Ratings are going up and down — was this week an upper or downer?
The Challenge: Vets & New Threats: Episode 10 was watched by 305,000 live viewers and received a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is a small drop of 7,000 viewers compared to last week, and the demo ticked down by 0.01. The show was the 5th highest-rated cable show of the night.
This was a competitive night, as America’s “fifth sport” went up against a real sport: an MLB World Series Wild Card game. It also had Survivor as a competitor. However, The Challenge is still MTV’s highest-rated show, not that there’s any other notable programming on the network.
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Vets & New Threats Episode 9: 312,000 viewers (0.13 rating)
All Stars Rivals Episode 10: 232,000 (0.09 rating)
Battle of the Eras Episode 10: 400,000 viewers (0.18 rating)
