According to Wikipedia:

"On 14 December 2006, controversy erupted when TMZ.com published an article stating that Conner might be dethroned for unacceptable behavior in several New York City bars. According to a report, sources told TMZ.com that Conner is "out of control".

Executives of Miss USA pageant — Donald Trump and its broadcaster NBC — met the same day to discuss whether to release Conner from her duties. The Miss Universe Organization released a statement saying that Conner had not been dethroned and that they and Trump would be "evaluating her behavioral and personal issues" and would make an announcement within the week.

On 15 December 2006, TMZ reported that Conner would be stripped of her crown, and that first runner-up Tamiko Nash, who gave up the Miss California USA title in October, would inherit the Miss USA title. This was neither confirmed nor denied by the Miss Universe Organization.

The 16 December 2006 edition of the New York Daily News reported Tara had tested positive for cocaine, had lustily kissed Miss Teen USA Katie Blair in public, and had sneaked men into their Trump Place apartment. One New York City nightlife veteran said "She really is a small-town girl. She just went wild when she came to the city. Tara just couldn't handle herself. They were sneaking those nightclub guys in and out of the apartment." ... The fate of Conner was announced on 19 December 2006, and despite much media speculation, Conner was not dethroned as Miss USA. "I've always been a believer in second chances," Trump said at a news conference."

Will the CW survive with their current marketing strategy?

Will the CW survive with their current marketing strategy?

16 answers, +3 raves

Blooming network, CWTV, seems to have had a rocky start over the last six months for their newly formed mashed network made up of part The WB and part UPN. Many discussions took place regarding their initial "Free to Be" campaign, which seemed to involve making nearly every single actor/ess look as ugly as possible and splash that look all over larger cities in the United States. Once the network launched, they quickly ran into ratings issues with their newest show, which was pulled fairly quickly and replaced with an older show.

Now that we're in the mid-season for the CW, everyone is curious as to how the baby network is fairing, given its rough start. Rumors go around that shows are having to market themselves rather than the CW taking that burden onto themselves (yet, travelling concerts in the summer, pre-CW launch, seems perfectly fitting).

We all knew and expected that it may take some time for stragglers to "find" the CW and stay attention, but with the current and upcoming line-up with shows focusing on beauty pageant contestants and their relationships with Mommy Dearest, many are worried that the fledgling may never fly.

What do you think? Will the CW make it? Or will it crash and burn and eventually take the same destined fate its parents were bound to face?
