Lost ratings down because of Idol

Last week's American Idol results show got over 25 million viewers. Meanwhile, over on ABC, Lost (an original episode, mind you) got only 15 million viewers. It was not only the lowest-rated new ep of the year, but it was down 28% from the average ratings for the season.

So, is this just a matter of American Idol being the juggernaut that it is, or is this a signal that Lost fans are getting impatient, frustrated, or (dare I say) bored?
