ATL ‘Housewives’ Ratings Double Over Two Weeks

Sandra Rose October 23, 2008

It pays to be a bitch.

Bravo’s pompous ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ is benefiting from all that negative press heaped upon the show after it premiered three weeks ago.

The show’s ratings have doubled in just two weeks from 656,000 for the premiere to 1.32 million who saw Tuesday night’s episode. That is up from 1.184 million last week.

Additionally, nearly 7.2 million people saw the show from October 13 to October 19.

Atlanta ‘Housewives’ is already doing better than than ‘Real Housewives of New York,’ which averaged 864K viewers through three episodes vs. 1.05 million for ‘Atlanta.’ Season three of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” averaged 1.3 million viewer, concluding with 2.018 million in January.

It’s human nature to look at a train wreck.

Its ok to watch…its not like we have a variety of GOOD television to tune in to….its more like BETTER than NOThing to watch at all. However, Kudos on the ratings ladies.
shunda

I still watched.. hey It was funny. NeNe needs her own ghettofab show because she is hillarious. When she said I guess you can get a grammy for humming (talking about Kim’s singing) I was cracking up
iscream

Did anybody see when the white girl (sorry don’t know her name) said she was 29! I don’t even understand where her money comes from? She married her high school sweetheart. Is “big daddy” tricking to the point that she can live such a lavish life. If so goodness I hope she got some good knee pads bc if he leaves her life as she ans kids know IS OVER.

& Dallas Austin was looking @ her like she was crazy playing those whack azz songs. & how you a singer and your friends of many years NEVER heard you sing. She is as much a singer as she is 29.

I have yet to watch one episode due to all the negativity
shunda

When she said 29 I almost fell off my couch. I am 28 and she looks old. If she is 29 I must look 8
Krysi J

29!!! Tell me you lying ^^^^….I’m 27 and if she is 29, then I must look 17? All of them have to be lying about their ages…Im sorry, cause Sheree says she’s 38 too right. Thats another LIE!

I’ve seen all the shows and have just given up on all these women. lol

They are the most materialistic and shallow people I’ve ever seen – well, almost. I mean, none of them, except with the exception of Lisa (who still probably only gained from her husband’s wealth) do any damn thing except spend money and boost their esteem by what they have.

I mean, they are hilarious to watch, especially NeNe, but seriously, they are just really sad azz women. If you have money, you don’t have to scream it from the rooftops – trust me, people know.
katgirl33

I have heard that this is the worst housewives show they have ever came out with.

I heard that most of the women are hot ghetto messes, and the one that’s not acts like she’s Queen….

Not interested.
keely107

Not being funny, I do love the kids, but ya’ll look at her daughter! She looks old in the face, she may very well be 29.
iscream

& Wendy Willaims had them on her show. When they left she spoke about NeNe being Cock eyed. Damn if the whole hour I wasn’t watching them damn eyes. Something is up with them not sure what.

& lol @ the Grammy comment NeNe is a nut.
PAGESINADIARY

IM NOT SURE WHY BECAUSE THE SLOW IS SLAW!!
candycane

I’M STILL NOT WATCHING THAT SHIIT!
pinky2083

I gotta admit I like the show and I don’t know why. I do like seeing NeNe’s crazy ass though..
MzDetermined

I actually like the show…the women are getn it. I especially like NeNe she is a fool.

@ #2 – I BELIEVE SANDRA’S COMMENT WAS FOR HER….

It pays to be a bitch.

LOL
Naima

I think the difference between this is and the other housewives shows is that people, including myself basically laugh at how delusional some of these women get. NeNe and Lisa are the only ones who are not delusional. I will be watching next week to se that ‘bama Deshawn tries to pull off a million dollar fundraiser in 2 weeks.
iscream

Oh my damn… they stared ****out the word
C O C K in the cockedeye.. Lazyeye, wondering eye I can’t see too good out this eye.

Whatever it is NeNe has it.

& I don’t think her dad is her dad. I think her husband is her dad.
avidreader

Maybe they have Sandra to thank for their ratings! LOL

This show makes me laugh! I love Nene! She’s like the loud ghetto fabulous friend that you love anyway!

I watch weekly…not gonna lie!

The white chick is a damn 28 year old lie. That biatch is 40 and up! She made me mad talkin about some why am I beibg loyal to Nene.

Nene is the realest of them all…I hope she gets cussed out.
http://myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

Ohhhh Nene does have that Musiq Soulchild eye…

That’s my girl tho!
shunda

Hey all my Ohio peeps did ya’ll know that Eric Snow is from Canton? He is playing for the home team even though he is not a major player. I am hoping that DeShawn does raise the million dollars just because I can’t stand Sheree and her comments.
http://myspace.com/diva_mama2 DivaMama

I watched it one time and I like Lisa – she may have gotten her money from her husband, but she is doing something with it other than just spending it on junk and frivolous things to show off. At least that’s the impression that I got from the one show that I saw. Nene is cool, too, she seems like some chicks that I was cool with around the way. And the white chick is wearing a wig, isn’t she? WHY?
kwallace577

DEAD @ divinebrown and musiq soulchild eye.

i think i can get away with just commenting on yalls comments….heelarious.
MIZZ.I_REP_ATL

Yeah, I kinda fell back a lil when Kim stated she was 29 Mmy damnself. I was like, “NAW….U MOST DEFINITELY LYIN’ 2 YOSELF AND AMERICA!” And tho the women are pretty arrogant, I still enjoy watching it.(ITS ENTERTAINING. And I can’t wait to see how DeShawn’s fundraising goes, I wish her the best, but from the previews, looks like it’s not going to be a GOOD turnout.

And did any1 else notice that THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY R MAKING ANOTHA COMEBACK FOR ANOTHA SEASON? WTH?
shay1

DivaMama – I dont think its a wig just alot of added hair….its a mess!
http://myspace.com/diva_mama2 DivaMama

LOL, shay, it is definitely a MESS!!! Looks like a lot of synthetic horror going on there!
http://myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

The white chick has the worst weave of all!

That shiet looks like synthetic hair..all shiny!

She shouldve spent some of that Escalade money on a good Weaveologist! She needs a consult ASAP. Tall head havin azz!
http://myspace.com/diva_mama2 DivaMama

I wanna know why she feel the need to get a weave, anyway….
heavn_sent

Did Divine call her a TallHead??????? OMG, I’m rolling!
http://myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

Heavn_sent…you’re laughing but every time she comes on I say to myself…damn she got a long tall head!

Her head looks like rhianna’s when she first came out!

@ DiviaMama

That is a synthetic clip on wig.. you can tell, she has no scalp showing at the top, where there is supposed to be a part…
http://myspace.com/reddymond_45 The Black Katie Couric

I stopped watching when kim said she was 29 years old
iscream

Got this from another site…

“BIG PAPA? It’s Lee Najjar. If you watch the second episode where Kim is texting with NeNe and Sheree, there is a moment where her text inbox is revealed. In the inbox there are several messages from “Lee” including “Miss U”. If you have the show on Tivo you can go in slow motion and see it very clearly. Anybody who gives a contrary answer is trying to cover for her since he is already married. (from yahoo answers).”

Never watched it.

My daughter just called me and said she was in a bus accident. She said her bus ran into the back of another bus.

Who do I sue? The bus driver or the school?

@ Detroit, The missing scalp is what made me think that was a wig. Thanks!
http://myspace.com/diva_mama2 DivaMama

Left a response for you in the Bird Chest Snack post, pryn…

Detroit and DivaMama – I guess I never paid attention to the missing scalp. I’ll have to re-watch to catch it.

She isn’t outted he is outted. If this is true. You know she wants to shout it to the world. Probably let that text show on purpose hoping someone would pick it up.

I just watch it in support of Good LOL’z that Shree is something else LOL,
http://myspace.com/shae_camille model_chick78

CONGRATS LADIES !! I personally love the show, but hey, like Jigga says “It ain’t for everybody”. That is why they have remote controls. If you don’t like it you can always change the channel Like Kat Williams said, if you only have 2 people hating on you you need to figure out how to have 7 hating on you by the end of the year ! CHURCH !! Lmfao !

In the words of Shree, “Budget what’s that, Shree don’t shop on no budget… Timeless..
bklynchick

I haven’t watched any of the episodes but I hope to catch it. When does it come on?
http://myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

Sheree’s budget is as fake as her personality!

The judge residing over her case is gonna have a field day with her phony ass! She better have some hellified investments!
http://myspace.com/shae_camille model_chick78

It comes on Bravo. You can catch a re run pretty much every day almost but the new episodes come on Tuesday night @ 10pm est and they always start showing the re runs at like 8pm.

i love nene; i think she’s going to get her own show. she’s the only one i could probably have a drink with. the rest are straight whack. i’ll even give the white chick a pass; she’s just uh, special. but the other three ain’t hittin’ on sh*t.

@ free…
When she heard the demo songs, she didn’t care about the cameras, she was sooo hood…

“I guess they give Grammys for humming”.

I said right then, this chick don’t have a lick of sense.
http://myspace.com/shae_camille model_chick78

Ne Ne had me dying when she first got upstairs like “Bitch where the wine at” ! Lmfao ! Or when she told her guy friend at dinner “I’m a gangster” ! LOL ! Loves Ne Ne !
Anti-believer

Sheree is the worse of the bunch. She thinks people are jealous of her success? What success? She married a rich guy and now trying to get a 7-figured payment on the divorce that she’s been fighting for 3 years. She’s tired and way too materialistic. What negro will ever want her? NO ONE!

Kim (white girl)… 29? yeah right. She’s not married ot her high school sweetheart. She is living with Big Daddy whoever the fvck that is. Kim doesn’t have confidence in her voice. I know Dallas felt he was wasting his time.

The couple who owns the real estate company is the only decent one.

NeNe should kick Sheree azz! That would get ratings!
http://myspace.com/sfh50millionpounds mj

Im a watcher. i really expect to see a train wreck from Sheree and DeShawn.. NeNe in this last show seemed really sincere when she talked about her father. That was touching.. She is the reason that I watch the show. And Lisa Wu, her husband seems so nice and treats her very well. They appear to be a nice,fun couple.

*******************************
No, I didn’t know that – but I’m glad to hear it! They are my favorite housewives so long as that Jo and Slade don’t appear on the show.
pointhimout

i think we were all expecting something more from the ATL women, but hey, as with all things from atlanta, we’re supportive.

NeNe’s still my favorite, hands down. I think after Deshawn sees herself on tv, she’s going to calm down for season 2 and not put so much emphasis on money, the house, and eric not being there.

kim and singing—lololol …NENE, you wrong. that’s all I gotta say. funny, but wrong. Kim looks way older than 29. I was shocked too. I still think she’s messing around with LA Reid or someone on that caliber… I caught Dallas saying whenever he’s around Kim….WHOA…what element and environments bring you two together???? hmmmmmmmm

Sheree–I like her too, probably because people dog her out so bad. I dont think shes pretending, but i do think she’s out to maintain the lifestyle bob whitfield provdied for her. isn’t that what most women do???? yall lay off sheree, bitch or not.

Lisa—Her husband has a nice phat butt, thats the only time I look fwd to seeing her–cuz I get to see that phat butt he got. She lost me with the references to Keith Sweat not being a good husband.. sure i dont GAF either way, but I dont think it’s necessary. She should find another way to uplift her juicy booty husband withouth putting down Keith Sweat.
shannon04

omg @ pointthemout You are so dang funny….did you call that man juicy booty……..haaaaaaaaaa..im still laughing
