Idol is Tanking

All good things come to an end!

According to a new report, last Tuesday night’s American Idol only reeled in 21.25 million viewers — good but not Idol good.

Apparently, the show has not been that ‘low’ since its second season in 2003.

What’s the deal?!

It’s just not been their season!

Dancing with the Stars is creeping up and could take away Idol’s king of the TV jungle crown. Dancing has averaged 21.67 million viewers on Monday nights this season, and the distance between the two appears to be getting smaller.

Fire Paula and shake things up for next season!

This trend (below) needs to end.

Fox must not be pleased!
