Blame Lachey!

Filed under: Reality Television > Nick Lachey

wenn5166610.jpg

It's official!

Nick Lachey = the kiss of death.

The second episode of ABC's reality show High School Musical: Get In The Picture fell 18% in the ratings.

Not to mention that it had shiteous numbers during its premier on Sunday.

The show has now become the lowest-rated Monday night show among the major broadcast networks.

This has resulted in ABC's lowest-rated Monday night in three years.

One insider says, “People always try to sell us reality shows based on football — because nothing scores higher ratings then football. But people watch football because it’s actually football."

The sources adds, "A reality show about football — like a reality show about ‘High School Musical’ — it’s like you’re trying to sell the viewer with something that the show is not. Plus, it’s a kids brand on a network that targets adults 18 to 49. And, in this case, the show’s prize is weak, so the stakes are low.”

That makes sense.

Why would 18 to 49 year olds want to watch a HSM reality show? They should have aired that on the Disney channel or the ABC Family channel.

Poor Nick Lachey. He can't seem to get anything right.!

Failed marriage. Talentless girlfriend. Dead music career.

It seems like Lachey is better suited to join VH1's the Surreal Life instead of hosting his own show.

    I think everyone is tired of the Ameican Idol formatted shows. Besides we're used to being able to participate and they are picking the winner this week and all the eps are pre-recorded, Nick said on Jimmy Kimmel so who cares to watch when it's already over.

    Whoa, First one to comment?

    Nick Lachey isn't news worthy

  11. haha says – reply to this

    At least people actually watched it. Can't say that for Jessica's movies. Hope she marries Romo, has 4 kids, then just dissapears to be a mom. THAT would be GREAT! Plus hate the Cowboys so she will continue to fuck uo Hollywood Romo.

    …or you know he could start a website and do celebrity gossip and make fun of people he doesn't like. It doesn't take much talent to do that it seems.

  13. sack says – reply to this

    Nick is a quality person who genuinely cares about each venture he has done. He has never let Hollywood tell him how to act and lives his life with grace.

    PH those moments are passed, you cannot see anything if you are not engaged in the present condition. You are too hung up on history and what might be. What is happening is happening right NOW. Figure it out…………

    lol i'm one of the few people that watched the show and although it was a super boring show i thought nick lachey was a decent host…a lot better than some of the other hacks that are out there

  16. RMH says – reply to this


    16

    Hey Perez how about reporting about Madonna admitting adultery????

  17. Krist says – reply to this


    17

    Personally, I like Nick. Jessica is the dumbass responsible for their marriage failing (or really, letting her father control her).

    The show is lame - not Nick. I watched BECAUSE of him.

    I really hope they get him on DWTS - I'd love to watch him on there.

    Sometimes I really don't get your distaste for certain people, yet you like someone as shallow and insignificant as Paris Hilton.

  18. jewel says – reply to this

    AAAWWWW! I feel sorry for him. Jessica is the no talent not Nick. I wish him the best but loved it that Jessica was booed at her concert over the weekend. I cannot stand her.

    LACHEY RUES! HE MAY NOT HAVE ANY TALENT BUT HE IS A NICE GUY!

  20. WTF says – reply to this

    It's not Nick. When you see something in the listings called High School Musical: Get In The Picture, who's going to turn it on? Just sounds like a stupid show by the name.

  21. AbC says – reply to this

    What about Celebrity Rehab? All these failures would make someone do some serious drugs!! Should make some money off of it.

    Perez
    You fuckin fat homo loser, why would you insult lachey when you'd never amount to the success he's already achieved.

    Go back to Cuba, you beyotch. I hate that you put people down when you've never been "all that" and will NEVER BE "ALL THAT". YOU LOSER.

    I LOVE NICK , ITS NOT HIS FAULT THAT THE SHOW IS STUPID YOU DUMB ASS PEREZ .

  28. chris says – reply to this


    28

    What the f**k are you talking about. Are you gonna pick on Lachey like you do to Jessica Alba. Nick Lachey last CD was just fantastic. He is coming out with a new one in the fall. What has he failed at besides this show - in which he is acting like a host?
    I don't think that the doom of this show has anything to do with Lachey.

    WAS YOUR WONDERFUL MADONNA'S CAREER DOOMED AFTER SHE "ACTED" IN ALL THOSE MOVIES THAT WERE PANNED BECAUSE OF HER LOUSY ACTING?

    Leave Nick along. I don't like pink toes but Nick is very nice looking.

  31. Jeff9 says – reply to this


    31

    Why blame Nick? He is only the host of the show…maybe no one wanted to watch a stupid reality show about a lame tween show. Nick is sure better then that stupid ex wife of his.

    You are just cruel!!!!!

  33. Leah says – reply to this


    33

    Perez - why the big hard on for Nick Lachey? What has he done to you? Yes - he might have the lamest girlfriend on the planet, but Nick is not a bad guy. Why are you knocking the guy for being the host of a show? It's the show that sucked, not Nick's hosting skills. I don't understand you sometimes. Nick knows his boundaries in acting/singing and has parlayed his talent into something that other big egos wouldn't bother with - hosting. Nick has too much class and potential to go call it a day and join a stupid reality show like the Surreal Life. Let the Tara Reid's of the world worry about the Surreal Life, and cut Nick a break. At least he still has his dignity, which you shamelessly try to strip away from him with your shallow, dismissive comments.

  38. Amand says – reply to this

    Someone sounds jealous and bitter. Nick is a nice guy that isn't up Hollywoods ass (Like someone named Perez Hilton, er, Mario). You really do just like to pick apart anyone just to make a story. It's pathetic really.

    FU

    It's not his fault it failed the show sucks its boring!

  46. susan says – reply to this


    46

    Are you for real Perez? It never ceases to amaze me how your always blaming the wrong person for the failure of something. Nick Lachey has no control over when or who airs the program. Thats ABC that does that. You correctly pointed out it should have aired on Disney. Then the ratings would have been huge for Disney with Nick as host. Start using your brain alittle and get it correct when your placing blame.



  47. 47

    At least he is a "has been". Perez you are a never "was been"

    Could have something to do with the fact that none of those teenagers have a lick of talent… none of them. Not a one.

    But of course neither did the ones on High School Musical either… so hmm…

    Hes good eyecandy but not a good host. Maybe he should try a spread in playgirl magazine and he'll earn his money that way.

    Failed marriage. Talentless girlfriend. Dead music career.

    I will say that Lachey is beloved in his hometown of Cincinnati. Maybe he should think about becoming a local celebrity.

    no wonder, look at these pants and suit,

    no style, just hideous , he needs a good stylist and to ditch the slag

    Nick is adorable. I love him!
    His last album debuted at #2 on the charts and he won the reality competition last year.
    Nick and Jessica were a classic example of when the whole was greater than the sum of the parts………….. or synchronicity.
    Still pulling for Team Lachey…………..

    i dont' think you can blame Nick for this, blame ABC for this lame ass show. Enough with the singing shows come up w/something that will hold audience attention. I tuned in and before commercial I took a break. LMAO

  58. ME says – reply to this


    58

    Well no shit!

    People like me, who thought it would be a good show, tuned in for the 1st episode. Then when we all realized that it sucked, didnt turn in the second time.

  61. Carri says – reply to this


    61

    The show is just lame. I think people are just tired of Talen Shows! Nick isn't the reason the ratings are low. If ABC wants to boost rating, Nick should host shirtless. Say what you want the man has an amazing body. Cut him some slack he has to endure a marriage to Jessica Simpson.

  62. joker says – reply to this


    62

    I've never liked this idiot. He stands there like he's Mr. Confident but his aura reeks of insecurity. He's probably one of those guys that you have to constantly stroke his ego to make him feel worthy. I'm so happy Jessica divorced this ugly needy man-child!

    I agree with you Preaz! Nick Lachey is a huge douchebag! He has a little pee pee and sings like a grily man. We've had enough of this has-been. Go back to being a boybander, Nicky boy!

  67. Stacy says – reply to this


    67

    I would do him all night and day! Its just a show!



  68. 68

    I don't think it's Nick. I think it's the fact that HSM is STUPID and played out. Disney milks things until you just want to shut your ears and scratch your eyes out before you see it again! Plus Jessica is a first class dumbass. She's lucky he stayed around as long as he did. He may not be so big now, but at least he's still working, even if it's for a show that's doomed to fail because NO ONE gives a SHIT about HSM except preteens!

    Dude, it's not nick lachey, it's just the show.

    No one with a functioning cerebrum would watch a show with such a trite and overdone concept.
    a REALITY TALENT-SEARCHING show about HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.
    Need I say more?

  72. anes says – reply to this


    72

    If you watched the show (I did - dont have my remote and was too lazy to change)..it in itself is stupid..w./ or w/o lachey..it wouldve been horrible. They are performing to 3 judges and it looked like there were maybe 10 people in the audience watching. Not only that - the kids were talentless - Nick Lachey acted how he shouldve - bored out of his mind.

    that's unfair to him because that shows really not bad, but since its associated with high school musical…people assume it's not worth watching

  77. andre says – reply to this


    77

    could it be the fact that its a stupid show and thats why people didnt watch it?!



  78. 78

    I don't think Nick Lachey or High School Musical are the reason for the low ratings. I think people are just tired of singing reality show contests.

  79. Victi says – reply to this

    Are the Jonas Brothers are on that show ? If theyre not, then that show deserved to drop 18% in ratings.

  83. truth says – reply to this


    83

    You're a moron. Nick Lachey is NOT the problem. Families outside of Hollywood and New York are just sick and tired of freaking reality tv. There is NOTHING good on television anymore for families. It's all shallow, scripted "reality" drama. It's all drivel and the television industry "suits" need to get a clue as to what middle America wants to see on television. The world outside of Hollywood is not all shallow. Some of us still enjoy watching shows that promote family values, etc.
    Also, we are way over HSM. The original was adorable for our kids but they sequels have all been thrown together with lousy music and weak scripts. Most of all, the two main stars of the show have destroyed the franchise. Neither Zach, nor Vanessa are anything like the sweet, innocent people they play on the screen. There is no way for kids or parents to forget the arrogant, narcissistic skanyness that is Zach and Vanessa when watching them in the movies. That ruins everything. Disney should have dumped BOTH of them after the first movie. Poor Nick is paying the price for the damage done by these two nasty little brats.

    I feel like I have to comment here, not like I really care about Nick L or anything–but Perez, you are way out of line to talk so much smack about Nick. He is a very talented singer, and should really be making another 98 degree type album filled with LOVE SONGS

  90. wrong says – reply to this


    90

    I was cut off there. Anyway, Nick, if you're reading this, screw what P Nasty is saying about you. Just keep working out and record more LOVE SONGS with that sweet sultry voice of yours which made America fall in love with you in the first place. Singing about your pain like with your split w/ Jess is what we all want b/c we are are people with feelings. Stop MCing for shows b/c that isn't your thing.

    Such a nasty fat queen you are, Perez. You'll stoop to such incredible BS to start some sh*t. You try to paint Lachey as some kind of pariah but you cite a source who plainly points to the show's failure as a result of many other things that have NOTHING to do with Nick Lachey. Do you really believe all the crap that you write here?

  97. James says – reply to this


    97

    He is better than you Perez. He should get back together with 98 degrees though and I think it might help revive his career. I would love to do analingus all over his sexy ass and butthole and suck his dick till his muscles bulge and he cums all in my mouth and treat me like his little bitch!

    Could it really be that nobody care about High School Musical except the 6-13 yr old group. How many in that age range are indoors to watch tv right now!

  100. eric says – reply to this


    100

    I believe the real reason for the poor rating is the name of the show. Follow me now I actually like the concept of the show and watch on Sunday night but really how many adults especially of the male variety are going to go out of there way to watch this show not many! This equals poor rating not Lachey
