Matic asks, 'Is VH1 Taking Viewers For Granted?'

So for 5 weeks we've been experiencing the massive decline in the quality of VH1 shows. It really doesn't do me or anybody else any good to say anything about what's wrong with Daisy of Love, Charm School 3 and New York Goes to Work because we already know the answer. However it does make me truly wonder why these shows are doing so horribly and what honestly can be done to make these shows better. This is all my opinion but I wanted to share what I have noticed and writing a long comment isn't quite good enough for this.

New York Goes to Work:

This show is unbearable to watch, yet, simple changes such as having better jobs choices would make the show profoundly better.
Simply put, we hate New York when she's taken out of her element (cursing people out and talking about them).
The predictability of said jobs makes people want to want to skip the show because we already know what's going to happen.

Undeservingly, this show is actually doing better than I expected, ratings wise. It has already performed better than the first 4 episodes of NYGTH and DOL.
NYGTW isn't failing miserably like I expected because black viewers are keeping it afloat; accounting for nearly 60% of the total audience. Added to that fact, viewers are choosing which episodes to watch, as the ratings display an inconsistent pattern.

Conclusion:
It's inevitable that ratings would decline as we become bored of, or savvy to VH1's diet of reality TV; but big personalities will always attract an audience.
Unless VH1 can tweak the formula, cast watchable characters, or in New York's case; return her to the type of show she does best; it won't be long before no VH1 show can attract a profitable audience.

It will be interesting to see the effect of this garbage on the surefire hits to come; Real Chance Of Love 2, For The Love Of Ray J 2, and Megan Wants A Millionaire.
