendall in their conversation and terminated her contract so Kendall is now jobless in NITRO at the moment but that didn't last for long. A lot of actors are starting to influence each other and there's some strong speculation that Kendall might've been persuaded by Bella to leave LA for Toronto to come and join her.

Kendall is trying to become an owner in NITRO as well and feels like Lucy slighted her by not giving her a higher executive position and Kendall has been holding a grudge against Lucy ever since threatening to not show up for work but Kendall never did it publicly but it was plan with her agent and manager.

Kendall might love the fact too that Kya Summers is running ICE so she probably feels like she can get away with some shit or ultimately become an owner there a lot more easier than she would've at ROD who are really favoring Jacqueline MacInnes Wood ownership group to enter that 3rd position that's opening in their ownership chain so it looks like Kendall has had enough.

Kendall spent all of Monday on the beach to relax and get ready for Toronto tomorrow night as it was Kendall's plan to come with Bella and Kara anyways because Kendall has secretly been talking to Sarah Jessica Parker over the weekend through Shane Tovar who Kendall is friends with through their modeling in Europe over the past 5 years while NITRO was out of service. Kendall secretly visited Shane on Sunday to watch the New York Hitmen and Los Angeles Stars games before leaving. Sarah Jessica Parker wants Kendall to do some modeling work for Jordache Jeans when she gets up to Toronto starting on Wednesday.

Kya Summers contacted Kendall after she heard about Lucy Hale firing her over the phone asking her to come to Toronto on Wednesday so that ICE can sign her but now that's going to be Kendall's first day with ICE as she's going to join Bella, Kara, and Madison Beer on Wednesday for their ICE debuts.

Kendall will likely join either the New Girls in Town Pageant or Vegas Showgirls staffs to help out the contestants behind the scenes every week and that's an executive position so Kendall can become an owner within another season or two.

There's some growing concern about Lucy Hale being too much of a power abusing bitch like Jessica Lowndes was at ICE and she's actively scaring actors off with her damn attitude problem so we'll see if any other actors want to leave before this huge NITRO trade in a couple of weeks.

[beermoney]

loving the new font Proxio as it's really sleeker and easier to read too for people with glasses and stuff

man oh man Dallas Cowgirls Undercover is absolutely killing it right now with no help in front of it either and Truck Ladies is holding so well against it

it's amazing how the Shields family really drives up the ratings up whenever they appear on tv, it's absolutely incredible

the only question i have is which Shields sibling is getting drafted first Blueberry or Brett? i have to assume Brett because there's not as many young male superstars in NITRO as there are female superstars

i totally understand why NBC are taking Mondays off this fall, the competition is too much

[dstiles]

I like the new font too and I've also been very impressed by the ratings for Dallas Cowgirls Undercover nice to see a surprise like that and that was perfect scheduling from Lucy Hale to put it next Monday Night Football. Truck Ladies next The Carpenters Hour is working for ICE too.

I too wonder who will get drafted first between Brett Shields and Blueberry Shields as it can go either way I expect one of them to get taken in the first 3 picks.

In the poll, both of them have done some nasty things today but I think Madison Beer is going to be hated even worse for leaving NBC like the way she did, and becoming an ICE Starlet especially these days is a villain move. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood put it perfectly because Madison is a free spirit she doesn't like to follow the rules so ICE is the perfect studio for her because her bosses will let her do whatever she wants. ICE is a very young studio with young irresponsible bosses. It's different and I think we're finding out more and more that girls who are moving around are doing it because they're not in the right studios. I feel like NBC and ROD still have some girls on their roster who will turn on them like Madison just did it's just a matter of time. ICE has already dealt with several girls turning on them because they don't feel safe up there.

Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid feel like ICE girls, I can't wait for them to get to Toronto on Wednesday.

[rodshooter]

I'm so thrilled with Dallas Cowgirls Undercover's numbers because it's weeks like these that really show how strong a program is when the Monday Night Matchup was on the weak side and The Carpenters Hour is much stronger this week. I think because we got Madison Beer next week those ratings will be stronger than this week's games as these ratings are always predicated on the quality of the game.
