Image Credit: CBSCBS finished in the top spot Wednesday in adults 18-49 (2.5 rating/7 share) and viewers (8.7 million), thanks to one helluva Survivor episode. More than 12 million people tuned in to see not one, but two wimpy females quit the game with less than two weeks to go (for great insight into the matter, read Jeff Probst’s blog). Irritating. Anyway, the show posted a 3.6/10 in the adult demo, up three percent from its last original on Nov. 17 (last week was a clip show). It was followed by a repeat of Criminal Minds and the Grammy’s Nominations Concert (1.7/5, 5 million people).
Each 18-49 ratings point represents 1.3 million people.
Fox was second in the demo (2.1/6) and third in viewers (5.8 million), with Human Target earning a 1.6/5 and 5.7 million viewers, and Hell’s Kitchen, a 2.6/7 and 5.7 million. NBC was third in the demo (2.0/6) and second in viewers (7.7 million) with an original of the canceled Undercovers earning a 1.3/4 and 4.8 million, followed by Law & Order: SVU (2.5/7, 9.1 million), and Law & Order: L.A. (2.2/6, 9 million).
ABC finished fourth in the demo (1.5/4) and viewers (5.0 million) because it aired repeats of its comedies. That was an original of The Whole Truth, which was canceled, but it only earned a .9/3 and 3.6 million. The CW posted a 1.1/3 among adults 18-49 but tied CBS for the night among teens. It averaged 2.6 million for the night.
NaOnka is the worst person ever! I’m glad she’s gone and I hope CBS stops putting trashy people like her on Survivor! Get better villains!
I don’t see how ratings could go up. This episode is bland and predictable. It was obvious from the second episode that Sash would be in control and make it to the end.
Poor Human Target
Worst season ever? No, wait that would be…
It’s not the worst season, but it’s second behind “China” to the most predicatable. The worst season was “Panama: Exile Island” followed by “Thailand.”
Panama started strong though. When Rupert stole the shoes. And wasn’t Johnny Fairplay in that season??? He was awful, but entertaining. The first season that Boston Rob was on was pretty bad too.
The season where Rupert stole the shoes was “Pearl Islands.”
I never saw Thailand, but in my opinion, Fiji was the worst. Providing one group with luxuries and the other with nothing made for a very dismal and predictable season.
Fiji would definitely be the worst, with close runner up of Thailand.
Human Target was great last night…It really has become one of my fav shows..wish they would do human target and fringe back to back on Friday or wednesday!
You really should have mentioned Dalton Ross’s (again) excellent recap of Survivor:

On a non-Survivor note … only 5-million people watched the ridiculous Grammy Nom. Concert … can we please ditch that pointless & now-annual program?
… and Thailand was by FAR the worst of all 21 seasons, followed by Fiji.
“Fiji” was nowhere near as bad as “Panama: Exile Island” where Aras won.
I don’t even remember Aras. But the season when the used car dealer won was the worst, I think his name was Brian.
Panama wasn’t terrible.. it had Terry who was awesome!
Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across this board and I to find It really helpful & it helped me out much. I am hoping to present something again and aid others such as you helped me.
