More than 3.4 million total viewers tuned-in to the much-blogged-about and highly-anticipated episode, making it the #1 program of the day on cable. It also was #1 in in Adults 18-34 (1.4 million), 18-49 (2.2 million) and 25-54 (2.0 million).

Hi:
I Watch BRAVO most of the time and especially on the weekends. I love fashion but I am not dictated by anyone else’s opinion, however, I truly love seeing the background for Heidi’s program. Makes me realize that everyone is not perfect and do not have an easy time of it, just like the rest of us. I got interested in the fashion part of your program while fighting cancer for the 3th time. It was especially great to see the gown being made and then worn by Miss American at the Miss Universe Contest. I had long ago stopped watching the beauty contest but this made it personal for me. Thank you so much for your real entertainment.
