Kim Zolciak regrets leaving Real Housewives of Atlanta and it turns out her regrets are for some great reasons. 4.52 million reason to be exact! Because that's how many viewers tuned into Real Housewives of Atlanta last Sunday, breaking all Housewives records. Kim, 35, dramatically left Atlanta Housewives unexpectedly in the middle of last season.  Looks like the Bravo show didn't need Zolciak for their success.

Zolciak thought she was leaving the RHOA on a high note, predicting that ratings would go down in the near future. But for some reason Atlanta Housewives only got bigger without Kim. Bravo found the perfect formula of the six remaining women and their husbands to make the most successful Housewives season for the franchise ever. Despite her regrets, the reality show seems to mesh better without her.

Zolciak told InTouch Magazine that she's done making babies and she'd be open to coming back to the hit show. Well of course she's be open to coming back to the highest rated Bravo show! Kim's Bravo spin-off show averages a measly 1.1 million viewers an episode; not even in the vicinity to the Atlanta Housewives explosive ratings. 

Real Housewives of Atlanta ratings are the highest they've ever been before. Atlanta has been on Bravo since 2008 and unlike the other Housewives franchises, Atlanta ratings keep rising.

 This past Sunday Atlanta Housewives was watched by over 4.52 million viewers; and that's just the people that watched it while it aired! Most women these days DVR their Housewives shows or watch the repeat when it airs later.

Another 1.3 million viewers watched The Real Housewives Of Atlanta in repeat last Sunday at midnight. That makes 5.82 viewers that Bravo can calculate. The episode beat ratings for all of the Housewives reunion shows; the highest ratings before being Atlanta reunion season 3.

Kim left the show, saying that she was more focused on family. The newlywed mother of four had her hands full and claimed that she didn't have time to hang out with the other ladies.

On the mandatory girls trip that Housewives attend every season, Kim decided not go. She blamed her pregnancy but the other ladies just thought she had 'checked out.'

Though Kim might want to come back, it seems the formula of the six remaining ladies is working out just fine.

Kandi, Kenya, Phaedra, Porsha, Nene and Cynthia have all remained and there have been no additions.

Seems Bravo got the right ingredients for the most successful Housewives group of ladies so far. Sorry Kim!

Would you want Kim to come back to Atlanta Housewives?
