Any rise in viewership is good, but this season continues to perform poorly compared to Battle of the Eras. However, it’s not like MTV is really promoting the season, and the network continues to make The Challenge compete against Survivor and major sporting events like the World Series.
Here are some benchmarks to compare this episode:
Vets & New Threats Episode 13: 242,000 viewers (0.08 rating)
Battle of the Eras Episode 14:341,000 viewers (0.15 rating)
