Reality shows are just another form of entertainment. It's like improv that feeds off of how people cope with ridiculously stupid sets of circumstances. I don't mind reality TV, I even find myself sitting through the occasional episode if I leave that channel on... and besides, how are they going too far exactly? You have to agree to the terms before you sign up. Occasionally there's some hidden money involved or something dumb but you'd probably see it if you read the fine print if you used logical deduction.
