Cross-Dresser Bruce Jenner's New Show "I Am Cait" Loses Half Its Audience

HollywoodReporter.com:

E! may be playing the waiting game for those precious DVR views, but time-shifting likely can't change the tenor of I Am Cait's second week at bat.

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.

All told, the first episode of I Am Cait already has reached 7.7 million viewers. But that number is a combination of encores and time-shifting. The original telecast of I Am Cait's premiere fetched a more modest 3.9 million viewers with its first round of DVR views.

Though I Am Cait is bringing young viewers to its Sunday slot, 1.3 million viewers is lower than any episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians ever has pulled among live-plus-same-day showings.

Finally, the general public seems to be waking up to the fact that despite all the makeup, dresses, Vogue covers and a liberal media that celebrates everything his every move, Bruce Jenner is still a sad man/cross-dresser with a severe mental illness.
