More than 700,000 extra viewers tuned into the Survivor season 35 premiere over the Game Changers debut, according to the Survivor ratings stats.
It goes to show that a long deprivation from the greatest reality competition show in television history between seasons make the heart grow fonder. TheSurvivorratings are infor Wednesday, September 27, and it looks like there’s a huge boost in the viewership of theSurvivorseason 35 premiere over that of the lateGame Changersstart this past March.
More than 8.33 million people tuned in to see Ryan Ulrich grab a Secret Advantage, Alan Ball go insane and Dr. Mike get into a confrontation with Tony 3.0 by the name of Joe Mena.You should check out our recapif you’re still interested, as those 8.33 million Live + Same Day viewers were in for an uneven, but enjoyable opening hour.
Those 8.33 million viewers topped the time slot, butEmpireremains the ratings king for Adults 18-49 with a 2.4/9 share ratio. TheSurvivorratings were 1.8/7, a tad bit up from the 1.7 rating and 6 share from theGame Changersdebut. The entire reason why we got shafted with a short episode was to provide a solid lead-in for CBS’ big show of the fall,SEAL Team,which received 9.87 million viewers to win the night.
As always, theSurvivorratings could be fairly worse than where they are and the show would be safe. The low cost of production, the familiarity of the time slot and the (likely)generous Fijian rebates that make filming in the island nation so financially prudentmeans we’re likely set through to the 2018-2019 television season.
