POSTED AUGUST 23, 2006
In the U.S., the final performance show of America's
Got Talent and
the finale of So You Think You Can Dance went head-to-head.
Talent edged
out Dance in the States, but in this country,
since CTV simulcasts both shows, the competition was avoided.
As a result, Dance's finale topped both final episodes of Talent—even
against strong competition with Global's Rock Star: Supernova.
Though both
Dance and Talent performed
well—and a lead-in of Canada's regularly top-rated show C.S.I. notably
bolstered Talent— it wasn't
strong enough to beat Canadian Idol.
Idol's audience
has now grown to over 2.2 million as the show
begins to near its mid-September finale.
Here are the top 10 programs for the week of August 14-20, 2006:
