Ratings for the MSQ Finale: 1.3 in the demo, 4.95M total viewers. This was good for third place among broadcast programs (behind X-Factor and a Big Bang rerun), and no doubt behind the NFL game, and maybe also behind Project Runway?).
That is up from 1.1 the previous Thursday (about an 18% increase), so some did come back to see who would win, but must still qualify as a disappointment, though these ratings are probably better than whatever NBC had on at the same time last year. I took the whole ride, but never did fall in love. I might be interested to see how they would tweek it if they were to do it again. It is not so much that the structure is too complicated, as that it is not very compelling. And the difficulty level of the questions seemed to me to be easy enough that luck, rather than knowledge would be the final determiner. I think this turned out to be true in the actual final match, but I give them credit for apparently identifying the two strongest players in the Finale. I wonder if they were expecting more conflict and drama in the winners row, where instead they got a lot of solidarity and group identity. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
