I have got to admit, I did some spring cleaning on my page.

Last week, Extreme Weight Loss has declined to a series low 0.6 A18-49 rating. The continuing decline for Extreme Weight Loss, especially for the Love Can't Weight episodes, show that the show's chances of renewal are slim at best. Therefore, the show will be downgraded to a Certain Cancelation, joining the CW's woefully rated Cedric's Barber Battle.

The declines in both Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? and Boom! ratings tells me that clearly, game shows are becoming a thing of the past. The shows have been downgraded to likely canceled.

Hollywood Game Night premiered to steady ratings, but it's too early to make a prediction for renewal. I'll predict it at a Toss Up for now.

Celebrity Family Feud has been steadily rising in the ratings. This week, it's been predicted as likely to be renewed, especially since it is the highest rated show on ABC for this week. BattleBots remains a Toss Up, however especially since it has pulled consistent ratings, but not great enough for renewal.

Bachelor in Paradise returns August 2 on ABC.
