Amazing Race Season 15 ratings
theschnauzers:
There's one other factor to throw in. Historically, TAR has done better when clocks are on standard time (and sunset is well before air time.) The time change was last night, and it was dark here by 6pm.
There's all sorts of viewing patterns that may come into play. Some folks don't rush to watch the World Series (if they're a couple of innings late they don't care, and TAR will be over by the third inning. So who knows?
georgiapeach:
Bad ratings would be a shame...this was a GREAT episode.
mswood:
Here's hoping that the game becomes more one sided before it hits 8pm tonight as that would also help the show.
TARAsia Fan:
As expected, World Series Game 4 killed the competition getting American Idol numbers, averaging 20 million viewers last night, but Amazing Race held steady. mswood, I think this season is getting a core 10 million viewers each week.
And yeah, it appears Three Rivers is one foot in the grave. The show is pretty much toast.

-Ratings Breakdown:
Fox hit a ratings grand slam on this first Sunday in November care of Game 4 of The World Series. Second-place ABC was down, but not out, with its regularly scheduled combination of America’s Funniest Home Videos, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. Third in both categories was CBS, which has sprung a leak at 9 p.m., followed by a depressed, football-less NBC.
In an all sports night, Fox opened the evening with an approximate half-hour prime-time football overrun at a mammoth 30.57 million viewers and an 11.2 rating/30 share, followed by post game The OT at an also first-place 18.24 million viewers and a 6.5/17 in the demo at 7:30 p.m. Game four of The Baseball World Series averaged an estimated 20.02 million viewers and a 6.9/17 among adults 18-49 from 8-11 p.m., with the dominant half-hour breakdown as follows:
Baseball World Series (Fox)
8:00 p.m. – Viewers: 20.87 million, A18-49: 6.9/17
8:30 p.m. – Viewers: 23.61 million, A18-49: 7.9/19
9:00 p.m. – Viewers: 19.68 million, A18-49: 6.8/16

10:30 p.m. – Viewers: 16.97 million, A18-49: 6.2/17
Results for any live sporting event are, of course, approximate.
