It also depends on what 'ratings' you're looking at. Camelot was not the fifth highest rated episode of SG1 ever-if you're looking at Nielson ratings. It only got a 1.9. The season finales of seasons 7 and 8 did better, as did Avalon 1 and 2. Season Eight averaged a 2.1 rating for it's episodes, and Season Eight's premire episodes, New Order 1 and 2, got a 2.4. Season seven episodes like Evolution, Fallout, and Death Knell all got between 1.9 and 2.2. I haven't looked back farther than the second half of season 7.
So no, in Nielson ratings-which is what the tptb gauge success on-Camelot was not the fifth highest rated episode of SG1 ever.
I believe that the 'ratings' being cited in the post above were Gateworld viewer polls. These are not indicative of a wider viewing audience, and can be voted on more than once.
