Bethenny Frankel Ratings Up 33% [VIDEO] Finally Beats Out Queen Latifah--Omarosa Takes The Credit Saying 'I Was Life Preserver For Her Sinking Ship'

Bethenny Frankel ratings Up 33% after her talk show 'Bethenny' was previously takings in the ratings. Bethenny remains at No. 14 for the week ending Oct. 27, but she saw a 33% increase in women 25-54, topping the #1 talk show, Queen Latifah, for the week. It's the first time  'Bethenny' beat out the the Queen in ratings demos. 

Bethenny Frankel talk show ratings were not very good, especially when competing with a Queen... Queen Latifah that is. 'Bethenny' was falling way behind in talk show ratings as The Queen has scored 1/3 higher ratings than Betthenny. Latifah's high ratings could be the cause of the 'Bethenny' talk show ratings as women would rather watch the Queen over  a reality star.

What's the reason behind her ratings boost. It could be her controversial guests such as Omarosa and Farrah Abraham. There's been a shift on 'Bethenny' from lifestyle formats to a more contraversial celebrity intervew format. Omarosa things that she is responsible for teh ratings hike adn tells RadarOnline:

"I never wanted to help Bethenny's ratings. I was a life preserver for her sinking ship!"

Bethenny Frankel's rating are up, but it is difficult to determine if this is because of Omarosa's interview wher she was extremely rude to Frankel, even calling the talk show host 'mediocre' and not letting her speak on her own set.  Omarosa rudely tells Bethenny, "It's different for you and I. I am an African-American woman. You get to walk around and be mediocre and you still get rewarded with things. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business."

This is when the 'Bethenny' audiece booed Amaroso and started to defend Bethenny. Bethenny said she was getting 'quite defensive' and kept running her mouth without letting Bethenny talk. Although Bethenny kept saying 'listen,' Omarosa would not shut her mouth. 

"I don't think you have a brand," Bethenny Frankel said.

"You make cupcakes, I worked in the White House," Omarosa snapped. To the talk show host. "Get a grip."

"I am a smart businesswoman who celebrates being smart and there is a brand in being smart," Amaroso said.

"Your brand is smart?" Frankel quipped. "That's in your business plan?" 

"We have a chance to turn this thing around," the Apprentice competitor said tring to make nice.

"No, we don't," Frankel said ending the conversation.

Even if Omarosa is the cause for Bethenny's small win it is rude to tell the gracious talk show host that she is responsible for her success. Can't she have any class?

Bethenny recently tried to get her New York Housewives in the show in a desperate need to boost her rating, but the ladies refused.

A Bethenny Frankel insider reveals about the need to get the Housewives on her show, "Bethenny is feeling pressure from network executives because ratings from her talk show have been less than stellar. Both ladies turned down the invitation to appear on the talk show. She didn't want to invite Jill and Alex to come on, but she really needs a ratings boost, and thought having them come on would generate a ton of publicity. Bethenny was stunned that they both said no, she really thought they would agree to come on the show. Bethenny's bosses suggested she call Jill and Alex personally, but she absolutely refused." 

What do you think is the reason for Bethenny's increase in ratings?
