As the season finale of American Idol approaches, it can be expected that more and more people will be tuning in to cheer for their bets. It is not surprising then that the show has the most number of viewers according to Nielsen. But what’s surprising is that there are fewer viewers this year compared to last year. Yes, 22 million households tuned in on Wednesday but it is the lowest number of viewers ever for American Idol. This cause is unknown to me but expect FOX to make some adjustments to attract more viewers in the future.
