Through three episodes, the program continued to experience weekly growth with the third episode gaining double-digit growth in all key demos, 361,000 W18-34 (up + 36%), 562,000 W18-49 (up + 30%), 463,000 A18-34 (up + 50%), 748,000 A18-49 (up +40%) and 1,150,000 total viewers (up +26%) vs. the prior week's episode, according to Nielsen Media Research.

The relaunched Oxygen.com and OxygenLive.com sites, which included several new social elements, helped to bolster August 2010.
