Tuesday night had the second showdown between Dancing with the Stars and The Voice and the results were the same as Monday: a total viewers win for Dancing and demo win for The Voice with both possibly hurting each other a little bit. Dancing with the Stars was up a bit from its finale last fall so that's a good thing since it was facing The Voice. It's been a rebound spring for Dancing. It was not as much of a good season for The Voice as it was down seven tenths in the demo from its fall finale. Overall, The Voice had a pretty down spring but it often got overlooked because the raw numbers were still quite good. CBS misfired with Judge Judy and ACM specials while FOX had embarrassing numbers. The performance finale night of American Idol was largely ignored as it lost to a recap of The Voice and tied a recap of Dancing in the same hour. Then, there was absolutely zero interest in I Wanna Marry "Harry." It's gonna be ugly for FOX next week when that show is paired with fellow mega-flop Riot.
