I prefer Wrestling or watching Pantomime.
 
At least either of those forms of entertainment don't bother with pretending the underlying theme is a talent contest.
 
The only winners with these types of shows are the owners of the production companies.
 
The ratings still show that many are prepared to soak it up though.

I prefer to leave the TV off and watch my reflection on the screen.

Oh no.


Another reality show vying to take people away from my battle with Mooch.

Well I'm blissfully unaware of any of this. Yesterday's tabloids in the US is next months front pages over here.

so I'm off to find out what Google has to say about it so I can brag to my friends that I know something they don't. And not only that, I get to waste some time
 
 
EDIT TO ADD A LITTLE LATER: I am WAY late on this one! Ha ha! Well, that was amusing. Staged or not; This is reality TV entertainment for ya! Perhaps I'd watch this season - when it's on here in a year or two;) sure beats the kindergarden "everyone deserves to win" twist we have to talent contests over here!

Ugh...  Self-esteem camp mentality is really killing competitiveness in young kids!  Talk about NOT preparing youth for the real world.  No wonder we have so many people that expect things to be given to them without having to work and earn them!

Ever saw Christopher Titus' stand up called Neverlution? Funny as heck, and there's a whole part about kids getting trophies for participating - and the inevitable consequences.  

If you ever have 1h45 to waste and enjoy this type of humor...
