Ratings DIP for Season Premiere of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’

The Kardashian feuds failed to boost ratings for their reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Kim Kardashian, right, and her husband Kanye West were spotted on a date night at Matsuhisa Restaurant in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

According to TV By The Numbers, the KUWTK season premiere led the Sunday cable ratings, but the premiere was off a tenth from last year's premiere in the all-important adults 18-49 demographic.

The KUWTK premiere managed to draw just 1.3 million eyeballs on Sunday, despite their feuds playing out in the comments section on the popular @TheShadeRoom Instagram blog. The days of 3 million viewers is no longer attainable for the Kardashians, who have overstayed their welcome on social media.

Even their followers call them out for faking drama to boost their TV ratings.

Meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian, left, is doing her part to keep the drama going by pretending to break up with longtime boyfriend Younes Bendjima. They seem to "break up" whenever matriarch Kris Jenner is desperate to boost ratings for their scripted reality show.

Kourtney stepped out for a little shopping with her daughter Penelope Disick and friends, after news of her most recent breakup with Younes hit social media. Younes was pictured frolicking in Mexico with rapper Tyga's ex. Kourtney and Younes will likely get back together as soon as Kris gives them the green light.

  • morenYAHdelsur

    I haven’t seen this show in 8-10 years. When they lived in that regular äss house in Calabasas. When Kim was naturally pretty. When Khloe was the nice one. When Rob was skinTy. When Kylie and Kendall were KIDS!

    I cannot wait for them to fade into obscurity.

  • pure_rachet

    NONE. It stayed over 80 degrees last night. And humid.

  • disqus_DxKO3ThTGI

    One day at work I had watched all my youtube shows so I decided to watch their beginning episodes and tbh, I actually liked it.....before the fame/money came they were more relatable and the show was more realistic based. I'm shamed to admit but the beginning years were good. The show was only 30 minuets I think.

  • ?Patty Kakes?

    Right!!! I used to really like her style back then. I don't understand women that allow their man to dress them

  • disqus_DxKO3ThTGI

    Nope, its not just you. lmao

  • disqus_DxKO3ThTGI

    I'll say it again.... I think Kanye got a huge member under his shorts and he may know how to use it. That's why she aint left his goofy ass. IMO of course.....lol

  • GAPeach

    Kim looks hot, and not in a good way. It's August and she has on a plastic tank, leather skirt, and boots. I wish she would stop letting Kanye dress her.

  • GAPeach

    I just said the same thing before I saw your comment.

  • morenYAHdelsur

    It was cool at first! They were rich, but regular rich LOL.

    Don’t they look completely different now?! LOL

  • SingleGalCrazyWorld

    Or her clothing....Kim used to dress so fly before she got with Nuts & Bolts (Kanye)...

  • ?Patty Kakes?

    I did see a picture of it before and now that I think about it. With that and the clout and money he has can probably really change a girl ???

  • SingleGalCrazyWorld

    Kim look crazy and that pic she posted before looking like a Life Alert patient was tacky...I only like Rob he's so sexy regardless of how big or small he gets...

  • http://sandrarose.com SandraRose

    Nobody. That's why they went so hard on social media trying to boost interest in that tired show. ?

  • Logan Roberts

    I have no words, thoughts or prayers for this bull crap here.

  • disqus_DxKO3ThTGI

    O u did? So he does have something to be proud of???? I'm telling you, Kim ain't just with him for the money.......As embarrassing as Kanye will get, she staying to support his foolishness on top........Naw, it's his bedroom skills and tongue skills that got that middle part ( Straight) going down the hair........lmao

    I seriously doubt their numbers are real. They should have cancelled this garbage long ago. Someone in that family needs to do something even more provocative to extend the life of it but I doubt that would work.

  • ???TheRider???

    Does this trick even know how hot af it is in LA? Why is she wearing a rubber dress & boots? It’s almost 4 and it’s still 106 in the valley.

  • Reenaface

    Told ya'll the spell was wearing off....Got Kanye looking at the front door.???????????????

  • Reenaface

    I wish that E! would replace their show with E True Hollywood story. That show was the sh!t.

  • chrissy w

    Yay! Keep it up everyone ??

  • Rhyme and Reason

    Even if the Kardashians mysteriously disappeared out of the public eye, , some network would be standing in line to produce the next family with no talent, or who's exciting to look at as Kim puts it!

    Even Kris nor her children would have believed how vapid people are and believe in this celebrity BS!

    Our value system sucks, what a Dumbed Down America, and the Kardashians are certainly beneficiaries (of society's low self-esteem)!

  • missmiami305

    This bish really think she’s fly?. Kim looks so orange and her lips look horrid. Since upon a time and a zillion faces ago she looked a lot better. Now, she’s a walking freak show. She seems to be consumed with perfection and that doesn’t exist. North is going to be a mess due to her parents abuse. They worship vanity.

  • missmiami305

    Omg did she actually say that? There are a million of her clones in the entire country. Nothing original about them and their bullish blueprint of horrid cosmetic surgery.

  • missmiami305
  • missmiami305

    I think they have the industry on their payroll and buy a lot of their followers. They wouldn’t be shid without endorsing bullish products via IG.

  • missmiami305

    IKR! Wtf watches this crap

  • missmiami305

    If I were rich, I’d plaster their OLD FACES on a billboard saying something like JUST SAY NOTI VANITY.

  • missmiami305

    I think they embellish their numbers.

    What the hell that little girl has on. Just look at her face. She's being force to promote kanye garbage line. Watch when she's back with Sophia and scott. She looks girly and cute with a smile. Kim just missing a pole, scank.

  • KenHay

    I thought Kanye had lipo...where's the results?

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    ???

  • shay2shaymd

    I'm confused. Is it summer or winter? Why is Kim wearing knee high boots? SMH

  • SpiceGirl

    lol.....

  • SpiceGirl

    pahahahahaha......that was funny.....

  • Rhyme and Reason

    I definitely AGREE, but the money talks, even if the amount is exaggerated, the actual or perceived net worth and followers is the blueprint for a network, advertisers, and product companies or as merchandisers (makeup lines, apparel, apps, etc.)

    Kim and her sisters’ deformed butts, plastic surgery, photoshopped images, storylines and plot-twists are nothing unique, daring, or ingenius!

    I remember when a friend of mine couldn’t see the JLO phenomenon, and thought she was just VERY average across the board (looks, singing, dancing, acting)!

    And, today Kim [and others] is an [MEDIA-DRIVEN] attempt to recreate or replace people who did something [a talent or skill] for their [mega] fame and fortune!

    Yeah it was.

  • takenaback

    The ratings has been low for a long time. I can't understand why they get 60 million and 2 million salary is a struggle for some Rhoa cast. Maybe their advertising dollars are thru the roof.

  • http://sandrarose.com SandraRose

    I don't think the advertisers care that only about a million people are tuning in to the show. This despite the fact that the Kardashians have over 200 million followers on social media. Clearly followers don't translate to TV ratings.

  • Val

    I have not; no interest. I watch TMC old classic movies when actors really had talent. Kim doesn't know herself anymore when she looks in the mirror, and doesn't know if she wants to look like Cher or Elvira. Actually, she looks like her ugly ass old 60ish mother;exactly like Kris.

  • Val

    LOL! Is that the one that claims to have made a baby with uglyass Travis Scott? He is butt ugly and I hope he know that baby cannot be his lmao w/ eyeroll.

  • Val

    She looks like that transvestite that was on that show trying to become a transgender model on Bravo; I swear.

  • Val

    Wow! That is hot. I live on the east coast and it gets hot here in August, so I can imagine what it must feel like in California. I have no desire to ever live there. I'll deal with the 4 seasons we have here which all have something beautiful to offer.

  • Val

    Yep, with that long face. When she had plastic surgery she should have asked the doctor to shorten her face and to fix that big knot on her forehead where she keeps getting botox to tighten her skin.

  • Val

    He doesn't strike me as someone who is good in bed. He's a cornball n***a if anything.

  • Val

    Kidding? She cannot leave this damn fool if she wanted to because he gonna tell all about her and the freaky deaky family; bank on it!

  • SpiceGirl

    Pahahahahaha....that was funny
