Is the public fascination with Caitlyn Jenner wearing off?
Ratings for E!’s groundbreaking reality series I Am Cait plummeted for the show’s second episode.
Sunday’s hour had only 1.3 million viewers, a drop of more than 50% from the show’s premiere.
I Am Cait premiered somewhat modestly too, especially considering the usual Kardashian clan drawing power on E! and the amount of media buzz surrounding Jenner in recent months. The series debut had 2.7 million viewers, then grew to 3.9 million with DVR playback. While time-shifted viewing is important, a big change in same-night viewership — like what happened on Sunday — still tends to give a strong signal of whether interest in a show is rising or falling.
LOL! He can make it into a game show, where the contestants have to guess whether he will appear as man, woman, animal, vegetable or mineral.
You mean I already missed the first two episodes?
Is the loss of audience about his show just not being good or the fact that he came out as a Conservative.
He should have NEVER admitted to being a Republican on the show with Diane Sawyer.
Killed his popularity with the reality show demographic.
Freak show.
Clearly, not dedicating your Sunday evenings to "I am Cait" is testament to your hateful, bigoted transphobia.
Duck Dynasty is still going strong! Give the people what they want, more Christian based shows.
Apparently Americans’ tastes have not sufficiently matured. *sigh*
lol
Cecil stole the show.
The Caitlyn Jenner thing was over six weeks ago.
Their viewer numbers will double next week now that Ed Schultz is unemployed and has nothing else to do.
His address should be immediately posted online! Hopefully, the re-education camps will refine this unfortunate man.
Probably didn't help.
Conservatives don't want to watch a show about trannies and liberals don't want to watch a show about "conservative" trannies.
The American public can handle only one hysteria at a time. Sorry, Choppadick Jenner, you’ve been bumped by Cecil the Lion.
That’s the trouble with a pure novelty act. When you’ve seen it once there’s nothing left to hold your interest. It’s not like there’s talent there or anything.
Won’t last long.
They will blame on Jenner’s “conservatism”.
