Fading star: Caitlyn loses half her audience

Caitlyn Jenner as she appears in I Am Cait. Picture: E! NetworkJUST A few weeks ago she was arguably the most talked about woman on the planet, but it seems people are quickly losing interest in Caitlyn Jenner.
The second episode of her reality TV show, I am Cait, attracted less than half the number of US viewers that tuned in for the first episode.
That’s quite a drop.

According to Entertainment Weekly, 3.9 million American’s watched or recorded the program when it debuted a week and a half ago but only 1.3 million tuned in for episode two which aired in the US over the weekend.
For comparison, more than 17 million American’s watched Jenner’s 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer back in April.
The head honchos at E! won’t be too thrilled with I Am Cait’s ratings, especially because they reportedly paid the 65-year-old a whopping $6.45 million for the eight-episode docu-series.
In Australia, the first episode of I Am Cait has grabbed a cumulative audience of 234,000 viewers since its premiere on July 27. Of the 10 telecasts of episode 1 and the five telecasts of episode 2 which have aired in Australia to date, I Am Cait has reached 534,000 viewers in total.
