TUF went up against Duck Dynasty, which led the night in cable ratings with 9.4 million viewers for a 4.3 rating in the 18-49 demo. This week featured the men in the octagon. It also featured another verbal exchange between Rousey and Tate. With next week’s fight being the women, we will see if the ratings will fluctuate.
Breaking news: The ufc has run its course
Hahaha
Wow a 25% drop. I predicted this for episode 2, guess I was just 1 off. I’m thinking a new series low will be reached with a rating in the 400,000s and this season will sit in the 500-700 range.
This show doesn’t know what it wants to be… Big Brother or a show about fighting, and this is confusing a lot of viewers. Almost a full hour of fluff to see 2 amateurs fight a 3 minute fight.
Not suprising the show is weak. Next season should be good. I’m glad this season didn’t ruin TUF.
As predicted
