Real Housewives of Atlanta ratings are the highest they've ever been before, beating out the own ratings winner, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Atlanta Housewives has been on Bravo since 2008 and unlike the other Housewives franchises, Atlanta ratings keep rising. KUWTK ratings keep going down. What are the reasons for this? 

Keeping Up With the Kardashians is no match for the top ratings show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta. While the ladies of Atlanta aren't the smartest ladies, the Housewives are at least lovable and deal with real issues. Though they are all wealthy, don't throw their overabundance of money our faces! More importantly, we don't know what's going to happen every week On The Real Housewives Of Atlanta because they don't tweet every single thing they say or do like the Kardashians. This past Sunday, for the second week in a row, Real Housewives of Atlanta had the highest ratings for any show on all of TV in any time slot. 

Even the repeat Housewives show that aired on Bravo all night were extremly high in the ratings. And two weeks ago Atlanta Housewives was watched by over 4.52 million viewers; and that's just the people that watched it while it aired for the first time! Most women these days DVR their Housewives shows or watch the repeat when it airs later when they get home.  Another 1.3 million viewers watched RHOA in repeat. 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.

The ratings are so great that Kim Zolciak is regretting her departure from the show that dramatically occurred during last season. Kim thought she was leaving the show on a high note but she was very wrong.

Though Kim Zolciak 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.

RHOA is killing Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Seems viewers are not keeping up with the infamous family and would rather follow Real Housewives of Atlanta on Sunday night. 

 The Kardashians season 9 premiere aired on Sunday to its lowest ratings in years. So why did ratings for the E! show drop so drastically? I think I can see why we've all given up on Kim, Khloe, Kris and the rest of the 'K' Klan.

I personally couldn't watch more than a few minutes of the KUWTK premiere. When I say 'you couldn't pay me enough to keep watching' I mean it because it's my job and I do get paid fto watch! Their shananigans were so predictable and cliche. But worse, the family is so famous that there are no more surprises. Pick up any rag magazine and the Kardashians are splashed all over the pages. Fans are keeping up with their social media and the gossip is way ahead of the E! show.

E! tried to entice viewers to watch KUWTK with Khloe's storyline but her heartbreak didn't make for good TV. We all knew about Lamar's drug addiction and the couples' split for months! KUWTK had nothing new to offer that we already didn't know about the family and spouses.

Kim whines about everything, all the children get irrationally angry at mama Kris, Kris treats Bruce like crap, and Scott can't hold down a job. KUWTK just throws it in our face how rich and famous the Kardashians are without dealing with any real issues. The families biggest problems are how to deal with fame and fortune. Are we supposed to care?

Why do you think Real Housewives of Atlanta is killing it in the ratings?
