We’re getting close to the final. How many people are sticking with this season until the end?
Episode 17 was viewed by 464,000 people and received a 0.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is a decrease of 17,000 viewers from last week, but the demo went up by 0.02. It was the fifth-highest-rated cable show of the night, two spots higher than last week.
Compared to the prior episode, this isn’t terrible. It seems that most of the viewers are still tuning in. The Challenge is now MTV’s highest-rated show, but RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 received slightly higher viewership —episode 5 brought in 470,000 viewers with a 0.16 rating last Friday.
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Episode 16: 481,000 viewers
Ride or Dies Episode 17: 551,000 viewers
