GOLD RUSH, which has its season six finale tonight at 9 PM ET/PT on Discovery, was TV's #1 unscripted series - topping American Idol, Survivor, and more - across M25-54, M18-49, M18-34. GOLD RUSH is also attracting a large female audience. The series cracked the Top 10 unscripted cable series rankers among W25-54 and P18-34, while FAST N' LOUD saw Top 10 ranks across P25-54, M25-54, P18-49, M18-49, P18-34, M18-34 and P2+.
