Dancing With The Stars Catches Up To American Idol
The ratings are good for both American Idol and Dancing With The Stars, but it's the later that continues to gain ground. Dancing With The Stars could overthrow the titan, American Idol, at least when it comes to performance shows. DWTS results ratings were significantly lower.
"We see a definite increase in betting on Dancing With The Stars," says Payton O'Brien, matriarch of the Gambling911.com website. "Likewise we've witnessed a decrease in American Idol wagering."
The Web traffic has increased for Dancing and decreased for Idol, according to Gambling911.com stats.
Still, American Idol remains atop the ratings race.
1 American Idol - Wednesday - Fox - 23.7 million
2 American Idol - Tuesday - Fox - 21.9 million
3 Dancing With The Stars - Monday - ABC - 21.2 million
14. Dancing With The Stars - Tuesday - ABC - 12.7 million
