oly cow, I never expected Vampire Diaries to pull those kinds of numbers!
Ah, vampires. I think you underestimate the Twilight connection...every teenage girl I know was planning on watching this series, since they were hoping for a small-screen Twilight. Plus LJ Smith has her own group of dedicated followers, who were probably hoping for a true-to-the-book series.
Unless the show gets a lot better, I think both groups are going to be sadly disappointed. I thought it was boring, and the characters weren't that true to the novels. I'm guessing that was why the audience dropped off so much. It was probably bedtime for more than half of the audience.
