Barely two weeks since its debut, E!s I Am Cait is already in serious trouble.
While tabloid interest in and social media chatter about Caitlyn Jenner may remain strong, actual viewer numbers are down way down! suggesting that TVs great transgender hope might actually be a dud on arrival.
The problem with I Am Cait isnt its lack of ambition. If anything, the show suffers from an overdose of the stuff. In less than 60 minutes of screen time, Cait shifts from Real Housewives-type fluff to Lifetime-like melodrama to 60 Minutes-style seriousness. There are makeup shots and bikini drama and seemingly endless glasses of Champagne along with occasional Kardashian, Kanye and junior Jenner cameos thrown in. But mostly, its all Cait all the time awkwardly (and, yes, bravely) negotiating her late-in-life rebirth for all of America to see.

Personally, I can't imagine why more people wouldn't want to watch the drag queen sip champagne, put on makeup and suffer through a "bikini drama" ... provided, of course, that it's done in good taste.
*shakes head*
good taste? right...
How many households still have dryers with the glass windows? I’d find that more entertaining.
If you have to ask.....
mental illness on parade
Say, if Bruce Jenner goes missing, will his picture be on a carton of Half and Half?
It’s an unwatchable mess because a show about a mentally ill man, created, written and produced by mentally ill people does not make for the ‘entertainment it’s marketed to be.
If one looks at it as an academic study on insanity as part of a PHD thesis in insanity it might have value.
I do! Come over and bring wine! Bring your wash, too, if you like ...
Is this the kind of drama viewers can expect if they tune in?
It would have been better if he changed his name to Brucella.
And by the way, this show is NOT about making trannies feel better about themselves, empowering themselves, fostering respect for trannies .... which was basically the context of his ESPY speech.
This show is about him. Bruce is just the male version of a Kardashian. This is all about him and publicity and making money. That's it. Just like his bimbo step daughters.
Cute brood, BTW, on your Freeper page!
That’s a man, baby.
The elites who run the MSM (and the country) are sure this concept will be a huge winner.
I would rather lick lead paint off my walls!
Thanks!
I guess you’ll have to go to the Laundromat.
Because who wants to puke watching TV?
The comment section might give all of us hope. Everyone recognizes this as either a mental illness or publicity stunt ... or both.
