Payout Perspective:
Not sure about you, but I like the Conor-Faber back and forth. Frankly, there was nothing special out of last night’s show but I found the interplay between the coaches entertaining.
The top sports cable show for the night was MLB on ESPN as the pennant race is here. The Yankees-Blue Jays game drew slightly over 1 million viewers in the 7-10pmET time slot. TUF came in second in its time slot for sports cable shows as the second game on ESPN, Dodgers-DBacks, drew 557,000 viewers. The average through 3 episodes is 540,000. In comparison, TUF 20 last fall drew an average of 514,000 viewers through 3 episodes and last spring’s TUF 21 drew only an average of 422,000 viewers.
