8. Isn't that true

of most all so-called "reality" television? I suppose that the American Idol type shows don't feature humiliation as a centerpiece of their business model, but most of them have a "Simon" on the ever-present panel to provide a bit of stinging criticism for entertainment value.

I remember when cooking shows were about people teaching viewers how to make delicious food, rather than being about Gordon Ramsey and his clones shrieking at befuddled would-be chefs.
