Damn. If those 30k people weren't busy cutting up their Macy's cards, they could have tuned in to support The Donald.

Donald Trump s Miss USA Pageant Earns Record-Low Ratings

Donald Trump’s "Miss USA" pageant has set a record -- but, uh, not a very good one.

The show, which networks Univision and NBC recently dropped after the Republican presidential candidate decided to stake out a position about Mexican immigrants being rapists, garnered its lowest ratings ever after airing on the little-known Reelz channel on Sunday.

A mere 925,000 people tuned in to the pageant, according to the ratings agency Nielsen. For Reelz, which reaches less than 60 percent of TV-watching homes, that's actually a pretty good number. But it’s a far cry from the roughly 5.5 million viewers who tuned in to the pageant on NBC last year. It's even a major step down from 2013, when the show’s viewership reached a then-record low of 4.6 million people.

Or they were showing support to Trump by not watching since he was dumped.

 

[theHawk]

Sounds like NBC just threw away a lot of advertising money.

Yeah that makes sense. Show support by not watching his show on the only network willing to air his off-brand pageant

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

So NBC punished a bunch of young women. How utterly sexist.

 

[airplanemechanic]

I wonder if the OP realizes it was broadcast last minute by a station that lots of people don't even get?

 

[Vandalshandle]

With, or without Trump's involvement, I have never understood why anyone watches that show.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

So people actually still watch it?
I remember forty years ago everyone watched...it was kind of like Walt Disney every Sunday night.

5.5 million people watched it last year. 925,000 this year.

5.5 Million people with nothing better to do than watch that tripe?
Thats just sad.

NBC punished one middle aged asshole who can't keep his mouth shut. If those young women want to be exploited and trotted around like cattle at a meat market, there are many other outlets for them to do so.

You apparently would rather look at boys.

With, or without Trump's involvement, I have never understood why anyone watches that show.

Surely, you can't be serious.

Right....because not caring for the Miss Whatever Pageant means you're gay.

Yeah, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out why some people watch it.
It's almost like not understanding why someone would want to look at a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

NBC punished a bunch of women over one bad apple. How sexist!

I know right? I thought the Donald had the "Midas Touch"

Well, I can understand why pre-teen boys might want the SI swimsuit edition, but it strikes me as pretty lightweight cheesecake for an adult.

Yeah. Pretty stupid to make the contestants and their families pay because you are offended by DT's free speech. Lib's need to grow up and stop being such cry babies.
