ACE IN THE HOLE

Ace Young, American Idol
(
I'm simply cutting-n-pasting yesterday's ratings blurb, updating where needed.) Nearly 31.5 million total viewers tuned in for Wednesday night's "men second" round of
American Idol semifinalists, more than doubling the first two hours of NBC's prime-time Olympics coverage, which averaged 14.8 mil viewers. (On a side note,
Paula looked
sssmokin'.) However, once
Ryan reminded us of the text-voting process a 146th and final time and
Idol had bowed out for the night, the Winter Games surged in the 10 o'clock hour with 16.9 million viewers. Tonight, it's the results show versus women's parallel giant-slalom snowboarding. And
Survivor. And
Dancing with the Stars.
And a
Love, Inc. repeat.
