Ratings Review: THE REAL HUSBANDS OF HOLLYWOOD

THE REAL HUSBANDS OF HOLLYWOOD premiered to great numbers for a network that doesn't really have many high high rated shows. 4.2 million viewers checked out the first episode, but what was looking like a major hit, cooled off to a decent performance for a reality series.

By the fourth episode, the audience had fall off by 52% from the series premiere. From that point is seemed to stabilize, with exception to the second to last episode, which posted a series low in viewership.

A positive for the series was the season finale. A jump of 25% from that season low showed that there is an interest in the series, by the viewers. The series also out delivered Bravo's REAL HOUSEWIVES of ATLANTA on almost every week during its run.

Earlier in March 2013, BET ordered a second season of REAL HUSBANDS OF HOLLYWOOD, also consisting of 10 episodes.
