It’s the era of the purge — does that include viewers?
Episode 12 was viewed by 424,000 people with a 0.17 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is an increase of 28,000 viewers compared to last week, and the demo went up by 0.01. It was the fifth-highest-rated cable show of the night.
This is a decent increase. Nothing too wild, but at least the show is moving in the right direction. Perhaps viewers will come crawling back to The Challenge now that baseball and the election are over.
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Battle of the Eras Episode 11: 396,000 viewers (0.16 rating)
Battle for a New Champion Episode 12: 504,000 viewers (0.22 rating)
