Bravo renewed The Shahs of Sunset for a second season! That means Reza and little Reza are coming back for more in all of their gold wearing, chest hair glory! The finale this past Sunday drew in 1.5 million viewers, and 1 million of them were in the demo–that’s pretty damn great for a new series that’s not Housewives or Top Chef. I have to say that the series really grew on me, and Reza confronting his father in the second to the last episode was really powerful and touching. Here’s to season two! I just have one request…THEY HAVE TO GET RID OF SAMMY! He’s so gross, and so was his friend Naveed. Puke City! Yeah, I know I just sounded like a seventh grader, but there is no other way to describe him.

From the press release: 

NEW YORK – April 17, 2012 – Bravo Media hit ratings highs on Sunday night as “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion part one delivered its highest rated reunion episode in series history with 3.1 million total viewers and 2.1 million adults 18-49, making Bravo the #1 cable network on television among adults 18-49 in the 9PM hour, according to Nielsen. Sunday night’s episode was up 30 percent among adults 18-49 and 30 percent among total viewers compared to last season’s reunion (2/13/11). 

Adding to Sunday night’s ratings success, the season one finale of “Shahs of Sunset” earned its most watched episode of the season with over 1.5 million total viewers and 1 million adults 18-49.  Compared to last week’s episode, the season finale spiked 20 percent among adults 18-49 and 15 percent among total viewers. Based on the show’s success the network greenlit a second season of the series from Ryan Seacrest Productions.     

Additionally, “Watch What Happens Live” hosted by Andy Cohen with guests Reza Farahan, Asa Soltan Rahmati and Mike Shouhed from “Shahs of Sunset” scored an impressive 1.4 million total viewers and 942,000 adults 18- 49, up 31 percent and 44 percent, respectively, from last Sunday’s episode.  For more information, visit www.BravoTV.com and follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/BravoPR.

    Thank you for the good news with my morning caffeine fix, Nads. Has your mom warmed up to the show?

    Hope they get the next season rolling soon. The difference between The Shahs and the Guidos is that the Shahs started right out being obnoxious and we warmed up to them in all their cheesy glory.

    Agree about Sammy and Naveed. Ish! But ya think the Powers that Be will get rid of such a wealth of attention-grabbing sleeze? Not a chance.

    I have been racking my brain since the finale trying to figure out which show Sammy’s date Hana was on previously and I think it just came to me – VH1′s ‘You’re Cut Off’. Can anyone confirm? I’ve spent entirely too much brainpower on this one in the last few days!

    Yes you are correct. It was Hana from your cut off.

    Hanna, watch out! This is how the career trajectory builds momentum: stripping; bit parts on reality shows; living on Cup ‘o Soup and money from home; porn.

    I just assumed she was on the Taylor Armstrong career trajectory.

    My mom actually did warm up to the show…she was hate-watching it (similar to a hate-f*ck, but worse)…but when Reza went to his dad’s in NY, she was touched! Ha!

    We watched the finale together this past Sunday and she was like–Negar (my Persian name)…you should work on that show. I was like–MOM? WHAT? You’re such a hypocrite! She looked at me and said in her Persian accent, “I changed my mind.”

    It was priceless. :-)

    I love Reza. His face should be on money.

    Yah, Sammy is a total weirdo, he can see himself out.

    GG needs to go too. Considering that she doesn’t have a job, doesn’t have any interests except arguing, and just pretty much spends her fathers money – buh bye.

    Reza and MJ are the whole reason this show is watchable. They’re like Jack and Karen, only there’s no Will or Grace on this particular show. There’s just Tubby, Cunty, Douchey, and Pretentious-y.

    Season Two: Here I come!

    thank you! I was thinking Millionaire Matchmaker, but she’s definitely from You’re Cut Off.

    yeahhhh! I loved this show from the start. I really like Asa, MJ & Reza’s dynamic. I even like GG & her gimp nose. Sammy & Mike are totally blah, I hope they get some other guys in there to replace them.

    I hate to say it, but Shahs is way better than any of the Housewives. they’re all my own age & I like that Reza/GG/MJ all have stuff they’re discovering about their relationships with their parents. and Asa actually has DEPTH, despite being horribly cheesy about it.

    Bravo needs more programming like this & Work of Art .. enough splash & crap to keep the trash-eaters satisfied (myself included, lol) but tempered with actual emotion & depth. the housewives are so fucking shallow & dumb they can hardly claw out of a paper bag.
