Crossword Genius

The lot of the viewer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sight

This clue is a double definition.

'the lot' is the first definition.
(sight can informally mean a lot of something)

'of the viewer' is the second definition.
(a viewer uses sight)

(Other definitions for sight that I've seen before include "Could be a jolly" , "Bodily faculty" , "Place worth visiting" , "Spot - eyesore" , "Show" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
