So You Think You Can Dance less watched than The Man With The Biggest Testicle

Man with the biggest testiclesTen’s bid to build a bigger audience for So You Think You Can Dance by moving it to the less competitive Thursday night slot did not work out last night, as the flagship shiny floor show finished fourth in its timeslot again with 318,000 viewers.

At 9.30pm Seven showed a repeat of The Man With the Biggest Testicles, about an American man with extreme scrotal elephantiasis who died this week, which got 431,000 metro viewers last night, after it won its timeslot when up against The Bachelor in September.

Ten’s So You Think You Can Dance had 318,000 metro viewers at 7.30pm, failing to pick up more viewers than it had in the competitive Sunday night slot where it debuted to 466,000 and sunk as low as 313,000. Ten had tried moving the show from 6.30pm to 7.30pm in its third week, and then rescheduled it to Thursdays at 7.30pm this week.

However, Seven did not show its regular programming between 6.30pm and 9.30pm as it showed the AFL game between Geelong and Adelaide, dragging the numbers for its evening regular schedule down.
