Last week, the new threats took power and ratings ticked up. How did this week fare?
The Challenge: Vets & New Threats: Episode 7 was watched by 412,000 live viewers and received a 0.13 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is a jump of 52,000 viewers compared to last week, and the demo rose by 0.01. It remained the 6th highest-rated cable show of the night.
It seems the VMAs helped ratings tick up, as most MTV shows saw a jump this week — but no matter what, it’s good to get eyes on the episode. The Challenge remains MTV’s highest-rated show over the past week, excluding the VMAs.
