A few things we should mention: the ratings tend to stay stead for at least 3 or 4 episodes before they fall, meaning I’d expect to see 1.3 for another 2 weeks, possibly three. The premiere was pretty well received overall, so if people hear that it was good, it might even cause the numbers to tick up (but I wouldn’t hold my breath). After that, typically, we lose .1 every other week or so.
So, if we were to make a really broad prediction:
5×12 – 5×14: 1.3
5×15-5×16 : 1.2
5×17-5×18: 1.1
From there it might tick up slightly because the hype for the finale is happening. However, everyone might want to prepare to see a 1.0 by seasons end. If it goes below that…well, we already have a S6 but if it goes below a 1.0, I’d say we’re getting a 12 episode S6, 6 episodes in the fall and 6 in the spring.
