Ratings saw a big jump last week, but could the highs continue this week?
The Challenge: Vets & New Threats: Episode 5 was watched by 301,000 live viewers and received a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is a huge decrease of 289,000 viewers compared to episode 4, and the demo fell by 0.09. It was the 7th highest-rated cable show of the night.
Last week’s episode felt like an anomaly, so the big decline isn’t a shock. While I hoped it wouldn’t be so large, The Challenge is now the most-watched MTV show (based on the past seven days), so at least it as that going for it.
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Vets & New Threats Episode 4: 590,000 viewers (0.19 rating)
All Stars Rivals Episode 5: 361,000 (0.14 rating)
Battle of the Eras Episode 5: 406,000 viewers (0.20 rating)
