BIG BROTHER 11!!
Love the fact that BB is at the top… but seriously people are on the Deal or no Deal site when the show is nonexistent except in syndication? Its not that great of a site…
In a rain forest of trivial statistics,this one somehow stands out.
Not only is The Secret Life doing good in the ratings, it’s doing good on the web.
