Ratings: The X Factor and Criminal Minds lead Wednesday

The X Factor continued to be "steady" this week with a 3.4 rating tying Criminal Minds for the top spot on Wednesday. For a new show this is really good. Though American Idol has a better rating and more viewers, it experiences a significant dip during the weeks leading to the finale. We are not seeing it here with The X Factor.

Survivor had a 3.1 rating. The rest of the numbers:

From TVbytheNumbers:

With an all-new line-up, CBS won the night with adults 18-49 and total viewers. At 8pm the last Wednesday Survivor of this cycle (finale is on Sunday) drew a 3.1 adults 18-49 rating, down two tenths from last week, tying its season low. Criminal Minds' 3.4 adults 18-49 rating was steady versus last week, but still tied its season low. No new Law & Order: SVU was good news for CSI and its 3.0 rating with adults 18-49 was up half a point vs. last week. That was CSI's best with 18-49 since week two of the season and its 12.74m viewers were the most since the premiere.

Fox's The X Factor was steady versus last week with a 3.4 adults 18-49 rating with adults 18-49. I Hate My Teenage Daughter sank closer towards cancellation oblivion dropping two tenths to a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating.
