Quick observations: None of the girls on MP impress me, except KCassidy. And both of the vampire boys are long-in-the-tooth. Very poor casting on VD. I actually like the cast of Beautiful Life…a LOT.
Since it’s being reported that Vampires will inhabit Thur. 8pm, with Smallville sliding to Fri. 8pm, I’ll echo the prevailing comment: Why is The CW wasting the post-Smallville slot on a weekly rerun of Top Model, instead of getting into the “real” network game with something original, like Reaper, Privileged, Body Politic or The Game—-all more viable and attractive options than a tired old reality repeat of something that aired two days earlier.
