Fox won the battle of the reality/game shows Wednesday night. With the Big Four networks and The CW going unscripted in the 8 p.m.-9 p.m. hour, Moment of Truth won out with a 4.1 rating/12 share in the 18-49 demo, topping Deal or No Deal (2.5/7) on NBC, Wife Swap on ABC (2.4/7) and The CW’s America's Next Top Model and CBS’ Big Brother, which tied for fourth with a 1.8/5 -- a solid rating for The CW but not much production out of the CBS veteran.
Fox won the night with a 7.1/19 in the demo on the strength of its American Idol vote-off show (10.1/25).
On the night, NBC was second with a 2.6/7 thanks to Law & Order at 10 p.m. (2.6/7). ABC was third with a 2.1/6 led by Wife Swap.
CBS could only muster a 1.8/5, unable to reach a 2 rating in any hour of primetime, although Criminal Minds did reach a 2/5 in its first half-hour from 9 p.m.-9:30 p.m.
The CW had a good outing, averaging a 1.3/4 thanks to Top Model.
