Like i said i look at the "being nasty" as a psychological study (though sometimes it goes too far for me too) and the "betrayals" as just part of the social strategy game which actually has fascinating game theory because of the jury
Totally fair, I can see the appeal there. Studying people in weird or unusual situations can reveal a lot of fascinating things. Just what the actors/subjects feel they need to play up for the camera probably holds up a mirror that reveals a lot about society.
Kind of makes me think of telenovelas and long-running dramas like Days of our Lives that people love/loved to follow for the drama of the characters day to day lives.
It is a similar appeal to soaps in a way. My other major special interest is Pro Wrestling which is often called a "soap opera for men" lol
I really enjoy all the storytelling, athleticism, and drama that goes in to pro wrestling. It's a really cool intersection of sport and theater.
