Ratings: Bigger Brother, Hot Flashpoint and More

Big Brother by Sonja Flemming/CBS
Thursday's ratings highlights:
" The penultimate installment of
Big Brother 10 delivered 7.93 million total viewers, a week-to-week gain of 24 percent.
" An audience of 5.37 million squeezed
Hole in the Wall into their schedule, a slight improvement on the gamer's most recent sneak peek.
"
Kitchen Nightmares' regular time-period premiere ruled the 9 pm demos and trailed only a
CSI repeat in total viewers (with 6.14 million).
"
Flashpoint, long-benched by this convention and that one, returned to an audience of 8.55 million - an 18 percent increase over its previous outing and a series high.
Next week:
Smallville and
Supernatural return to the mix. (I just got the
SPN premiere, cannot wait to pop it in!) -
