Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 8/29/12

WHAT MATTERS:

• The late summer remains good to Big Brother, which hit its best Wednesday numbers by a couple tenths this year.

• The Fox News coverage of the Republican National Convention (7.70m, 1.2 A18-49) this time beat all the broadcasters even among 18-49ers. But TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (1.3) came out on top at 10/9c.
