ABC's all-night "Bachelorette" fest delivered steady, if not particularly exciting, numbers for the network on Monday evening. The only other new programming -- FOX's "Hell's Kitchen" and "Masterchef" -- sopped up the most of the remaining iewers, leaving the rest adrift in a sea of August re-runs.

ABC averaged 9.4 million viewers and a 6.2 rating/10 share in households for the evening. FOX wasn't too terribly far behind (5.4 million, 3.2/5). CBS (4.4 million, 3.0/5) came in third overall, with NBC (just 3.6 million, 2.4/4) and The CW (504,000, 0.4/1) finishing last.

ABC was also the overall 18-49 leader, with a 2.7 rating.

How can FOX not be too terribly behind with a 5.4mil rating vs ABCs 9.4mil. 4 mil is a great difference.

This writer tries to be witty and funny but that she is not, sad.

Oh well another error for Preta to deal with tomorrow when he is available toc ome to work.

m E O W/Donna...seriously...even though I luv smelling the Paul Reiser shoe over and over and over again, you are just hopeless, lonely and in need of whatever help you can muster. Gal, even though I spoiler the Batchelorrette (and will soon spoiler the Batchelorr Pad), you need a life, a reality check and maybe some time in the funny farm to finally get a hold of your priorities and maybe there might be some hope for you. Even though ericthemidshit and I are tampon louses, it's pointless to call you names anymore because you'll just say the same stupid crap like you always do. Even though I kiss up endlessly to dat divet miss thang preta the divet, just hoping one day you'll see the light because sister, you've got problems and you need to tackle them head on instead of wastign whatever you refer to as a life on these forum boards obsessing over the craziest of **** like a reality show and Paul Reiser and stuff. Even though I write long and boring essays that are worse than the dribble put forth by preta's assistant's assistant copy and paster, lose the alter egos as well because honey, you're not fooling anyone by that charade of yours. Even though I am a haha lol purr sad thin, stop being the focus of attention and get your life back on track and may I add, the quicker, the better. Just admit you need some help! Noww off to Thundera.

You're pathetic m e o w and your stupid alter egos as well, copying and pasting past stuff I stated. I take it you didn't learn anything from what i wrote to you on here last night. Shows that even a chimpanzee has more common sense than you do, but that would be insulting to the chimp by comparing you and it in the same matter. Lady, get a life and get some help or the men with the big nets will be coming for you shortly. Even if you were thrown into the deep sea, the sharks would spit you back, you piece of elephant dung. Now off to therapy!!!

Get rid of this predjuced Liz Kelly. I can't stand reading her reports anymore!
