yea it does blow when preempts mess up scheduled times for viewers, and then i does affect the ratings overall if its not aired during the same night, if its the next day or two it cuts out the final count of ratings too.
Ratings are in for Hostage:

#Smallville 'Hostage' delivers 1.92 million viewers/0.8 rating.
I was really hoping that we would have had 2.3-2.5mill viewers. But i was reading on ksite some tx viewers in san antonio i believe stated they had a preempt in there area. Which was an unscheduled preempt for that area. Hopefully the finale will at least get 2.3-2.5mill.
As for season ten yea i would love if it got a better night. But since smallville has scored better then anything cw has put on their since smackdown left. i dont see it moving. Now if it did move i would love if it went to mon or even back to tues nights. But the schedule for next season is probably going to go:
friday- smallville, supernatural
Thursday- vampire diaries, changlings(bexwit)
Wensdays- top model, nikkita
Tuesday- 90210, hellcats(tom welling production/cheerleader show if melrose place is canned)
Mondays- gossip girl, (either one of the other pilots nomads, that medical drama, horse ranch show in contention if one tree hill isnt returning)
