I found this on the Web but I couldn't add it in the links. Here's a copy of the article:

“Criminal Minds” drew 14.6 million viewers, the biggest audience Wednesday, and led CBS to victory, according to updated ratings released this afternoon.

“Minds” said farewell to A.J. Cook, who played J.J. But what will J.J.’s departure mean to the series in the long run?

There was some good news for NBC: The series premiere of “Law & Order: Los Angeles” drew 10.6 million viewers and won the hour. CBS’ “The Defenders,” a new drama with Jim Belushi, placed second with 10.4 million. ABC’s “Whole Truth” — which is in trouble — had just 4.6 million viewers.

At 8, CBS was way out in front with “Survivor” pulling in 12.3 million. Did Jeff Probst seem sad to say goodbye to Jimmy Johnson? “The Middle” on ABC entertained 8.4 million, then the audience drooped to nearly 7 million for the new “Better With You.” NBC’s new “Undercovers” was diverting for 7.2 million. Fox averaged 6.3 million for two hours of “Hell’s Kitchen.” “America’s Next Top Model” on The CW drew 2.9 million.

Shelby Merrick

At age 14, Shelby ran away from home because of her stepfather who sexually abused her for years. Her mother was in denial, but Shelby believed that if she ran away and kept his secret, her stepfather would leave her little sister Jess alone. On the streets, Shelby became a prostitute and started using drugs. After a year, Shelby located her natural father in Los Angeles, but despite his good intentions, he could neither control his daughter nor help her with her emotional problems. Thus he made a deal with juvenile authorities that allowed her to go Horizon rather than Juvenile Hall. During the course of the show she falls deeply in love with Scott Barringer. Later, Shelby returns home after her stepfather has had a heart attack. She discovers that her stepfather had broken his promise and abused her teenage sister Jess. When Shelby calls the cops, her mother, not wanting her daughters taken from her, finally reveals the truth, and the stepfather is taken into custody. Shelby is return to Horizon.

Here are some random AJ Cook quotes!!!

"I have some amazing fans! They're just so dedicated and so nice and so sweet. I'm like NO ONE and I'm just starting out and these people appreciate your work and it's nice to hear that." A.J. on her fans

"She's just her own person, doesn't care what she wears. She just is who she is. I think it's great when people show that they are just themselves." A.J. Cook adds, "She is so not the pop princess. She has got a totally different image." A.J. on Avril Lavigne

"There are so many neat moments captured in the film that are so true to life. I think that’s why we get a lot of laughs. I’ve been in the theater with normal, everyday people and I just love hearing where they laugh and where we get responses, and that’s what I think is so great about it. It’s so true to life. Everyone remembers being at someone’s party, sitting on the couch, drinking punch, staring at the boy you like and not knowing if you should ask him to dance. Everyone can relate to that. Everyone remembers." AJ on The Virgin Suicides
