Survivor: Blood vs Water: Ratings

It’s getting personal on season 27 of CBS’ Survivor. This time around returning players will be pitted against their loved ones. Survivor’s ratings have been declining over the past few years. Will this new twist cause the ratings to rise or will they fall? Time will tell.

Host Jeff Probst is back, as are 10 past contestants — Aras Baskauskas, Candice Cody, Colton Cumbie, Gervase Peterson, Kat Edorsson, Laura Morett, Monica Culpepper, Rupert Boneham, Tina Wesson, and Tyson Apostol.

The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better its chances for survival. New ratings data will be added as it becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Final season averages: 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.64 million total viewers.

Last year comparison: The Fall 2012 season of Survivor averaged a 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.42 million total viewers.

Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
