B+C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing TV’s most-promoted programming ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through May 22.

Food Network dominates our ranking, grabbing first and second place to promote, respectively, Supermarket Stakeout and BBQ Brawl. Both shows have now taken those chart positions two weeks in a row. A third Food Network show, Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition, drops from third place to fifth.

Fox, the sole traditional broadcaster in our top five, hypes its Niecy Nash-hosted game show reboot Don’t Forget the Lyrics! in third place.

Rounding out the ranking is Hallmark Channel, which gives some love to the season finale of When Calls the Heart in fourth place.

Notably, the When Calls the Heart promo scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (111), meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

On the strength of 400 million TV ad impressions, ABC’s promo for the 2021 Oscars tops our chart. (All those impressions, though, failed to motivate a sufficient number of viewers to tune in, and ratings for the telecast hit a historic low.)

Cable networks round out the ranking, with Discovery trying to hook viewers on the new season of Deadliest Catch in second place, Freeform hyping new teen drama/thriller Cruel Summer in third, HGTV building excitement for new show No Demo Reno in fourth, and Food Network giving some love to Worst Cooks in America in fifth.

Season two of Dr. Pimple Popper, featuring Dr. Sandra Lee taking care of people’s skin matters, arrives on TLC Jan. 3. The premiere episode sees Dr. Lee tend to a man from the Philippines with a bumpy nose. Diagnosis: Rhinophyma.

“There are some incredible stories,” Dr. Lee promises. “It has some of the biggest pops I’ve ever seen.”

Dr. Pimple Popper got her start on Instagram, offering peeks at her work, and it took off on YouTube. Reaching 4.6 million subscribers “happened by accident,” Dr. Lee said. A blackhead extraction she posted went viral, and got her thinking. “I thought, what is this, this is crazy,” she said. Noting a “subculture” of pimple-popping fans online, she thought, “I could be their queen.”

What draws people to pimple popping? Dr. Lee likens it to watching a scary movie or riding a roller coaster. The tension builds, the pop happens, the endorphins flow. “For some reason, it makes people feel good,” she said.

Viewers also enjoy watching people “get their lives back,” said Dr. Lee, after being treated.

Season two offers “a little more of me,” said the doctor, and more “behind the scenes” stuff at her office. Viewers also will get to know her husband better; he’s a dermatologist, too.

Before season two hits, there was The 12 Pops of Christmas special on TLC Dec. 13, and a book, Put Your Best Face Forward, out Dec. 31. “It feels like I have three jobs at least,” Dr. Lee said.

And it’s a new season of Worst Cooks in America on Food Network Jan. 6. Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence host, as 15 dreadful chefs learn cooking skills at boot camp and compete for a $25,000 jackpot. The most common mistake Burrell sees among awful cooks? They don’t use recipes.

“Maybe their mom or grandma was a great cook and they think it’s genetic,” she told The Watchman. “It’s not.”

The new season sees the contestants compete in games that build skills and stoke camaraderie. Burrell said Worst Cooks stands out because it’s “genuinely funny” as the contestants struggle with their assignments. “The recruits do get better,” she added, “and it turns out to be a very sweet show.”

Burrell cops to a degree of maternal impulse over the cast. “They make me feel like a proud mama,” she said.

A large number of kids have gotten into watching Worst Cooks the last few years, said Burrell, who is pleased to be part of a show that families can enjoy together. “People tell me, we all die laughing as a family when we watch,” she said. “That’s what food and cooking is all about.”
