We did get some special broadcast ratings data for the week of 10/13-10/19 and looking at Grey's Anatomy (a mainstream female skewing show) for comparison purposes: Women 18-49: 5.80 million Men 18-49: 2.02 million So Grey's 18-49 audience was 74% women. I don't have the total viewer breakdown, but I'd expect it to be similar. Top Design is certainly more female skewing. You win the bet.

Top Design is certainly more female skewing.

You win the bet.

I have a bet with my wife that it's over 70% female. Could use the help, really need to win a bet with her for once. Thanks! "Top Design” is averaging 1.246 million adults 18-49 and 1.896 million total viewers, up 56 percent (vs. 801,000) and 55 percent (vs. 1,227,000), respectively from the prior season-to-date average, and on pace to have its highest rated season ever."
