So You Think You Can Dance weakened slightly vs. last week, but it was still plenty strong enough to win the night going away for Fox in both viewers with 8.38 million [vs. CBS with 7.44 million] and demo adults 18-49 with a 2.9 rating / 9 share [vs. CBS with a 1.8/6].
Big Brother showed about a 10% improvement vs. last week in both viewers and demo adults, good news for CBS. Sadly for NBC, Baby Borrowers [at 9pm] continued to fall, down about 20% from last week. At a 2.0 demo rating, it’s still a win for NBC, but it is descending towards Loserville. Primetime: Crime improved on last week’s demo rating by a tick and is likely a nice demo/$ summer show for ABC.
