Additionally, the episode garnered nearly 700,000 among A18-49, according to Nielsen.

Bravo will air an additional new episode of the "Kandi Factory" tonight at 10pm ET/PT, where Kandi's team takes on Garrison, a "Soccer Mom" looking 42-year-old administrator with rock star dreams. But, Garrison's aspirations become her nightmare as she is forced to confront her deep-seeded fears about sexuality when Kandi writes her a pop anthem titled "The Mighty O" - based on Garrison's own personal journey with her sexuality. Facing off against Garrison is Kevin, a successful 28-year-old lawyer, eager to become the next R&B sensation. However, Kandi is not fully sold on his swag, and tries to teach him how to "woo" the ladies. The stakes are even higher this week as American Idol winner Ruben Studdard joins for a special guest appearance.
