Oct. 8 2013, Published 5:14 p.m. ET
Bethenny Frankel's new daytime talk show continues to struggle as the former Real Housewives of New York City star's latest numbers reveal she's ranked a disappointing #13 among her talk show peers, falling behind big names like Ellen DeGeneres and Dr. Oz and less popular shows hosted by Steve Wilkos and Rachael Ray.
According to the ratings for the week ending on Sept. 29, Dr. Phil led the pack for the sixth straight week followed closely by Live with Kelly and Michael and Ellen.

In fact, Frankel's talk show decreased in viewership by 11% last week in the overall household demographic while rivals Katie and The Doctors went up by 6% and 9%, respectively.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Frankel is also losing out to rapper-turned-actress-turned-host, Queen Latifah, who was victorious in the ratings.
Queen Latifah's ratings are averaging about a third higher than the one hosted by Frankel.
