DWTS 12 – Dancing With The Stars #1 In TV Ratings
Below are the TV Ratings for April 25th – May 1st. Check it out. Last Monday night’s show beat out American Idol for the first time this Season and topped out in first place. The Dancing With The Stars “Special” did well too placed at #6. For those thinking this show is on it’s last legs, think again! 😀 (Heidi’s note: I promise I am going to do a ratings post, but my recollection is that these numbers are standard for DWTS, it’s that AI is a tad on the low side – by 1 or 2 million. The question for our other blog is, with AI and The Voice both doing well, what will happen with The X-Factor?)

Of course DWTS is number one. Its makes for great TV. I cant get into American Idol this year, its just bleh to me.
Did anyone check out The Voice? Its on during Tuesday night results show. I have been catching it online and I love it. The judges are so different musically, but they are so entertaining and funny. I like how they tweet during the show about their teams. Im excited to see how this plays out.
@Sandy – I watched the premiere of “The Voice” on E! Entertainment last Saturday afternoon and loved it. Also enjoy the diversity of the judges.
It should be very interesting what happens with “X-Factor” when it premieres this fall.
Good question Heidi! I think X Faxtor is still going to do well as long as it airs in a different season than AI (which it is). The big pull is SIMON. He’s still popular here and people miss him.
@Vogue – Silly question here….. I just found out about the XFactor blog and I was wondering What other blogs are there? I love PUREdwts and all the great information provided by everyone on here and I would love links to the others. Thanks.
Sandy, thanks!! Here are all the links to the “Pure” blogs. I hope I’m not missing any.

Wow, Donnie must have quite the fan base – all these people tuned in to see him as the fourth judge – or were just mesmerized by his super white teeth and were unable to change the channel….
Go DWTS!!
