Real World: New Orleans 2 - Ratings

Still the best season in a few years ratings wise. I thought the season started getting worse every week around week 4, so I was surprised the ratings held as long as they did. I'm curious to see how the next season of The Challenge does.

Just out of curiosity, how does Real World do compared to other MTV shows? It may not seem like it's doing very well, but aside from "Jersey Shore" is there any other MTV show that does better than Real World?

Teen Mom does a lot better

I'm sure it won't disappoint.

The top rated MTV shows this year, in order, according to the internet: Jersey Shore Teen Mom 16 and Pregnant Americas Best Dance Crew The Hills RW:NO The City RW: DC FMII World of Jenks' first episode would place it between 16 and Pregnant and ABDC.

Reunion Ratings Real World: Back to New Orleans Reunion - 1.699 million viewers - 1.2/2 HH - 0.9/3 A18-49 - 2.0/6 W18-34

Damn, much better than expected.

Ratings Overview I saw this hasn't been done for this season yet, so I'm just gonna go ahead and make it easier for everyone and put together all of the ratings just to avoid going through all of these pages looking for the numbers. Premiere - 1.261 Million Viewers/0.6 A18-34 Episode 2 - 1.692 Million Viewers/1.0 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 3 - 1.705 Million Viewers/0.9 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 4 - 1.738 Million Viewers/1.0 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 5 - 1.750 Million Viewers/1.0 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 6 - 2.043 Million Viewers/1.2 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 7 - 2.202 Million Viewers/1.2 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 8 - 1.987 Million Viewers/1.1 A18-34 ~ Decrease Episode 9 - 2.166 Million Viewers/1.3 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 10 - 2.003 Million Viewers/1.1 A18-34 ~ Decrease Episode 11 - 1.929 Million Viewers/1.0 A18-34 ~ Decrease Finale - 1.708 Million Viewers/0.9 A18-34 ~ Decrease Reunion - 1.699 Million Viewers/0.9 A18-34 ~ Decrease So this season increased from the premiere, all the way to week 7 and then hung on at the upper 1.9 to lower 2.0 million range, and then fell to 1.7 with the finale and 1.6 with the reunion. If my math is correct, this season averaged 1.837 million viewers and picked up nearly 24 million viewers. Overall, I think this season did great ratings wise, and I also enjoyed watching it. I'm hoping that Cutthroat and B2LV will pull it off as well. I'm hoping for good casting, because without a good cast, you have nothing.

Actually... Premiere - 1.261 Million Viewers/0.6 A18-34 Episode 2 - 1.692 Million Viewers/1.0 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 3 - 1.705 Million Viewers/0.9 A18-34 ~ Decrease Episode 4 - 1.738 Million Viewers/1.0 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 5 - 1.750 Million Viewers/1.0 A18-34 ~ Hold Episode 6 - 2.043 Million Viewers/1.2 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 7 - 2.202 Million Viewers/1.2 A18-34 ~ Hold Episode 8 - 1.987 Million Viewers/1.1 A18-34 ~ Decrease Episode 9 - 2.166 Million Viewers/1.3 A18-34 ~ Increase Episode 10 - 2.003 Million Viewers/1.1 A18-34 ~ Decrease Episode 11 - 1.929 Million Viewers/1.0 A18-34 ~ Decrease Finale - 1.708 Million Viewers/0.9 A18-34 ~ Decrease Reunion - 1.699 Million Viewers/0.9 A18-34 ~ Hold

:yes: Best season in a few years ratings-wise, which I thought was impressive because I thought the season really dropped off after week 4 or 5 in terms of quality. The storytelling just isn't as good as it used to be. The JS stories are presented in a far more interesting manner; also they change topics frequently and focus on lots of little plots while RW always seems to want to make a whole episode about a single story, whether it has 44 interesting minutes or not.

S#!t They Should've Shown Special Real World: Back to New Orleans: The S#!t They Should Have Shown - 1.380 million viewers - 1.0/2 HH - 0.7/2 A18-49 - 1.5/5 W18-34

*shrugs* What did you expect? Funny how it does better than some DC episodes :D

Whats even more funny is it beat FM2 ratings pretty much each week. When you compare both seasons lol!.

I think the S#!T episodes should be shown on the same night as the reunion, or the same night as the Finale. Doing it on its own week at the end just seems like they are dragging out the season.
