I have a question for the ratings experts. This link over at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Race_(U.S._TV_series) shows this current season to be the lowest rated Sunday night Amazing Race. Is that correct? TYIA

Caelestor:
Yes, this is the lowest rated Sunday night season. This season has seen a 0.5-0.7 drop in the ratings for some reason, compared to the last. It could be the rapid aging of the Nielsen audience out of the 18-49 demographic, it could be the return of racers that turned off some viewers, who knows?
It'll remain on Sundays unless it dips below a 2.0, upon which it'll be shipped out to Fridays at 8.
