January 20, 201312 yr Quite nervous for the show. Excited all the same to watch it but nervous too. Hopefully it gets decent ratings... not expecting anything big since I doubt many Americans will flick through their TV guide tonight and go 'Ooh! Have to watch that!' when nobody really knows who they are but hopefully it's not disastrously bad that they move the show to a different slot. Edited January 20, 201312 yr by Encore
January 20, 201312 yr E! has been promoting the hell out of them. They've had an advert in each of their commercial breaks and they are following one of the highest-rated shows on the network. The show has a lot of 'storylines' so the public won't be bored, and the girls are extremely likeable. I say we should have a little hope in them.
January 20, 201312 yr Yeah, but the storylines throughout the series that have been created mean nothing if nobody really bothers to tune in to the first episode... but like you say it's following the Kardashian show so hopefully the show gains those viewers too. I also worry that they are far too reliant on this show taking off and doing the work for them. Edited January 20, 201312 yr by Encore
January 20, 201312 yr There's a few short clips of this on Twitter. One where Frankie is homesick and upset and Mollie comforts her in her hotel room ("I know you just want to share a bed with me" :lol:) and another one of the girls rehearsing the What About Us routine.

January 20, 201312 yr Yeah I agree. There has been a lot of promo for this show. Plus it's airing right after the new season of the new Kardashian's show. So at least the premiere episode will get decent ratings. I've got a good feeling about the show. But I don't think The Sats will completely rely on the show for promo. SO EXCITED!!
January 21, 201312 yr P.S. The show was AMAZING! I hope someone posts a link soon. Episode 1 covers their arrival, rehersals, VMA's & the Perez Hilton after party performance. So good.
January 21, 201312 yr Someone find a link :wacko: I can't find one anywhere GUTTED. It clearly has had a BIG effect on iTunes WBU up to #133 in the US and #67 in Canada (Was over 180 in the US before the show).
January 21, 201312 yr https://www.youtube.com/user/Iloveyeww00/ That user has uploaded the episode in three parts but it's very low quality, best we can do for now.
January 21, 201312 yr Harry Styles tweeted about the show, so good to see that the worlds biggest boyband are supporting the girls! :wub: Just watched last nights show, I really enjoyed it but felt like it needed to be longer haha. I was really getting into it and then it had finished haha. Love Mollie & Frankies friendship, it's adorable. :D
January 21, 201312 yr Can't wait for tonights episode :D loved the first one but it did feel a bit short.
January 21, 201312 yr the 2nd episode is apparently ment to show them making the WAU video. This could mean a jump in the charts?
January 21, 201312 yr Harry and Niall from One Direction have Tweeted for people to watch this. :) (shame they didn't Tweet a link to the song on iTunes :lol:)
January 23, 201312 yr Forgive me if this isn't the case, but it seems from this link that their show didn't make the Top 100 most watched cable shows on Sunday? http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/01/2..._source=twitter
January 23, 201312 yr Yeah apparently they didn't even get 0.3 impressions with the premiere. Oh girls. It was always going to be difficult to convince Americans to watch a reality TV show about an unknown girl group, no matter how many ads are played promoting it. And why are they no longer Vevo Lift Artists? It all seems to be going tits up after a great start to the campaign.
January 23, 201312 yr Oh dear.... to be expected though. No American outside the (rather small) fanbase would be compelled to watch them when they know next to nothing about them. Bit of a shame, especially if this signals how the rest of their American plans are going to go lol. Hate to see them completely flop and come back here with the press and their 'Ha! Told you so!' style stories. Sure the Daily Mail commenters would love this to happen haha. :P I admire them for being so determined in giving it a go and thinking up the show etc but now they really need to do a hardcore US radio tour ASAP if they want the song/the group itself to take off or they're not going to happen at all, they can't rely on the show or some TV promo here and there evidently. They need to work at it and keep at it. Radio is the key for them now. Not just two or three interviews in LA or New York, but actually travel round other cities/states too, even if they have to do it without Rochelle. I hope they don't think they're above doing radio tours. Especially before there's another spanner in the works by Little Mix arriving on the scene in March and completely wipe them out. Songs can take months in the US to take off so hopefully that's the case here. :P At least they have Glozell's approval... silver lining and all that. :P GloZell Green @GloZell OH NO I LoVE @TheSaturdays That's it I'm moving over the pond -GloZell Edited January 23, 201312 yr by Encore
January 23, 201312 yr ^ Yeah I agree. The American public is incrediby difficult to win over. That being said I don't think the show not having high ratings is going to hurt them, as any bit of exposure is good. What the girls need is a big radio tour like The Wanted, Cher Lloyd, Rita Ora did. I mean it takes some time because the country is so big, but it will be worth it once the airplay increases. Remember songs for new artists in the US take a while to take off becuase radio isn't quick to playing them as they are for popular artists. The 4 girls should come back & begin.
