The reality TV landscape has never been more crowded or more diverse. From dating shows to competition series to docusoaps, networks and streamers are betting big on unscripted content.
What sets the great shows apart is their ability to create genuine moments — the kind of unscripted drama that no writer's room could manufacture. That's what keeps fans coming back.

Discussion thread about The Real World: Cancun - Ratings with 30 replies from the Vevmo community.
TVbythenumbers say that they shall provide the numbers tomorrow. Can't wait to see if the show did well or not.
Dartagnan;88612 wrote:At least they didn't show the same preview everytime like The Duel II. Look at where the ratings ended up due to that, but it came out a fighter by breaking that 2 million mark and making number 3 in the Top 10.
I am sure it did okay. I think they promoted it somewhat for the past few weeks.

I'm hoping it did well, but don't think it did as well as Brooklyn's premiere.

I have a feeling the numbers will be good. Real World Cancun was even a trending topic on Twitter. That has to mean something, right? ;)
blanky667;88789 wrote:ugh, what about tomorrow?
I asked over at TVbythenumbers if they were going to post the numbers. Since Robert (creator) is gone for a little bit, we won't be seeing those numbers today.
XOKittieXO;89141 wrote:I wouldn't count on it. Usually, they release the numbers the day after the show's airing if they've recieved it early from MTV or they just include it in the weekly cable data every Tuesday. But, we can be sure that we will see numbers, if Robert is there because he is the one that pays for all of this data I believe. When Robert comes back, I'll put in a simple Twitter request if the numbers aren't posted in this weeks cable data like expected and we can only hope that he will agree with sending the big number.

Did anybody ever get the ratings?
dplayer18;90139 wrote:Well, we don't know but it would probably have to do 3.7 million overall viewers to make the top 20 cable shows. We will see how it does in the 18-34 demo via Media Life, if it makes the top 10. As for why TVbythenumbers is not offering shows out of the top 20, I think I read somewhere that Nielsen was giving him a hard time about doing so and thus he has been negotiating with them for their data. Doesn't sound like it is going well.
So it probably didn't make the top 20?
blanky667;90855 wrote:Quite surprising as normally I can gauge the ratings just by the amount of traffic in that hour here and it was busy. No one is talking about the ratings and MTV has not put out their normal spin happy press release (i.e. The Real World Cancun DOMINATED the 3-6.5 year old male Maine **** cat demo and was the #1 cable show for the day with housewives born on April 9th in American Samoa. ) So, I guess we will just have to sit tight and see if something crops up in the next few weeks...
Real World XXII ended up not making the top 10.
LOSERS "Real World Cancun." "Real World" -- so over? Cancun opened Wednesday and only 1.4 million bothered to tune in. That's the franchise's smallest opening audience ever.washingtonpost.com

I enjoy watching people strive to reach their career goals and personal goals rather than two roommates making out with a daughter and her mother. That's just me, though.
maybe if MTV would actually promote the show the ratings would be better. I am surprised last season did better because this cast is so much more entertaining.

I'm shocked actually....a lot of people where talking about this season. At the same time, I know people who decided to skip this season, because it's in Cancun, an they only expect Drunk, party, crazy people....which IMO is not the case. I hope Cancun can increase their ratings, if not it will all come down to RW:DC to save the series.
producer88;91014 wrote:We can't forget that this show ran in repeats everyday (except yesterday) over the last week, so hopefully it was sampled by a lot of people who will tune in and make the second episode a bigger hit in the ratings. I think it is a quality show and thus we should see an improvement next week.
