The peacock network is no doubt very pleased with the return of Fear Factor. The reality series debuted quite strongly, particularly opposite the CBS sitcom line-up, and outperformed the Sing Off finale by more than 200%. Viewership held steady throughout both episodes, a good indication that most viewers will return next week.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
