The season finale of "Make Me A Supermodel," marked a series high among all demos. Since premiering in January, the series averaged 1,045,000 total viewers and 732,000 adults 18-49, and logged in eight telecasts with over a million viewers, making it one of the network's most popular creative competition series. Holly Kiser, the last remaining female model up against three male model finalists, won a $100,000 prize, a modeling contract with New York Model Management, and a fashion pictorial in GQ magazine. Over the course of an intense twelve week period shot in real time and through a series of challenges and eliminations, Kiser beat out 13 other model hopefuls and the three other finalists (Ben, Perry and Ronnie) to make her dreams of becoming a bona fide model come true.

Last night's 11 p.m. premiere of "Step It Up & Dance," followed 12 of the most talented dancers from around the country as they moved into their LA loft, met host, Elizabeth Berkley, mentor and Tony-Award winning choreographer, Jerry Mitchell, and competed in their first challenge for guest judges Jaime King and Spice Girl Mel B. The dancers hit the stage in front of a live audience and are joined by legendary burlesque performer, Cati Jean and her dance troupe L'effleur Des Sens, and 40 Deuce's Carolina Cerisola to perform a choreographed "Apache Tango," a highly dramatic, erotic and aggressive dance associated with Parisian street culture. One dancer will be declared the winner, and another dancer will take their final bow.
