‘American Idol’, as Usual

The “rocker nurse” Amanda Overmyer was eliminated Wednesday from “American Idol” on Fox, leaving 10 contestants, as the show’s audience of 25.5 million viewers easily outpaced its four network competitors combined in the 9 p.m. time slot, according to Nielsen’s estimates. Fox finished No. 1 in the night’s ratings, leading the 8 o’clock hour among adults 18 to 49 with “The Moment of Truth,” which went head to head with CBS’s “Survivor: Micronesia.” But that long-running CBS reality show drew slightly more total viewers: 11.3 million, compared with 10.7 million for “The Moment of Truth.” CBS finished second on the night but struggled at 9 and 10 with “Big Brother” (6.7 million) followed by a “CSI: NY” rerun (6.2 million). NBC’s “Law & Order” won the 10 o’clock hour (10.5 million), helping NBC finish third over all, just ahead of ABC.
