The Question, Sunday 5/12/13: Can the Survivor Finale Claim the Sunday Throne?


As suspected several weeks ago, HBO's Game of Thrones has taken up the "beat every broadcast program" mantle for Sunday cable, pulling off the feat each of the last three weeks. But the bar figures to be at a higher level than usual tonight as the season finale of Survivor heads to the night. Can the Survivor finale claim the Sunday Throne? That's The Question for Sunday, May 12, 2013.

Game of Thrones This Season Survivor This Season
2.4 (3/31/13)
2.3 (4/7/13)
2.4 (4/14/13)
2.6 (4/21/13)
2.8 (4/28/13)
2.9 (5/5/13)
2.4 (premiere, 2/13/13, -23% year-to-year)
2.57 (average to date, -10% year-to-year)
2.7 -> 2.9 -> 2.4 -> 2.6 (last 4 weeks)
2.9 (spring 2012 finale)
3.2 (fall 2012 finale)

Thought about incorporating ABC's Once Upon a Time and Revenge finales too, but this race looked like more of a potential photo finish. I've got both GoT and Survivor right around a 2.9. I give Game of Thrones a tiny edge simply because it's been so hot lately, but it will be tough to continue to pick up steam this week against all the broadcast finale action.

Spread: Game of Thrones beats Survivor (8:00-10:00) by 0.05 points.
