| Episode 1: 1.3 million viewers
Episode 2: 1.1 million viewers

For comparison TUF 14
Episode 1: 1.5 million viewers
Episode 2: 1.6 million viewers
Looks like even with the new live format, ratings are down. Lets hope it has more to do with being on a new channel than anything else. Its hard to complain with 16 free fights on one night. | |

| I bet for the typical TUF fan 16 free fights is very easy to complain about. We want drunk guys talking shit to eachother and Dana White giving the same "how much do you want it" speech to some guy with a broken leg. | |

| Friday night as opposed to Wednesdays probably has something to do with it as well
Its definitely got me interested again though. The live aspect rocks | |

| Ya, I am even into it, and I am as big a TUF hater as anyone besides Kings. The consensus around here was this format rocked. I think it will work well with PPV buyers.

| Really though, the ratings are down because they are on WWE Smackdown turf now...accept it or reject it but there is a big crossover audience between pro wrestling and MMA. Add that to the Spike counter programming, Bellator, and Friday being an overall more competitive TV night for the desired demographic in general..you got lower ratings and they should probably move back to wednesdays. | |
