Since MSTV is scheduled to do the ratings for the new timeslot premieres of Clue and Double or Nothing, I'd be interested to see what predictions you think both of them will get. Clue is getting a more premier timeslot and is getting a big push which it has never gotten before, but it is in a tough(er) timeslot. But viewers are used to watching hit reality shows in the timeslot (see: Double or Nothing/Singing Superstar 3) and NTB has been airing reality in this hour since it started two years ago.
Double or Nothing is moving to a less-watched night, but as we have seen on the night, this can still be a big night for net TV as Clue has scored well over 12million viewers in that timeslot for the past few weeks. Plus, DoN finally has a lead-in in the still-dominant How Much is Too Much?
Predictions?

Those are underwhelmingly low predictions for Clue. If it can get a 5.0 on a Saturday, it should really be able to grow on Mondays. It has no reality competition.

I was thinking how much harder it will be for it on Mondays, especially demographically. But I don't know. I think Clue was doing so well because its summer audience who watches it on Saturday kept watching it. It could do well. If it were to hurt a show it would be Double or Nothing.

This just proves how unrealistic this game is. It gets a 5 on Saturdays, but a 4 on Mondays?

COMPETITION! Yeah ratings are lower on saturdays but in the game we don't want them so low that it's no fun to schedule.

Monday timeslot would increase your ratings for that slot and Monday ratings are considered more important than Saturday. It would probably have more room for growth their too. Nothing on Saturdays in our game surpasses 14 million viewers.
I used to have American Actor on Mondays and it didn't increase.

It would increase it by less than half a million. And Saturday and Monday are equal in this game. It would bring my avg down

Saturday and Monday aren't equal. Look at the averages, if it had been done before the premiere it would have helped more. It was also done with less than a week before the move which could be confusing to audiences. In the long-run it would probably be helpful, but it's still a risk like most timeslot moves.

Clue grows over the season, it will start lower on Monday but will def. grow over the weeks. DoN could also improve on it's ratings.
