It is rare when Bravo has more than one show on at a time that is just hitting week after week. However, three shows are currently raking in the ratings. Between Summer House, Below Deck Down Under, and Southern Hospitality, viewers are tuning in week after week for the drama and well-filmed storylines.
Below Deck Down Under is yachting perfection
Even though Below Deck Down Under has shaken up the cast the group of yachties are giving everything they have this season. Back at the helm in Captain Jason Chambers, looking as perfect as ever. But it is more than just his looks that have won fans over. He is the real deal. A leader in the industry who walks the walk. He puts his crew first and genuinely wants others to succeed. Perhaps the best thing is he doesn’t micromanage. Tzarina Mace-Ralph is back in the galley and immediately had interpersonal issues with her sous chef, Anthony Bird.
The Australian Below Deck spinoff shows a totally different part of the world that most viewers haven’t visited. The caliber of guests seems to be nicer, and the adventures more one of a kind. Currently, the entire cast is getting along. Unlike some other Below Deck franchises, there are no drunken nights, love triangles, or mean girl vibes. According to Deadline, these are the series that fans want to make time for. Season 3 had 1.9M total viewers “after seven days of cross-platform viewing, up 5% from the Season 2 premiere.” The outlet noted, “On streaming, NBCU says the Season 3 premiere is now the top season premiere among the entire Below Deck franchise, up 66% in Peacock viewing season-over-season.”
Southern Hospitality makes me want to go to Republic
I don’t know if it’s TJ Dinch’s Sir Weiners or Maddi Reese and Joe Bradley’s odd infatuation with one another, but I’m hooked. Season 3 of Southern Hospitality has been amazing. It’s left me thinking, Vanderpump Rules who? The relatively new series is “averaging 1M seven-day cross-platform viewers per episode through the first six episodes of Season 3, per NBCUniversal. That’s up 22% from Season 2’s overall audience average, putting the third installment on track to become Bravo’s first original series to grow in each of its first three seasons since 2018.”
The stats make sense, especially given the drama between Emmy Sharrett and Will Kulp. Everyone but the server seems to think that the aspiring lawyer has been cheating on his longtime girlfriend. The group has staged multiple interventions, but nothing has worked. Thanks to her mascara cry, Emmy has become the most dramatic reality star on Bravo. Southern Hospitality is worth the watch if not just for the delusional cast. The young cast take their jobs at the King Street bar so seriously it is almost comical. But moreover, the group seems to be an actual set of friends, and you can’t buy that chemistry.
Summer House is the fan-favorite
Without a doubt, Summer House is a fan’s personal choice. We’ve waited an eternity to see Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke back in the same house. And on top of that, fans were gifted the breakup of Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover. The Bravo series “raked in 1.6M seven-day cross-platform viewers for the Season 9 premiere, up 14% over the Season 8 premiere to make it the most-watched season premiere in the show’s history.” The premiere had “972,000 viewers in the 18-49 demo, which is a 13% increase over the Season 8 premiere.”
The season has only just started, but the roomies are already in heat. Jesse Solomon is lusting over newbie Lexi Wood. And then there’s “sex swing” enthusiast Imrul Hassan. Everyone is currently playing nice, but the trailer has shown that Paige will lose her cool on DJ Kyle Cooke. Every winter, Summer House has the ability to drag us out of our blanket cocoons and give us up that the warmer weather is right around the corner. Bravo has three hits on its hands, and the network really needs to make sure they are protected at all costs
Southern Hospitality and the rest of the mentioned shows are available to stream on Peacock.
