Survivor opens CBS Wednesdays, while the freshman caper series True Lies closes out the night at 10 pm. Season to date, Survivor has been averaging 4.9 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating (in Live+Same Day numbers), while Lingo has retained barely half of that (2.6 mil/0.4), followed by True Lies‘ 2.8 mil/0.3.

Lingo was recently ordered for a second season, and the remaining four original episodes will be scheduled for next season.
