'Victoria's Secret' gains
Annual CBS fashion show draws 7.4 million viewers

After years of viewership declines, the annual “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” finally saw its numbers rise.
The CBS program averaged 7.4 million total viewers last night at 10 p.m., according to Nielsen overnights, finishing third in its timeslot but up 9 percent over last year’s 6.8 million.
That marks the first time in the show’s six-year history that viewership has increased year to year. “Victoria’s” debuted on ABC in 2001 with 12.4 million viewers.
It moved to CBS the next year, following loads of indecency complaints to the Federal Communications Commission that spooked ABC, and fell to 10.5 million.
The numbers had dwindled since then, and in 2004 the show did not even air following the indecency outcry prompted by Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl breast exposure. The program returned in 2005.
Last night’s show may have gotten a boost from something other than the scantily clad models. The newly reunited Spice Girls performed, an appearance that garnered loads of pre-show publicity.
“Victoria’s” was, however, down slightly from last year among adults 18-49, slipping from a 2.8 to a 2.6, though it was second in the timeslot.
CBS and NBC tied for first among viewers 18-49 on Tuesday night, each with a 3.5 average overnight rating and a 9 share. Fox was third at 3.0/8, ABC fourth at 2.2/6, Univision fifth at 1.5/4 and CW sixth at 1.2/3.
At 8 p.m. CBS led with a 5.1 for “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” followed by NBC with a 2.6 for its first hour of “The Biggest Loser.” Fox was third with a 2.4 for a repeat of “Bones,” ABC fourth with a 2.1 for a repeat of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” Univision fifth with a 1.5 for “Amar sin Limites” and CW sixth with a 1.2 for “Beauty and the Geek.”
NBC took the lead at 9 p.m. with a 3.8 for the second half of “Biggest Loser,” with Fox second with a 3.7 for a “House” repeat. CBS was third with a 2.8 for a repeat of “NCIS,” ABC fourth with a 2.3 for a “Grey’s Anatomy” rerun, Univision fifth with a 1.6 for “Pasion” and CW sixth with a 1.2 for “Reaper,” which drew its best 18-34 rating, a 1.3, since October.
At 10 p.m. NBC was first with a 4.0 for “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” while CBS moved to second with a 2.6 for “Victoria’s.” ABC was third with a 2.2 for “Boston Legal” and Univision fourth with a 1.6 for “Cristina.”
Among households, CBS was first for the night with a 6.7 average overnight rating and an 11 share. NBC was second at 6.2/10, Fox third at 6.0/9, ABC fourth at 5.0/8, Univision fifth at 1.9/3 and CW sixth at 1.7/3.

Yay, excellent news!

The other day I was reading those stats on wikipedia

Yay, excellent news!
^I don't get it^
^I don't get it^
can't u let a man dream? 
For me, the best part was when she said she can give now her family everything they wanted and the could not have it. I just love her hart, she is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
did you ever think maybe she already does? i know its not just money and im sure she does, but maybe in a money way they grew up very poor and stuff..
whatever idc i dont want to argue about this.
I Love Adriana ^-^
Shes got an orphanage for kids so that shows she's got a heart for serving the needy. She rules.
Lol...giving money to your family on the sole basis of them being your family? How very primitive and cliché. Not a display of "heart", but a display of naivety and rashness. Wish people would smarten up and realize that there are far more important factors of deserving than bloodline. Can't wait for intellectuals to rule the world.
well did you think its not only blood relationship,they support her and she loves them.I would give my family everything but not because we are the same blood.Intellectuals are not neccessary cruel
Adriana works for charities. She has a good heart.
God, that is the stupidest thing I have ever read. Just imagine, you make millions, and you do not give your family anything, I would be the crulest thing on the planet. I know that I am young and everything, but I would give my life for my brother, and my family, so I perfectly understand why Adriana said that, and I know you guys would do the same damn thing. Oh, and let me just say one more thing, if anybody doesn't like what Adriana says in interviews than this is not the place for them, of course anybody is welcome, but haters, nooooo!
Its so funny things people can think of to judge Adriana
First her virginity, then her weight gain, after that her face shape, its so
ridiculous how much people judge others these days.
I actually understand what Adriana was trying to say and that
was if her family is happy and have everything they need then she's happy.
Adriana has donated money from her own pockets to orphanage for kids in
Brazil and who does that?
There is very little amount of people who are as kind hearted
like Adriana.
So you can judge her about her weight, her face, everything but
we all know its not true
Thank you!
