Hearing Beat the Chefs will be back in November but we'll see. Its numbers are at the level GSN has usually canceled shows. They canceled Lingo 2011 and 1 VS 100 for the same amount, and what makes this even worse is it's losing 2/3rd of its lead in, and that's obviously a gigantic strike against it. But I think you're going to see that with practically every show that's not Steve Harvey's Feud. Curious to see how Pyramid did after Bible Challenge, though. I can't see it doing any better. I don't think any show beyond Feud will do well out of it. Bible Challenge has its devoted group and the second that it ends they turn the channel. It's not the network's typical audience.
I'm also hearing Pyramid is in limbo right now. It's also at 1 VS 100/Lingo 2011 levels and neither of those came back. If we go by past trends, it's going to be both very, very close and because they have nothing else to air. It's actually following the same exact pattern that Challenge's revival of Blockbusters had. Incredibly good start with incredibly good numbers but they take a nose dive a week or two after once people realize it's the same show they stopped watching a decade ago. To be captain obvious for a moment, it'll just depend how the rest of its run goes and how much ineptitude viewers can take. They've clearly front loaded the show to have the better games first and the awful ones later (watch out for Nick Turturro, it's brutal). A lot of that is going to depend on how much people can tollerate celebrities getting next to nothing, or literally nothing, from the Circle.
Edit: Like two minutes ago numbers for September 10-16 came out. Pyramid averaged 336,000 in its 6:00PM debut slot. Beat the Chefs 9PM debut slot was 330,000.
