For one week at least, Average Joe 2: Hawaii's roller coaster ratings ride appears to have finally have settled down.

According to "fast affiliate-based" in-home viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research (which will be updated later today and are subject to revision) the fifth episode of NBC's Average Joe 2: Hawaii drew 11.1 million overall viewers and a 5.3/13 in the Adults 18-49 demographic -- figures that are virtually identical to the 11.1 million viewers and 5.4/13 Adults 18-49 rating drawn by last week's episode.


While the performance still placed the program second behind CBS' CSI: Miami in the overall ratings and most demographic categories, Average Joe 2 did outperform CSI and place first in the Adults 18-34 and Women 18-34 demographics while delivering a performance that was 49% above NBC's Adults 18-49 result in the time period for this night last season.

NOTE: Significant adjustments to these fast affiliate-based results are possible when Nielsen issues official national results later this afternoon.
