Did you get a chance to catch “Plastic Wives” on TLC? The show had a ton of publicity, with a segment on “Nightline” and “GMA,” among other programs. It had a great spot, following the wildly popular “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”
So how did it do in the ratings?
Drum roll please!
“Plastic Wives” had 0.806 million viewers, ranked #25 for the night on cable television. “Honey Boo Boo” had 1.9 million viewers, so it shows quite a precipitous drop-off with the debut of the Beverly Hills plastic surgery-based one hour special.
I assume the TLC brass aren’t too happy with the numbers, which are a surprise, given how incredibly popular the similarly-themed “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” program is. It looks like a second “Plastic Wives” show is pretty unlikely now. It wasn’t my cup-of-tea anyways. They lost me when the one woman brought out a specimen cup with her excised labia inside it. Disgusting!
