Behind the Screen: Duel 2 Ratings

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Someone at tvbythenumbers stated that episode 2 was #1 in the 12-18 demo...

Hopefully that is true. That would be a big step up...

That would be me restating what B had posted here from an MTV release. I was hoping a reply with the rating for the period ending April 19. The challenges have never been of much interest to the guy who runs that site.

I can tell. That site is starting to annoy me. I hope they include them this Tuesday because I've waited long weeks just to find nothing.

The 12-18 demo, lol. Sure it is something, but not what they are really lookng for as far a a demo victory. I am sure before this season is over MTV will be spinning the 6-13.5 female, mixed race born on odd days in February (but not in leap year) demo. (I'm cynical by nature.)

I asked about this number today and was told that it is the 18-54 demographic. It only includes one year of the prime RW market, 12-18.

It just kind of sucks to see a good challenge get bad ratings. Did Gauntlet 3 do well?

User image Via Medialifemagazine.com At least it made the top 10.

Too bad it isn't higher, but it made top 10.

So it knocked out I Love Money? I wonder what a mixture of VH1 and MTV challenge personalities would result it in one challenge! Lol

I just checked tvbythenumbers.com and they finally put up the numbers. Only to see dissappointing number of = 1,587 million viewers. :(

The ratings are down overall because BMP AND MTV don't get it. BMP is lazy with casting and story telling and MTV doesn't hold their feet to the fire for it. Whoever is responsible for Evan telling every confessional should be the first person out of a job for starters. The mere sight of him makes me change the channel.

I'm sorry you feel that way, I just want to jump for joy every time he's on my TV.

I fully agree as I suspect most viewers do.

TJ, while you may relish seeing him, it objectively does not make for good TV, Surely you know this. Less is often more when it some to editing a reality character with a negative Q. BTW -- MontanaLives, goddess of BMP knowledge. Welcome to vevmo. ML and I have a long association elsewhere. She really is the best spoiler in the history of reality TV. I prostrate myself in her presence!

He honestly has not been bothering me the last couple of episodes. Honestly. The first two episodes I was like okay Evan, enough. Its not as bad as it used to be but I agree, others should get more air time. He just doesn't bother me on this challenge like he did on G3.

Gasp!! Weren't you on the old Tubescan board? I think that was the name of it.... On topic....I agree, im tired of seeing "Evan's view" or every single situation that happens. It's bad enough they got him doing those cheesy commercials. I think the rating are down not only because, IMO, this season is kinda bland, but because the editors suck at making suspenseful episodes. They had tons of material to work with on the Gauntlet 3, but they messed that one up too.
