Primetime Cable Ratings: August 22, 2017

The season finale of FACE OFF was soft collecting a little more than a half a million viewers and just a 0.2 demo rating, at 9 PM. At 10 PM, was the series premiere of FACE OFF: GAME FACE and the numbers only got worse, taking in just 410,000 viewers and a 0.1 rating in the A18-49 demographic.

MTV's rebooted FEAR FACTOR season finale did similarly poor numbers, keeping 460,000 viewers and a 0.2 demo rating, out of THE CHALLENGE, which drew 830,000 viewers and a0.5 demo.

And continuing with finales, WRECKED did much better, saving 1.1 million viewers, along with a 0.4 demo rating. But that was only half of its lead in audience, from the 10 PM BIG BANG THEORY, on TBS.
