I Will Survive debuts with just 506,000

Network Ten’s newest reality competition, I Will Survive has struggled on its first episode.

The search for Australia’s next big star of the stage has rated 506,000 – making it the 23rd most watched show of Tuesday, according to preliminary ratings from OzTam.

However, in one sign of hope for the show, its audience rose the entire time it was on air, finishing with 688,000.

In the key advertising demos, I Will Survive show did better. In the 16-39 demos it placed 13th across the night. In the 18-49 it placed 14th and in 25-54 it placed 16th.

Winning the night was second episode of Seven’s The X Factor on 1.526m.

The show was down slightly on Monday’s debut of 1.6m. The show clearly won across all key advertising demos.

In the first real comparison of Nine’s new Big Brother, last night’s show rated 1.017m and 9th for total viewers, down on the show’s second episode last Tuesday, which rated 1.327m.

In the key advertising demos, the show was second in 16-39, third in 18-49 and fourth in 25-54.
