Ratings: Big Brother beats So You Think You Can Dance

As I predicted, Big Brother out-rated So You Think You Can Dance last night with the season premiere of Season 13.

SYTYCD held steady from last week at 1.6 - which is kinda bad since last week, you could argue that the early holiday weekend caused the slip. Viewers are just not interested in dance this summer unfortunately.

BB13's 2.7 rating is the best premiere for Big Brother since Season 8.

From TVbytheNumbers:

CBS was back in action with new Big Brother and the one hour premiere was enough for CBS to take the night both with adults 18-49 and total viewers, and was the night’s top program by a wide margin. The premiere was up across the board from last year, up 8% in adults 18-49 to a 2.7 rating, up 5% with adults 18-34, up 14% with adults 25-54 and up 5% in total viewers to 7.71 million.

If the ratings hold in the finals, it was the best premiere in households and adults 18-49 since season 8 in 2007; in adults 18-34 since season 7 in 2006 and in both viewers and adults 25-54 since season 6 in 2005.
