Guess what happy? The diaries are how this game is played. If you don't like the diaries...quit playing the game. 8 will not finish ahead of 13 or 10 in the game for the two hours of coverage. There are better singers out there than the 2 finalists in American Idol but guess what? Those two will be the ones to make all the money. Be happy for 8 and their good coverage but don't claim they "won" until they start winning ratings. |

I think we agree in a sense.
Of course it's the people who lie. They don't even LIE really, they just aren't reliable.
My point is that even if 8 was most watched, the diary would not reflect that.
The ice storm of 1991 proved that. 13 was OFF THE AIR but won the bood that day. People just fill in their favorites.
I know diaries are how this game is played which is why in diary markets your actual coverage on any give single day or show isn't as important as overall image, marketing and reputation. You can't win those in one day not even in a two hour coverage so 8 may have been most watched but won't win.
That make sense?
