We're in the heat of the season of TV renewals and cancellations. And while the people behind the shows are awaiting the networks' decisions, viewers are also feeling the tension.

While Business Insider has already weighed in on the shows that we predict are going to be canceled, it's interesting to see what viewers are thinking (and worrying about).

Business Insider partnered with Amobee Brand Intelligence — a company that provides marketing insight and measures real-time content consumption across the internet — to find out which TV shows are most mentioned on social media as "on the bubble," which means the shows that are in danger of being canceled.

Here are the shows that people think are most in danger of being canceled:

DON'T MISS: 18 TV shows you're watching that are probably going to be canceled

10. "Elementary" (CBS)

The clues for the cancellation of "Elementary" are all there and the viewers are clearly picking up on them. While CBS has been the most-watched broadcast network for years, its audience traditionally steers older than the under-50 crowd advertisers are aiming for, so it doesn't have much patience for low-rated shows, and "Elementary" is the network's lowest-rated returning show.

The network may let it finish its current fifth season because that makes it ripe for syndication sales. But it may not be worth keeping for a sixth.

9. "2 Broke Girls" (CBS)

People are probably seeing red flags for "2 Broke Girls" because it wasn't included in the 18 show renewals CBS announced in March. The fact is that "2 Broke Girls" has lost nearly 18% of its audience from last year and that's bad news. The good news is that CBS has plenty of other shows it needs to ax before "2 Broke Girls."

8. "Sleepy Hollow" (Fox)

It isn't hard to see that "Sleepy Hollow" should have been put to bed after its low-rated third season. Fox renewed the show anyway, with a pretty major reboot, but it didn't work. It's Fox's lowest-rated show, and it has lost nearly 40% of last season's audience.
