In April 2013 Bravo Media announced their 2013 slate of new and renewed programming and we’re afraid that Life After Top Chef wasn’t on it.

Squeezed in between the finale of Top Chef Masters’ 4th season and the upcoming premiere of Top Chef Seattle (Season 10), comes Life After Top Chef which features four TC alumni Richard Blais and Spike Mendelsohn from Season 4, Fabio Viviani (Season 5) and Jennifer Carroll (Season 6).
In October 2009 Bravo announced that Bethenny Frankel, Christian Siriano and Fabio Viviani had all been tapped for spin offs. As any Bravo Ratings reader knows, Bethenny’s spin off lasted three seasons. Christian Siriano’s series was scrapped but Bravo did manage to get a one hour special from it but until Life After Top Chef nothing has ever eventuated out of Fabiano Viviani’s deal, until now.

The finale episode was viewed by 1,018,000 and scored a 18-49 demo rating percentage of 0.50. With a growth in viewers over the previous week’s 9th episode of some 27%, on the face of it, that’s seems a pretty decent result. As always the devil is in the details. Read more
