So Basketball Wives LA Is A Ratings Fail

Based on our mentions when we live-tweet through “Basketball Wives LA” on Monday nights we kind of had an inkling no one was really watching the show, but we didn’t realize no one was watching.

Rhymes With Snitch sort of blew the lid off the ratings fail, using data from TV By The Numbers which shows this ranking for BBWLA this past week:

Basketball Wives LA 2 VH1 8:00 PM 1.198 0.6

FYI, 0.6 is not a good rating. The slip has actually been pretty gradual for season 2 of “Basketball Wives LA” which premiered with 1.81 million views in September, dropped to 1.4 million the next week, and is now hovering somewhere below the 1.2 million mark. Just to be clear it’s these ladies and not VH1, “T.I. and Tiny,” which comes on after BBWLA, is pulling in better rank with 1.34 million views this past Monday, and even “Chrissy and Mr. Jones” beat out both of them with 1.41 million views.

None of these shows is anywhere close to the figures rache’ “Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta” pulled in, which hovered around 3.7 million viewers during its first season, but if BBWLA’s rank keeps dropping these ladies could soon find themselves unemployed. And since none of the cast members appears to have a plan B (besides being video chicks) I’m thinking they better step up their side hustle game in the next few weeks.

Have you been watching “Basketball Wives LA” at all?

    This should be called the Jackie show.

    I don’t find it entertaining to watch women sitting around restaurants, each others homes, going shopping and talking about each other while drinking wine because they think it makes them look sophisticated. Do any of these ladies have jobs (please exclude photo shoots)?

  • StephLuv

    This show is straight up BORING! They should call it the I Hate Jackie Show cause all they ever do is complain about Jackie!

    I just watched the last episode, but I have missed most of the season. I’m embarrassed for Jackie. I rooted, for her last season. I try to believe that these shows are scripted, but I don’t think all of what these ladies portray is scripted. Those women and their lust for each other is really coming through this season. IMO, Gloria, Jackie and Malaysia must, also, be bi along with Draya. And they’re making the whole ordeal between Gloria and her sister pretty vague. How much you want to bet the root of their discord is over some man? Jackie and her husband just need to be real, they’re both bisexual swingers. They HAVE to renew their vowels every year to help them believe the lie they call their marriage.

    The whole series just needs to drown, already. Most of the cast members haven’t even been basketball player wives. At the least, all of their relationships/marriages are really, and truly, shams.
