Same for the Survivor type shows; they would drop any real wilderness
survival expert like a hot rutabaga[1]. Those shows have very little to do
with what they overtly claim to be about. Their actual subject matter is
constant; office politics, in-fighting, drama, and preferably at least
some implied sex.

 who've never figured out why people engage in the first three, and
 prefer the last one in person rather than second hand

[1] Imagine the lack of Drama and Anguish when a couple of us kill and
butcher a sheep, Adamantius cook parts of it while others set up the
smoke-house to keep the rest of the sheep from going bad. Bad televison,
poor ratings (not even Olwen making obscene^Wsofisticated marzipan
figures from scratch would save it).
