Lindsay Lohan Big Bust For Oprah's Network

Oprah was counting on Lindsay Lohan being a ratings machine. As with so many things Lindsay, the machine was a bust. True, the episode with Lindsay got slightly more viewers than an average episode by about 50,000 viewers, but it was still well under 1M viewers. Rihanna, who is just Rihanna and has not spent her life in jail and rehab, although a trip to rehab could probably be beneficial, got five times as many viewers as Lindsay and Rihanna is not even the top ratings grabber. The top was Whitney Houston's family followed by Lance Armstrong. Those were always going to be ratings winners, so I think it is important to compare Lindsay to someone like Rihanna. Of course that is a disservice to Rihanna because Rihanna has talent.
