Finally, it seems RHoNY is picking up some steam as we enter the half way stage of this 5th season. Monday’s ninth episode, built further on the previous week’s gaining an additional 46,000 viewers, as 1,553,000 tuned in to watch George’s erectile dysfunctional poke at Sonja. As for last week’s comparison, the comparable episode last season was viewed by 2.283m and so despite this week’s improved ratings the season-on-season comparison is still down 25.69% in total viewers and 34.52% in the 18-49 demo.

Last week Miss Advised received a nice bump from the 8% jump in RHoNY ratings’ lead-in and scored a respectable (and season high) viewership of 700,000. Although RHoNY this week grew further, Miss Advised plunged 28% down to 504,000, their second lowest rated episode. As the season is now 7 episodes in, with just next week’s finale left to air, they’ll no doubt stay at the 10pm slot. The following week Gallery Girls takes this slot and we wonder if they’ll be a better bump for WWHL as we’ve no doubt that Miss Advised’s poor ratings have adversely affected the ratings for the Monday WWHL episode. Only once since RHoNY came back on the air has WWHL rated high enough (Sonja Morgan’s episode on July 9th), to score a nightly Top 100 Cable Show rating, and if RHoNY had aired at 10pm that surely would have translated into much higher ratings for Andy Cohen.
