Reading this is like watching an actual car wreck. So I can’t imagine the effect of watching the freaking show itself.
I do LOVE the exhibition of typical elitist prick behavior from the SF husband and wife, though. Can you imagine those two actually pulling the sticks out of their asses long enough to have sex? It buggers the imagination.
The apology is bullshit. The wife’s “explanation” is also bullshit. They are both desperate attempts to preserve current associations and the possibility for future ones. But the husband has been exposed as a snob and a verbally abusive bully. If he would subject a complete stranger to this sort of vitriol, can one imagine what his kids must rate? And that wife…apparently she asked her swap husband if he was going to hit her. Um, what?
Reality shows, with a very few exceptions, are evil and should be destroyed. I do watch American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, and Project Runway, but in each of those cases, people are competing based on their born-with TALENT and honestly-acquired SKILLS, not based on how big of a fucking douchebag they can be on national television.
Yes, the producers of these dropped-from-the-ass-of-a-horse shows are 3/4 to blame, for A) conceiving the better-stillborn concept in the first place, B) manufacturing drama between “contestants,” and C) editing the final product to maximize said drama, but the people with the voyeuristic streak who avidly watch them are also to blame. If they didn’t pull the ratings they wouldn’t be on the air, would they?
*Yes, I meant “buggers,” not “beggars.”
