Andy Cohen explains ratings to Kelly Dodd, calls new season of 'RHOC' a 'return to form'
“Wasn’t there a boycott ?? We got over a million viewers 14 out of 16 weeks last season despite HUGE competition from election coverage on the news !!!” she added. “This year ? #RHOC16 under a million 3x in 4 weeks ! Hey @Andy How’s that reboot going ???”Dodd stood by her tweet when Page Six reached out for comment, explaining that she intended to compare Season 15 overnight viewers to Season 16 overnight viewers.
“Numbers don’t lie,” she told us in a statement. “We did a straight-up comparison using real overnight data. His response is pure spin. If he’s gonna add later views to this year’s overnight ratings, he needs to share the added views to last year, too.” She added, “If the reboot was truly a success, the next-day ratings would reflect it. Season 16’s numbers would be higher than Season 15’s. Instead they’re significantly lower and show many viewers have turned off the show. Based on the Instagram comments I’ve seen, it seems like a lot of Bravo fans can’t stand Heather [Dubrow] and won’t watch anymore.
