Exclusive! 40-second peek at new CW series
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009The CW just released a sneak preview of its new summer reality series, Hitched or Ditched, and it appears to capture all the tension you’d expect with a wedding-under-fire, including an ex-boyfriend’s shocking admission of love. Six episodes will follow various couples who’ve dated for years…and now must decide whether to marry within a week—or break-up for good. The show was created by Mike Fleiss, executive producer of The Bachelor and High School Reunion, so you know there’s gonna be juicy drama. Check out the promo and post your thoughts!


Two original reality series will debut this summer on The CW: Hitched or Ditched and Blonde Charity Mafia. Premiering after the May 26 finale of Reaper, Hitched centers on couples who’ve been dating for years—and are given an ultimatum to either set a wedding date within a week, or break up altogether. Of course, each featured couple will be put through a series of personalized exercises to test their relationship. The show is hosted by Tanya McQueen (pictured) from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Following its six-week run, Blonde Charity Mafia will then take over the Tuesday timeslot. It’s a docu-drama about Washington, D.C.’s most influential 20-something Alpha Girls, the ladies with the hottest ticket in town. From Congressmen to Capitol Hill staffers, everyone vies for an invitation to their social events—and Mafia exploits are played up Gossip Girl-style on latenightshots.com. Along with the summer announcements, the network decided against an early fall launch prior to September, Variety reports, and will likely follow the pattern of last year’s head start around Labor Day.
