Was a fan -- Now HATE this show!!
At the beginning of the season I couldn't wait for new episodes, but this thing has become HORRIBLE.
-- The producer that comes on and talks in that "reality show*" speak makes me want to put a fist through my TV. The way he tries to create drama when you can easily tell it's scripted -- poorly scripted -- is maddeningly annoying.
*Voice goes up - Voice goes down - Voice goes up - Voice goes down
-- The obviously fake voice overs from the control room where they try to ramp up the drama is also a beating.
-- The story lines have become so ridiculous that the only person who would think this is real is Mantai Te'o. If Chase didn't actually call this out as fake, then he is an idiot, and no longer becomes someone you could root for.
The genius of the first season was that they made it about the characters and toned down the shtick.
-- The terrible editing. I get that the filming didn't go as planned and maybe there wasn't enough quality footage to fill a full season. But at that point, you bite the bullet, cut the season down a few episodes and make sure you keep it good enough to keep your audience. At this point, when you're watching Episode 4 and clearly see who's gone by Episode 7, what's the appeal?
