We each think that the CW might cancel bothThe Carrie Diaries and Beauty & The Beast. But if the CW cancels only one, the bear now thinks it will be The Carrie Diaries. After four weeks of 0.4 adults 18-49 ratings, its now predicted as "likely to be canceled".

Its ratings are dreadful, even for the CW.
