TV Ratings: FOX's Unstoppable Reality

Almost 90% of viewers who tuned in to see if this year's Annual-Dirty-Past-Scandal contestant Antonella Barba gets cut out of FOX's reality contest or not remained glued to FOX at 9pm to watch yet another installment of the latest game show craze "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"

"American Idol" reigned supreme at 8pm with 27,14 million total viewers, followed by "Grader" at 9pm whose third episode beat out repeats of "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC (10,47 million) and "CSI" (15,72 million) on CBS.

Although the medical drama's recent sweeps stunt has been superior to the procedural, CSI's self-contained episodes obviously repeat better than "Grey's".

Earlier in the evening filled with repeats, CBS's veteran reality franchise "Survivor" was in a very respectable second position at 8pm with almost 15 million viewers who tuned in to see Liliana go home.
