What a let down this has become. I don't know if deals are real or questionable as some have pointed out.
I do know however that it used to be most about the presentation and offers.
Now like almost everything on tv it has become what I call the " cancer" effect.
That's the label I use to describe how it has become mandatory for shows to outdo every other show by having the drama of the contestants ( sometimes host also) be the big story. They tell their personal sad stories to the folks watching who sit at home saying " so sad, inspiring etc etc.
Yuk. Not saying these are made up but to make it such a critical part of the show is becoming so overdone by everyone I'm finding less shows I can watch.
When will enough be enough? I'm reminded of a comedy sketch on SNL where there is a Japanese game show that if they get the wrong answer they have to have a finger cut off. Chris Farley plays a hilarious tourist from Green Bay who is called down from the audience to play. This sketch is old and there is a crime / horror movie of the same era that takes on this theme of glorifying violence for media.
Reality tv has become like these examples. It's become out of hand.
