When the season of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious began, we were told that the girls were competing for one of three spots on a brand-new all-girl group called Girlicious. Little did we know then that it would be a surprise finale twist that the group would have four members, instead of three. Tiffanie Anderson, 18, of Los Angeles, California; Nichole Cordova, 18, of Houston, Texas; Natalie Mejia, 19, of Diamond Bar, California and Chrystina Sayers, 20, of San Diego, California beat out thousands of girls to become part of Girlicious.

After a season of more than their share of drama, stress and challenges, the final four were all just too good to let anyone go. Here’s the first music video by the new group Girlicious. It’s called Like Me:

The CW just announced that the second season of its series, The Pussycat Girls Present will return on February 18 with Girlicious. This time, they will be putting together a completely new group.

I reported this to you on July 2 right after I got to talk to one of the veteran contestants in The Ultimate Coyote Ugly Contest who also tried out to be on The Pussycat Girls Present: Girlicious, Bri Hatchett. I’m hoping she made it on the show. I guess I’ll have to wait until the premiere to find out.
