The Scandoval brought Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules another season high in the ratings this week, according to just-released numbers.
Last night’s episode of Vanderpump Rules — which saw Katie, Lala, Kristina Kelly, Charli and Raquel on a girls trip in Las Vegas — earned a staggering 0.46 in the all-important P18-49 demo and a massive 1,078,000 live viewers in the ratings, easily making this the most-watched episode of Season 10.
Watch What Happens Live also felt the benefit of Scandoval in the ratings, bringing in 820,000 live viewers and a 0.32 share, again easily delivering a season high for the Andy Cohen-hosted late night show, according to Showbuzz Daily.
As previously reported, the March 8th episode of the series was the previous season high, bringing in a massive 0.35 in the demo and 879,000 live viewers just as the scandal was breaking. Not only did it out-rate all of Season 9, but Episode 5 was the highest-rated episode in over two years.
Seeing as Episode 6 easily out-rated Episode 5, you have to go all the way back to the Season 8 finale in May 2020 to find a higher-rated episode (0.49 / 1,342,000) but with the drama of Scandoval seemingly nowhere near its end, the Bravo series could easily top these numbers in the coming weeks — and this isn’t even counting DVR.
Tom Sandoval Cheats On Ariana Madix With Raquel Leviss: A Complete Scandoval Timeline
As previously reported, the Bravo universe is still reeling from the news that Tom Sandoval has been having an affair with Raquel Leviss behind Ariana Madix’s back and viewers are clearly interested in playing investigator with the series’ new episodes, looking for hints and clues in every scene.
Bravo will surely be happy with the ratings boost for Vanderpump Rules but it should be noted that Season 10 is currently out-performing Season 9 as is.
The Season 10 premiere opened to record-high ratings just a few weeks ago — especially once DVR and delayed viewing was taken into account — which means Episode 6 will surely see a large boost as we head into the weekend and the Scandoval news keeps on coming.
Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays on Bravo.
