New time slot, no Fear Factor afterwords, and promo from the VMAs. How did The Challenge do?

Episode 7 was viewed by 806,000 people and received a rating of 0.48 in the 18-49 demographic. This is a drop in both respects from the prior week, but still not awful. The new show following The Challenge, Dare to Live, tanked and received a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 demo, only being viewed by 228,000 people.

Hopefully next week is better.
