RW/RR: The Ruins - Ratings

I've been keeping an eye out as well, but no word yet. It should do well.

LOL why did you guys expect good numbers? The Duel 2 premiere was good too and it did just as ****ty.

*ahem* What were [I]The Hills, et al.[/I]'s ratings? I know I'm beating a dead horse, but the word "priorities" is slicing my head open, just like this damn Conservatives for Patient's Rights commercial that's on right now (random thought, but still appropriate).

Hills was like 2.1....lowest hills premiere ever.

[QUOTE=tjhallow;124896]Hills was like 2.1....lowest hills premiere ever.[/QUOTE] Suddenly, the word "schadenfreude" is slicing my head open even deeper.

I don't think that any reality shows are getting as good ratings anymore.

I don't think 1.6 is bad.

[QUOTE=salt&vinegar;124900]I don't think that any reality shows are getting as good ratings anymore.[/QUOTE] You know, maybe it's because of overkill. It seems that sitcoms ([I]good[/I] sitcoms) are gradually making a comeback, much like any art-form. :)

[QUOTE]The premiere of RW/RR: The Duel 2 delivered a 1.76 P12-34 rating and averaged 1.78 million viewers[/QUOTE]So well down from the Duel II (being [I]total[/I] viewers did not even equal 12-34 of DII) and around the same numbers as TRW: Cancun premiere. They are showing all sorts of repeats this week so hopefully the audience builds and they hit a higher note next week.

Kind of like when disco died in the early 80's. Everyone had so much hatred towards the music and were really eager to kill it off, I could see the same happening to reality tv.

hmm.. i have a feeling numbers will increase..

[B]The Duel[/B] MTV has released the official viewing numbers for the The Duel Real World Road Rules Challenge. The full season of The Duel was seen by 83 million viewers.

The Duel 2 has already aired?

[QUOTE=gamer73;125105][B]The Duel 2 has already aired?[/B][/QUOTE] uh yea, what planet are u living on? I'm assuming that u live in Canada or somewhere outta the us bc a few months ago somebody said the current challenge airing in Canada is Inferno 3 and if u don't live in america u cannot watch the challenges.

I think those are good ratings. I think it will build up from that.

[QUOTE=tjhallow;124896]Hills was like 2.1....lowest hills premiere ever.[/QUOTE] Yes, The Hills was down by 900,000 viewers. Still, it is one of MTV's best rated series. Sounds bad for the network. I still do not understand why they do not spend the money to cross promote their shows on other networks. I have been seeing Stargate SGU (Syfy) commercials across the spectrum. Yet, MTV seem to only advertise their shows on MTV. Sounds like they should fire some people and bring on fresh eyes as there is no question in my mind this is great TV. Spend money to make money.

I didn't watch RW Cancun and don't watch the Hills. The last regular programs I watched on MTV were RW Brooklyn and 16 & Pregnant and they weren't advertising The Ruins back then.

Maybe they should get a RW/RR Cast member to be a guest host of WWE Raw. THat's a good way for promotion, seeing as how USA is a bigger network. Many of the 18-31 area watch WWE Raw at that time.

Veronica or Katie would be great at that!

Or Kenny. He IS a wrestling fan after all!

these season would rock if it had one of or all CT in it instead of Adam and Alton, Jodi, Rachel, and Landon

I think there is hope for this challenge. It may not be of to a strong start, but if MTV keeps replaying episodes and keeps showing commercials, it may make a comeback. The Duel 2 had stronger ratings in the end, so there's no reason the Ruins can't either. Although I am somewhat disappointed, because I am really starting to like this challenge. I have not been this excited to see the second episode since the Duel 1 aired. This season has potential, and I hope it continues to be as good as it was during the first episode.

[QUOTE=dplayer18;125497]That could be a good idea, since the Miz is a member of the RAW roster.[/QUOTE] An even better idea (for ratings) would be to MAKE The RW/RR Challenge WWE RAW! Muhuhahaha... [B]Wes:[/B] "You want to fight me?" [B]Darrell[/B]: "You, you piece of ****. I'd own you!" [I] *ding *ding* *ding*[/I] (camera pans to reveal giant outdoor wrestling arena) [B]Announcer:[/B] "Ladieeeeeeeees and Gentleeeeeeeeeeemen. Welcome, to The Ruins Divaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas Championship!" (crowd roar)

lol @ divas I am assuming TJ would not be the announcer.
