Viewership took a drop last week. Did CT’s departure hurt it even more?
Episode 7 was viewed by 517,000 people with a 0.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is a huge increase of 135,000 viewers compared to last week and the demo went up by 0.06. It was the sixth highest-rated cable show of the night.
This is an amazing rebound compared to last week. The past few Challenge seasons have seen ratings increase toward the middle of the game, and it seems this season will follow the same trajectory. Let’s hope the show can continue to bring in good numbers!
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Battle of the Eras Episode 6: 382,000 viewers (0.16 rating)
Battle for a New Champion Episode 7 : 415,000 viewers (0.18 rating)
