[QUOTE=IAMDWRECK;166376]Hmmm I'm hoping the ratings are great.[/QUOTE]I doubt they will be great. I'm hoping it does well though. At least make over 1.5.
I hope ratings are alright. It would be a shame if they weren't because I feel this is the first season in a while where they did a really good job advertising.

DC had good advertisement, as did the ruins. Everyone's expecting way too much...
[quote=tjhallow;166563]um yeah, they did.[/quote]
honestly no they didnt... They had ok advirtisement on their station but elsewhere no they did not =/

When did they advertise the challenges anywhere else besides MTV?

Maybe here and there on the radio, but you are right TJ, MTV has barely been marketing these shows.
The only one from MTV I have seen anywhere else was The Buried Life.
[QUOTE=jbo29j;166631]They also advertised real world washington DC on certain websites like Rate my professor.com whose whole front page was basically an ad.[/QUOTE]
****************.*** is owned by MTV.
South Park had 3.071 million viewers. Why MTV doesn't move RW and RW/RRC back to its old Tuesday timeslot, where it got good ratings and had less competition, is beyond me.
Dayumm that sucks?! I was actually expecting double that ? I blame all this on The Real World DC -worst season EVER. I dont think the Rw/Rr or the Rw will ever stop maybe like in 20 years but not anytime soon . And im 100 percent sure of this. The real world just needs a Big makeover or sumthing : go back to 7 people, 7 unique and not shy , good looking , drama ppl :D it kinda sucks that this is happening to my favorite show :)
ive been watching since gauntlet 1 :D
[QUOTE=gamer73;166710]Wait,hold up.
So if this challenge doesn't get a lot of viewers the challenges are ending?
:'(
I say move it back to Tuesday and see what that does.[/QUOTE]
No, it's just with the current ratings this low and the contract coming up around season 26 (Of the original RW, I believe), some of us wouldn't be surprised if they ended the Real World in general.
I think they will finish up the current contract and that is it. So RW: NO, Challenge, RW: Wherever, Challenge. The end.
The ratings are horrific.
They should build a little next week if they get a lot of replay viewers and enhance the audience, but clearly people are moving on to even trashier offerings...
Like I said in the DC thread, all these numbers are useless without knowing the online numbers. MTV is directed at young users who use the internet at a high rate - I watch at least half my TV through online viewings the next day, and they are putting more and more adds online to make money there.
So does the RW/RR fail versus 16 and Pregnant? Yes. But against other networks we don't really know.

For once, I'm starting to agree with this...time to accept defeat.

I think you mean Mondays. It was never on Tuesday.

That argument is moot currently. MTV makes pennies on the dollar via internet advertising versus prime time ad buys.
To put things in perspective, it is calculated that American Idol pulls in $600, per 1,000 viewers 18-49. Online, you'd be lucky to get $5 per 1000 viewers or basically for every actual viewer, you'd need 120 online viewers to equal their value. So for online viewing to equate to 10% of the premiere, you'd need 15.6 million internet views. (MTV.com had a little over 6 million uniques last month, and I promise you 95% of those hits had nothing to do with The Real World.)
If you could pay the bills with just an internet broadcast, why don't we see multimillion dollar series being set up for internet only viewing?
The reason? There is currently not a sustainable business model for internet broadcast.
There will be, there just isn't one yet and internet viewing means very little to network executives.
If you add up all the internet viewing, it probably accounts for .001% of the ad revenue MTV pulls in for the Real World franchise.
