Ratings for the Season Premiere Were Down |
So I went in search of empirical evidence to see if this were true or not. The Los Angeles Times reported that last week's season premiere was watched by "only" 7.7 million viewers. In comparison, last year's premiere of Brad Womack's second chance at love on the Bachelor (which was noted as "already one of the show's lowest premieres") had 9 million viewers. (Brad's first season in 2007 had 9.6 million viewers for the premiere and over 11.6 million for the finale.)
For comparison's sake, last week's premiere of the Jersey Shore drew 7.6 million viewers even though it was on cable--not one of the broadcast networks. Maybe Mike Fleiss needs to cast Snooki as the next Bachelorette? Actually, let's hope not...
Bigger than The Bachelor? |
I predict that Caveman will grow on the show's traditional female fan base and perhaps win many of them over. And even if Caveman doesn't, the franchise will survive. How do I know? Well, Fleiss has already given us Byron Velvick, Bob Guiney, and Charlie O'Connell. Somehow, the show continued...
Love 'em or Leave 'Em? |
See you tomorrow night!
Okay, those three dudes at the end there ALMOST make the Caveman look attractive. Seriously, what are these women fighting over? The one on the left looks like a molester and the other two look like a poor man's Will Ferrell and Jerry O'Connell respectively. (Neither of whom are "rich" men, if you catch my drift.)
ReplyDeleteThat first picture of endangered species is great!
Em's comment cracked me up. I liked Charlie O''Connell even though he was completely drunk his entire season. I want to know more about you brother in law on Whose stll Standing?
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow night...I hope you are planning to recap again!
Here's hoping this show dies...along with Brooke's dedication to it!
