The episode featured Jessica Penne defeating Aisling Daly in the fight of the show. It also was the annual Harley Davidson visit and also featured a Connor McGregor cameo.
Among adults 18-49, it was up 3% over the season average with 341,000 viewers in that demo. the season average is 332,000. The repeat on the same night 10pm PT/1am ET drew 108,000 viewers and 65,000 in the adults 18-49 demo.
The live season average is now 512,000 viewers.
Payout Perspective:
We are starting to see college basketball running over into TUF’s time slot. This time the Big East game ran over into the TUF time slot. It’s unlikely to matter with the overall rating but might confuse those trying to DVR the show. For a show running on a night when many were traveling, the ratings were up from Episode 9.
