Season so far:
Episode 1: 1.5 rating with a 2.1 in M18-34, 1.8 in M18-49 and an ave aud of 1.9 million.
Episode 2: 1.2 rating with a 1.9 in M18-34, 1.54 in M18-49 and an ave aud of 1.5 million
Episode 3: 1.3 rating with a 1.63 in M18-34, 1.53 in M18-49 and an ave aud of 1.6 million.

One interesting note is that the key demos have seen drops, but the audience is up slightly. That suggests new viewers coming from other age (and pos gender) groups.

Here is a look at where TUF 9 (10 was Kimbo and thus way higher than all other seaons) was at this point:
1 1.3 rating with a 2.1 in M18-34, a 1.8 in M18-49 and an ave aud of 1.8 million.
2 1.1 rating with a 1.3 in M18-34, a 1.2 in M18-49 and an ave aud of 1.5 million.
3 0.9 rating with a 1.13 in M18-34, a 1.2 in M18-49 and an ave aud of 1.2 million.

If TUF were to maintain a 1.2 for the season, it would be a slight step up. Odd are we will see some drops over the course of the season and maybe even a peak when Tito does leave. As long as the ave is a 1.0 or better, the show is safe.
