Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Vets & New Threats - 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.

Episode 5:  301k live viewers with a 0.10 in the 18–49 demo.

Huge drop back to below Episode 3 numbers. Maybe last week was an outlier. Or Bananas IS The Challenge?

We had a good episode so people tuned in the next week and then we had a terrible episode with a 40 minute sodoku challenge so nobody wanted to come back. Long dailies don't attract fans and they don't get that.

They've also stopped all promotion. I haven't seen a single commercial for the show on tv or online the past three weeks.

Flopnanas#249

The 300k boost last week to drop 300k the next is strange. Bananas has left early before in wotw2 and the ratings actually went up the following week. Those 600k ratings last week are def fishy.

PinkRose#250

I am expecting 200k lol

It was the best episode since the premiere. It should pick up again next week.

They had 2 horrible episodes in a row though. They really shot themselves in the foot with that 40 minute sodoku puzzle. They lost too many people after that.

you think they woulda learned after that usa finale. Nobody wants to watch sodoku

OS Kajun#254

They don't learn from any of their mistakes. That is the issue.

I still need to start this season - been dreading it cause I don't care for new players, and I hate most of the vets like Turbo and CT. 

Overall has it been a decent season? I usually disagree with most on here anyways lol but I need to find where to watch it - it never recorded so I I haven't put in the effort to find it yet. 

Sportsman180#256

Very watchable so far. 7/10 for me to date.

I loved 40 - mainly cause of the cast - but this season gave me 39 vibes which I still need to watch, besides Aviv I wasn't excited lol 

where is a good place to watch the past episodes? On demand forces me to watch commercials and in the year of our Lord 2025 no one has time for that lol

It is better than all stars and every season after total madness

OS Kajun#259

I have loved this season. There were 2 horrible episodes and I'd watch the missions on 2x speed. The sodoku puzzle mission you can slip all together. The asethetics are really bad due to the confessional background and temu filters production uses but compared to every other season after WOTW2 it's amazing. Great rookies for once!

Most watchable season since War of the Worlds 2.  At least the first few episodes.
