Thursday TV Ratings 9/24/26: Tepid Start for American Horror Story 13, The Traitors: New Blood Dips, Big Brother Rises [+ Analysis]

On NBC, The Traitors: New Blood (0.26, -0.02) dipped, and the sinking continued at nine (0.24, -0.02). CBS's Big Brother (0.68) easily rose above Wednesday's installment but was down from last week. On Fox, Hell's Kitchen (0.22) was up 22% from last year's premiere (0.18), but Special Forces (0.14) was down 13% from its year-ago start (0.16). Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat.

Wednesday TV Ratings 9/23/26: Survivor Returns Well Below Season 50 but Ahead of Season 49 Launch, 99 to Beat Premieres Near Series Low, Big Brother and The Voice Dip [+ Analysis]

Survivor (0.78) remained a strong presence on CBS but was down 18% from last season's start (0.95) in the key demographic. At ten, Big Brother (0.53) retained much of that rating. On NBC, The Voice (0.36) cooled down, and America's Got Talent (0.33) closed out its season respectably. Fox's 99 to Beat (0.20) was at the lower-end of its season one delivery in its return. Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.

Tuesday TV Ratings 9/22/26: Doc Returns Up from Finale, Dancing with the Stars Stays Dominant, The Voice Rises [+ Analysis]

On season premiere night, Fox's Doc (0.18) appeared relatively healthy. The medical drama was up slightly from last year's time slot premiere (0.17) and rose from the Best Medicine repeat (0.16) that aired before it. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars (1.35) remained at a towering height, but RJ Decker (0.23) was a diminutive companion. The Voice (0.41) and America's Got Talent (0.33) were both solid on NBC. CBS special Judge Judy: Unfiltered, Unforgettable (0.14) was only a few ticks above the CW's WWE NXT (0.09). Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat.
