Season 6 of ‘The Real Housewives of New York’ concluded this week with a bang. Literally. Aviva Drescher threw her prosthetic leg across a table at LeCirque and Twitter went wild. According to our analytics partner, Canvs, which measures Twitter sentiment for shows, the most reacted-to moment of the finale occurred directly in the aftermath of the leg incident when viewers commented on how “funny” the situation was. The second biggest moment, both in terms of overall volume and reaction volume, happened during the throwing incident itself when viewers called Aviva “crazy.”
Here are some other insights from Canvs followed by an infographic:
-35% of all reactions about the show happened in the ten minutes surrounding the leg incident.
– Other top moments didn’t drive nearly the same emotional intensity as the leg throwing.
-“Who cares?” spiked at 9:25 when Harry left with LuAnn instead of Sonja.
-“Love” spiked about Heather’s son as well.
– Total Emotional Reactions: 7,804
– Total Tweets: 23,891
