We’re not surprised!
According to Nielsen ratings, American Idol took in about 24 million viewers, whereas the 2010 Winter Olympics garnered only a bit over 20 million. The competition show took the gold by a 16% lead!
Although both programs did take a hit! Idol usually averages an audience of 28 million and the Olympics are bringing in about 25 million.
Wowsa!
Guess no one was watching Lost!
