-Olive Garden drove plenty of reactions with its promoted tweet signed by PLL’s villain, A (see infographic). Their strategy seems to be working. We analyzed a sample of 11,081 authors who reacted to this episode of PLL and found that 16.4% of them indicated an affinity for the Olive Garden. This is 14.1% higher than the Twitter average.
-PLL ran a live Twitter chat with Janel Parrish, who plays Mona on the show during the episode, which probably contributed to “Mona” being the most reacted-to character name (13,503 Tweets)
-The show has been renewed for two more seasons, so looks like the Liars are not going to be graduating high school any time soon.
