I think everyone is kidding themselves that Bitsie/Juliette has that many fans. I'm sure some fans like her (or don't hate her). But I just can't believe anyone is watching or not watching the show just for her. I've never seen any indication that she has this huge loyal fanbase
I think the episodes though have been kind of lackluster. This uprising plot is actually ideal though. It allows them to do a case of the week but one that ties them into a bigger narrative. And it has Nick learning something new, the way he did in the beginning when he was a Grimm - realizing there's something bigger than him.
The drop is ratings is pretty standard for any older show. People tune out on shows over time, no matter how hugely popular they are. Grimm never had a huge audience, and the scheduling, fallout from last season which was so focused on the Royals that it was really confusing for casual watchers, etc - lots of reasons why ratings would fall.
But the idea that Juliette inspires enough loyalty to shift ratings is silly.
