Behind the Screen: The Real World: Cancun - 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.

Thanks for putting together the list blanky. Overall they had pretty consistent numbers...

I think some of it has to do with what time of year it airs as well...

Thanks for putting together the list blanky. Overall they had pretty consistent numbers. It is too bad that MTV decided to show less repeats in order to attempt to boost them... I have a feeling The Ruins will see better ratings overall and The Real World DC has had so much pre-show buzz that it also should do a bit better, if there is some real substance to the season and viewers get hooked.

That will do the trick.

I really liked this season and think that the lack of promotion is to blame.

Well , it has been quite a while since we've heard anything ratings wise for The Real World. But tvbythenumbers has finally put them up! Episode 11 pulled in only 1.794 Million viewers, a very small decrease week to week from Episode 10 to 11. These numbers are exceptional, but not regular RW numbers. But they're far better compared to the other shows on MTV, so thats a win, IMO.

Also, the finale numbers were posted on tvbythenumbers.com overnight. I'm surprised at how quickly these guys get these, but it sure beats the week long wait! Real World XXII Episode 12 managed to pull in 2.049 Million viewers. A great increase week to week! I'm glad to see that it managed to break the 2 Million point before its end. Strong finish by Real World 22!
