In Men 25-54/18-49, Discovery had all five of cable's Top 5 unscripted series, including DEADLIEST CATCH, NAKED AND AFRAID, ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE, FAST N' LOUD and STREET OUTLAWS, and four series in the top 10 unscripted original series in Persons 25-54 leading with DEADLIEST CATCH (#1), followed by ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE (#3), NAKED AND AFRAID (#5) and STREET OUTLAWS (#8).
