Pussycat Dolls Present

The Pussycat Dolls Present is an American reality TV series that premiered on March 6, 2007 on The CW, and took place over the course of eight weeks. It was a joint venture between Ken Mok's 10 by 10 Entertainment, Pussycat LLC, and Warner Horizon Television.

Overview

The series followed a group of young women as they went through an audition process to join the pop/R&B girl group, the Pussycat Dolls. The contestants, who also lived together during the course of the series, were groomed by the group's founder and the series' creator and co-producer, Robin Antin, and were judged on their vocal and dancing ability. Outside of stage performances, the contestants experience choreography, song recording and tensions together.

First season winner Asia Nitollano went on to join the Pussycat Dolls as the act's seventh member, and appeared in the series but performed with the group only once on the show since after opting to go solo before the series premiered. Third placer Chelsea Korka however joined a new Robin Antin group called the Paradiso Girls.

The Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious

The Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious is the second and final season of Pussycat Dolls Present, in which young aspiring female singers/dancers compete in order to claim their spots to become the group "Girlicious". Girlicious is the creation of Robin Antin, creator of The Pussycat Dolls, who in the first season was searching for The Next Doll, but is now searching for an entirely new pop group by the name Girlicious. Girlicious, unlike the Pussycat Dolls, will be a more urbanized, all female trio. This is the format for the second season of the Pussycat Dolls Present series, focusing mostly on female dancers/singers, looking for fame in the music industry. It premiered on Monday, February 18, 2008. This season features 15 young women competing for the 3 slots open. The contestants are: Alexis Pelekanos, Carrie Jones, Cassandra Porter, Charlotte Benesch, Charlye Nichols, Chrystina Sayers, Ilisa Juried, Jamie Lee Ruiz, Jenna Artzer, Keisha Henry, Kristin McCallum-Vlaze, Megan Dupre, Natalie Mejia, Nichole Cordova and Tiffanie Anderson. The album will be out on August 12 and their first single premiered on April 23 right after the finale of the series. The same day, "Stupid Shit" was released. Their first single can be heard on their official myspace. A third season of Pussycat Dolls Present was planned, but then the show was officially cancelled due to its low ratings.
