The only reason it has decent ratings is becuase it airs in time slots with no competing shows.

I think the Friday slot is a big plus compared to whenever following some Sunday sporting event.

I shouldn't have said it's the only reason. But it is a major factor.

How did TAR do when it was up against Lost?

Also, I'm not saying it wouldntt do well against other shows. My point is that it tends to be scheduled in time slots that don't offer much competition. When you come on at the whim of football games ending times, the start time is different every week. No other programs do that. When that happens, the only people watching are loyal viewers.

I am pretty sure I heard Phil say in the preview to the next season that 5 of the couples would be meeting for the first time, sort of like the ultimate blind date.

This should be interesting, i'm looking forward to it. Sometimes its good to switch it up a bit. And I think they decided to do it if people wanting to be on the show actually write in about it meaning there have been alot of requests to do a spin on the show. We will see how it works out.

I don't remember it going up against Lost. Was that a one time thing? I know it's been almost five years since Lost ended but I don't remember Lost being on Sunday nights. I could have sworn TAR has always been on Sundays till this season. And I remember Lost being on in the middle of the week.

To the best of my recollection, you are right, ouijee. That is how I remember too.

I'm glad someone else remembers the same thing! I was worried there for a second that the old memory was starting to slip.
