Haven't noticed many crap reality shows in Austria, but here in Serbia local television stations went overboard with that crap. It is brain tumor inducing, like people are competing who will be the most ignorant. On average, regular participants of those shows have very, very poor education. Many of them don't have basic abilities, something modern society requires. But they are safe in Serbia, because they don't need that to survive in here. Most popular TV show is property of a known criminal who is so illiterate that he has to sign with X, because he can't read or write. Should I mention that dude is millionaire and major businessman?
These are scoundrel days.
