Published: Saturday 7th Jan 2017 by Rashad

Vivica A. Fox hit the promo trail hard this week in support of her ‘Magic Mike’-inspired reality show which launched on Lifetime this week.

Titled ‘Black Magic,’ the series sees Fox put her name and reputation on the line to audition and create an all-male urban exotic dance group with hopes of getting a Las Vegas residency.  Chronicling the mens’ voyage from the rehearsal hall to the stage, the show has already courted a bit of controversy thanks to some off-putting comments by Fox regarding its target audience (read more on that here).

As that subsides, if you’re curious to see how many people tuned in to catch the muscle bound hunks on January 4th at 10/9c, tuck in below:

Premiere Ratings:  765,000 Viewers

Slot:  #20

      What does Beyoncé have to do with this show??? I swear kids will find any excuse To bring her up!

      • Meme January 7, 2017

        No it makes a lot of sense why he brought up Beyoncé no her lukewarm ratings on HBO. TGJ find it fitting to shade everyone else except Beyoncé. I can’t tell you the amount of times this year they’ve manage to “streams” in their unrelated post to shade Rihanna. So yes, ms fox beat out a major superstar ratings so!…..

    • Quiet January 7, 2017

      Do you crabs have to put Beyonce’s name into everything? Relax, relate and release all that hate.

    • LISA LEVINE January 7, 2017

      Steven Beck is a homosexual. Why would the HOST hate on the gay community when her strippers are Homosexual.

      • #TeamTinashe Stan January 7, 2017

        The lies you tell. Just because you happen to be gay and you want him to be in your category doesn’t mean it is right to spread lies for your own sexual gain.

        He has never said that and he has two little girls and a women in his life right now.

        Steven Beck is gay. I now see how so many women are fooled by closeted men lol

    • mr.m January 7, 2017

      LMAOOOOO!!!!
      YAAAAS GO VIVICA!!!

    • Jasmine January 7, 2017

      You can’t compare a brand new reality show to a repeat of Beyonce’s Lemonade visual. First, I did not even know HBO was playing Beyonce’s visual again. Second, even if they did it is a repeat, meaning most people that would have seen it already did either online, with the album, or when it first aired a year ago. Try again.

      • therealist January 9, 2017

        lies, beyonce had 787,000, and not everybody had hbo, so she did not have more viewers.

    • Tay January 8, 2017

      You can’t compare a show on HBO to one thats airing in FOX. FOX is available for anyone in the US(If I’m correct)

    • therealist January 9, 2017

      Lies, Bey views were 787,000. Just google it for the receipt, You do get an E for effort tho. smh!!! at least tell the truth.

    • therealist January 9, 2017

      lies, beyonce had 787,000, and not everybody had hbo, so she did not have more viewers. You do get an E for effort tho. Google it for the receipt. They say you have to do your own research because its nothing for a jackass to embellish the truth and lie!!! smh. Have several seats!!! lmao.

  2. Weezy Tha Goat/Zayn is ? January 7, 2017

    Stop being petty Rashad. Gays always wants to be the victim.

    • udntneed2kno January 7, 2017

      Weezy please sit down and stfu! Speak on things you know about before you open that d*ck trap on your face! Ain’t nobody playing the victim here except for that dead squirrel you wear as a wig??

  3. Chileplease January 7, 2017

    Nobody has to watch half naked men on tv anymore. We have the internet. We can see all the d*** we want

  4. cory January 7, 2017

    Wow. Where was the article about Vivica’s show getting better ratings than Beyonce’s HBO “Lemonade” special? Let’s not forget HBO free for Beyonce and still did less than Vivica. If you’re going to shade Vivica you should have done the same to Beyonce.

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 January 7, 2017

      The girls are desperate per usual. Let them be pressed. “lLifetime” is a basic cable channel which everyone can catch. Not everyone has premium channels but, The haters ALREADY KNEW THAT!

      • cory January 7, 2017

        Sure, it’s basic cable. HBO was still free for Beyonce and it still performed worse than Vivica. Sad. “Lemonade” didn’t even crack the Top 40 of ratings. At least Vivica made the Top 20.

  5. Quiet January 7, 2017

    You are all being crabs in a barrel per usual. You take any chance to discredit Beyonce but will scream Black Lives Matter in the same breath. I’m sure I’ll see you folks in the Anti World Tour gross post. Or maybe not.

  6. Meme January 7, 2017

    I just went back and watched the entire show and have to say in am extremely disappointed in TGJ. This show was so great. Viv game up with something a little different and i have to give it to her. Instead of writing such negative title why couldn’t we title this post “black magic premieres with promising future” “exciting premiere for Viv Fox black magic”? This site is so negative. And I know I’m not always the most positioned (towards Beyoncé) but I can’t keep filling my head with this negativity daily. I’m going to take a break from visiting this site.

    • IStan4Rihanna. January 7, 2017

      I absolutely agree Babe. This site can be incredibly exhausting – they’re unbelievably biased and extremely ‘petty’ particularly towards certain artists/acts/”models”.

  7. JanStan January 7, 2017

    I watched this cause it was after little women Atlanta and it was NOT good. The guys are good looking but not Vegas strip worthy and have no personalitys. and it might be the housewives effect but I wanted them to be shady af which they weren’t. No reason to keep watching imo.
