| The Voice In Recent Weeks | The Voice Finale Last Season |
| 3.9 (Monday 12/3/12, +3% year-to-year) 3.5 (Tuesday 12/4/12, +3%) 3.8 (Monday 12/10/12, +9%) 3.6 (Tuesday 12/11/12, +16%) 4.1 (prelim Mon 12/17/12, +8%) | 4.4 (Tuesday 5/8/12) +42% vs. penultimate Tuesday airing (3.1) +16% vs. final Monday airing (3.8) |
Maybe I should just follow the last few year-to-year trends and assume it'll be up 10% year-to-year or something and hit a 4.8 or 4.9. For some reason, getting that high just feels a little extreme. Perhaps it's because this season was never massive-rated at the beginning, so there's not some huge bloc of fans that could potentially come back. To take the same kind of jump, it'd have to be at pretty much season high ratings. It'll certainly be up from the recent upper-3's level, but I'm saying it's up just around 5% vs. last year's 4.4 finale.
Over/Under (from 9:00 to 11:00): 4.65.
Side bet (though it won't count in any official capacity): how many times between now and the next Voice premiere will an NBC entertainment series get even half of tonight's Voice rating...?

Under.
Side bet: once. I don't know what that one thing will be, but I'm just thinking optimistically.
Under 4.6
Side Bet: 0 Times (they have no show that is not a Voice lead-out that can do it)
Under. And No, unless for some special programming
I'll say under at 4.5. Still a very solid end to a very solid season.
Side bet: Well half would be 2.25, so round that up to 2.3. I would say maybe the premiere of Biggest Loser...maybe. As for anything else...uhhhh...Revolution's after...Office finale's after...I'll get back to you on that.
Under.
New drama? Nah. TBL or Apprentice? Unlikely. Smash or one of the comedies without a massive lead-in? No. I say zero times to the side bet.
I think under is the safe way to roll on this one.
Under. I say 1 Office episode, though that's a pretty risky take.
Under.
Uh, how did you do italics? I still have no idea how to work Disqus beyond the basics...
Under.
Side bet: Perhaps one show. For NBC's sake, I hope it's one of their midseason dramas.
same as html

My take on the side bet: I think the only two with a real shot are the Biggest Loser and Apprentice premieres, but they're both longshots. It's also remotely possible some big Office stunt or maybe one of the drama premieres could sneak in there.
If the over/under was 0.5 times, I would slightly lean under, but adding all of those up I think it's close to 50% that SOMETHING does it. Just don't know which.
Oh, so it's pretty much exactly the same as TV By The Numbers. That makes it easy - I'm already fluent in that code.
