I feel a lot the same. You see me in the other reality threads. I am a lot more invested in them as far as entertainment goes.

Yep.

My favorite reality show is The Amazing Race. That show is dependent on how the teams do on their own. No producer driven drama. No personalities involved. If a team can't do a task and gets eliminated, it is all on them. Some teams do form alliances but in the end if the team can't do the task, that is it. They have to play their own game.

Pretty much it is earlier seasons of shows that are my favorites because personalities and alliances were not the dominant theme of the seasons (Survivor and Big Brother). And the ganging up on other contestants was not as bad as it has been in recent seasons. I even feel that TPTB on TB are driving the storylines even more so than they used to.

Bring on the snark

New preview: Hurricane Krystal

It would be lovely if she would just pack up and leave.  JMHO.

How do you think they got Krystal to crack like she did? What buttons could they have pushed with her?

Maybe a little more alcohol than usual?  Just a thought.....

I like to watch for others beside Arie. I like to see how Sienna and Tia handle themselves

The crack was inevitable. She had the early date to meet the parents and I suspect it was producer driven, to give her false hope and security. She is so obviously insecure (out of the limo, shades of Britt on Chris S's season, Olivia, Vienna etc). The producers need a villain to crack, fall apart, be divisive and have the rest of the women on the show talking and outraged. They are geniuses at casting such a person every season. There has to be "entertainment" at the expense of a real live human to keep the viewers talking. It's really sad but it works every time. JMO
