Saving the best for last, the Survivor ratings for the Game Changers finale are in, and most of the advertising stats were higher than any other episode this season.

With most scripted shows coming to an end last night as part of the traditional 2016-2017 television season,Survivor Game Changersended the 34th season of the show with a 134-minute finale. Despite the feature-length run, theSurvivorratings were higher than at any other point during the season. That includes the season premiere back in March!

TV By The Numbershas the facts and figures for Wednesday night network television, withSurvivor Game Changersearning 1.9 ratings and an 8 share from 8 p.m. ET to 10:14 p.m. ET. 8.48 million viewers were watching the finale either live or during the same day, proving to be just 10,000 viewers shy of the season’s viewership record this season, coming duringSarah’s game-winning flipon Debbie and the majority alliance.

The 1.9Survivorratings for the 18-49 adult demographic was the highest the ratings had been all season, and the 8 share happened just once prior inSurvivor Game Changers. This is a bit odd of an occurrence, as most shows start out strong, peter out in the middle of the season and return to form a little bit (but not to peak levels).

Regardless, we also had theSurvivor Game Changersreunion to look forward to, as it received 1.3 ratings and a 5 share over 5.84 million viewers. For some reason, more than two and a half million people would rather miss the reveal of Season 35,Survivor Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers,than watch Tony Vlachos and J.T. Thomas (both former winners) not get asked a question.

Still, with theSurvivorratings stats outperforming the finales ofEmpireandLaw & Order: SVUacross the board, it’s safe to say that the show will continue to have Wednesday nights on lock for the foreseeable future.
