Uhm, David, this is fucking bingo being shown in prime time, and the rating sucked. I think this is a clear case that sometimes, the ratings are spot on.

Oh I love this show almost as much as the Rock, Paper Scissors, Championship!

I don't think the ratings for this matter nearly as much as with other shows. You have to look at the actual value the sponsors get out of it. And I don't mean the :30 spots, I'm talking about KMart, Quiznos, and all the other prize sponsors. Ever notice how many times their logos are onscreen during one game? How many times the host mentions KMart, how many times they roll that little clip of happy people at KMart? Not to mention the fact that if you're like me (and I know there's some of you out there) you printed out a half dozen sets of cards, each with more sponsor logos. The number of 'impressions' the sponsors get has to beat even Coke and Ford on Idol, and that's where they get the value. They can mention them a hundred times, and you're not skipping past those mentions, 'cause you might miss the ball you need.

Further proving that TV rating system is a joke.
