It was an eventful Monday night full of series premieres and season finales, but Dancing With the Stars still managed to come out on top with 18.7 million viewers, according to preliminary overnight ratings. Also on ABC, The Bachelorette premiered to rosy numbers (9 million fans). Elsewhere, 24′s two-hour season finale seemed to struggle up against the Stars/Bachelorette combo, earning an okay 9.4 million, down from last week’s 10.1 million. Over on The CW, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill ended their seasons with a so-so 2.2 and 2.6 million, respectively.

I think the dancing with stars was rigged because i couldn’t get though the phone lines to vote for cheryl & Giles and i tried over an hour. Also the cbs web-site crashed so u couldn’t vote there.They only lost by 1% and it was because we couldn’t vote!!!!!!
