The Ultimate Fighter 23 Episode 12 drew the highest rated episode of the season. It drew 601,000 (354,000 in the adult 18-49 demo) in overnight ratings and then increased to 798,000 viewers in adjusted DVR ratings.
The final episode of the season set up the fights we saw last Friday at the TUF 23 Finale from Vegas.
Overall, the season averaged approximately 400,000 viewers in overnight ratings (Live +SD) and 610,000 viewers in DVR viewership. The ratings increased on average 35%.
Last spring’s TUF 21 drew an average of 393,000 for the Team Blackzilians-Team ATT season.
Payout Perspective:
Good ratings for the last two episodes. Episode 10 was marred due to a delayed soccer game. As it has in the past the ratings, the DVR ratings boosted the overall viewership for the show. This was an ok season. I had thought that the Team Joanna-Team Claudia rivalry would have been much more dynamic but it seemed to be muted.

Reality tv is so cheap and easy to produce. They probably never get rid of this show.
