‘Vanderpump Rules’ Sees Spike In Ratings Following Tom Sandoval & Raquel Leviss Affair Allegations
deadline.comAudiences are tuning back in to Vanderpump Rules. Following the news that longtime stars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix had split due to an alleged affair between Sandoval and co-star Raquel Leviss, the series saw quite the boost in ratings.
While Season 10 hasn’t quite caught up to the real time drama yet, the March 8 episode was the most-watched in nearly three years with 2.2M viewers after three days of multi-platform viewing.
The episode was also scored a nearly three-year high in the ad friendly 18-49 demographic. That’s up from the 0.35 demo rating and 879,000 viewers that the episode scored in live+same-day linear viewing, which was already a feat considering that the previous episode had hit a season low of 648,000 viewers.
In L+SD, the episode was the highest-rated for the series since Part 3 of the Season 8 reunion, which aired in 2020. When taking into account digital platforms, live viewing doubled from the previous week’s episode on March 1, according to NBCUniversal, although no exact numbers were available.
