To put Idol in context, Thursday week 3 last season got 5.5.
So Idol Thursday has only dropped 5% season-to-season, which is lower than broadcast erosion as a whole. Fox will be happy.
@Tom since Ive been reading posts here and there in this site all I see is you bashing B&B is there something you like so you can move on and comment about it.
On the other hand, yes! Im a Beastie and Im doing everything possible and networking everywhere so the show that I LIKE dont get cancelled and some people might not like the show but there are a LOT OF PEOPLE than you imagine that like it, and Im talking not only in the USA but worldwide, cheesy and full of flaws we still like it. Not because we dont have any taste, as I enjoy watching a Thrones episode or a BBC show, I do like BATB and enjoy it. I do love to watch Kristin Kreuk acting, she has captured our hearts (beasties) with her role as Catherine. So be it, I might get replies to my comment but I felt entitled to respond. Thank you and Go Beasties!!!!!
