$10 Million Bigfoot Bounty Friday Night Rating (Update: Show's Ranked #37)


Oh, snap! Guy Edwards at BigfootLunchClub.com just reported that the new SpikeTV show, $10 Million Bigfoot Bounty did not fare too well at all in the ratings last Friday night. In fact, the show didn't even make it on the top 100 list! Edwards tries to make sense of it all:

Why didn't Bigfoot Bounty fare better? Is it because it was a debut episode? No, Helix was a new series that debuted on SYFY and it broke the top 30 with a viewership of 1.8 million. Is it because there wasn't a good lead-in episode prior to Bigfoot Bounty? Again, no. Spike TV actually did really well during the hour and a half block prior to Bigfoot Bounty. COPS which is what Spike TV airs prior Bigfoot Bounty did make it to the top 100.

With Rick Dyer's "Bigfoot Dummy" making headline news across the country, the ratings for a Bigfoot show like Bigfoot Bounty should have been spectacular, right? It's hard to tell what happened, but we enjoy the show and we hope the ratings pick up.

[Update] We received word from a SpikeTV producer that the ratings list on zap2it.com is outdated. Bigfoot Bounty actually ranked #37 on the list.

[Update #2] We messaged Guy Edwards about the ratings, and he clarified with us what he actually said on his post: "For all day they don't break 100. For prime time they are actually #35. For the time slot there are about ten shoes that beat them including a rerun of Full House."

  1. Hmmmm wonder why know one watched a Mythical Monkey show on a Friday night? Could it possibly be that normal down to earth people don't believe this crap? It will be another show like Finding Bigfoot... NOTHING EVER HAPPENS

  2. This is bad for the show considering that it wasn't exactly dumped into its time slot...Cain was on the Today Show and other higher-profile programs promoting it.

  3. Dyer is dying down. He peaked too soon. No one's going to put up with "press conference" delays throughout 2014 while he parades his overstuffed jackalope either.

  4. Update update: that's among prime time shows. It didn't make the top 100 shows that aired that day.

  5. Oh say it ain't so that an overhyped game show wannabe trying to outdo Finding Bullsh*t didn't get the peeps all excited.
    Poor Rictor. Whatever will the queen do? Oh I know. Bash everyone else like the loser dramaqueen he is.

  8. That show sucks sack. Its a game show. Who's gonna be eliminated. Who will be back next week. Just like that turd on a stick tattoo show. Same idea. The suits at Spike/MTV networks are morons. This I know. Have been in association with them since the beginning.

  9. As a skeptic, I loved the show. It beat the snot out of finding Bigfoot. Any Friday night show is going to struggle to find an audience. Guarantee this show will finish stronger and be back for a 2nd season but it won't be on a Friday night.

  10. Ten shoes that beat them?!?! Now that's going to leave a mark!

  12. people are prob smart enought to know you cant find bigfoot on a gameshow. Had they done it in the context of a documentary of true reseachers it might have stood a chance.

  15. I like watching the Finding Bigfoot show, as lame as it is..... but this bigfoot bounty one is so bad it left a weird taste in my mouth.

  16. I loved it!! I hope they use guns more. It will be great when they shoot each other.

    The wise,old black man seems like he gets it. He knows he is surrounded by crazy white people. So if he says just crazy enough shit he will do well. Get too crazy and you embarrass yourself in front of tens of people. Stay too sane and you lose out on the loot.

    1. I'm with you on that--load 'em up with firepower, see who is the last person standing. Lots more shooting and explosions please.

  17. They got beat by Full House reruns? I'm not surprised. John Stamos's hair should never, EVER be underestimated. And they have the Olsen aliens to boot. You can't compete with fire power like that.

    1. I would like to get beat by the Olsen twins. Wait, did I say that out loud?

  18. I still think that cross-eyed girl next to Dean Cain is kind of hot. Not the one with the mohawk, the other one.

  19. If Dyer has a bigfoot body why does'nt he contact Spikes 10 Million dollar Bigfoot show. instead he's taking it on the road like a circus side show. --Probably because it's not real. He would rather bilk people out of their money,until someone proves he a fake.

  21. What the fuck is wrong with the Spike T.V. producers? They surely didn't think this show through! All viewers, that have 1/2 a brain can see right through this show1 Everybody knows they will not find a Big foot this way

    They should had only 3 teams with 3 "researchers" each and have on Team each in Oregon, Washington and California, They should stay out for 3 weeks, have a base camp, and search for Big foots the entire time Day or night. The Judges could visit each team, once a week to check their progress.
    It would make for a more realistic show!
    Just saying, what the fuck do I know?

    1. You're right that it would probably make for a more realistic show... BUT that would mean a camera crew would have to be with each team to catch the best (most interesting/dramatic) moments for TV... and I kind of doubt SpikeTV has the resources to give each team a camera crew.

      That said, even though I know they won't find a sasquatch, I actually still really enjoy this show, as it is testing the skills that these folks would need to actually be successful in finding conclusive evidence for the creature. And I'd like to think it is teaching the viewers (as well as the contestants) how to properly collect DNA, record audio/video evidence, etc. Because in the end, that's what it's all about with this sasquatch mystery... presenting evidence that scientists can't refute.

    2. Anon from 5:15 again, I missed the part where you said there ought to be only 3 teams. I can definitely see that being more feasible for camera crews to cover. Sorry about that
