First "normal" programming week since this edition premiere a month ago, and TAR placed first for the time slot. Wile there's still a preemption week ahead in a month we have basketball overruns ahead the next two weeks with "March Madness" starting (the 21st and the 28th), and the Masters the weekend after that (April 5th).

And not only did we win the hour in those three groups, we also won the half hour in each of them (occasionally one of the Fox animated shows passes us for a half hour), not this week.

Well, the CBS press release does give the final audience numbers for last week, which, IIRC, we didn't get last week.
And the CBS press release on the weekly numbers is out (via The Futon Critic):

We also got DVR results for episode #3. TAR's adult 18-49 rating went from a 3.19 (reported as a 3.2) to a 3.51 a 10% increase. Sorry no viewer data (and wont have it unless CBS puts out a press release for DVR (and even then we not might have enough growth in total viewers to get mentioned (they typical report gains of a million or more).

Do we know how the amazing race usually does? Also is amazing race expensive to produce? Everyone always says how reality tv is cheap to produce but i feel like it would be expensive. How is it compared to like scripted shows like Two and a Half Men and CIS?
