It's a big fat excuse to not pay any writers and just give actors chintzy prizes provided by the fucking sponsor anyway. It's the stalest least interesting genre on television, literally it's been creatively dead since Real World 2... ten years ago... but for some reason, the hipster army still enjoys it all ironically and keeps the genre alive.
I just want to get on the television and tell the world: "You know, sometimes stuff isn't so bad it's good. Usually bad is just bad."
And the problem is? The budgetary requirements are so fucking low that even if the ratings sag FAR below fiction television, they're still more profitable than a relatively successful sitcom.
Something's gotta turn around.
