After the romantic moment in Nemesis??? Even as a non Clana fan I will admit that was beautifully filmed and acted, and one of their best moments ever. So umm why would Clana fans be pissed? They are bringing back the Clana after all. I thought that Clana fans were pissed after Vessel's "I can't believe I ever loved you" and boycotted at that point? I certainly saw a lot of Clana fans loudly talking of early season 6's rating being so awful because of the cold Clana, how millions of Clana fans weren't watching, and making promises of what bringing Clana back would do for ratings.
The time for Lexana was actually earlier in the season with episodes like Wither and Static. Particularly Wither which ended with Lexana sex. Lana was more on Lex's side back in those days, and barely interacted with Clark. But ratings obviously held steady after Wither. Lana is a Luthor in name only since Promise, so it's a real stretch to blame Lexana for the current ratings.
Promise was what saw the series going in a radically different direction. Lana cheating on Lex, only being with him to protect Clark. And Noir was promoted with Clana kissing in the trailers I'm afraid. The episode before Noir even had a romantic Clana moment (one that was pushed in trailers), to add to the Clana build-up.
Promise saw a huge drop of about 70 thousand viewers, easily the biggest of the season. And ratings have never picked up since. If you look at the overall ratings, that's when the pattern seemed to go drastically down. Ratings didn't go down particularly after Justice, Labyrinth and Crimson did fine for the season average
