American Idol’s 2010 adults 18-49 ratings duel with the Winter Olympics ended with another Idol win, with the next rematch (presumably) in four more years.
Head to head from 8-9pm American Idol topped the Winter Olympics with adults 18-49 with a 6.4 rating to a 4.4 rating. No other Thursday Idols to compare with this season, but on a season to date basis American Idol is down just 7%. Following Idol, Kitchen Nightmares 3.5 adults 18-49 rating was its second highest rating ever.
The Winter Olympics 5.8 adults 18-49 rating Thursday night was down 17% from last Thursday’s Olympics telecast and down 28% from the same Thursday of the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics.
Survivor: Heroes v. Villains slipped 5% from last week to a 3.7 adults 18-49 rating.
ABC’s The Deep End sputtered to a season ending 1.1 adults 18-49 rating.
