With sinking ratings across the board on MTV, and after a Real World season with especially low ratings, how did The Challenge perform?

Episode 1 of The Challenge was viewed by 694,000 people and received a rating of 0.41in the 18-49 demographic. Episode 2 was viewed by 654,000 people and received a rating of 0.39 in the 18-49 demographic. CT’s Hall of Fame special was viewed by 460,000 people and received a rating of 0.27 in the 18-49 demographic.

While these ratings aren’t stellar, it’s a big improvement when compared to The Real World. CT’s Special was viewed by more people than any episode of Real World: Bad Blood.
