Losing American Idol Love
Are we getting sick of American Idol? There are several things indicating that it’s the case. Even though over 29 million viewers tune in to the show every week this season, industry insiders are pretty concerned about the declines in key demographics and average total viewers. While Simon Cowell says that it’s because the contestants lack personality, the insiders are saying that it may be show fatigue. They say that hit shows, no matter how popular, usually get diminishing ratings somewhere from season 5 to 7. Idol is currently on its 7th season. Are we really over it? Is it time to pull the plug?
