Jon & Kate Ratings Continue to Drop

Here’s another reason to support family values: Happy marriage = high ratings.

Jon and Kate Gosselin, once the reality show poster couple for the all-American family, are in danger of succumbing to -- gasp! -- low ratings. Since announcing their plans to divorce, the pair’s reality show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, has consistently dropped in viewers. And on Monday, the show hit its all-time low, attracting just 1.714 million viewers.
To put it in perspective, when the reality show returned for a one-hour special on June 22 following the Gosselins announcement that they were separating, 10.6 million people tuned in to watch. That’s an 84 percent plunge in viewership. And the drop has been consistent. Since August 3, the show has lost 62 percent of viewers. According to TVbythenumbers.com, 4.2 million people watched Jon & Kate Pus 8 on August 3. On Aug. 10, 3.4 million tuned in. 3 million watched on Aug. 17, and this last Monday, the show got just 1.714 million viewers.

wow that is a huge drop. I have a feeling this show is going to be ending pretty soon. Which is great for those precious kids. They need some normalcy in their lives.

Stay away from the darkside. It just creates more negativity. Radaronline want's to stir up controversy. That's why we're all blogging, giving our opinions, etc, etc.

hi cherry, yeah I seen that. I really don't think that was just added for nothing. I think somebody went and did that to stir up some drama

Hi YB2, just went back to read your reply to yikes. Such a shame isn't it? Nothing normal about people who think that's funny.

Jon recently got a new attorney, which will probably slow down the divorce. But it is possible to be legally divorced and still not have a property/custody settlement in place. So, who knows?

Humm, OR maybe they got orders from their lawyers/judge to stop the crazy antics & calm down. Their divorce & property division should be interesting. What about the kids?

ybnormal2, yes it has been quietly eerie. Could be the divorce is being finalized so both need to keep a low profile. Won't be surprised if other kid's parents on the bus file an injunction to keep the paps away from the bus area.

Really! Can you imagine getting up wanting to sneak your kids to the bus stop in sweats, pony tail & sunglasses as usual, but now gotta get dressed up to go to the bus stop for fear you could get photographed!

It is unfortunate but a result of media overexposure. Guess J&K are living the karma of the actions. Unfortunately the other kids/parents are innocent victims of J&K being media mongers.
