One big factor is her show's head-to-head battle with American Idol, which airs at the same time.
“Hopefully people won't watch American Idol and they'll watch us instead," she says with a laugh. "That's only like 50 million viewers."
The beloved star admits she's had her share of tough times as she battled breast cancer, but she still finds the bright side of it all.
“This was obviously an incredibly difficult year, not just because of that, but because I lost a good friend in the middle of it, and my cousin actually passed away in October from ovarian cancer," she reveals. "So kind of a big year, and you can't help but change a little bit. But you know, on one hand there's all of that, and on the other hand I've fallen very much in love, so that's another thing that's happened. So there's a good end to every story."
