Well, they have a little to do with the ratings. Not sure what the main TW demographic is, but totally hypothetically, if it's, say 18-40 yr old women and most of the viewers in the slot were 50-70 yr old men, then yeah, I think you can safely say that the overall bump is totally unrelated to TW. But I don't know the demographic breakdowns (which do exist for Nielsen though I'm not sure the time schedule when they're released -- I know that some data isn't available until later) of either TW viewers or the timeslot in question, so as far as this discussion is concerned the point is moot.

Which really brings us back to people are not watching because of [insert laundry list of reasons here], I suppose. One thing you didn't mention and that I wouldn't be surprised if it's a factor, is that many casual viewers may have dropped it because it was interesting enough to watch, but not interesting enough to remember the airing schedule; hiatuses can muck with ratings and new faces can deter casual fans -- if you're not watching enough to know who the new faces are or why old faces are gone, then it's easy to switch the channel or turn off the tv. But the answers you got weren't from casual fans, so.
