CTD's Rachael Ray rallied 8% to a 1.4. NBCU's Jerry Springer remained at a 1.3. SPT's Queen Latifah, which is ending its run, added 9% to a new season high 1.2 and improved 9% from last year at this time. CTD's The Doctors was steady at a 1.0, as was Meredith's The Better Show at a 0.2.
CTD's Hot Bench led the rookies, with a 13% gain in households to a 1.7, the show's best week yet, up 31% from September and its fourth new high in the eight weeks since the show premiered. Among women 25-54, Hot Bench was steady at a 0.8 and finished in a first-place tie with Warner Bros.' panel talker, The Real, which improved 14% in the demo.
NBCU's Meredith Vieira, which will return next season, held at a 1.2, tying Debmar-Mercury's Celebrity Name Game, which was unchanged. The Real remained at a 1.0 in households for the seventh consecutive week. Trifecta's Judge Faith rebounded 17% to a 0.7 in households.

MGM's video variety show RightThisMinute was unchanged at its season high 1.7.
In access, magazines were mixed coming off a strong prior week. CTD's Entertainment Tonight dipped 3% from its previous week's season high to a 3.5. CTD's Inside Edition retreated 3% to a 3.1. Warner Bros.' TMZ added 5% to a 2.0. NBCU's Access Hollywood slipped 6% to a 1.7. Warner Bros.' Extra held steady at a 1.5. CTD's The Insider was off 8% to a 1.2. Twentieth's Dish Nation dropped 9% for the week to a 1.0, even year to year, while Trifecta's OK! TV was unchanged for the week at a 0.2.
All of the top three game shows hit new season highs. Wheel of Fortune gained 3% for the week to the aforementioned 7.4, down 1% from last year.
