In addition to being last night’s big ticket, yesterday’s meeting between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden was the most-watched VP debate in history. But when divvied up over 11 different outlets, the event technically came behind Survivor in the ratings. For that reason, CBS was a winner with the viewers while NBC was on top with the demos.
8pm
- Survivor: Gabon (12.8 million, 4.3/12 in 18-49) was on par with last week.
- Ugly Betty (8.6 million, 2.5/7) dropped 1.2 million.
- A My Name is Earl block (2.9/8) averaged 7 million.
- Smallville (4 million, 1.6/4) was down a notch.
- Hole in the Wall (3.5 million, 1.5/4) did 700,000 less than Kitchen Nightmares.
