Bravo programming execs showed they’ve largely written off any chance of significantly improved ratings for this season’s rejigged RHoNY, by letting it air against sister network’s NBC’s prime-time Olympic coverage, something they didn’t allow with the previous night’s RHoNJ.

It’s almost as if the RHoNY cast were asking Bravo Execs whether this episode’s scandalous title ‘You Want to What Me in the Where?’ was in recognition of this season’s frankly dismal ratings for a once stellar franchise member. None-the-less a respectable (given this season’s ratings) 1,441,000 (demo 0.6) viewers tuned in to hear the StumbleBums shock some of the Housewives with their ode to unconventional sex practices.

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.

Ratings Relief for
the RHoNY Ladies

Finally some ratings relief for the RHoNY ladies (as well as Bravo TV execs) as the 8th episode delivered the 2nd highest audience after the premiere episode. For last night’s 9/8c airing 1,507,000 viewers tuned in and as important the 18-49 demo climbed up to 0.70. Hopefully with that larger audience seeing the extended season trailer tacked onto the end of the episode, they will have had their interest piqued and will continue to tune in each week. As it turns out the season upon season average continued its slide as the comparable episode in Season 4 was set in Morocco and was watched by just under 2.3m. Read more

Bravo Ratings for Mon 16 July 2012 – RHOC, RHoNY, Miss Advised & WWHL

RHOC Reunion Part 2
Which aired Monday 7/16

Last night, in a change to the original schedule, Bravo TV execs brought forward the 2nd part of the RHOC seventh season reunion, as an attempt to boost the ratings of RHoNY which have been badly flagging this season. Bringing it forward by 24 hours from its normal Tuesday timeslot of 9/8c to a Monday at 8/7c risked alienating some RHOC fans but it was hoped that a strong lead-in would help RHoNY gain better ratings.

In our weekly projections we estimated that RHOC would pull in between 1.7-1.9m and it beat that coming in at 1,941,000 with 0.80 in the 18-49 demo. If it had aired initially on a Tuesday it would have been expected to pull around 2.4m viewers but Bravo obviously felt it was worth a small hit to the RHOC’s season average to help its sister franchise.

Bravo Ratings for Monday July 9th, 2012 – RHoNY, Miss Advised and WWHL

at dinner in London

If last season is any guide, then after 6 episodes the Real Housewives of New York is now one third of the way through its 5th season. Like 50% of its cast, this retooled season, is still trying to it find its footing and we’re not sure whether the London trip helped or hindered that. With both Ramona Singer & Aviva Drescher staying behind in New York, the RHoNY trip lost a lot of star wattage. ‘Girly’ time in the hotel might have been fun but scenes like those, don’t exactly set ratings alight and that’s what this season badly needs.
