Ratings were down last week. Did they tick up this week?
The Challenge: Vets & New Threats: Episode 12 was watched by 236,000 live viewers and received a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic. These are completely flat ratings compared to last week, with neither metric seeing any change. The episode was the 13th highest-rated cable show of the night.
The show continues to struggle, as MTV fades to irrelevancy and competition gets stronger from sports and other reality shows in the same time slot. At least The Challenge scored better viewership than MTV’s other show, Love & Hip-Hop, this week.

Vets & New Threats Episode 11: 236,000 viewers (0.09 rating)
