Ratings for the ninth episode of "The Amazing race 14" largely held steady, clocking in at a 10.3 million overall viewership with a 3.0 demo rating in the 18-49 age group. Both numbers are down only marginally from the previous week.
While the TAR 14.9 numbers don't look impressive compared to previous episodes, "The Amazing Race" carried the burden last Sunday of attracting demo-friendly viewers to CBS all by itself. Both surrounding Sunday programs fell well below TAR in the age 18-49 rating with the Hallmark movie substituting for the CBS Sunday dramas attracting a mark only half that of Amazing Race.
Despite its extra burden, TAR still beat out the CBS network average in the 18-49 demo. The return of "Cold Case" and "The Unit" should help "The Amazing Race" uptick a tad more for its final few episodes. At this point though, ratings are largely an academic concern with TAR already renewed for a 15th run.
