Ratings for Bruce Jenner’s ‘I Am Cait’ Are In, and Guess What?

Well, after getting more media coverage than a world war, Bruce Jenner’s new “coming out” TV reality show “I Am Cait,” debuted and the ratings are in. And they aren’t good.

Looks like not only do the American people seem not to care much[1] about “Caitlyn Jenner,” but the critics thought the show was “boring.”

According to live-plus-same day Nielsen ratings, the premier of Jenner’s solo reality show only brought an audience of 2.73 million.

Many anticipated “I am Cait” would be the biggest hit on TV this year, but the season premier only brought in slightly higher numbers than an average “Keeping Up With The Kardashian” episode.

The ratings were not the only things that were down. A number of critics found the show to be “staged,” some even calling it “boring.”

Now, let’s contrast that anemic 2.73 million viewers with the number that tuned in to see the season 4 debut of “Duck Dynasty.”

Yeah, it was 11 million viewers[2] who tuned in to see the Ducksters and they’ve been on the air for four years already!

And people are saying “Duck Dynasty” is LOSING its audience!

Yeah, it looks like the driers in some Laundromats have more viewers than “I Am Cait.”
