DWTS Beats American Idol in the Ratings

DWTS Beats American Idol in the Ratings

The Los Angeles Times reports that ABC's DWTS trumped FOX's Idol in the ratings over the last two weeks. Since 2004, American Idol has killed in the ratings. But now, it looks like DWTS could steal their crown.

Season 10 of DWTS is off to an amazing start. With such controversial stars as Pamela Anderson and Kate Gosselin, they have pulled in huge audiences. DWTS's average audience the last two weeks has been 23.6 million outdrew Idol's average of 23 million over the same period. This week, Monday's DWTS beat out both the Tuesday and Wednesday Idols.

I wonder if Dancing can keep up these amazing ratings. I know the ModernMom staff will be tuned in to DWTS, but we are a little biased.
