The CW is planning a new reality competition called The Frame that is basically the now-dead Fox Reality Channel’s show Solitary with elements of Big Brother (there’s a live Internet feed) and The Amazing Race (the living spaces will be inhabited by two people with a preexisting relationship).

More than eight years ago, there was a fantastic series on MTV called, simply, Fear. The series featured a lot of scary moments and maybe even some paranomal activity, and although the show exaggerated the truth of its locations, what was clear was that the participants were often scared shitless. That’s because they were alone,… continue reading

The CW’s new competition Stylista, which debuts tonight at 9 p.m. ET, is produced by America’s Next Top Model‘s producers (including Tyra Banks), but it aspires to be like a Bravo competition.

In the US version, 10 women travel to rural… continue reading

The second season of The CW’s Pussycat Dolls reality competition debuts tonight, but instead of adding another person to the group, as the first season did, the show will search for three girls to form a brand-new group.
