(CelebNMusic247-News) Bethenny Frankel Talk Show Losing Ratings to Queen Latifah
Poor Bethenny Frankel, her show that got picked up may not last the test of time since her show is floundering in the ratings.
Rumor has it, Bethenny Frankel is NOT happy that her show is being plagued by D-List guest and continues to struggle.
Personally we have been enjoying her show, but fans are tuning into Queen Latifah‘s talk show instead. Unfortunately “fans” aren’t tuning in to Bethenny’s show whihc she hoped would catapult her out of the reality television genre and give her the opportunity to connect one-on-one with her fans.
She’s being slaughtered in the ratings by Queen Latifah, who surprisingly turned out to be her biggest talk show rival.
A source told Star Magazine (print edition).
“Bethenny is livid about Queen Latifah beating her – she can’t believe this is happening,”
Indeed Bethenny’s ratings have been slipping. Bethenny’s show is averaging a .9 Nielsen rating while Queen Latifah is nabbing a healthy 1.4.
The former reality star mistakenly assumed she would be a shoe-in success.
The source explains:
“Bethenny was overjoyed when Kris Jenner‘s show got canned, because she figured Kris was her biggest competition.”
“She had no idea that Queen Latifah would be the one to crush.”
The problem is Bethenny Frankel is “buying her own hype” in believing she’s a bigger celebrity and more popular than she is.
The source reveals:
“Unfortunately she’s still seen as a Real Housewife.”
“This is a huge embarrassment.”
The source adds. Bethenny is in a demographics lurch and is unable to find a solid fanbase.
She adds:
“She’s holding crisis talks in order to figure out what Latifah has that she doesn’t,”
“People just like Latifah better.”
“She’s too raunchy for suburban moms but too old for Millenials.”
“Bethenny is caught between demographics.”
And to make matters worse for Bethenny is having issues grabbing A-list guests like Justin Bieber, but after her brutal divorce started decimating her reputation, Bethenny isn’t able to consistently attract the same level of celebrity. In fact, she has been relying on Real Housewives and reality stars to occupy her stage.
While Queen Latifah is boasting Jamie Foxx and other mega celebrities of her own status. “Bethenny has been stuck with D-list reality stars like Coco Austin and Snooki.”
Ouch!
Another issue is Bethenny Frankel has been labeled as a boss from hell who can’t keep a tight-knit team, while Latifah’s show is being produced in part by Jada Pinkett Smith with a set designed by Lenny Kravitz!
Bottom line Bethenny talk show clock is ticking and if she doesn’t make sweeps she will be following Kris Jenner on the road of Epic Fail.
