My take on last week's ratings

[based on the BBM ratings from Sep. 3-9]

Taking the top two spots in the ratings chart this time was Canadian Idol. Its performance show garnered over 2 million viewers and its results show attracted 1.9 million viewers. I watched both and was extremely disappointed when Carly Rae Jepsen was eliminated from the competition (why oh why oh why didn't Jaydee Bixbee get the boot!?). Now moving on before I go on a tirade against teenage girls who vote with their eyes and not their ears...

In third spot with 1.4 million viewers was C.S.I. Miami. I hate hate hate this show and have given up trying to figure out why people watch it. Now, moving on again before I go on a tirade against people who watch C.S.I...

In fourth spot was Criminal Minds. I can't say I approve. I've never watched the show and there's not very much likelihood that I'll decide to check it out on a lark in the future.

With 1.35 million viewers, the fifth spot goes to the CTV Evening News. I get it, people watch the news because they want to stay informed. I myself watch the news, though not CTV as I prefer CBC Newsworld.

I am infuriated that Big Brother got the sixth, seventh and eighth spots (it aired on three different nights). I still cannot figure out what all 1.3 million viewers see in the show. My brother loves the show, but let's move on before I go on a tirade against my brother...

Law & Order: SVU got the ninth spot. 1. 2 million viewers tuned in. I am not a Law & Order viewer myself. I find Law & Order an okay show, albeit not my type to watch so I steer clear.

At long last, Criminal Minds gets the tenth spot with just under one million people who watched it. Good for them.
