New TVD season coming and we need good ratings!

posted by jacky_

Season 3 of the Vampire Diaries begins on September 15th on the CW 8/7c(8:00pm Eastern Time and 7:00pm Central Time USA).

Hello fellow TVD fans!We are less than a week away from episode 3x01 titled "The Birthday"and I know that the excitement is too much to handle.Lets recap a little bit ,shall we?

Waaaaaay back in May "As I Lay Dying"was one of the most anticipated episodes of season 2 and there is a reason why!Actually scrap that...There were many reasons!
1.The Ripaaaaah! - Stefan was responsible for Damon becoming a vampire in 1864 so when he found out that his brother was bitten door a werewolf he felt obligated to find a cure.Even if [To quote Katherine Pierce in 2x22]he had to sacrifice everything including Elena to save his bro.In the penultimate scene we see how Stefan was fighting the Rippah inside of him and in the end he gave in.
2.The Delena kiss ❤- need to say more?
3.Jeremy and his dead girlfriends.To keep it short - Jeremy died ,he was brought back to life and now he could audition on linkthe remake.That last scene in the S2F was so shocking that I even had to zoek for my jaw on the floor.When I first saw the back of Vicky , I thought it was Katherine.But then when they showed her infront I was like "What.the.hell's going on?"Then Jeremy went downstairs with Vicky following silently in the back (spooky)and he saw Anna , my facial expression was link

After such a finale I was surprised that it only got like 2 and something million aantal keer bekeken live.And yes I am aware that TVD was up against American Idol but there are other reasons.Many residents in the USA don't realy know when TVD airs so they watch it on the Internet and others tend to DVR the toon and then later watch it.

But are ratings even important?
Yes, they are really important.They are the reason whether TVD gets renewed of cancelled , whether the CW will increase the toon budget, whether Elena will wear the same blue sweater all season ,whether we receive good edited of bad edited episodes , whether we get good actors(guest starring actors of even regulars) ,whether we get amazingly decorated sets,whether we get good effects on an episode and so on.As u can see ratings are meer important than they seem.And if u don't believe me check Ian Somerhalder's tweets from April , 7th saying that watching the toon live will secure its future.

But TVD is the number one rated toon on the CW at this moment.
True , but compared to the ratings we had at the begining of season 2 and the whole season 1 we won't be soon (Shows like Ringer and The Secret cirkel have the potential of getting us of the throne)+The higher the ratings, the better we get =)
Ok.So how do we help in getting meer viewers?

1.WATCH THE toon LIVE!DON'T DVR IT AND THEN WATCH LATER. u can DVR the toon but watch it live! Please if u have the chance - do it.

2.I heard that the CW channel is rare in the USA.You can watch it online when it's airing.Here is a link link (Thanks Jendelena again for the link ^^)[b]
Also -->

[b]Note: The CW is supposed to be offline.It comes online an uur before TVD airs of it even comes online at 8pm .(Could u guys provide me with meer linken for online watching in the comments? Thanks in advance =] )

3.Promotion.The CW can make 10000 promos but the truth is that fans have a big part in making the toon famous.No wonder everytime there is an award toon the actors say that they wont be here if it wasn't for us.If u follow some of teh advices bellow it might help TVD get meer fans = meer views:

- Tell your vrienden that TVD is a great toon and it deserves a shot =)

- link TVD on Facebook.It may not seem important but when your fb vrienden chech your profiel they will see that u "like" TVD and they may give it a chance.

- Give antwoorden to people who ask when does TVD air.Believe you'll be surprised how many residents in the USA don't know when TVD airs and on what channel airs.

- Favouriting TVD videos on youtube also helps.Because late they appear on the front youtube page of your yt vrienden and subscribers.

- Talking about TVD on twitter ,tumblr ,myspace and all other social networks helps =)

- For twitter users:

(If u have meer ideas please commentaar and I will include them / crediting u ,ofcourse, and giving u props)[/b]

Why should I watch episode 1 of Season 3?

Well if the ratings aren't a good reason for u then reading this link(spoiler alert for those who don't want to be spoiled) of the episode will help you.Or watching link amazing promo of link mind blowing one.The episode will also feature Elena's birtday,The Rippah going on a murder spree with Klaus,lots of Delena scenes,Naked Damon,Forwood(Warning:You gotta take a cold douche after seeing them in the promo),Catt,Alaric (the chunky monkey's back),Jeremy dealing with Anna and Vicky ,lots of blood and hotness,Bonnie or/and Katherine (hopefully!) and ofcourse I haven't forgotten u Stelena fans.Even though I know some of u want to boycott the toon because of the many DE scenes coming up (which I don't mind lol) As a DE fan I think that Julie and Kevin will feature one of atleast 2 good scenes for you!(Otherwise how do u explain that pic from the set?) =)And if thats not enough, from the gathered info I have from interviews, Elena is not giving up on Stefan just yet.She will have him on her mind during her Birthday for sure.

Thank u soo much for reading!I really hope this interview had some kinda of an impact on you.And I hope that I made the people who DVR the toon to watch it live and that I made others promote the toon ! Thank you!Feel free to post this artikel anywhere. (Credit me please )

Note:This is the first time I have EVER written an artikel so please don't be so hard on me.

deluv Great Article :)) Post it on other TVD spots as well

jacky_ Thank you.I will post it in abit ^^

delenasalvatore I really REALLY hope the ratings go back up to 3 million+. The first half of the season got good ratings, until 2x14, when the numbers dropped to 2.78 million (according to Wikipedia). The next episode saw the ratings regain 3 million, and from 2x16 the numbers slowly declined. 2x16 received JUST under 3 million, 2x17 fell to 2.73, 2x18 saw a slight rise (2.81), 2x19 got 2.70, and 'The Last Day' received 2.68 but the last 2 episodes did better pulling in 2.84 and 2.86 million respectively. It's not that bad, because the ratings did begin to go back up, but they need to get better. I live in the UK, and I unfortunately can't watch it live, but I think the new season premiere will see the ratings return to what they were at the start of last season. If not, then it's OK, as long as they remain steady throughout. If the numbers dwindle more and more over time, then that would be a big concern, but I don't think the CW would ever pull the plug on a show this big. Let's remember that its airing globally, and that's bound to be a factor as well.

mine17 Totally agree with you. If I lived on US I'd definitely watch TVD live.

misty11 i will watch it live if i lived in the us but i dont but i support tvd allways!!! only to bad only season 1 was her in the netherlands on a crazy thime and channel. love your articel

Veronica ordered them to stop in front of a stake. In the center there was a big pole where they were being tied onto.
“Where’s Elena?” Damon begged to know.
“She’s with her brother” Veronica replied.
“Don’t hurt her. She’s sick” Damon appealed.
“She’s just a girl. It’s not her fault she’s the doppelganger. She wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’d sacrifice herself for her loved ones anytime” Stefan tried to reason with Veronica.
“Shut up, both of you. She’s responsible for Tyler’s transition to a hybrid. It’s a good thing he was the only hybrid ever created”...

A couple of hours later Veronica unchained Damon. “Don’t even think about running” she zei threatening. She opened the door and three of her minions appeared. They cuffed Damon’s hands and feet and when Damon looked up he saw Stefan, Katherine and Caroline were all chained onto each other. Veronica’s minions dragged Damon vooruit, voorwaarts and chained him onto the rest.
“Now, walk” Veronica ordered. They wouldn’t verplaats and thus Veronica nodded at one of her minions. He fired a bullet and Katherine screamed.
Stefan started moving, but Katherine, Caroline and Damon tried to stop him.
“Stefan,...

Elijah walked through the woods. After some bickering with Rebekah they had agreed it would be safest if one of them, Rebekah, would stay behind and man the headquarters, while the other, Elijah, would go back to Esther’s grave.
He removed the stone and climbed downstairs. Two coffins were still closed. Elijah walked to the coffin that stood on the left side of his. He opened it and revealed the body of his oldest brother Finn.
Elijah slowly removed the dagger. While Finn slowly regained his life force, Elijah walked to the only closed coffin left. He opened it and gazed at the undead body...

Elena was lying fast asleep, much to Damon’s relief. Something really wrong was going on out there and Damon dreaded the moment he’d have to tell Elena. She already had so much pain to go through, he didn’t want to make it any worse.
But Damon knew Elena had seen right through him and when she’d open her eyes she’d demand to know what was going on and he wouldn’t be able to lie again.
He took his coffee and brought it to his lips, when he felt a sharp, burning pain in his head. His cup fell on the floor as he moved his hands to his head. He fell on his knees as he screamed.

Bonnie turned to Keith. “Have u ever been in this house before?” Keith nodded heavy. “Okay, find me five candles and something to lit them” Keith ran off to fetch those things and Bonnie walked to the cupboard. She opened the drawers and searched them until she found a piece of paper and a pen.
“What are u up to?” Matt asked both curious and fascinated. While Bonnie wrote something down she explained.
“Months geleden I put a curse on Damon to keep him in check. I could follow his every word and move”
“Yeah, I know”
“It turns out there are some leftovers from that curse”...

Veronica dragged Jeremy downstairs and threw him on the cold floor of a basement. Jeremy screamed and held his leg. As he tried to pull the arrow out, Veronica started pacing up and down.
“You lied to me” she muttered agitated, with a feral look in her eyes. “I asked u straightforward if u were a medium and u lied to me in my face” She walked to Jeremy and looked down on him. “How long has your aunt been spying on me? What does she know?” Jeremy didn’t answer and thus she kicked his wounded leg. Veronica raised her voice above Jeremy’s cries. “How long?” she repeated...

Matt tried to get the front door open, but failed, while Bonnie tried to call someone. When after her sixth attempt no one had picked up, she had to fight the urge to throw her cell into the wall. She turned to Keith. “Can u try the phone, please?” she asked a little irritated. Keith was just sitting there, being useless. Keith stood slowly and walked to the phone. He picked up the horn, but heard nothing. “The phone’s dead” he noted, sounding not very surprised. He walked back to Bonnie. Matt had gone upstairs to see if he could open one of the windows.
“Maybe we should stay...

Though visiting uur was long over, it didn’t stop Stefan from sneaking into Elena’s bedroom. Elena had fallen asleep shortly after Bonnie had left. Stefan had expected Damon to be in the room, but Elena happened to be alone.
Stefan walked to the bed and sank down on it. Elena, sensing his stare, opened her eyes and frowned.
“Stefan?” she asked sleepy.
“It’s okay. Go back to sleep” Stefan hushed, regretting he woke her.
“No” Elena moaned and she sat up difficult. “I’m up” She cast him a faint, tired smile. “I’m glad u came”
“I had to come and see you, but I didn’t...

“How are u holding up?” Bonnie carefully tried to make a conversation. Elena rewarded her with a furious don’t ask stupid vragen look. “You know, I’ve been trying to communicate with the spirits. Maybe I can persuade them to help you”
“No, thank you. I think you’ve done enough already” Elena replied cold.
Bonnie looked down and thought about leaving for a second, but then lectured. No meer running, no meer hiding. It was time to own up to her mistakes.
“Elena” Bonnie started, looking up again. “There’s something I’ve wanted to tell u ever since I was released...

Damon and Elena were lying on the bed, Elena’s head resting on Damon’s chest. “I believe we’ve been here before” Elena mumbled.
“Hmm” Damon confirmed. “Do u remember what u zei back then?”
Elena relegated on the bed and closed her eyes. “I zei I wouldn’t leave you, that I would stay with u until the very end”
“You should know that no matter what happens I’m not leaving you” Damon promised softly. Elena felt a teardrop on her head, but she didn’t look up. “Promise me u won’t either”
“I promise” Elena whispered and she pinched Damon’s hand....

Elijah was looking around in the living room when Damon and Elena came downstairs. They’d hopped in the douche and hadn’t particularly hurried up. No, they hadn’t been doing it, but with Elena not feeling very well, the last thing they wanted was a showdown with a pair of Originals.
When they came downstairs, Katherine was already settled with a blood bag and Elijah checked Damon’s extensive book collection. As soon as Elijah lay eyes on Elena he raised an eyebrow.
“Forgive me for being blunt,” he said. “but u look rather unwell”
“That’s because she saw your face” Damon...

The Grill.
Bonnie was sitting at the bar, gazing at a candle, trying to lit it with a candle.
“What are u doing?” Veronica asked while she dried glasses.
“Nothing” Bonnie zei quick and she looked away from the candle.
“I’ve seen u before. Your Keith’s friend, right?” Veronica acted all innocent. “He told me about you. zei u were such a nice girl. I hate to be the one to bring u the news, but he’s a little messed up in the head, so u might want to keep your distance”

Elijah grabbed Rebekah’s throat as he put himself up.
“Where is Niklaus?” he asked shaking with fury. Rebekah took Elijah’s squeezing hand and pulled it away.
“You’re weak. u need to regain strength” she zei strict and bossy.
“What I need is to find Niklaus and put that dagger in his heart” Elijah objected.
“I’m with Elijah on this one” Katherine zei and Elijah turned his head to her slowly. “Elena?” Katherine shook her head. “Katerina” Elijah realized. “You stand door my sister as she gives me my life back…and yet I don’t see u shiver with fear. Perhaps...
