Wednesday night’s episode of American Idol garnered 1.2 million fewer viewers than it did in the previous week, thus setting another five-year low for the sliding Fox franchise. At first I was surprised that ratings were lower, to be honest, since I figured all the conspiracy theorists would be tuning in to see whether or not Jason Castro was, in fact, headed for the door–until I realized that more and more people are probably getting sick of the filler-packed results shows and are probably just tuning in for the last five minutes.
