R&B singer Teairra Mari may have been enlisted to pull in viewing figures, but it would seem the lesser known ladies that are Masika Kalysha (above) and Nikki Mudarris have done a far better job at doing that for the show in which she stars in…’Love & Hip Hop Hollywood.’

For, after losing 190,000 viewers between the second and fourth episode of its first season, its fifth episode pulled in 2.39 million viewers when it touched on Monday night, making it the second highest viewed episode since its season premiere enjoyed the benefit of 2.80 million spectators on September 15th!

What changed? A shift in focus from a story line led by Mari and ‘Sexy Can I’ singer Ray J to Kalysha and Mudarris’ feud over fellow cast mate Jamal ‘Mally Mall’ Rashid, brought onto the Reality TV series as part of its recurring cast.

Will its episode six  fare just as well when it arrives on October 20th?
