The first two parts of the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion has turned out to be a ratings milestone for the hit reality series.
Per NBCUniversal, part one of the reunion drew the largest Live+Same Day audience in the show’s history. In multi-platform viewing over its first seven days of availability, Part 1 has delivered 3.1 million viewers, another series high and up 43% from the Season 10 average of 2.2 million viewers per episode. Part 2 has delivered 2.6 million viewers in multi-platform viewing after three days of availability.
On Peacock, part one of the reunion ranks as the number one episode of all time for an NBCU next-day series in first day viewing.
Part 3 of the reunion airs June 9 at 8p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes are available the next day on Peacock.
The interest in the “Summer House” reunion episodes spiked after a scandal erupted among the cast earlier this spring — gossip sites such as DeuxMoi began speculating that castmates West Wilson and Amanda Batula were secretly dating, a development that was controversial for several reasons. Among them was that Batula had only recently split from her husband of four years, fellow “Summer House” cast member Kyle Cooke — they had announced they were getting divorced in January, weeks before the show’s February premiere. Batula is also close friends with castmate Ciara Miller, Wilson’s ex, and they have a fraught, on-again-off-again dynamic that (as Batula knows well) tortures Miller.In a post on March 31, Wilson and Batula confirmed they were exploring some sort of… something, in a joint announcement that largely confounded and enraged the Bravosphere. The reunion — taped on April 23, and moderated by Andy Cohen — is the first time the full cast gathered together publicly. Batula and Wilson, who appear to still be together, have faced a firing squad led by Miller, Cooke and their ally Lindsay Hubbard.
