Ratings: Survivor on Par With May Finale, Once Enters Break on Low Note, Betrayal Sees Bump
The Nielsen tribe has spoken, and Survivor: Blood vs. Water‘s two-hour Sunday finale drew 10.2 million total viewers and a 2.6 demo rating — on par with last May’s Caramoan closer (10.2 mil/2.7) but down from a year ago’s Philippines finale (11.5 mil/3.2).
As for the reunion special, BvW did 7.7 mil/1.9 vs. Caramoan‘s 8.1 mil/2.2 and Philippines‘ 8.8 mil/2.3.
CBS’ numbers are subject to extra-change due to a NFL-related delay in some markets.
