Later that night, an episode of the reality show attracted a series low viewership and its worst adults 18-49 number in weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, it rebounded to deliver a series high in adults 18-49 and its second best total viewership number.<\/p>\n<p>This week, it re-entered the race to the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s &#8220;Party Down South,&#8221; which was free of Winter Olympics competition but positioned head-to-head with ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Scandal,&#8221; posted a paltry 0.28 adults 18-49 rating with 526,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Trailing the numbers set by the <a href=\"http:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/02\/15\/party-south-ratings-sink-viewership-hits-series-low\/\">2\/13 &#8220;Party Down South,&#8221; which sounded alarms by drawing a 0.32 rating with just 589,000 viewers<\/a>, this week&#8217;s performance establishes a new series low in total viewers.<\/p>\n<p>The 0.28 adults 18-49 rating was the series&#8217; second worst mark.  Only the January 23 edition, which posted a 0.22 rating, delivered a weaker number.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note:  An earlier report on the 2\/13 ratings incorrectly said the episode averaged only 500,000 viewers.  That story has since been corrected to reflect 589,000, the episode&#8217;s correct viewership average.  Consequently, the above story is correct in saying the 2\/27 episode set a viewership low.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[1659,1658],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Party Down South&quot; Ratings Fall; Viewership Reaches Series Low<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The ratings seesaw continues at CMT.
