Actually it's reality shows that suck since they don't depict reality but most often are based on humiliation. Starting back in the 1950s with Queen for a Day the premise was to make the viewers feel superior to the bedraggled women with the best sob story all for some measly appliance. Today there are many twists and turns on reality shows but the bottom line remains the same,public humiliation. In case that final puzzle piece hasn't clicked into place for some of you my point is that's how we have collectively become a holier than thou uncaring lot from seeing on the tube that it's perfectly okay to treat people like trash as long as the ratings are good. I swore off reality TV when a certain host became a certain politician and haven't looked back,in fact I highly recommend it.
