On the train wreck that is FOX, Knock Knock Live premiered DOA, with a 0.5 A18-49 rating. The network thought that airing the So You Think You Can Dance? clip show this week in hopes that it will boost the ratings would work. But it did not, and that's why the show is a Certain Cancelation.

In order to accommodate the new show, FOX decided not to air Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? this week. Some reports are stating that the show was pulled off the schedule. Regardless, it's enough for my prediction to downgrade to "certain to be canceled" for the struggling game show.

On a positive note, BattleBots has been steady in the ratings, which is enough for me to upgrade it to a Likely Renewal this week. Also, the observant will note that Celebrity Family Feud was upgraded to "certain to be renewed". With the ratings that it has been getting, it's clearly not going anywhere. 

To no one's surprise, MasterChef was renewed for a seventh season.
