Not only is Ghost Island episode 3’s Survivor ratings surpass anything else shown on CBS on Wednesday night, but nothing else even got a rating of 1.0!
I was concerned after the two-hour premiere ofSurvivor Ghost Island. Considering Jacob Derwin and Stephanie Gonzalez rubbed viewers the wrong way (from a consensus standpoint, not a personal one), I had wondered how theSurvivorratings would react in kind. If a season starts off on the wrong foot, the negativity could snowball from there.
Thankfully, all concerns were trivial, asTVByTheNumbersreported the finalSurvivorratings forGhost Islandepisode 3 and proved what we’ve come to know each and every week; CBS reality comes out on top for the night. In the key 18-49 adult demographic, the show received a 1.7/7 rating/share split for live + same day viewing, which ties thetwo-hour debut last week.
However, one thing to note is that close to 40,000 more people watched week two over the premiere. 8.23 million people watched the first major blindside of the season, as we’ve seen twice this season that reversing aSurvivorcurse is harder than it looks. Not only do we have likable characters, but we’ve seen just how strategic they can be with the swapped tribe dynamics.
Nothing else could compete with theSurvivorratings once more, as only9-1-1on FOX came close at 9 p.m. ET. Its 1.6/6 rating/share split represented second-best for the night, whileChicago PD’s6.62 million viewers marked the second-most viewed program on television for Wednesday.

From now until at least the end of March,Survivorwill continue to air one-hour episodes that will lead us right to the merge ofGhost Island. With the exciting play of the last episode, it will be interesting to see how the viewing audience responds. The 18th-place player was certainly a middle of the road candidate to win the game, and losing her might cause some people to turn off their televisions next week.
