The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
12/15 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The 31st season of Survivor (Fall 2015, Second Chance) averaged a 2.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.88 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Survivor TV series? Do you think it should be renewed for season 34 on CBS?
I love survivor and have never missed a show! Please keep casting and running the show! I would not know what to watch without having survivor on Wednesday night!
Please please renew Survivor. I have watched every episode since day 1 and I can’t imagine not have Survivor as part of my television viewing. It will be like a death. 🙁
We love Survivor and have dinner together with six adult family members before we watch. We hate when the season ends!
Still love the show. Have a Survivor Party every week!
