It's all manufactured, most of the "winners" amount to basically nothing, and the real truth is that most of the contestants on this show are unknown for a reason. I watched from season 2 through towards the end of last season. It just got pointless and repetitive. I don't understand how people can keep watching the same stuff over and over again.

It's like saying it was one of the nicest Christmas trees on the lot on December 30th. There's just no point in comparing it to other things right now.

That seems to be the only real issue.

So basically we should be happy with ANYTHING Disney announces, because it will be better than an empty warehouse? Should we really aim that low? Really. Disney released a press release designed to get people excited. This isn't leaked info - this is a description straight from the company's mouth. And I am not excited. I watch the show. I get caught up in the hype every year. But. This. Sounds. Lame.

Drama shows may have a few precious new episodes left that the networks are carefully doling out. But that's coming to an end. When is the last time you saw a new "CSI:Wherever"? Reality shows are exempt from the writers strike. That's why we're getting new "Survivor." And that's why we're getting an explosion of such compelling reality shows such as the one based on people getting parking tickets.
