"Big Lill" survives first episode
Cincinnati's favorite Scoutmaster draws big ratings
Survivor contestant Lillian "Big Lill" Morris drew big ratings in Cincinnati for the Thursday premiere of CBS' Survivor: Pearl Islands.
Cincinnati maintained its record as CBS' No. 1 Survivor market by doubling the national average. Channel 12's telecast averaged a 27.6 rating (235,759 homes) and 40 percent audience share, while the show drew only a 13.8 rating and 21 percent audience share in the other markets with overnight Nielsen meters, according to information provided by CBS.
Having the Deerfield Township Boy Scoutmaster on Survivor 7 increased ratings by 15 percent over the 23.9 rating here for the Survivor: The Amazon premiere in February, CBS says.
Cincinnati has been CBS' top Survivor market since January 2001 for the second installment, Survivor: The Australian Outback, with Grant County High School teacher Rodger Bingham, the only other Tristate participant to compete on the show. The premiere for Bingham's Survivor 2 drew a 28.7 rating here.
CBS will repeat the 90-minute Survivor: Pearl Islands premiere at 9:30 p.m. Sunday (Channels 12, 7).
