Studying Time: 3 minutes

The twelfth season of Vanderpump Guidelines premiered on Bravo earlier this month.

And in case you weren’t conscious the present nonetheless existed — properly, you’re not alone.

Sure, both Bravo’s advertising and marketing division actually dropped the ball, or curiosity within the all-new Vanderpump solid is far, a lot decrease than anticipated.

Regardless of the case, the rebooted sequence premiered to shockingly low scores.

And after simply three episodes, there’s already discuss that the present won’t be renewed for Season 13.

‘Vanderpump’ premiere acquired lowest scores in franchise historical past

In accordance with a brand new report from Star journal, the present’s December 2 season premiere drew in simply 290,000 viewers, making it the least-watched episode in Vanderpump historical past.

The state of affairs received even worse the next week, when Vanderpump Season 12 Episode 2 dropped to fewer than 1 / 4 million viewers.

The numbers for the third episode, which aired on Tuesday night time, aren’t in but — however barring a Christmas miracle, they’re in all probability not gonna be something to lift your glass about.

At this level, the present is such an unmitigated catastrophe that it may not be permitted to complete out the season, regardless that the entire thing has already been filmed.

“The numbers for premiere week scores are nonetheless coming in,” an insider instructed Star, including, “And it’s nonetheless early, however primarily based on early numbers, the shortage of viewers response, engagement, and total curiosity, it’s seemingly at this level that the reboot won’t come again.”

A second supply provided an unconvincing rebuttal, noting that government producer (and sole returning solid member) Lisa Vanderpump has been “very beneficiant together with her time selling this present.”

(Frankly, that feels like a Bravo insider’s approach of paying a praise to Lisa as a method of side-stepping the scores challenge.)

A 3rd supply says that the present has even greater issues than its scores, as Bravo execs consider that it’s merely less than the community’s common requirements of high quality.

“Bravo execs are combating the reboot. To start with, they don’t discover the present to be pretty much as good, that’s the largest challenge,” that informant tells the US Solar.

For her half, Lisa has already been fast to dismiss the considerations concerning the present’s cancellation.

“Screw the naysayers!” Lisa instructed Web page Six this week at her Vanderpump Canine Basis Gala in Beverly Hills.

“I’m very excited concerning the new solid. Hopefully this time subsequent 12 months they’ll be a ache in my ass, as a result of that’s when you recognize the present’s a hit!”

For sure, unlikely that the present will nonetheless exist this time subsequent 12 months. However its namesake restaurateur seems unconcerned.

After all, Lisa is independently rich and has already starred in and/or produced a number of profitable actuality exhibits (to say nothing of the numerous eating places she’s opened).

The younger solid of the rebooted Vanderpump Guidelines may not be so fast to shrug this case off.
