Thank you all. I have enjoyed this thread immensely. But what do we really expect from "reality" contestants in 2013 and onwards?
Most are handpicked from the periphery of subsets of "connected" people. Some. Well they are "special". Actual terms used in the casting process.
A deliberate jig-saw we all enjoy. As long as we know it's a jigsaw for our entertainment.
Designed and manufactured for our entertainment.
And we know its edited. Like the social media lives of the contestants are edited. And designed. Without context.
Its dangerous to make character assessments from edited material isnt it?
