Here are the weekly ratings, by number of viewers.
American Idol gets three spots this week. You know what FOX should do? Just spread out Idol over seven nights. Why not? Some episodes wouldn't be as highly-rated as others, but you know fans would tune in. They can have four performance shows and three results shows. Ryan Seacrest can drag out the results over a few nights. This will make sure that Idol takes up seven spots in the weekly top 20 and also make sure the shows that follow all get high ratings too.

You are joking, right? While that might be a good business move, tell me that you actually don't want that to happen, as someone that cares about the future of TV??
