If they’ve been swallowing this garbage for four years straight, then by that logic, this "audience" could probably digest even bigger piles of crap. So, why not?

And they definitely swallow even worse stuff... I'd rather swap out my wife than deal with that level of stupidity.🙂

The biggest headache is that if you don't follow all those trashy reality shows—Joe Biden included, for instance—you’re basically left out of the conversation. You have nothing to talk about with people. Most folks don't even get why these shows are even titled the way they are. And don't even get me started on the message this sends to teenagers: just sign up, strip down, maybe hook up with someone, and boom—you're rich. Who needs books, going for walks, or grabbing coffee with friends? 👎
(I'm saying this because I've got a teenager at home, so I see it firsthand..)

I’ve tuned in a few times—last year’s season, and then again this week during that Friday night slot—and it just numbs my brain. You sit there, slumped into the sofa, staring at the screen, and by the time it wraps up, it feels like coming out of a trance. I can’t even remember half of what happened, my IQ feels like it dropped fifty points, and I’m left sitting there thinking, "Why on earth did I watch that again?"
The people on the show are just regular folks, you know? They're just trying to win a million bucks however they can. But all the fluff surrounding it drives me crazy... the commercials, the endless stream of ads. And that Friday night broadcast? It’s indescribable. Just endless, cringey host banter and the same repetitive questions being asked to family members. Honestly, there are some people on that panel I'd love to take a sharpened pencil to. Add in even more commercial breaks, and that Friday show is just unwatchable.

This hits the nail on the head. I couldn't have said it better myself.🙏
Honestly... I’m just fascinated by this obsession with sex. It feels like there's never enough of it on TV shows or in every other program, so we just have to sit around obsessively waiting for it. People, seriously—go have sex and stop watching TV!😬
