Ratings: America's Got Talent and Big Brother beat Lady Gaga-fueled So You Think You Can Dance

How disappointing! I was hoping for a Lady Gaga and Rob Marshall bump to So You Think You Can Dance and it didn't happen.

America's Got Talent was the #1 show of the night with 2.7 followed by Big Brother at 2.3. Both shows beat SYTYCD which had a 2.0 rating.

Obviously the public is not warming up to the most talented season of SYTYCD on record. I think next season, Nigel Lythgoe should cast less talented dancers on the show. I think that strategy works. Works all the time on American Idol.

From TVbytheNumbers:

America’s Got Talent was steady versus last week with a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating, though that ties its summer low. So You Think You Can Dance was also steady with a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating. Don’t be surprised if both are bumped up another tenth of an 18-49 rating point in the final numbers. Big Brother was down 0.3 from last week to a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating and also tied its summer low, but don’t be surprised if it gains 0.1 of it back in the finals. All three shows were almost mirrors of the equivalent night last summer — America’s Got Talent was up a tenth (4%) and Big Brother and SYTYCD had identical adults 18-49 ratings a year ago.
