Bravo is also home to nine of the top 10 most engaging cable reality shows with "Top Chef: Texas" and "Flipping Out" delivering the greatest viewer attention of any reality series on broadcast or cable television for the year.

Continuing the extension of the Bravo brand beyond the television screen, the network increased its major retail and merchandising partnerships in 2011 with multiple "Top Chef" brand extensions, including one of the largest integrated marketing partnerships with Healthy Choice�, a brand of ConAgra Foods, Inc.
