BB is not a winter show and no one was expecting it to bring in good 
ratings. It's job was to help fill the schedule during the writer's strike

and it did a great job of that. If it had been a disaster they would have 
sped up the game immensely and ended the season. It'll be more interesting

to see how BB10 does this summer.
