Behind the Screen: The Challenge: USA - 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.

I hope it doesn't get canceled it was cute. It'll be a cute little show to do in the summer time...

Y'all really let the cookout and king James down y'all should be ashamed of yourselves 

amandagarciaisaqueen#5

There's a chance maybe people were in BB mode and didn't watch it yet (decided to watch podcasts or live feeds instead) and will catch up on it later, and then next week's ratings will be better

amandagarciaisaqueen#6

Just trying to be optimistic loll

Flopnanas#7

We finally have a challenge show that doesn't have the same two 40 year old tired men and Captain Hook winning and the vacation alliance and y'all don't watch. The *** is the matter with y'all?! I don't want to hear shit if it gets cancelled 

Flopnanas#8

now sis at least love island was showing softcore p0rnz and hookups. These ratings are not going to skyrocket when they will just spend 50 minutes on the challenge and Alyssa obsessively trying to get rid of the cookout 

PinkRose#11

Btw why didn't they air this on bb elimination days? lol

Arent those the highest rated episodes of that show? Since the others they are hoh and nominations that are known days ahead of the episodes, while eliminations are live.

Flopnanas#12

They shoulda gotten parvati and Hannah chaddha on season one if it was going to get cancelled anyways smh

Yea they don't have to pay 30 people an appearance fee and 500k prize at the end. This show is in danger say it ain't so

I didn't realize this ur right. Damn damn DAMN

WesTracked#16

the demo needs to go up point blank .40 is not gonna cut it, i expected a .60

SeauxMtv#17

.40 would be number one and be considered good on the  cable chart but CBS is literally on every tv known to man so yeah it wasn't the best demo but hoping it can rise

Well let's cross our fingers

Second highest demo of the night on primetime. If these other flop shows can get away with it and get renewed every year so can this. 
timster3#20

Oh only the highlighted shows were new episodes. Everything else was a rerun :s

timster3#22

LMAO that mysteries decoded show has a 100% decline in demo

WesTracked#23

like how are we almost getting beat by reruns  of the 7th season of Chicago Med lol

timster3#24

Not the old people stanning the challenge. Allstars should've went on CBS they'd eat it up cause they relate to being elder

Episode 2 ratings: https://programminginsider.com/wednesday-ratings-cbs-veteran-big-brother-tops-night-steep-falloff-for-the-eye-nets-the-challenge/

The Challenge had 2.13 million viewers and a 0.3 demo rating

Nearly 27% decrease in the demo. Ooof. The raw viewership didn't drop off as much. Only abou 8.5%.

Big Brother is struggling in the ratings as well with a similar demo drop and a demo rating of .6 . The Challenge needs BB to do well because it seems like The challenge will be half of BB's demos. The Challenge demographic skews much older than BB.

timster3#30

WE LOVE A STABLE HIT!

timster3#31

Amanda coming in with the facts

TheLightWithin coming in with the detailed tea for us dummies that don't get ratings

Me coming in to be overly optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. I love this new team!
