Episode 1: 7.31 million viewers, highest of any show during the night! 1.6 rating (0.2 higher than Hunted's first episode in the same time slot last year)
Source:http://www.tvratingsguide.com/2018/01/wednesday-tv-ratings-1318-9-1-1-amazing.html
The total is higher than any TAR29 episode including +7 DVR wow!
-
It was also higher than any episode that aired on a Friday (season 25-28). So this is the highest rating since at least season 24. Great news!!
-
Modern family and the premiere of 911 did have higher 18-49 ratings which is important, but TAR shockingly beat the return of the X files on fox (1.6 vs 1.4), as well as the ABC sitcoms and the blacklist. It nearly doubled the other CBS dramas on the evening. This is undoubtedly a huge win. Hopefully it maintains relatively close to this level and CBS would have no choice but to renew it, and maybe even consider multiple cycles again.
-
Maybe we can have two seasons a year.
Please

Jess and Cody are ratings gold. 3 million bump from season 29 premiere. #yourewelcome
-
Yeah, it can't be understated how huge that 1.6 live number is. It's a big number in this day for any show. But especially huge for TAR. The TAR26 premiere that aired after Survivor on Wednesday got a 1.5 and 6.16 million viewers.
-
Those are good! The timeslot is half of TAR's battle.
Also, I've always said tv should start ASAP after the holidays. People are at home, staying out of the cold. Give them something to watch!

They are PROUD of these ratings! Excellent.
-
Jody brought a 70% increase in ratings! Wow the legends did that they are ratings gold
-
While Jody probably brought in more viewers, a jump this high in viewers was probably more to a better time slot and more advertising
-

Well sure, Jody fans are probably a significant portion of that, but a few of the other teams bring a pre-established fan base, too. And with it being on a much better night of the week.
But sure. Thanks for the much-needed boost, Jody fans!
-
Out of school week, and the hour would be my guess. Will be interesting to see how next week goes.
-
While Jody probably brought in more viewers, a jump this high in viewers was probably more to a better time slot and more advertising
Time slot definitely is a factor.. but why did they get that time slot? Because they knew they could parlay the Jess and Cody/Big brother fan base into more viewers... so even just getting the time slot was thanks to them.
And the more advertising... like 80% of CBS’ promotion has been of Jess and Cody.. they even had a CBS social employee with them all last night filming them watching the episode... and team Indy was there as well and they didn’t have any cbs rep with them ...
-
Here's what I think. The Hour first, plus the fact that school was still out.
That it was an open start with a batch of people wanting to watch themselves.
The fan base of EACH team with some celebrity.
Am sure Jody's fan base helped. But not the only factor in play.
-
Here we go... :cmas31:
Thank you 3 million Jody fans.
-
We'll never know. Just hope it stays high!
-
I just wanted to chime in that the timeslot is a much more reasonable explanation for the boost in viewers. I wouldn't argue that Jessica & Cody brought in the most viewers out of all the teams, but let's not spin everything to their glory. :cmaslol
Either way, I'm really happy and looking forward to steady viewership!
-
Jess and Cody are ratings gold. 3 million bump from season 29 premiere. #yourewelcome
jody fans still taking credit for everything huh
-
I'd argue that TAR28 had at least 3 teams with similarly sized (if not bigger), similarly dedicated fanbases as Jody who were also similarly uninterested in TAR before their team was cast. Yet there was a negligible impact on viewership.
The existing fanbases of these pseudo-celebrity teams together can certainly account for some new or returning viewers. But as has been pointed out, the Wednesday timeslot and premiering in this holiday-like week are much bigger factors for such a sizeable jump.
As huge as these premiere numbers are (and whatever the next week of DVR viewing might bring), I'll echo Peach saying that it will be interesting to see how next week goes. And the following weeks. This big premiere definitely gives TAR a much bigger cushion, especially as it heads toward the double episodes and then against the Olympics.
-
Or also, CBS needed a ready-to-go benchwarmer (which CBB also is) to fill the slot through the Olympics. And they've usually kept Survivor's slot warm with a reality/unscripted show as well.

The ratings don’t lie TARs ratings are the highest they’ve been since Jody are on it huh

You’re right the ratings went up by 3 million just because of a new time slot.... but who did CBS having doing all the promo yesterday Jody! TvParty app with the east coast and party with the Indy racers for the west coast
-
Okay...moving on now please. New line of discussion. :funny:
-
This is great news! :xmas146 Let's hope TAR30 can keep rating this high!
-
I'm not saying they had no influence at all, but to call them the only factors is plain unreasonable.
-
Keeps getting BETTER!
The Amazing Race spent last spring on the bubble, but the Emmy-winning reality veteran proved its worth last night. The 3oth season premiere of the globe-trotting competition (1.6) delivered its largest premiere audience and best key demos delivery since Cycle 23 on September 29, 2013. CBS’ scheduling decision to slot Amazing Race as a bridge between the two cycles of Survivor is paying off. The show recently aired on Thursday and Friday following a long Sunday run. Compared to the Season 29 premiere on a Thursday, The Amazing Race last night was up 70% in viewers and 78% in the demo and was Wednesday’s No. 1 program in total viewers.

Succeeding Amazing Race seasons should have a team or teams with a huge following or fanbase mix that with a regular cast. The timeslot is also good at this time making it a more family-timeslot. Hoping that the Race continues on with higher ratings for both viewership and dvr's
-
Final ratings are out and TAR stayed the same. Wow
-
Final ratings are out and TAR stayed the same. Wow
Still, just the fact that no premiere has been this high since Season 23, and no episode overall has cracked 7 million since Season 24...feeling great about the odds of renewal already!

It is not only Jody bringing in the higher viewings... We do have very famous eaters, very famous car drivers, NBA all-stars, well BB legends, and X-Game champions. There r truly contestants that every audience should know!
People were bickering about recruits but if there r good recruits, views go up!

Ok so I see people continue to repeat this fallacy that it’s the time slot.. or it’s the other racers who are more widely known. Let me break this down for you folks simply..
1. Time Slot: Amazing Race would not have this time slot of not for Jess and Cody. It’s obvious enough from comments Phil and Cody have made, as well as the slotting of TAR after Celeb B.B. once it starts. Jess and Cody had maybe the biggest % of the fan base since Dr Will and Janelle way back over a decade ago, so it’s not crazy that they’re trying to capture this audience.
2. This leads to the next point, yes Shawn Marion, Joey Chestnut, or even Alex Rossi are more nationally/globally known... and that means nothing. Why? Because their fans aren’t necessarily 1. Hyper obsessed with following their every move 2. The target market of tv viewers who would watch this type of show.
To further prove this point... if you take a look at the intro videos on Amazing Race’s YouTube channel you will see Jess and Cody’s has over 10x the views of any other team, which destroys the argument that the others who are more known are why people are watching... to go further, Jess and Cody’s video is the most watched video on TAR’a YouTube channel... EVER. 3 times more views than the nearest which was 4 years ago.
So. I hope that settles this petty debate and we can now enjoy the show and the fabulous ratings, and likely renewal thanks to Jess and Cody and their fan base. #yourewelcome
-
Only a pareto of the ratings week over week could indicate a BB couple impact, and if it is sustained. It's my understanding that it takes only one minute of viewing to be captured in ratings. So a viewer could have watched the start or the middle or the end, be counted as a viewer and then click on to something else. Too many variables to accurately measure.
It's one of those instances when it's just best to remember the sun will rise each morning regardless. And we want the sun to rise on TAR for many more seasons!

I think most everyone was fine with settling it before your post?
Jess and Cody are a big factor in the ratings- I don't think anyone is denying that. Furthermore, I think you've incorrectly inferred what others were saying- not that others had more fans than Jess and Cody, but that they had large fan bases TOO.
In regards to Jess and Cody being THE reason TAR got that time slot: their inclusion on the race probably added to the pitch to put it there, but to say that they were the only reason we're there is completely unfounded, and can't really be proven unless someone from the governing body that dictates the schedule directly says so. Even still, we can't go back in time and remove them to see if removing that factor would've changed the scheduling decision.
#yourenotjessorcody #iwillthankthemfortheircontributions #thesamewiththerestofthecast
-
Again, it's pretty amazing that all Jess and Cody fans are also Nielsen homes! Now that's amazing!
-
:cmaslol
-
I don’t think it is a coincidence that the current time slot is TAR’s original time slot. CBS now views that time as their best time slot for reality tv on CBS, and the sheer growth for TAR back in its original time slot is in and of itself proof of that.
Interesting note for the Jody fans, JSYK. There’s a YT video up that they made after returning from filming where they primarily discuss how and what they packed. While Jess confirms she only had time to watch the three most immediate seasons in that week before they left, Cody mentions that he and his family watch the first several seasons of TAR at the time. So he was familiar with the original rules, but packing never changed and that they did well. Point being, Cody was on of those original TARfans Who watch those early seasons in this very time slot. Maybe part of the point here was CBS should have left TAR in this time slot to begin with.
-
I mean, it's not like things started going bad once it moved to Sundays...
-
The ratings are further good on the time slot and even Jody fans are outstanding with praise.
-

I believe the official timeframe is 6 minutes of uninterrupted viewing to be included in the ratings.
It's silly we have to keep arguing on what caused the ratings uptick, instead of just agreeing it was a combination of all of the above. The fact remains that January is the ideal time for tv shows, as nearly all shows on the broadcast networks saw season highs last week. People are indoors watching tv in January, much less so in april-june. And the 8 pm slot is a huge help, compared to last year's awful time slot. And yes, it's likely the Big brother team had an effect as well. Let's all just be happy it showed some ratings growth, something that few shows ever get to experience once the downward slide starts.
-
The premiere episode for The Amazing Race was the 12th most watched show this week
-
Slight correction, TAR was tied for 11th in terms of 18-49 rating (it has slightly less 18-49 viewers that Ghosted which puts it at 12th in terms of viewers) and 17th in terms of overall viewers for the week.
http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/weekly-ratings/week-15-broadcast-top-25-and-network-rankings-jan-1-7-2018/
However, to put that in perspective, the last time TAR had both weekly rankings that high (to my knowledge) was the Berlin episode of TAR 22 (18-49: 10th, overall: 14th). :cmas9

CBS PRESS:
01.04.2018
“THE AMAZING RACE” DASHES TO LARGEST PREMIERE AUDIENCE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2013
30TH SEASON PREMIERE UP WHOPPING +70% IN VIEWERS,
+62% IN A25-54 AND +78% IN A18-49 FROM LAST SEASON
On a heavily competitive night with several premieres, the 30th season premiere of THE AMAZING RACE returned with its largest premiere audience and best key demos delivery since THE AMAZING RACE 23 on Sept. 29, 2013. Compared to the season 29 premiere on March 30, 2017, THE AMAZING RACE is up in viewers (+70%, 7.31 mil from 4.30 mil), A25-54 (+62%, 2.1 from 1.3) and A18-49 (+78%, 1.6 from 0.9), winning the 8PM hour in these measures. THE AMAZING RACE was Wednesday's #1 program in viewers.
-
While I realize that Jody fans all over the world would like to attribute the high ratings to Jody, I'm more inclined to think the great ratings are due to the new time slot. As inconceivable as it is for Jody fans to comprehend, there are many of us out there that do NOT like Jody (for me it would be Jessica) but will continue to watch TAR. So yes, while I have never missed an episode of TAR in 29 seasons, I am watching this season and it has absolutely zilch to do with Jody. TBH, my TAR viewing experience would be enhanced if Jessica wasn't on the show.
-
Oops, the matrix needed some work.
-
Does anyone think that CBS will put TAR back on twice a year if their ratings hold up?
-
If the ratings of the premiere episode keep steady, I would have high hopes for that!
Besides, it's airing so early this year that there's plenty of time to shoot/edit a season for Autumn.
-
Those TAR27 figures can't be right, they inadvertently used 29's numbers. It was on Friday and I think may have gotten a 1.1(ish).

As things are, it would be difficult The only way would be to compress some Survivor episodes as two hours in that time slot and rotate the two. CBS has never had a stable time slot for TAR other than this one, and they simply don’t have a clue of what else would work long-term.
-
:mas25
There is plenty of time to shoot one for late spring too.
-
How is Sundays 8pm for S10-S24 not a stable time slot?
-
How is Sundays 8pm for S10-S24 not a stable time slot?
The sports overruns in both spring and fall wrecked havoc for families wanting to watch the show or for recording the show for later viewing as well. As it’s turning out, CBS is still having that problem, and also having it’s Sunday scheduling deal with cable and premium cable airing new seasons of their hit shows in that Sunday night time slot as well.
-
NFL overruns, more often than not, actually helped TAR quite a bit, boosting TAR with a great lead in and maybe even artificially keeping TAR's numbers higher than they might have been otherwise.

Some weeks yes, other weeks not so much. But in the spring, the impact was more negative given that CBS for most of that period aired two weeks of March Madness, the Masters, and some other golf tournaments that ran way over...I can recall a few that were over an hour, and many viewers who DVRed the show got 60 Minutes and no TAR. Not to mention weeks being skipped because of special events both in the fall and spring. Wednesday’s has far fewer such problems over the earlier seasons.
-
1.4 rating for week 2. Slight drops from premieres always expected. Most other shows dropped as well.
-
Another solid week and win the night in viewers
-
Amazing Race Metrics for Episode 1 & 2. Special thanks to The Rabbi for the correction earlier. My hope is for TAR30 to sustain an overall increase to 18-48 group demographics and viewers (mil). Hopefully, this will again validate TAR's bench strength in the CBS line-up and result in more seasons.
-
Final ratings are in and the demo stayed at 1.4 but the viewers went up a little bit below 7 million. Still good ratings as The Amazing Race was the #1 show of the night in viewers
-
Another good result! Let's hope it keeps going! :cmas26

Love how the Ratings are going. I hope this is the road for more seasons and the return of double seasons a year. I think producers must note that a January start to a new season must be on the cards for future seasons + retain the timeslot.
-
Nah no need for double season two, would love to, but since TAR 29 now is considered as the best season ever on TAR history thanks to single season a year, i prefer single season.
-
I’m not sure the year long wait is as responsible as the time slot.
-
Time slot has nothing to do with the quality of a season.
-
I think what El means is that production can create better races when they're focused on creating only one a year, as opposed to trying to build two each year.
I still think the quality of the races in 2-race years are still strong enough to warrant them returning to that set up.
Especially if CBS pushes for it- that might give production more money, availability to do more/have more on future races.
-
TAR 29 was built and filmed as a part of a two season cycle.
It was not a standalone
-
Time slot has nothing to do with the quality of a season.
Time slot may have a lot to do about the ratings. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve read complaints about the different time slots TAR has endured since it was last on Wednesday’s, and how the particular time slot inconveniences viewers lives or family-time viewing.
Quality of the season hasn’t been a factor in a time slot with the sole exception of TAR 8, which had several things that worked against it, but not the casting in general, IMHO.
-
THE AMAZING RACE was first in viewers for the second straight week (6.98m) and also won Wednesday in adults 25-54 (1.9/06) and adults 18-49 (1.4/06).

I'm so glad they are touting this. I don't care we are burning 2 episodes at a time this season. More TAR on the Survivor hiatus is smart. Listen to what the viewers want CBS!
-
1.5 rating for episode 3. Up a tick from last week. Yay!

What is the viewrship?
Does it matter a bit?
-
6.8 million viewers, but to answer your other question, viewers are not important. Commercial ad rates are set based on the 18-49 rating, which is the 1.5 number I brought over. Viewers are purely for bragging rights among networks (such as the press releases that are posted), but doesn't really factor into anything.
-
This is from last week's episode (episode 2) but in the weekly ratings, TAR was tied for 17th in 18-49 viewers and 21st in overall viewers. Aside from football, TAR was CBS's 5th highest rated show of the week for 18-49 viewers. Fantastic!

This is what TV Line included in its article on Wednesday’s overnights just now:
CBS | The Amazing Race (6.8 mil/1.5) drew Wednesday’s biggest audience while ticking up in the demo. SEAL Team (6.6 mil/1.1) rose two tenths, Criminal Minds (5.6 mil/1.0) was flat.
I just think this bodes well for TAR keeping the time slot going forward. We’ll see what the later time does to this in February.

Viewers are important. That’s why CBS invests in measuring alternate platforms since so many viewers are watching through the app, online streaming services, and other forms of time shifted viewing.

You are correct, but none of those are reflected in the 6.8 million figure that watched last night, which is why I said the overnight viewers rating is fairly meaningless. Streaming the show on cbs all access is the best way to support the show, since that is easily trackable by CBS. They only get your cable view if you are a Nielsen house. In the overnight rating that is reported every Thursday morning, only the 18-49 number matters.
-
Slightly OT but I am curious about TiVo and other DVRs. Since all TiVos communicate with TiVo central, I would think it would be easy to get the number of season passes for TAR and maybe even viewings.
-
Ease of getting the data isn't really the issue. Companies could no doubt monitor what we watch with today's technology. Privacy laws are the real culprit. Nielsen homes sign away their privacy rights, which is why they estimate for all homes based on Nielsen houses. I'm not that familiar with Tivo's processes to say if they are able to share their data like that though, so maybe.

Privacy laws generally apply to government and commercial provisions are governed by contract. TiVo and other providers can and do have announced policies that permits aggregation of data such as viewing audiences for shows and networks they carry. Most people may have opted out of privacy constraints without realizing it.

We can surmise, though, that it’s somewhere between 7 and 8.5 million, since the overnights were at about 7 million, and the 25th ranked show was about 8,5 million.

DO you all know how YOU can help ratings?
DVR the show! Then within 3 days, watch it!
OR...at least let it run on mute. Do it once, then repeat as often as you can! The more the better!
GO to the free CBS site (http://www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/) and do the same online: WATCH The episodes! Or stream them sound off but do it as much as possible.
GET the CBS ALL ACCESS (http://www.cbs.com/CBS/All-Access) free7-day trial or subscribe and USE it! Same as above, the more the better.
If we ALL do this our #'s should increase.
WE NEED THIS! SO US VIEWERS PLEASE HELP!

CBS is touting winning viewers. ABC is touting Goldbergs winning the 18-49 demo. They are both very carefully worded press releases. The Goldbergs won it's half hour over Race, but TAR won the hour since the 830 ABC comedy dropped.
-
This seems a little different than what was said above, but it's clear it was another good ratings week for TAR. TAR was tied for 15th in the 18-49 viewers with a 1.5 rating. This was 4th best among all CBS shows. In overall viewers, TAR was 20th with 6.897 million viewers.

-
What needs to be pointed out, after looking at all three articles, is that none of them have live plus three data included; TAR gain .5 in the demo in week 2 just from the "plus three" and there's no reason to think there will be something similar once those numbers are out.
-
1.3 for episode 4, 1.1 for episode 5. A slightly worrying downturn since there wasn't any competition last night as the Olympics haven't started yet. We'll see if the return to a 1 hour episode helps next week.

8pm: Viewers: 6.79 million (#1), Adults 18-49: 1.3/5 (#2) Adults 18-34: 0.8/4 (#1)
8:30: Viewers: 6.62 million (#1), Adults 18-49: 1.3/5 (#1) Adults 18-34: 0.8/4 (#1)
9pm: Viewers: 5.79 million (#2), Adults 18-49: 1.1/4 (#2) Adults 18-34: 0.7/4 (#2)
9:30: Viewers: 5.36 million (#2), Adults 18-49: 1.0/4 (#3) Adults 18-34: 0.6/3 (#2)
The trend is definitely worrisome. And not only because of the Olympics, but when the show moves to 9-11pm. Those will be interesting numbers. Either people didn't know it was 2-hours or they just simply tuned out.
On that note though, I didn't watch live, but they appeared to have gone immediately straight from Leg 4 to the start of Leg 5, no breaks right? No usual "Stay tuned for the 2nd hour of The Amazing Race..." with a commercial break at the top of the hour. So I guess that would've helped alert live viewers that there was another episode/Leg/hour. Also helps with DVR as well since it was listed as a single 2-hour episode unlike last year when the doubled up episodes were edited as normal one-hour episodes and completely separate in TV listings.
Also, Fox's 9-1-1 is strong, but on par with the ABC comedy competition at 8pm which might share more audience than 9-1-1. But also, no new SVU on NBC at 9pm though.

Here is how the 18-49 demographics appear as percentage of improvement to last 4 seasons moving average (blue) and to TAR 29 (red). The improvement over TAR 29 is still encouraging and the moving average is on track. The moving average for Episode 6 is 1.04 and Episode 7 is 1.03.
-
I don't think they could've edited this any better to alert the viewers about the 2nd hour.
There were no credits, it just jumped straight into another episode. If you were interested in the show, you would've continued watching.
Seeing how much negativity both Face-Offs have amassed, I would say the task is probably the reason why many people tuned out. It's even annoying to watch for a big fan like me, and when I say annoying, I don't mean it in an exaggerated way.

Yes. Hopefully this is the only US season that uses it, and then they leave it to the versions that do it right: in the middle of the leg with a small time penalty.

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/dvr-ratings/week-16-broadcast-live-7-ratings-jan-8-14-2018/
DVR +7 ratings are out. Episode 2 went from 1.4 to 1.9 for +3 but went to 2.1 for +7
-
If the ratings of the premiere episode keep steady, I would have high hopes for that!
Besides, it's airing so early this year that there's plenty of time to shoot/edit a season for Autumn.
But I prefer TAR US doubling each legs to 2 episodes or increasing each leg to 90 minutes rather than two seasons per year, and no disaster like TAR 26 leg 1 again!
-
Americans are just used to 1 hour timeslots, I'd love episodes at 90 minutes myself, longer episodes give more chance to develop tension in situations and characters.
-
1.2 rating last night, another slight trickle down from last week's 8pm episode. (Per showbuzz daily)
Will be interesting to see the 9 pm ratings next week, coming out of big brother. The ratings the final 2 weeks against the Olympics will almost certainly be lower.
-
Deadline says:
CBS’s The Amazing Race (1.2, 6.543M) was tops in the demo at 8 PM. The reality competition inched up 6% in viewers and grew 13%, and won the slot in the 18-49 demo, though it was not able to pull out of previous week’s season low 1.2 rating in the age bracket
http://deadline.com/2018/02/9-1-1-wins-number-1-wednesday-x-files-series-low-tv-ratings-1202276081/
I'll take it!! :woohoo:
-
Good news: the show adjusted up to a 1.3 in the final ratings. Even with last week's 8pm episode. As always, source is sbd
-
I think CBS was aware of the ratings challenge TAR would face with this oddball scheduling, especially for the three weeks in February with a B.B. leadin, against the Olympics. I have no idea what I am going to do if one of my favorite winter sports with a team USA participation is on live against TAR. (Fortunately, all events will actually stream live even if NBC broadcast and cable channels aren’t, but keeping track is going to be like solving an quadratic equation.)
I’m sure a lot of everyday viewers may be in the same boat. But even NBC will repeat prime time overnight, but can you stay awake that long?
-
1.2 at 9 pm
1.0 at 10 pm (per showbuzz daily)
Down from last week as expected. Big brother scored a 1.8 at 8. Hopefully CBS has realized TAR should be an 8 pm show by now. Curious to see how much of a drop happens against the Olympics the next 2 weeks.
-
Damn, that's a bit sad. :/ I wish we kept the 8pm slot throughout this season.
-
Strange how people seem to just tune out for the 2nd hour. Happened the other week too. And it isn't necessarily the timeslot of 9pm since they did better this week than the 9pm episode the other week where people just left.
There's a BB lead-in, sure, but SVU was new last night unlike the other week. So a little more competition. :duno:
Anyway, I think CBS will make their renewal decision regardless of how TAR does the next two weeks against the Olympics. And surely they know 9-11pm isn't the best timeslot for TAR even with a BB lead-in.
-
CBS got what it needs to know from the January airings. 10pm/9pm airings have always been problematic for TAR because of its all-family viewing reputation. So the lower overnight demo numbers aren’t a surprise.....the question is how many of them show up in the plus seven.
-

My thoughts exactly. All the networks are conceding to the Olympics, so I don't think CBS will read much into the next 2 weeks if it drops. If it stays close however, that could be am even bigger vote of confidence.
-
The 9pm is terrible for families watching!
-
MAKE THOSE DVR #'s count!! If you recorded it. RUN IT!! Over and Over and Over again! Mute, Run...do your part towards our ratings! Perfectly fair!
-
What don't CBS release? 9pm IS NOT a family show???
We need to be put in an 8pm timeslot, so kids can at least watch the first half of the show!!!
-
The live+3 ratings are out for the January 31st episode and TAR finished tied for 17th for the week with a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 viewers. This was an increase of 0.4 or 31% over the live viewers alone. In overall viewers, TAR was 22nd for the week with 7.977 million viewers. This was an increase of 1.403 million or 21% over the live viewing. A decent showing in my mind.

....with 7.25 million viewers tuning in, Celebrity Edition was the night’s most watched show over second-place Chicago P.D. (1.2/5, up 21% in viewers) at 10 PM with 7.22 million.
A two-hour The Amazing Race (1.1/4) was down 15% in the demo from its one-hour 8 PM slot of January 31, but CBS still managed to match Fox for the overall top 18-49 spot with a 1.3/5. With a second-place finished to NBC’s 6.74 million, the House of Moonves had a slight lead over third-place Fox in viewers with 5.76 million to Fox’s 5.16 million.

0.9 at 9 pm
0.8 at 10 pm (showbuzz)
Season lows on both counts, unsurprisingly. Against the Olympics plus Valentine's day. Hopefully it can tick back up to a 1 for the finale, but I imagine, as we speculated last week, that CBS won't hold these middling final 2 weeks against us.
-
For the reasons you gave, I expect a huge jump in DVR ratings this week.

Even more than that were the events of yesterday...the shootings in Broward were horrific and many may have been focused on the news--and their families. It was hard to concentrate on anything other than Florida.
Deadline says the Olympics were way down and last night’s Big Brother: Celebrity Edition (1.3/5) was even with its Monday airing but down 28% from last week’s premiere – which did not face any Olympics competition. As for lead-out The Amazing Race (0.9/3), that CBS offering was down 18% among adults 18-49.
Let's see what the 3 days show...

Last night was an off night for the Olympics too. (The first Wednesday was also low for Sochi in 2014.) No marquee events last night other than pairs figure skating. But the Olympics maybe share a bigger audience with TAR than it does with BB apparently.
Regardless, I think TAR has done enough to secure it at least one more season. And at the very least as a benchwarmer again like TAR29.
-
After this season, I'm actually a lot more positive than just "we should get another season"!
-
Putting us against the Olympics was never gunna work... :furious:
-
Looking at ratings and shares for other days since the Olympics started, TAR is doing about as well against the Olympics as any other show except for The Bachelor, Celebrity Big Brother and America's Funniest Home Videos. TAR had a 0.9 rating and only those three shows were at or above 1.0 (CBB a couple of times). I'd say only losing 18% of the audience is a victory and shows a loyal fan base.
Also, the updated ratings for Wednesday are out and TAR's rating and share were unchanged though the 18-49 viewer count went up .07 million.

Are you kidding? It is working EXACTLY like CBS would have hoped. We are doing our job, even against the Olympics.

That's the update live plus same day. I'd be more interested in live plus three and live plus seven to see how much timeshifted viewing went up because of the Olympics and binge watching these final few legs.
And I agree, Peach, this has worked out as well as anyone at CBS or WRP could have hoped. This season has had a lot of the feel of the first seasons (cast, tasks, and route) and makes we think TPTB have finally gotten their full groove back that many longtime fans have been calling for, for a long time, especially how to have a strong cast.....just go out and find the most competitive pairs you can and let them go at it.

TAR had a 0.9 rating and a 3 share among 18-49 viewers. 4.27 million viewers vs. 4.05 million last week. The article below termed TAR's performance as "steady" from last week. It was the 3rd highest rated show of the night after the Olympics and Big Brother: Celebrity Edition.

TV Line also mentioned that those numbers were higher than the TAR 29 finale, which did not have an Olympics headwind running against it.
Like Peach said, and I have said, TAR is doing fine.

Here's hoping for a renewal!!! :yourock:

Here’s the live plus three adjusted numbers for the finale, per TVByThe Numbers:
http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/dvr-ratings/week-22-broadcast-live-3-ratings-feb-19-25-2018/
17 THE AMAZING RACE – F CBS 1.3 0.4 44%
16 THE AMAZING RACE – F CBS 6,022 1,676 39%
Given that the later hour and the Olympics were expected to lower live plus three, these are pretty good numbers. I’d still want to see the live plus seven.
