Fierce Ratings for Project Runway Finale

Project Runway ended its fourth season with the best adult 18 - 49 numbers in Bravo’s history.

The contest, won by the young designer Christian Siriano, averaged 3.75 million viewers 18- to 49 on Wednesday, improving on the season three finale by 9 percent. Last season’s finale previously held the title for top-rated Bravo program ever in the demo.

The fashion reality show nabbed silver in its 10 pm slot, behind NBC’s Law & Order, reported Variety.

When live-plus-seven-day ratings are counted, Project Runway’s fourth season increased its 18-49 rankings 10 percent over last season. The same night nabbed the finale of The Millionaire Matchmaker 938,000 viewers - up 13 percent over its season average. The Real Housewives of New York City drew a curious 824,000 viewers.
