We’re inching toward the end of the season. Are the viewers along for the ride?
Episode 13 was viewed by 419,000 people with a 0.16 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is a tiny drop of 5,000 viewers compared to last week, and the demo went down by 0.01. It was the sixth-highest-rated cable show of the night.
This is an average showing for the season, so nothing major, but also nothing concerning. The Challenge is still doing well compared to other MTV shows. The most recent Jersey Shore episode (Thursday, Nov. 7) was viewed by 270,000 people, so at least The Challenge remains as MTV’s best-performing program.
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Battle of the Eras Episode 12: 424,000 viewers (0.17 rating)
Battle for a New Champion Episode 13: 528,000 viewers (0.21 rating)
