Yeah people might have tuned out, but not many did. My great aunt for example vowed she'd never watch again after like week 3, and still tuned in each week after saying Gemma ruined it.
Besides, you're forgetting Gemma isn't just a TOWIE star. She's made a name for herself in other ways - and the amount of people tuning out now will be much higher than the amount tuning out because of her appearance.
It may appear to be not as high, but factor in those who are tuning back in as they did stop watching as well.
DOI didn't have great ratings last year anyway, and were much better this year. Katie and Nikki as you mentioned had their respective controversies during the peak of the shows. DOI had its peak before it was axed.
