OK, so the headline sounds like a 7-year-old boy's taunt, but it's actually less childish and more accurate than you might think. In tonight's premiere of The CW's "The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll" (9 p.m.) -- take a moment to finish panting after reading that long title -- a virus spreads through the ranks of the contestants and viewers are treated to the sight of a young woman doing a full-on hurl into the bushes.

Michael Desmond/The CW Chelsea, Asia, and Melissa S. perform on "Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll."

"Being sick is not an excuse," says taskmaster/Pussycat Dolls creator Robin Antin as the auditions continue, despite the collapsing contestants.

If you're asking yourself, What the heck is a Pussycat Doll? Well, then, you're not in this show's key demo. The Dolls are an ever-expading, ever-contracting group of young women who sing, dance (if by dance you mean, gyrating-style stripper dancing) and dress in as little clothing as possible. They've also sold a ton of CDs with a song that asks, "Don'cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"

Antin has said the group's goal is "female empowerment," but TV critics didn't quite see it that way when they peppered her with questions at a January press conference.

Regardless, the show is another reality competition that looks just like all the others and doesn't offer anything unique beyond the puking.
