By contrast to JoeM2's dismal ratings, NBC's two reality offerings fared much better. Fear Factor recorded an 8.1/12 from 8-9 PM and won the night among adults 18-49. And even Average Joe managed an average 7.3/ 11.
The dismal failure of his show, coupled with the disastrous ratings for Temptation Island 3 over the summer leads us to wonder if we aren't witnessing the end of Rocket Science Laboratories, which produced both shows. Too bad it didn't take our advice and not go to the well one last time.
