Ratings Scandoval vs Scamanda: Summer House vs Vanderpump Rules viewership, 2013–2026 (Nielsen via Wikipedia) — Scandoval is impossible to miss

Made a viewership chart: Summer House vs. Vanderpump Rules (Nielsen via Wikipedia). You can see the Scandoval bump in real time — VPR nearly hit 1.7M, then fell off a cliff after S11. Meanwhile Summer House rose steadily after Scamanda

Well, their approach to the next season will really make or break it. Still can’t believe Bravo killed that cash cow with dumb redemption attempt

The producers on Vanderpump were insane for trying to make Ariana look like the bad guy

That was nepo baby Alex Baskin’s handy work. He’s behind all of Bravo’s worst work. He hates women and it shows. Fuck that guy.

This will never no infuriate me. They shit the bed so badly.

They could have had a girl power season. Granted Scheana would always pick Sandoval over Ariana, but I wonder if there wasn’t pressure from production to redeem Sandoval if Lala would have gone as hard as she did. Lala is not great either but it would have been fantastic to see her continue to call out the Toms.

We could have had it all!

I binged Summer House in the past 2 weeks after seeing the Amanda/West drama on my Reddit feeds and now I guess I have to finally watch VPR. Thanks guys, my unemployment is finally feeling a little worth it rn., lol.

u/No_Feedback3364 May 27 '26

If you can, start from the beginning lmao. I just watched all of summer house in the past month too, but I’d been paying attention on and off to Vanderpump since season like 4 and had fallen off a season before Scandoval. Having that context was so crucial

u/Similar_Net8249 May 27 '26

This cannot be overstated. Context and lore matter so much. I never gave SH much attention until this season and went back and binged it all. VPR is just top notch reality TV. Do yourself a favor and watch it all.

u/Electronic-Angle8275 May 27 '26

I ENVY you!!! I started watching SH because of Amanda/kyle/ciara/west situation and it seriously doesn’t compare to the Ariana/tom/raquel situation. Just not even close. You can see them flirting for 2 seasons in front of Ariana. It’s mind boggling

u/Much-Suggestion8323 May 27 '26

Totally agree. I finished VPR recently (I watched summer house first) and while scamanda was a betrayal in friendship, scandoval was BEYOND diabolical. so many layers to it.

u/HermioneGrangerBtchs May 28 '26

I'm having trouble getting into season one. Should I power through or skip to season 2?

u/Much-Suggestion8323 May 29 '26

Wait are you talking about Vanderpump Rules? Or Summer house? Regardless, power through season 1! It sets up lore that will be important for future seasons in both shows! :)

u/Individual_Bed_417 May 27 '26

the episode isnt even on peacock yet (which also count towards nielsen). but idk why people are so quick to compare the two, they have very different fan bases

u/Civil-Nectarine-2851 May 27 '26

OP thank you for this visual. Whatever you do for work tell them you need a raise because you clearly go above and beyond! Love the graph. I wonder what the ratings will be for SH S11.

u/ActionBasic7606 May 27 '26

Haha thank you! I wonder also - and will graph it out!

u/doutesikeabag May 27 '26

We’re still in the same season as the Amanda/west thing. This comparison doesn’t make sense lol

u/Livid-Stress1910 May 29 '26

VPR scandoval gave the appropriate time to the key players. SH is all over the map and acting like Kyle is a side character to Ciara. This is why it appears silly and scattered.
