Andy Cohen took to his radio show to discuss the negative press around the Vanderpump Rules reboot.
The rümors and the nastiness:
“[People are saying,] ‘The ratings are so bad for Vanderpump Rules,’” began Andy.
“First of all, you don’t know the ratings for Vanderpump Rules. We don’t look at live ratings. I haven’t looked at a live rating for anything on Bravo.”
The transition to the digital age is why Andy isn’t tracking live ratings. “You know what the live ratings are? Hashmarks.”
“It’s delayed; it’s DVR; it’s Peacock. This is how [we] measure [its success]. It’s not about the live ratings anymore.”
What Bravo is SURving for VPR season 12:
The new season of VPR stars Marcus Johnson, Natalie Maguire, Shayne Davis, Kim Suarez, Venus Binkley, Jason Cohen, Chris Hahn, Angelica Jensen, Audrey Lingle, and Demy Selem.
Lisa Vanderpump boasted that the new cast are “available emotionally to share the vulnerabilities. There’s some very interesting personal stories here. They’re lovely; they’re excited; they’re hungry; they’re working here.”
“I don’t really want to do a show that kind of branches off. It’s about the restaurant business, and it’s about their lives and how they work together. I think that’s a great nucleus to have. So they’re there with each other, because they have to be. That drives [the] story as well.”
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
