Aren't the ratings pretty much on par with Freak Show's?

Freak Show turned a lot of people off, and this season overall isn't that great from what I've watched, so the ratings are far from abysmal.

It's always the same people, and then they piss and moan when they get dragged back.

It's really sad, sending the Kats love

Not the Gaga fans that came for Jessica Lange's wig as if Gaga was a ratings draw/great actress herself.

I guess Gaga could only do so much after that horrible season that was Freakshow.

almost the series low and it's only episode 3

This is CLEARLY Gaga's fault. I mean, she's responsible for every single aspect of the show. Not to mention the dangerous, visceral reaction the general public experiences when laying eyes upon her. I'm honestly surprised that there hasn't been a revolt over this, or that the US government hasn't gotten involved.
