WWE Tough Enough ratings remain solid: 2.5 million viewers

May 30, 2011 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Last week’s episode of Tough Enough drew 2.562 million viewers according to Television by Numbers. Once again it drew a 0.9 rating for adults 18-49.

The Rock made a guest appearance on last week’s show adding some spark heading into this week’s finale.

Payout Perspective:

The series has consistently drawn solid ratings since its debut the day after Wrestlemania.  The ratings have remained solid despite competition this spring from the NBA and NHL.

Episode 1 – 3.33 million viewers
Episode 2 – 2.785
Episode 3 – 2.196
Episode 4 – 2.452
Episode 5 – 2.438
Episode 6 – 2.471
Episode 7 – 2.112
Episode 8 – 2.562

The reincarnated series is sure to be picked up again for a second season. Its a good complement to WWE’s Raw and seems to fit in with the company’s new business strategy. It would also be a good fit for the possibility of a WWE network in the future.

That senile old man let kids get raped

Penn State has announced it is opening the Paterno Family Football Experience Room, a "permanent museum experience" to celebrate Penn State's football history.

The exhibit will open over 14 years after the school removed Joe Paterno's statue following Jerry Sandusky's crimes.

I repeat, Joe Paterno knew what was happening to those kids. F him, this trash university and anyone who defends it.

Ballmer, Kawhi, and Uncle Dennis just experienced firsthand the consequences of the inevitably unbeatable force that is the innate Filipino desire for chismis.

I'm reminiscing today about some Ballmer articles that I wrote 12 years ago.
