From eonline.com (http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,20026,00.html):
Survivor: Cook Islands, the 13th edition of the reality show, was by no means a bust--not with 18 million people, pundits and op-ed columnists tuning in Thursday night.
CBS was quick to note the premiere "delivered the largest audience and highest ratings in key demographics for a Survivor episode since last February."
CBS was not quick to note the 18 million is, by a narrow margin, the shallowest audience pool for any Survivor premiere since the very first episode of the very first season, back in summer 2000.
Survivor is coming off its two lowest-rated competitions ever, Guatamala and Panama--Exile Island--low-rated being a relative term for the reality standard-bearer. (Last season, Guatamala finished in the Top 10; Panama--Exile Island just missed the cut.)
Apparently, not even the allure of the race card could rescue the new Survivor from less than perfect ratings...
