Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 7/20/11

WHAT MATTERS:

• Wednesday's top show as usual was America's Got Talent (2.6), but the show remains sharply on the downturn in recent weeks. I'd say the end of accompanying The Voice and the end of the popular audition phase both deserve the blame.

• Big Brother (2.5) only slightly trailed Got Talent, with So You Think You Can Dance (1.9) still bringing up the rear among the Wednesday staples. NBC's Love in the Wild (1.5) remains mediocre but lost just one tick week-to-week despite the big Got Talent drop. Criminal Minds and CSI (each 1.5) led the repeat pack.

Above based on preliminary adults 18-49 ratings unless otherwise noted.
