Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals 3- 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.

Ratings are good and the episode was great in my opinion. I like the new changes they've made...

Both shows have different demographics, so I didnt expect a huge impact.

This goes to show that when the regulars are NOT the focus people will watch.

How in the world did ratings rise during Survivor finale? Wow I thought they'd take a hit this time.  Idk what show y'all chose but I was in full Survivor mode last night.

i dont think the demographics are the same. cause i dont watch survivor & have no interest in watching it.

survivor ratings dip during the reunion which is why they separate it off from the finale lol

I'm actually really surprised the Dunk Kings got really good ratings. Didn't know people would be intersted in that show.

Because survivor sucks. I mean they been to every ******* island on this planet sometimes even twice. Maybe they should try going interstellar.

I had a dream that Evan and Kenny came in sometime during this season and I instantly came to vevmo to question whether the final 3 were still correct or not. 

Shame

I'd say that's more of a nightmare.

last episode didn't impress me too much. But I'm so happy cause ratings went up!

WittyWrath#57

Y'all better start trusting Bunim Murray and quit complaining about not seeing challenges and eliminations which they'll eventually get to. If this continues they might make it back to over a million viewers.

hardbitten#58

Lol. When the ratings drop, the excuses will be off the charts.

LucciVee#59

I love how MTV is like ***** we got this. #FALLBACKVIEWERS

PinkRose#60

No because its going to drop at some point during the season, but they are good for mtv standards right now especially on the demographic they care that is over average.

That's what I meant, lool. I mean, its a TV show, so its bound to drop in ratings. But if its gets lower and lower, I expect some people to throw excuses out there.
