According to live+same-day data posted by Showbuzz, the show drew a 0.70 adults 18-49 rating, apparently worse than ever, reported Headline Planet.
The data implied that this year's opener was actually the least-watched premiere since early in the show's run.
On the other hand, it outdrew the majority of non-premiere episodes from season 12 - including the November 20, 2016 season finale (1.14 million).
