so i guess im saying, blame the viewer, because the producers just cook up a lot of shit & its the viewer that keeps bad shows going.

Much of the newest reality tv crap is definitely pandering to the lowest common denominator of society, no question about it.
It's actually not much different in a way than Jerry Springer and all the ridiculous lowlife-level shit that show has foisted on the world over the years. And since people with that mentality number in the millions it consistently year after year gets eaten up with a spoon.
I still say Kim Kardashian is a celebutante wannabe. Had her dad not been the lawyer in one of the most infamous trials in the US a couple of decades ago she'd now be just another spoiled rich bitch face in the crowd.
