Despite one of the biggest sports series of the year airing Game 2 of a seven-game series, Survivor season 35 episode 5 ratings didn’t falter.
Whenever big sports events are on, even the barely interested will tune in to see athletics at its highest level of play. Game 2 of the MLB World Series may have been the craziest game in modern history, with22.7% of all extra-inning World Series home runstaking place on Wednesday night. Even against those odds, theSurvivorratings not only held strong, but the key numbers barely faltered.
Thefinal Wednesday night results are in, andSurvivorseason 35 episode 5 was watched by 8.22 million people. Surprisingly, that’s actually an upgradeover last week’s results,where 8.12 million people were watching. The key demographic of Adults 18-49 had a 1.7/7 ratings/share split, with that first number down 0.1 over last week.
Regardless,Survivor Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlersbeat any non-sports programming on the night, with onlyModern Familyowning a 1.7 rating and nothing else owning a share of active television audiences higher than 6. Furthermore,SEAL Team‘s 6.92 million viewers were bested by 1.3 million, showing that only reality competitions can truly thrive against World Series competition.
With Chrissy, Ryan and Ali thrust into the middle of a heated situation and a conflict brewing in the weeks that follow, I’m glad that perhaps one of the most remarkable baseball games in modern recollection didn’t distract from a great episode ofSurvivor.The only chance that baseball can run against this season again would be if it reached a Game 7 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros.

In that scenario, it’ll be hard to keep concentration on both at the same time.
