Part 6/8:
While media outlets have attempted to spin the recent bump in ratings as a sign of Cobear’s resurgence, the host dismisses this as superficial and unsustainable. The sudden spike in viewership—reportedly up 81%—is characterized as a "curiosity-driven" phenomenon, driven by controversy and public interest in the scandal.
According to the host’s estimates, over a million households tuned in during the latest broadcasts, translating roughly to a few million viewers. However, he emphasizes that this surge is fleeting and irrelevant in the broader context. Cobear's inability to generate meaningful, long-term interest over the past decade means that this temporary spike does little to salvage his career.
