After a week-long breaks, and still competing against the Olympics, The Real World seems destined for a decrease in ratings. Right?
Wrong. According to TVByTheNumbers this week’s episode of The Real World was viewed by 1.765 million people and received a rating of 1.1 in the 18-49 demographic.
This is a significant increase, especially in the 18-49 demographic. It seems like the exes twist is really paying off.

I’m excited with these ratings! The show deserves it. This season has been the best one in years!
