The San Diego auditions of âAmerican Idol,â with the usual mixture of the talented and the cringe-worthy, attracted 29.1 million viewers on Tuesday, lifting Fox with ease into first place in the nightâs ratings, Nielsen estimated. Although the showâs third installment is down 4.6 million from the same night a year ago, it still had more than double the audience of any other network broadcast. Foxâs rerun of âHouseâ came closest, leading the 9 oâclock hour after âAmerican Idolâ with 14 million viewers. NBCâs âBiggest Loser,â meanwhile, trailed both programs as runner-up during 8 to 10 p.m. among adults 18 to 49, averaging a modest 8.9 million viewers. NBC ranked second for the night, leading at 10 with âLaw & Order: Special Victims Unitâ (13 million). CBS was third, and ABC finished fourth.
