Gosselins Give ‘Palin's Alaska' Ratings Bump

[RamboLiberal]

Sunday night's (Dec. 12) episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska, featuring fellow TLC reality family The Gosselins, topped last week's viewership low, but fell short of the first and third week-numbers, continuing the series roller coaster ride through the ratings.

Alaska earned a 2.1 household rating and 3.1 million total viewers, according to Nielsen fast nationals, up from 2.8 million viewers the prior week.

The reality series has had an uneven performance in the ratings through its first several episodes. After its record-setting 5 million-viewer debut, Alaska fell to 3 million in its second week before it bounced up to 3.5 million in its third.

One Rough Camping Trip Later, Kate Thinks She Has Political Ambitions

Following Kate Gosselin's televised (and rough) camping trip with Sarah Palin, the mom of eight is now telling friends she too has political ambitions and would some day like to run for office.

"Honestly, Kate is unbelievable," an insider tells me. "Her ego is out of control at this point. Ever since 'Dancing With the Stars,' and the fact that she appeared on more consecutive covers of US Weekly than any celebrity ever, she thinks that she has what it takes to run for office."

The unlikely duo of Kate and Sarah was the brainchild of TLC, the network home for both of their reality shows. Pairing them on the latest episode of 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' which aired last night, helped bump ratings up 11 per cent. As Us put it, the two had "zero chemistry" and Kate has called the trip "the worst" of her life.
