Jon & Kate + Scandal = -40% Ratings. I should totally teach math on the side. After the Jon & Kate Plus 8 Memorial Day season 5 premiere pulled in an astonishing 9.8 million pairs of eyeballs, the show's next episode dropped by 40%!!!
Jon & Kate isn't in danger of being canceled any time soon, though, and the public's interest still thrives. Last Monday's 30-minute episodes pulled "5.5 million and 6 million viewers respectively." Jon and Kate is still kicking ass for a cable television show!
But who knows if another ratings plunge is in the works? Monday's episode didn't address the fragile state of Kate Gosselin and Jon Gosselin's marriage. Instead, both of the 30-minute episodes revolved around material which had already been shot prior to their alleged cheating scandal.

On the heels of Jon & Kate's ongoing controversy, and the publicity they've generated, I totally thought this show would have shattering ratings! Guess not.
