Jessica Simpson’s Reality Show Bombs

VH1 reality show The Price of Beauty were…ugly.

Despite heavy promotion, Monday’s premiere attracted just 1 million viewers. Around 487,000 people tuned in for the encore later in the night. The show got beat by a rerun of NCIS on USA, a TruTV series called Operation Repo and History Channel’s Pawn Stars (which rocks by the way).

Just so you’ll understand how bad only 1 million viewer is, former American Idol Fantasia Barrino had a stronger debut for her VH1 reality show, Fantasia For Real. Her show premiere nabbed 2.3 million viewers and no one gives a crap about her.

A VH1 rep tells Us: “We’re very pleased with the show. A million-and-a-half viewers tuned in that night to see the first episode. We expect that audience to build even more.”

Maybe if they get a new host. The premise is not bad…it’s just too painful to watch Jessica Simpson stumble her way through anything. Seriously VH1…we can’t take her seriously. If you want her on your network put her in a comedy.
