It seems Battle of the Eras is losing too many people from the era that viewers want to watch.
Episode 8 was viewed by 384,000 people with a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is a huge drop of 133,000 viewers compared to last week and the demo went down by 0.07. It was the 15th highest-rated cable show of the night.
While this is a really hard drop for the show, it was a super competitive night on TV. While The Challenge was competing against Survivor, per usual, it was also facing competition from MLB playoffs and Hurricane Milton coverage. Hopefully, the show can rebound next week when there are fewer programs in the same time slot.
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Battle of the Eras Episode 7: 517,000 viewers (0.22 rating)
Battle for a New Champion Episode 8: 419,000 viewers (0.19 rating)
