Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules hit a season high in the ratings amid the shocking affair going on between stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss.
Episode 5 jumped to a massive 0.35 in the P18-49 demo and 879,000 viewers, making this the highest-rated episode of Pump Rules Season 10 according to just-released numbers. This is up quite a bit from last week’s season low (0.24 / 648,000) and the highest-rated episode for the series since Part 3 of the Season 8 reunion back in 2020 (0.36 / 1,055,000), meaning this episode out-rated all of Season 9.

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 5 will surely see a large boost as we head into the weekend and the Scandoval news keeps coming.
Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays on Bravo.
