    Wowza!
    People can keept talking the talk, but I gotta admit this has been the Kardashian best season to date. The pregnancy, the wedding, any “plotline” was interesting.
    Btw, I like to think that they’re just the same people when the cameras are off, they’re just genuine.

      Did it ever occur to you that by watching these idiots you are putting money into their coffers. Why don’t you try being the star of your own life instead of living vicariously through these vacuous narcissists?

      • asdf

        Who is to say that she isn’t the star of her own life? Or that she lives vicariously through the Kardashians? Just because she watches an admittedly entertaining show doesn’t mean she’s vapid of devoid of meaning.

      • rerun

        Yeah, not sure if i see the difference between watching a scripted TV show vs a “reality” show. I love when people are jealous because other “no talents” make money and people actually pay attention to them. Sorry Cardsgal.

      • Cardsgal

        And I love when people assume that anyone who criticizes these so-called reality stars must be jealous. I wouldn’t trade places with any of the Kardashians in a million years. As this is an *entertainment* site, I think I am welcome to make judgments about what is/isn’t entertainment. Furthermore, I think judgments can certainly be made about the people who sit and soak up this drivel all day long, i.e. I doubt (with few exceptions) that they’re picking up Ben Franklin’s biography or solving the NTTimes Crossword when they turn off the tube.

        why did you even read this you loser?

      • Cardsgal

        cardsgals right. people that watch this stuff are just zombies with no life.

      • Are you for Real?

        That’s hillarious that you find it necessary to agree with and record support for your own comment in third person! How funny! But, Cardsgal, you are coming off pretty pretentious and snooty! Don’t read these articles if you are an anti-fan! I watch this grading papers and multi-tasking and I do have a life. A rather productive one for a matter of fact. So, back off!

      • Natalie

        Wow. Some idiot’s making assumptions about other people based on their viewing habits. Must be a Monday.

      • Kim

        You are utterly useless.

      • MANY

        DONT WATCH IT THEN….

    • Marguerite

      I would be really surprised if those posters who call the Kardashians vapid and vacuous actually watch the show. Sure, they talk Valley, but they are intelligent, hard working women who were obviously well raised. I admit to the same reservations about the show before I watched it, but after watching a couple of episodes, I have a lot of respect for them.

  • jezoebel

    Great, we’re gonna be stuck with another season with thse losers. Please cancel the KarTRASHians once and for all!!!

    • SLB

      People still actually watch these pathetic losers?

      • rerun

        I guess by the E rating record…yes

      • Beiber

        hi rerun

      • MANY

        i guess you are still watching them…

    • MANY

      JEZOEBEL….you must watch it all the time to want it cancelled. zip it!

  • dgh

    People really need to get over their obsession with celebrities its getting pathetic. Obama if you only do one more thing while in office please outlaw reality shows!!!!!

    • dgh

      Sorry, meant “pathetik”,

      • Jono

        uhm,I think you got it right the first time round lol. dont be “patheTIK”

  • jose

    I just read a report that said 4.8 million people may not graduate high school… I also hope one day my duaghter grows up to make a sex tape with someone famous, so that she can become a celebrity.

    • i’m graduating from college in may and i watched it. so screw you.

      • snoopy

        is it a 3rd rate school like Arizona State with a 96% admit rate? lmao.

      • Are you for Real?

        Good for you! I agree you don’t have to be an idiot to find this type of show entertaining once and awhile! I am a college professor and I watched it and I know about 4 more professors at my university that watch this as well. Sometimes light humor is relaxing.

  • JaySin420

    I was going to say I don’t get why anyone would watch this show but then again my new fave show is about a pawn shop lol.

    To each his own.

    • duffy

      hey atleast their actually DOING something with their life, and not getting rich off being brain dead and a sex tape.

  • yikes

    The Mayans were wrong 2010 is the end not 2012, take cover everyone

  • Cardsgal

    Yes, I’ve said it before – the popularity of these no-talent attention **ores must be a sign of the apocalypse.

  • Tina

    If you guys don’t like it, don’t watch it. There’s plenty of other stuff on! I think the show is hilarious and entertaining, which is all that it is meant to be.

    • Laura

      I completely agree. It’s dumb fluff. The Kardashians might not be very smart but they’re oddly endearing and quite hilarious.

    • MANY

      me too tina! i love the show. those idiots can watch something else, unless they dont know how!because they are glued to the kardashians!

  • adrian

    I love this show. It’s entertaining, stop hating on them. Everyone has their own taste.

  • mslacat

    Crap!! that means more of this spoiled rotten family and the more E looks like VH1 It used to be a great network for entertainment.

  • sparkle the gym bag

    unreal collective IQ of those 4.8 must have set a new all-time low…..

  • Deiko

    Really???? In all the years E! has been on the air this is the first time they have topped 4.8 million viewers. R u sure? I find this hard to believe as ratings for television shows in general have been going down. So in the nineties E! never got this many ratings. This is sad even for a cable network as entertaining as E!

    • rerun

      With the amount of times E! reruns all their shows i can see that actually. Apparently, this was must see TV…and no ice skating was on the Olympics or this would have done half the audience.

    • info

      Seems like Chelsea Handler would pull numbers like this once in awhile…guess not.

  • JJ.

    I’m not surprised by this and congrats to the show. It’s actually really entertaining; it’s almost like you think you’re watching a crazy scripted drama like Gossip Girl or Greys, but it just happens to be “reality” TV. That’s how fun their storylines get.

  • Yolanda

    I just got hooked on the show this season! It’s entertaining, everything in life does not have to be so deep people! And yes I do have a life BTW.

  • ben

    I’ve seen the future of America and now I think I’m gonna throw up.
