Thread: Real World: St Thomas - Ratings

If the next season has a bunch of crazy, wild, kids partying all the time and fighting along with interesting characters I guarantee it'll be a hit but if it's the same old -- cast members hooking up, two guys fighting over a girl, a girl has a boyfriend back home but likes her cast mate, etc it's gonna do probably just as bad as this season.

That's exactly what Leroy and Nehemiah said on AfterbuzzTV. Leroy said he hated Adam breaking stuff in house, but that makes for better tv. He said no one wants to see folks coupled up the entire time.

Ratings will probably take another hit with the first game of the football season tonight.

And more of a drop.

REAL WORLD XXVII - 1.064
0.6 A 18-49

Next week is the finale. On CBS at 8 they'll show the premiere of Survivor, followed by the finale of Big Brother, it'll probably go down next week as well.

For a second I saw the 1.06 and thought ratings went up.

1.06 is less than 1.09, so no.
