Behind the Screen: The Challenge : Battle Of The Bloodlines - 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.

Never was & it's finally starting to show. CT was the one who brought the ratings.

Correction.

Jenna = ratings

PinkRose#337

It wasnt a huge increase, but an increase is an increase.

Numbers always go up the last few episodes.The proof is in the pudding as far as Bananas bringing the ratings on exes.Check the numbers champ,I love exes because we saw the ratings when he was there the 3 weeks he wasn't on and when he returned,numbers don't lie.

Excuses!

Ratings does go up on the finale but this wasnt the finale thats next week.

Like you say numbers dont lie he was on episode 1-4 and last week episode those episode did worse in the rating department than this episode.

The numbers go up near the end,.how many times have you said that on here?And please don't look at episodes 1-3 because the biggest star Ct was on exes at the start and the ratings were a disaster and when he left they went up drastically does that mean Ct doesn't make a difference?

I have said that the 2 finale episodes tends to be the highest rated ones from each season.

CT was on episode 2 of exes 2 and it was almost a million *Just Saying*

Episode 7 on exes 2 without bananas and episode 9 on exes 2 when he came back from exile got the same ratings, numbers dont lie.

Then if we used your logic then the ratings for episode 10 did better not only because of bananas , but because it was close to the end just like according to you happened last night. #Excuses

Look Backpack isn't ******* needed for this show and now that fact is very ******* clear. They can go on and give the ******* his walking papers now.

And he can take Camilla and any AYTO with him.

PinkRose#346

I am not going to denied that banans have a strong fan base, but the show will do just fined if he decides to retire in my opinion.

I agree to the fullest. I've thought that for the longest time now and it's good to see now have proof that the show doesn't need him..This show has NEVER needed him.

Jfreeze#349

Thank GOD for the Exes 2 numbers so i can shut down the haters on here

badladjj#350

J freeze you gotta roll out. Cause you really haven't shut down anyone. We all disagree with you. You are talking about numbers from last season. It's a new season, new numbers, new year, new times, and with that being said, this season has shown that Bananas is no longer making an impact and a lot of that has to do with the fact that he is on every single season with the same story. CT helped the ratings literally from the time they showed he was gonna be on the show to the time he appeared. That's who they need to focus on getting season 29. Along with some other old school vets who can bring in some more viewers to get the numbers up like Mark, Brad, and Abram who all seem to have a fanbase and could bring something to the show. Maybe even Darrell but he has been away for a while but who can forget someone that has won 4 challenges? But we are dealing with children, clearly.

I usually don't respond to haters like you DEBUT/Graphic/Hb because it's a waste but you do realize the numbers always go up this late in the season correct?As for CT I do Agree he's the only person with a bigger fan base than Johnny,but having said that it didn't make a difference just a few months back on exes because when he left the ratings went up.But if you look at the ratings the week after Johnny left it was by far the lowest rated ep of the season & when he returned IT went up again.That's what you call proof that he makes a huge differnce,SORRY

KChallenge10#352

People love or hate Bananas but I don't mind him on the shows. Yeah he can be annoying but he's always in some type of drama and he's a good competitor so I don't mind him.

I don't think bananas is the reason why it went up though. It always goes up towards the end of the season.

PinkRose#355

Around the same number from the previous 2 weeks

Woahhhhhhh the Survivor ratings were wayyyyyy down. What's that about? 

Usually the premiere is 9-10 million and like that all season. It may deep to 8 million but it  comes back up. But for this season to get 8 million, low 8 million at that is not good IMO. Hopefully, it get higher but usually after the premiere the next episode ratings are a little lower.

 I think the whole network was inflated as whole last night. North Carolina had affilate basketball on last night and it took half the networks audience, but I think it'll rebound.
