This is NOT reality TV.
Season one was unique. Season two is also unique, but for different and more terrible reasons.
I've never in my life seen a reality TV show where the producers had their hands so heavily on the scales of the "competition".
Every conflict was created and engineered by them. Every "twist" carefully choreographed to get the result the producers want. The producers even tell the contestants who they should vote for and why in some instances. They also carefully engineer the exits of some players.
Season 2 is the quintessential example of scripted reality TV.
If you enjoyed Season One because you found the show was unique and interesting then Season Two will probably drive you crazy IF you realize how everything is designed and scripted by the shows producers.
