Yeah, you're probably right.

Also, for a lot of American fans, I don't think they really watched the first season but tuned in later, when it was Ten. So Ten would not only be their longest-running Doctor, but also their first. And people tend to favor their first Doctor, from what I've noticed.

It actually took about five or six episodes before I warmed up to Ten, but I loved Eleven almost instantly. And that was coming from me absolutely hating him for being really, really young. I didn't think someone as young as Matt Smith could play a character who's supposed to be as worldly and intelligent as the Doctor, but when he showed he could, I loved him to pieces.
