Oh I don't care personally, but in this instance I care because as someone who wants to participate in discussions on r/television, any reality show suggestions or discussions are immediately shot down and thrown away.

At least with reality TV, there is a chance that the people on the shows are a probably as screwed up in real life as they appear to be on the screen.
