Total Divas, whatever you think of the show, is proving to be a very successful television vehicle with the audience growing every week.
The third show on Sunday did 1.67 million viewers, up from 1.53 million from last week.

It actually gained again. So, the debut actually did the lowest number? Thats different.

I saw the previews for this and wasn't interested until I saw Natalya in her underwear.
Does that make me a bad person

I can't stress enough how much I love this show. Complete insanity weekly and just so much fun.

Can't say I'm stunned. Much worse reality shows than this (and that's saying something) have gotten much higher ratings featuring things even more asinine than the Divas.

Poor Natty. Next week's is going to suck because of SummerSlam, and she's finally being featured after two weeks of Bellas and Eva Marie/JoJo.

Honestly just like any reallity sho, this one had a catch
Daniel Bryan and John Cena being huge parts of the show, coinciding with their match at summerslam? Synergy.
Plus it gets my gf To actually get to know the divas
The divas get 2 segments max on raw and smackdown. When they do get more than 3 minutes it is usually a mixed tag.
Compared to 2 years ago the divas have less time to stand out

I wish this Sunday was a repeat episode or maybe even an extra hour of the Kardashians. I am watching Summerslam so I won't be able to take part in the Total Divas chat

Obviously, this will lead to a 3 hour Total Divas show every week.

Remember how some said the show was going to be a ratings disaster? How does that crow taste?

Remember how some said the show was going to be a ratings disaster? How does that crow taste? It tastes of uncertainty. Will this mean that they'll try giving prominence to women who the crowds actually care about? Will wrestlers become a focal point? Or is it just going to mean more money and pushes for the Bellas, or these two new divas who don't know the difference between a wristlock and a wristwatch? If it's the former then I take back my negativity in regards to this show. If it's the latter, I will be reminding people of this problem for years to come.

Must have been the MMA shoot style, "going against the script" Hurricanrana that caused all the ratings. Not surprising.
I said it before, if wrestling has to change their format at all in order to meet societal trends, then it has to be done as a scripted reality show, or at least more reality show aspects. Even scripted, the general public likes to pretend that what they are seeing is real, and wrestling (the WWE, at least) stopped doing that a long time ago. Even if the Bella's lives are totally fabricated for TV, it is being presented as real, and that will draw an audience if marketed well and if the fans care about the people involved (obviously having the WWE name involved will appeal to their fanbase to begin with).

Good.
Unintentionally hilarious moments here and there aside, it's a genuinely GOOD Reality TV series with an intriguing premise, and mostly nice protagonists that aren't like the women on Jersey Shore or the Kardashians. I hope it continues for as long as it can keep up the good work.

Will wrestlers become a focal point? It would be a little odd for wrestlers to become the focal point of a program named Total Divas.
