Article is missing a key piece of information – in Melbourne, Ten played a 3-hour ep of American Idol from 7.30-10.30pm – surely the low rating is not a surprise? I wouldn’t expect Aussie viewers to tune in to any show for that long.

Terrible programming by Ten. I thought they’d sent someone in to fix all this??
