Total Divas ratings back under 1 million viewers for episodes 6 & 7

The roller coaster that has been the season three ratings of WWE and E! Network's reality television showcase, Total Divas, continued with the sixth and seventh episodes that aired this past Sun., Oct. 12, 2014.

For whatever reason, the decision was made to do a double shot and run back-to-back new episodes. The show was up against the likes of the season five premiere of The Walking Dead and the numbers took a hit, dropping back down under 1 million viewers.

Episode six drew 882,000 viewers (and a 0.4 in the coveted 18-49 demographic) while episode seven drew 975,000 viewers (and a 0.5 in the 18-49 demo).

There will be another double shot next week but the competition will be stiff for the remainder of this season.

Here's how the numbers look so far this season:

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
