There’s always an excuse, right? Last week it was because of the 4th of July. This week is because of the loss of the direct TV viewers.

Hopefully these excuses are valid. The Real World is on life support now.

Futon Critic reports that Wednesday’s episode got 0.883 million views and a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demo.

Still terrible. These rating are the worst we’ve seen ever.
