It was quite a night TruBlu! I don't think I realized it until I saw your list. That's a lot of stuff happening in an hour. Naj- I just realized that I didn't really answer your question about the total viewership (smacks hand on head).  I'm sorry. I heard that about 20-25 million people watched the finale to Survivor, but I'm not sure how to calculate that from the numbers they give us. |

Hi TV, I just heard yesterday that the show had 30 million viewers. Don't know how they figure that over a three hour period. I was thinking it would have had more but it didn't. ~Naj  |

Me too! I thought it used to get like 35-40 million. I guess interest in the show is waning. Maybe a lot of people taped it and watched Harry Potter? Interesting.

Survivor, I thought used to get in the much higher. Here's the stats on how it fared in the finale: news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040510/tv_nm/television_ratings_dc_3By Cynthia Littleton LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Survivor: All-Stars" went out with more than 24 million viewers and an interactive twist Sunday as its two-hour finale gave CBS the nightlong win by a wide margin. The 8-10 p.m. closer saw 25-year-old Amber Brkich crowned the winner of the show's first all-star edition. In classic sweeps tradition, CBS also found a way to squeeze another hour of its golden unscripted franchise by asking fans to vote during the next four days for a $1 million second-place winner who will be revealed Thursday in a live "Survivor" telecast. A matchmaking element was also included as Brkich received, and accepted, a marriage proposal from fellow contestant and runner-up Rob Mariano. Sunday's finale brought in 24.1 million viewers and 9.6 rating/25 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. That's a 17% bounce from the series' adults 18-49 season average (8.2/22) in the Thursday 8 p.m. time slot but nowhere near the 50 million viewer-plus event-status of the first "Survivor" finale in August 2000. At 10 p.m., however, CBS had very strong numbers from the "All-Stars" reunion special (25 million, 10.9/27), which held virtually all of its lead-in. ABC did only so-so business with its 7-11 p.m. telecast of the 2000 theatrical "Harry Potter (news - web sites) and the Sorcerer's Stone," which averaged 11.1 million viewers and 3.8/10 in adults 18-49. Not surprisingly, "Harry Potter" did its best numbers in the teen demo, where it averaged a 20 share. The competition from the family-friendly "Survivor" finale didn't help the young wizard's broadcast TV debut; "Harry Potter" peaked in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour with 12.5 million viewers and 4.5/10 in adults 18-49. ABC paid around $70 million in December 2001 for the broadcast and cable TV rights to the first two "Harry Potter" features. Still, the "Survivor"/"Harry Potter" combo on CBS and ABC was enough to flatten the competition on NBC and Fox. NBC's usually dominant "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" (11.2 million, 3.3/8) and "Crossing Jordan" (11.8 million, 3.8/10) were well off their game. Fox's 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. tentpoles "The Simpsons" (6.2 million, 2.9/9) and "Malcolm in the Middle" (5.9 million, 2.6/6) flirted with record-low Nielsen benchmarks for original episodes. For the night, CBS lapped the field with an average of 21.1 million viewers and 8.1/22 in adults 18-49. Reuters/Hollywood Reporter ~Naj |

I'm guessing it's Rupert too! He seems to be a sentimental favorite. There were other categories to vote a survivor for on the cbs site.
You can still vote until midnight tonight!

POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR TOMORROW'S ONE MILLION!
Don't highlight if you don't want to know:
********************************************
E! News that the results should go something like this.
Jeff will have the voting jar with him. He will pull out the names of the Survivors in order from lowest total votes to greatest total votes. So everyone will know exactly where they fall. When it gets down to the final two, the name on the last vote will annouce the winner of the bonus million. The actual eliminations might go on throughout the show.

I'm sorry. I heard that about 20-25 million people watched the finale to Survivor, but I'm not sure how to calculate that from the numbers they give us.
