Ratings slip in week eight of TUF XI.

The numbers took a drop this week as episode eight did a 1.0 with an ave audience of 1.3 million.

General thinking is that the NBA playoffs damaged TUF as the Lakers/Suns game drew over seven million viewers.

I am betting next week will be one of the bigger drawing episodes of the season as the promo announces Tito pulling out of the Liddell fight, we get two fights and there is a confrontation between the coaches.

Thus far, this is the strongest season since TUF V with Pulver and Penn.
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
