Fresh off last week’s Season High ratings, Patti Stanger’s Millionaire Matchmaker dropped back down this week with almost one quarter of last week’s viewers staying away. Episode 11 (S05E11) gained an audience of 1,072,000 people aged two years and over (18-49 demo 0.50) for its 10pm airing, dropping it below its sixth season average of 1,118,000 viewers (demo 0.52).

On the back of last week’s great ratings, Bravo Media have decided to schedule an additional episode of Matchmaker this week, with Episode 12 airing this Thursday March 28th, also at 10pm. We’re guessing that that was designed to give Andy Cohen’s Thursday edition of WWHL a better lead-in than it has had from repeats of various other Bravo programming, but with last night’s 1m viewer lead-in not helping WWHL which featured Kathy Griffin, score a placement in the Nightly Cable Top 100 TV shows, we wouldn’t expect it to help that much on Thursday, when many of Matchmaker’s fans may be oblivious to the schedule change.

This week was pretty eventful for Bravo Ratings as RHoBH faced off against Dancing With The Stars, Patti Stanger hit season high ratings and Brad Goreski out-rated his former boss & now arch-nemesis Rachel Zoe. In late night; Sunday’s Fashion Queens debuted strongly, Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live ratings grew 7% week-on-week and even Kathy Griffin came off her season lows.

Without a doubt the biggest news of the week was The Rachel Zoe Project’s ratings falling below those of It’s A Brad, Brad World on Wednesday. Now a source “close to Zoe” has reportedly complained to Radar Online, that this is all the fault of Bravo Executives and stated:

Rachel thinks it was a very calculated maneuver by Bravo to run Brad’s show after hers, and thinks it’s negatively impacting her fashion empire. Brad has been portrayed in the press in a very sympathetic way, and an all around nice guy. Rachel believes that Brad’s show running after hers is just a negative reminder to their bad break-up when he quit working for her to embark out on his own.

Bravo PR Confirms Patti Stanger’s Season High Ratings for Millionaire Matchmaker S6

Millionaire Matchmaker

Scoop by Bravo

Tuesday night’s Millionaire Matchmaker saw it hit season high ratings for this sixth season as S06E10 scored 1,415,000 total viewers, 824,000 aged 18-49 and the one number we hadn’t previously reported; 918,000 viewers aged 25 to 54.

In the press release, detailed in full below, Bravo Media state that Millionaire Matchmaker is showing a 13% growth over Season 5 after 10 episodes based on Live plus Same Day Nielsen data. Our analysis shows it’s a little less than that; a 10.69% increase, although that might be down to rounding issues. None-the-less, this is a very good season for Patti Stanger and places her firmly in position to be renewed for a seventh season to air in 2014. Read more

To call Bravo Media’s Bravo Ratings a weekly slide that starts with the high of The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Sunday at 8pm and ends with the dismal ratings of Kathy at 11:3opm on Thursday, would be an understatement. To be fair, Kathy Griffin having ratings that low at 11:30pm, isn’t as bad as when she was getting similar numbers when she previously held the 10pm time slot. Read more

Updated 30 March 2013 to include the finale episode S02E12 starring Kristen Chenoweth, Eva Longoria and Josh Groban. This season closed out averaging just 417,167 viewers of which 231,583 were aged 18 to 49 years (18-49 demo 0.20). This compares most unfavorably with her first season, which averaged 721,417 total viewers, 451,667 aged 18 to 49 (Demo 0.40). The one bright spot Griffin can take I suppose, is that the final episode of this season drew 500,000 viewers whereas the final episode last season could only muster 499,000!

Season Summary

We were as shocked as anyone when back in July 2012, Bravo Media commissioned a second season of Kathy, as let’s face it the first didn’t rate very well at all. In our article accompanying the press release, we wrote:

In the 1st season of Kathy; the ratings for the first 8 episodes with Kim Zolciak’s Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding as its lead-in, averaged 770k with 0.80 in the 18-49 demo, but that dropped to 570k and 0.23 demo once that strong lead-in was lost. So, providing that Season 2 episodes air after a comparable show to DBTFTW, then presumably Bravo will be satisfied with that 3/4 of a million viewers. TV success is not only about ratings and we dare say that the commissioning of this 2nd season is a reward for Kathy’s most recent Emmy nomination.
