"Ellen" Has Lost More Than 1M Viewers

Or, as the Daily Beast puts it, "No longer in the same league as daytime rivals Dr. Phil or Kelly Ripa/Ryan Seacrest, the show’s ratings are now more on par with those of Maury Povich and Jerry Springer’s former security guard Steve Wilkos.

Ouch!

R59 The only way soaps could even stand a chance of coming back is if they get out of the dark ages and get into 2021 (more gay storylines, more diversity, etc). Most of the main original soap audience is dead. They would need to do something to attract young viewers. Young people are not interested in watching old rich white people who live in stuffy mansions.

She does this solely out of her desire to be “in” with all the big-name celebrities.

She is mean and sadistic. Anyone who has been paying attention should have been able to see this ages ago. She’s a phony who has always had a nasty streak that she has ineptly hidden by joking around — like the way that she conducts those stupid, demeaning games on her talk show and on the Game of Games.

How is Rachael Ray's show doing in the ratings? I'm asking because I saw an episode of it last month, and I imagine the only people watching are nursing home residents who cannot locate or work a remote. She was doing the show from her home kitchen, and it appeared as if she had just crawled out of bed (she wasn't wearing any makeup, her hair was a mess and she was wearing a huge brown sweater). Her husband was her cameraman and was doing a poor job (shaky, weird close-ups). And on top of all of that, she was making a nauseating dish which required at least 30 (!) ingredients.
