As we all know Big Brother is starting up in about two weeks for its first ever winter edition. One thing you may not have realized is that it’s new Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday format puts two out of the three episodes competing directly with American Idol. American Idol has claimed several casualties in it’s seven years of being on the air, Jericho almost being one of them. The ratings that AI pulls away from other shows has crippled networks during this time and that’s why it often has no competition.

Until this winter that is with the special return of Big Brother. Now my worry is that BB will not fair well against the ratings juggernaut of American Idol. I know Big Brother has its fans, and well I’m one of them, but what will happen to those people who MUST see both BB and AI? They will have to choose obviously and for some it may not be too easy. So here is my question to you all. If you are deciding between Big Brother 9 and American Idol on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which will you choose? I’m going for BB all the way, since I don’t watch AI after the auditions anyway but I’m just curious (and hoping) if Big Brother can fair against the all mighty powerhouse that is American Idol.
