The Real World: Back to Las Vegas - Ratings

[QUOTE=SPK713;244038]Just a question, but do the ratings for this season matter anymore because the contract was renewed.[/QUOTE] Ratings always matter.

[QUOTE=SPK713;244038]Just a question, but do the ratings for this season matter anymore because the contract was renewed.[/QUOTE] It was renewed - for 1 year (2 seasons). It'll be up for renewal after just one more season airs.

[QUOTE=chi-bears13;244027]Looks like the trend is about 2.1 million viewers. Btw, I honestly liked DC season. That Andrew kid was hilarious! I'm kinda surprised actually that it did so bad. NOLA just sucked. I mean, the only funny/gross thing that happened was the toothbrush/cigarettes/pillow incident. Other than that, it was like watching paint dry.[/QUOTE] I agree. I'm happy that this season is doing well but so far every episode has centered around Adam being drunk and him and Nany. It's been very repetitive, so i have no idea why it's doing better. And NOLA was not good at all. Trashy.

[QUOTE=SPK713;244038]Just a question, but do the ratings for this season matter anymore because the contract was renewed.[/QUOTE] Ratings play a big role even for this season because MTV only really promotes shows with ads and put them in high rotation when they are happy with the ratings. They abandoned New Orleans and Cancun from week 1 with their ****** ratings.

I predict a drop in ratings. It's 4/20, bad timing.

It's really interesting situation... a) today is 4/20 b) Adam is gone

[QUOTE=jhl182;244392]I predict a drop in ratings. It's 4/20, bad timing.[/QUOTE] What? 4/20 is perfect timing. A good chunk of the prime demo will not be able to get off the couch... What better to do than watch crazy people screaming at each other on TV?

[QUOTE=Bacchus;244394]What? 4/20 is perfect timing. A good chunk of the prime demo will not be able to get off the couch... What better to do than watch crazy people screaming at each other on TV?[/QUOTE] Does the price of chronic triple on 4/20 the way roses do on Valentine's Day?

Ratings for last night Real World Las Vegas (MTV, 10pm) - 2.015 million viewers - 1.4/2 HH - 1.2/3 A18-49

Nice! I expected a drop due to Adam's departure. I predict a drop due to yesterday's episode being a bit... immature/irritating

[QUOTE=SPK713;244623]I predict a drop due to yesterday's episode being a bit... immature/irritating[/QUOTE] Hopefully the insane promo for the rest of the season will bring people back

[QUOTE=blanky667;245611]Dustin's story really pulled in those ratings! [B][U]Episode 8 Ratings[/U][/B] Real World Las Vegas (MTV, 10pm) - 2.530 million viewers - 1.7/3 HH - 1.4/4 A18-49 - 3.0/8 W18-34 - 1.7/7 T12-17 Season highs all over I think.[/QUOTE] A failing grade for cast member behavior usually results in better ratings.

I thought BMP lost it over the past few years. If anyone knows, has there been any change in the casting people?

[QUOTE=V1man;245614]A failing grade for cast member behavior usually results in better ratings.[/QUOTE] That it has spurred along more interesting conversations about issues not discussed as in depth here at other times evidences to me that this season's bad behavior is, at least, a little better quality bad behavior than in other recent seasons.

[QUOTE=SeanDaniel;245633]That it has spurred along more interesting conversations about issues not discussed as in depth here at other times evidences to me that this season's bad behavior is, at least, a little better quality bad behavior than in other recent seasons.[/QUOTE] That's probably an accurate assessment, but I wonder what the ratings would have been if Nany, Heather or Dustin had immediately called a house meeting where there had been a very long, thoughtful discussion of the issues at hand. Lower perhaps?

It wasn't the quality of the episode that brought in the ratings, it was the preview of it... (waiting to be proven wrong by V1Man as usual LOL)

Reasoned discourse (or no discussion at all to please those who think Dustin's prior acts were no one's business) likely draws only core, die-hard fans to the episode. Thoughtful reality shows usually barely last an entire season before being canned.

[QUOTE=SeanDaniel;245654]Didn't find it boring, but it clearly was not as dramatic as the previews made it seem like it would be.[/QUOTE] That's one of the reasons that previews exist. To make someone watch and clearly the previews did their job ;)

think that next week's ratings will be much worse. For me, it was the most boring episode from all season. Dustin looked just... So fake.

[QUOTE=gamer73;245662]You always have something negative to say about the show don't you? If you don't like it then don't watch.[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? Because I dont find it entertaining that a gay ******** is revealed I immediately don't like the show? This season isn't that good... sorry I know crap when I see it.

[QUOTE=gamer73;245662]You always have something negative to say about the show don't you? If you don't like it then don't watch.[/QUOTE] Whether I agree or disagree, I always appreciate SPK713's commentary. I think you are a being little too agressive in this instance, my friend. :sadwalk:

[QUOTE]This season isn't that good... sorry I know crap when I see it. :sarcastic_hand: [/QUOTE] Hey, this is reality tv were talking about. No one is going to win a Nobel Prize for this stuff. :rolleyes:

I thought the episode was very good, I was captivated by it, not at all bored. I think this season is fantastic so far.

[QUOTE=iRyan;245692]I thought the episode was very good, I was captivated by it, not at all bored. I think this season is fantastic so far.[/QUOTE] It was a good episode, just not as dramatic as was advertised. This is a good season IMO. That this cast has a ton more twitter followers than anybody from other seasons, including recent ones, I think a lot of people are vibing on this.

Smoke n mirrors IMO Is this season really all that good? Other than Adam going crazy & ''that gay **** guy''. What has happened in the season? It's just them locked in a hotel room with each other and going to the same club over and over.
