Its ratings were sliding. As crazy as it seems to say it, seems like Hole in the Wall may fare better against Survivor than MOT. Survivor *still* is likely to dominate the timeslot but I don't blame FOX for rolling the dice to see what happens. TVa, I agree. Its ratings were sliding.

I think FOX had second thoughts about using Moment of Truth this fall after it performed rather poorly this summer.

FOX duplicated ABC's "Wife Swap" with "Trading Spouses" and duplicated NBC's "Singing Bee" with "Don't Forget the Lyrics". The network relies on other network's ideas and of course "American Idol".
