Have people become less curious about the fate of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage after the initial season premiere of Jon & Kate Plus 8? Ratings would indicated yes.

The second week’s installment of Jon & Kate Plus 8 lost 40% of viewers after last week’s record breaking 9.8 million who tuned in to watch the premiere.

The two episodes of Jon and Kate Plus 8 that aired Monday snagged 5.5 million and 6 million viewers, respectively.

Despite the loss of some viewers, those numbers are still pretty strong… but will the ratings drop further in coming weeks?
