[US Tomato Can]

Great summary. But since you are the essence of of length and depth. I will summarize my take as the essence of brevity and conciseness.

Anything banking on a reality show for continued success will fail. Why? Because the reality show will invariably come to an end. This TUF was unique in perhaps the lack of drunken drama and all those wacky hijinks that follow it. In my opinon that is the root cause of falling ratings. Apparently that shit is entertaining to a lot of people.

And because even the most giddiest of kiddies realizes what an artifical setup is and their desire for it fades off..
