Despite paying $600,000 per episode for the cable syndication rights of HBO's "Entourage," Spike's airings of the Hollywood insider comedy aren't blowing up the ratings versus its time slot last year, reports the Hollywood Reporter.

Airing on Tuesday nights with back-to-back episodes , the show has drawn an average of 630,000 viewers, off 15% from repeats of "Ultimate Fighter Unleashed" that aired in the time slot last year.

In the adult 18-49 year-old demo, however, the show is up 4% compared with "Ultimate Fighter."
