Ratings were down last week. Did they tick up this week?
The Challenge: Vets & New Threats: Episode 13 was watched by 242,000 live viewers and received a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is a small jump of 6,000 viewers, but the demo dropped by 0.01. The episode was the 7th highest-rated cable show of the night.
This season continues to have low ratings, which is definitely not good for the franchise. MTV also continues to air episodes so they overlap with direct competitors. Survivor aired in the exact same 90-minute slot as The Challenge, and Fox’s show that includes Cara Maria, 99 to Beat, started airing at 9 pm.
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Vets & New Threats Episode 12: 236,000 viewers (0.09 rating)
Battle of the Eras Episode 13:419,000 viewers (0.16 rating)
