Fox is likely cursing out the Winter Olympics this morning... while giving thanks that it won't need to face that event for another four years.
Likely due to such competition, American Idol suffered through its least popular night of all-time on Thursday.
The reveal of the final 13 netted only 9.2 million viewers and a 2.4 rating among 18-49-year olds.
It was a slow night all around for any non-NBC network, but they (and viewers) can all take solace in a major night of new programming next Thursday...
