The Challenge Battle for a New Champion: Episode 8 Ratings

This week’s episode really made a splash. Melissa caused drama and Kaycee sent Big T home. Were viewers watching?

Episode 8 was viewed by 419,000 people and received a 0.19 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is an increase of 4,000 viewers; the demo ticked up by 0.01. It was also the ninth-highest rated cable show of the night.

Not a huge jump, but any increase is good. It seems like the champions coming into the game is making a difference, and we’ll have the twist returning for the next few weeks. Sadly, one fan favorite, Big T, is gone.

Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Episode 7: 415,000 viewers
Ride or Dies Episode 8: 522,000 viewers
