Ratings: American Idol on Top Again on Tuesday

From TVbytheNumbers:

American Idol steamrolled the competition in its hour, it was down 5% in adults 18-49 ratings vs. last Tuesday’s 2 hour telecast, but equal to its ratings on the comparable night last season. Idol haters keeping track at home can note the show’s down just 5% in adults 18-49 this season so far. I’m surprised by the relatively strong performance of the Glee repeat that followed Idol. I think that set up is going to produce huge ratings for the new episodes.

Lost recovered a tick in the adults 18-49 ratings from last week.

I love how TVbytheNumbers always notes about the "Idol haters". Last night I found great irony at people who write American Idol recaps and all they write is that it is awful. The sad thing is if you call them masochists in front of their face, they'll call you the hater. At the end of this season, they will love every Idol who made it to the Finale, interview them, etc. -- which makes me sick right now because all they have is hatred for this show that they are "covering".
