Is the public fascination with Caitlyn Jenner wearing off?
Ratings for E!s groundbreaking reality series I Am Cait plummeted for the shows second episode.
Sundays hour had only 1.3 million viewers, a drop of more than 50% from the shows 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.
I liked that show. It was so early ‘80s.

What’s groundbreaking about putting on a freak show?
Both of them?

Average American mentality has declined. It’s a decline brought to you by the Make’Em Stupid Keep’Em Stupid combined effort of the NEA and the media.
You mean “Bruce” Jenner? Anyone who uses “Caitlyn” is encouraging the depraved behavior of self-neuterizing males like him.

Brucie-Woosie Jenner never had the final choppadickoffamy done. He’s still holding on to his winky.
And he’ll always be an XY-chromosomed crossdresser & nothing more.
Real females named Caitlyn should be outraged.
Plus it is hard to get attention in an asylum run by the inmates. “Normal” mental illnesses just don’t cut it anymore when they are continuously plumbing for new lows.
Wow... Hanks looked like a little kid.
So long ago. Days gone by.

And they went way too fast.
That’s a fact!
Yep, and just like with the old one in circus tents with sawdust on the ground, interest fades after an hour or so.
I would rather be water-boarded than watch some cutsie media attempt to make this self-mutilated cretin an object of interest or relevance.
And as soon as the novelty wears off, bruce will don man’s clothes again and go spend the money he’s made of those fools.
“Now I predict Caitlyn will transform back to Bruce in an effort to arrest the ratings slide.”
I was thinking along those lines, myself.
One hopes that this is a sign that the LGBT tidal wave has crested, and cooler heads will begin to prevail, but I think it’s probably just that the shock value of this particular case has worn off.
I’m sure the new Show on TLC “I am Jazz” is taking away his Audience.
A 65 Year Old wrinkled Tranny versus a 14 Year Old fresh Tranny, decisions, decisions...
When one is at the Circus they only visit the Sideshow once.
LOL. I was logged in last week to an online game and someone said in chat something about Bruce Jenner. Some snarkely corrected “You mean Caitlin Jenner.” Person responded, “No, I mean &*^^%* Bruce Jenner.”
Did you see the remake of that? They even had the real Billy Joel to do the theme but that didn’t work out too well.

A lot of people instinctively can't even look at these freaks.
When I was out of high school I worked nights as a hostess for a prominent restaurant in a Chicago suburb. It had a late license, and around 12:30 AM the entertainers from various strip clubs and seedy entertainment bars that surround the boundaries of O'Hare airport would file in for a restful late-night dinner and drinks after their grueling night-time routines.
There were usually around 6-8 trannies, female impersonators, drag queens, whatever, dressed in garish female makeup, fur stoles, high heels, wigs, lots of fake jewelry.....and there was something so unnatural, or as I should say, so against nature that I could barely look at them.
I would ask one of the waitresses to cover for me and I would continue my work in a separate, adjacent dining room...even though the entertainers were big tippers, tipping the hostess, also, which generally isn't done.
I was about 18-19 at the time, the usual unsophisticated, protected suburban girl who scarcely knew what homosexuals, trannies, etc. actually DID, lol, yet I still, for some reason, couldn't look or interact with them at all through instinct alone.
I think, as per the old saying, "Mother Nature knows best", that I was just reacting to them with some natural rejection.
Perhaps folks just can't take watching these entertainers like Bruce Jenner on TV because it just goes against inner things...things which are moral, biblical and natural.
Real TV "entertainment" it isn't.
Jenner's show undoubtedly would work better in seedy bars and strip joints around an airport.
