Starting with this week's, ostensibly to save them for when "Top
Model" returns
(according to Kristin at E! though UPN hasn't announced it yet)

Argh!!! Here I was looking forward to it. Although I can't blame them
since they would be going up against the Olympics and a new episode of
"Lost."

But next week it would be going against a rerun of the Lost pilot.

And American Idol, which is going to be 2-hours that night -- hence
the repeat of Lost's pilot.

This friggin' blows.
It also doesn't bode well for VM's chances in The All New! NEW!! CW(BS)
network...

Ep guides has the next new episode on March 8th
The schedule there calls for
March - 3 new episodes
April - 2 new episodes (aIring on the final two Wednesdays in April)
That leaves 4 unaired episodes. There are five Wednesdays in May. Four
of them are before Memorial Day.
This means they could air six consecutive new episodes starting on
4-19-06. That's a pattern similar to S1.
So if they can get the same synergy as they did before with America's
Top Model, that would be a good thing for the show's ratings and
future.
It looks as if they are simply trying to avoid the 'Idol' juggernaut.
Even 'Lost' is avoiding 'Idol,' looks like.
