Ghosted was up against Sunday Night Football, which won the night, and Wisdom of the Crowd, which scored a similar rating 1.4 rating.
Ghosted live-streamed Twitter and was available to watch on fox.com last week ahead of the broadcast premiere this past Sunday, October 1st. Robinson and Scott were tweeting ahead of and during the premiere, encouraging fans to engage with them on social media. Scott boasts 1.4 million followers on Twitter.
