Thread: Real World: St Thomas - Ratings

via

Ouch.

Wow it hurts me seeing these numbers, and I didn't even watch this season haha

Ouch is an understatement. Atleast the challenge starts next week and looks great.

You know these bad ratings should really be making BMP rethink this show and stop casting the same type of people...make this more of the stand-alone show it once was and not just for bringing new people in the challenges (Which they barely use...until now).

4. Awkward deserves its own night even more than the Real World right now. Chances are MTV will find another hit scripted show, since they have found one the last 3 years.


The biggest threat to the Real World is the youth direction the network has taken the last 3 years. The Real World appeals more to adults than it does the MTV teenage demographic.

As far as teen mom goes, there will be spinoffs. Alot of them have posted about filming. I'm assuming Catelynn and Tyler will have their own wedding show, considering he just "happened" to move up the date next year. Catelynn and Tyler irritate the hell out of me. Yes, they did an amazing thing. It takes a strong person to do that. I get it, I'm adopted. However, the show is called Teen Mom. Every season is the same ****, especially with those two. And im betting they moved up the wedding so they can stay in the public eye. They are not fooling anyone.

Jersey Shore, I agree with the poster who said the same thing will happen to Jersey shore that happened to Laguna Beach season 3. If they try to get a new cast in there, it won't be the same. I remember Laguna Beach season 2 being even more popular than season 1. Season three came and that was it, I bet no one can even remember anyone from the casts name. And then there was that sad newport beach attempt.

MTV will find a way, people will still watch Teen Mom spinoffs and 16 and pregnant. I'm sure Snooki and Jionni will get a wedding show, and there will be things to keep the cast relevant is if this indeed their last season.

As far as Real World goes, I honestly don't know why the show hasn't been cancelled. Not that I want it to be, but the ratings have been atrocious. Same thing with the challenges. I know I barely watch the Real World and I barely watch the challenges. And I have always been a challenge fan, even when I stopped watching the Real World. I guess its just sad to see how the show has changed. Especially for those of us who have been watching it since the beginning of time, and just like Real World Sydney and on.
