Bristol Palin’s Lifetime Reality Series Bombs
By NELLIE ANDREEVA
The premiere of Lifetime’s new reality series Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp last night drew an underwhelming 726,000 total viewers and 254,000 adults 18-49. The series starring Sarah Palin’s daughter fell dramatically from its lead-in, Dance Moms, which delivered 1.8 million total viewers and 992,000 18-49s. Life’s a Tripp also was well below the debut of the Lifetime’s now-defunct Roseanne Barr docureality series Roseanne’s Nuts, which opened with 1.6 million total viewers and 863,000 in adults 18-49 before falling off precipitously in subsequent airings.
