A Healthy Surge For New ‘Food Fighters’
The NBC reality show surged 30% over last week’s debut, the biggest week-to-week growth for any new series this summer. Food averaged a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating at 8 p.m., up from a 1.0 last week. The show finished as the No. 2 program on the night, behind only lead-out America’s Got Talent, which, as usual, dominated its 9 to 11 p.m. timeslot. Talent averaged a 2.4, even to last week, and topped the No. 2 network in its timeslot, ABC, by 140%.
