Yes it's anecdotal. It is also an obvious trend among shows of a certain type.

As for the episode that aired twice - 2.5 million viewers total watched over the two airings. If one could include both airings - the season average would no longer be the worst of the four.

The finale marked an increase over the previous week - by your "single episode" assessment, the quality of that episode must have been exceptional because the viewers came back.
