📉 Bravo’s Ratings Tea: Next Gen NYC Climbs While RHOM Holds Steady—But Who’s Bringing the Real Drama?

Buckle up, Bravo fans—because the ratings receipts are in and baby, the tea is lukewarm at best, scalding at worst, and sprinkled with shady edits and off-camera feuds.

🎬 Next Gen NYC – The Cool Kids Are Kinda Warming Up

Let’s talk about Next Gen NYC, Bravo’s millennial attempt to keep the Real Housewives brand alive with oat milk lattes and social media therapy. The season kicked off on June 3, 2025, and while Episode 1 pulled a respectable 262K viewers, we were all like, “Is this the soft launch or the real thing?”

Episodes 2 and 3? A dip. The girls were fighting... but the ratings weren’t.

But then, honey—Episode 6 hit a season high with 296K viewers and a 0.06 demo rating. That means something caught the viewers’ eye… or maybe someone finally threw a drink? 👀 Either way, this was their ‘look at me now’ moment. As of July 8, it’s officially Bravo’s 5th most-watched show. Not too shabby for a cast that looks like they all met in a group chat called “Influencers Who Got Ghosted.”

But let’s be real: consistency? She doesn’t live here. One week the views are up, next week we’re back to people binge-watching Below Deck. But we’ll give it to them—they’re trying.

💁‍♀️ The Real Housewives of Miami – Botox, Breakups & Bravo Gold

Now onto our tropical aunties over at RHOM, who returned June 11 with more filler than a reunion couch confession. Let’s break it down like Guerdy breaks down everyone’s vacation plans:

• Episode 1: 290K viewers
• Episode 2: 312K peak (oh we were watching!)
• Episode 3: 284K
• Episode 4: 276K (someone must’ve skipped the rosé)
• Episode 5: 289K

The girls are stable, if not always exciting. And while Season 6 averaged 419K (RIP those ratings), Season 7 is holding its own. There’s divorce (Alexia), tension (everyone), and questionable fashion choices (Larsa—girl, we see you).

Plus, it’s already renewed for Season 8, so you know Bravo sees the vision… even if half the audience is just hate-watching.

⚖️ Side-by-Side Shady Comparison

Show	Season High	Demo High	Viewers Range
Next Gen NYC	296K	0.06	245K–296K
RHOM Season 7	312K	0.05	276K–312K

• Next Gen is like your younger cousin who suddenly went viral on TikTok—chaotic but promising.
• RHOM is your messy aunt who always brings drama to Thanksgiving and refuses to leave—you don’t love her, but you need her.

🧠 Final Thoughts (a.k.a. Where’s the Check?)

Let’s be honest, Next Gen NYC is Bravo’s messy little experiment—and it just might work, if they keep turning up the drama and stop acting like they’re too cool to throw shade.

Meanwhile, RHOM knows exactly who she is: over-processed, under-filtered, and consistently bringing the chaos.

So the real question is:
Which one are you watching religiously… and which one are you watching through Instagram clips and Twitter threads?
