Total Divas ratings stay strong in the new year

The first 10 episodes of season three of Total Divas, the reality television show on the E! channel focusing on the lives of the women of WWE, struggled to consistently break an average of one million viewers each week.

Here's the breakdown:

Episode one: 1.2 million
Episode two: 974,000
Episode three: 1.18 million
Episode four: 999,000
Episode five: 1.06 million
Episode six: 882,000
Episode seven: 975,000
Episode eight: 826,00
Episode nine: 860,000
Episode 10: 1.13 million

Since returning on Jan. 4 with new cast members (Paige, Alicia Fox) and far less Sunday night competition, the show has rebounded nicely:

Episode 11: 1.41 million
Episode 12: 1.29 million
Episode 13: 1.25 million

It won't be easy to keep that up considering The Walking Dead will be returning soon but at the very least it shows that fans haven't completely lost interest in the program. Then again, considering the effect it has on WWE television (Raw and SmackDown), that may not be the best thing.
