It is almost always gratifying to watch something that was hyped ridiculously go down in flames.
The Caitlyn Jenner reality series lost more than half of its premiere haul on Sunday night, per live-plus-same-day ratings. The episode averaged 1.3 million viewers, down from 2.7 million viewers the week prior.
America isn’t nearly as obsessed with transsexuals as transsexuals are obsessed with themselves.
The series opened to lofty ratings expectations, …
TV executives….what don’t they know?
I’m so over Jenner. I just don’t care. “But he’s an American hero! He won a gold medal in an Olympic event 40+ years ago in a sport that the viewers of his show can’t explain! A HERO!!!111” Yes, because the media would react in the same way if Mark Spitz went the transgendered route, no one would care.
Transgendered is something I can’t wrap my bigoted cisgendered heteronormative brain around. And that’s fine. Tolerance for me is leaving someone alone to do what makes them happy.
However, she’s a fucking Kardashian, without a doubt, part of the most reprehensible family put on this earth in the last hundred years. Publicity whores that contribute nothing to the world.
There comes a point where the unreality show idea guys run the whole Freaks R Us theme into the ground.
Duck Dynasty was on for several seasons before someone I know and trust told me to try watching an “episode.” That lured me in and I watched several more shows just to get a handle on whether these guys and gals are for real or not.
What is so wonderful about the Duck Dynasty family is how they have turned the pages on the freaks who tune in to snicker at them. I can’t imagine anything Caitlyn Jenner could do that would make me comfortable with how s/he is totally wrapped around the concept of self-exploitation in the quest for fame and fortune.
I would watch the episode where s/he runs with the bulls in Pamploma or mud wrestles De Blasio. Otherwise, s/he is like Geraldo opening yet another empty vault or tomb.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch the trainwreck that is Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner. The Kardashians was bad enough.
Reality TV just has no appeal for me.
For me, Bruce Jenner died, and I mourn his passing and treasure my own memories of these Olympic moments.
Caitlyn Kardashian is a true-daughter of the over-extended and over-exposed Kardashian clan, and I don’t want or need to watch the mindless-antics of yet-another Kardashian.
This is another case of people living in Echo Chambers. “I don’t know anyone who voted for George Bush”. Everyone for gay marriage didn’t realize feminists so destroyed marriage that now its if just offering someone to take 1/2 your stuff and be forced to make alimony payments for life. Every hospital in the nation has at least one surgeon whose wife divorced him so she could enjoy 1/2 his pay but not have to deal with his schedule.
I believe Jenner transitioned to being a woman driver when he killed a woman in February.
There is no such thing as reality TV… It is all scripted and manipulated by the producers. Some people now think this how people really live and they want to emulate them. Very sad
It’s funny you’re such and DS9 fan.
I’ve always wish Obama would do to the Tea Party as Sisko did to the Maquis Solosos III. The Tea Party and the Maquis are really one and the same.
@ Chicago Nick: I think that’s a little strong. I would put, say, the Kims, or the House of Saud, or the Husseins ahead of the Kardashians. At least Kardashians aren’t guilty of mass murder.
I had to laugh having a teen and a tween. This middle aged man has been nominated in the teen choice awards. We are truly looking for the looking glass in this country.
So here’s a thought: as I understand the synopsis of the show, this past Sunday’s episode had the revelation that Bruce/Caitlyn is still, deep down inside, “rather conservative” (as Mediaite put it—read “Republican”).
Could it be that the SJW enthusiasts who have been watching the series this far were turned off by that?
Isn’t DS9 a little too mature for the self admitted paedophile?
The entertaining part is that the child James Edward, in his attempt to troll, doesn’t realize that the name “Maquis” is an allusion and tribute to World War II French and Spanish resistance fighters — and that it was used precisely because the Cardassians were modeled on and follow similar fascist and racist attitudes as did the Nazis.
So in other words, James Edward just admitted that he idolizes and wants Obama to act like Hitler and Franco.
But that’s typical. James Edward is a totalitarian who wants all political opponents murdered, just as is the case for the vast majority of gay liberals and Obama supporters.
Shows that are hyped up generally drop in ratings after the premier. Why VtheK takes extra particular zeal in this is bewildering.
Is fascism/totalitarianism a left wing ideology or are they extreme ends of both left wing and right wing ideologies?
