Mathematically not possible for 7 to make up that % in 1 week so unless there is a miracle 9 should win and good luck to them.

Just remember… this entire report for TV ratings is based off a sample size somehow representative of the entire population, then total numbers are extrapolated with the assumption the rest of the country is a model of the tiny ass sample size.What a crazy, crazy world we live in.
