Well, it looks like things are going up. From Battle of the Seasons and Real World Portland that is.

Rivals 2 premiered to 1.574 million people watching the show and a rating of 0.9 in the 18-49 demographic according to TVByTheNumbers. While this number it’s huge, it is a positive increase from previous seasons. It also appears that Rivals 2 is the highest rated new program of the night, so that’s another positive.
