Last night's season premier of iCarly on Nickelodeon has started an internet craze. At the end of the show a sweepstakes for a chance to win the cool stuff from iCarly's bedroom was announced at www.nick.com/iwin. Teens in love with the "iGot a Hot Room" set should enter the sweepstakes for their chance to own a cool item from Carly's bedroom.

The popularity of the teen program quickly became evident as teens scrambled to enter the sweepstakes to win the fabulous stuff from iCarly's room and the internet site crashed under the heavy traffic. Nickolodian is urging fans to keep trying at www.nick.com/iwin. I got through to the site easily Saturday morning.

In the season opener, "iGot a Hot Room" Carly's brother, Spencer, plans a birthday surprise for her and brings her a gummy bear lamp. The lamp starts her bedroom on fire. Spencer convinces Carly to take a part time job while he and his friends remodel her room.

Nickolodean is offering fans a chance to win some of the cool creations from the remodeled room. Among the prizes offered is the hot gummy bear lamp created with over 10,000 gummy bears. The sweet prizes also include a giant cupcake table, ice cream sandwich shaped bench, and trampoline for jumping into bed. The high tech closet is especially attractive to teen girls. The closet created by Spencer uses a touch pad to select clothes. www.nick.com/iwin has seven sweet items from Carly's room offered as prize sweepstakes.
