In what can certainly be seen as a surprise, this week’s season finale of Total Divas drew 1.3 million viewers, up from the 1.2 for last week’s episode.
Of course, the reason for the surprise is that the finale aired opposite one of WWE’s own Pay-Per-View events, TLC. Going head-to-head with PPVs has proven to hurt the reality show each time in the past, even when they had the aid of Keeping Up with the Kardashians for lead-in support.
In the coveted 18-49 year old demo, Total Divas did drop a tad from the 0.7 last week to a 0.6, but never fear, as that number doesn’t even match the show’s series low in the demographic.
For an E! program that is now standing on its own two feet, so to speak, that’s very good news.
