First off, I just want to mention how much I disliked how Kate and Jon decided to split up... Now what are those 8 kids going to do... geez. Oh well.
Miss Rosalyn mentioned that in the interview that supposedly people enjoy RTV because it's easy to relate to. Well, that is true. Even though Kate is mother of eight, she is still indeed a mother of a family. The eight kids is just to add more spark to keep it's viewers. However, we are able to relate to Kate and we know that Kate has it a little bit tougher than us due to the massive number of children. We are curious as to see how she deals with the situation. We as humans naturally enjoy people watching. How is she going to react? What is going to happen next? This curiosity fuels our attention span.
Now, with shows like Girls Next Door and Jersey Shore, this is where we look to when we want to look down on things. We see these ridiculous shows and we look down on them and laugh. It may be having that sense of dominance or being better than something or someone else. Sometimes, we can get bogged down in the wrong truth and even envy these characters. We may start to think thoughts such as, 'I want to look like that', or 'I wish I had that kind of life.' All this just comes from our natural human nature.
Lastly, my FAVORITE, shows like AXE MEN and SWAMP PEOPLE. For me personally, (this will probably be the same for other men also) I enjoy these shows because they spark our rugged side. We [men] were born not to live the comfortable life but to live for GREATNESS. In these shows, we see or brothers, the strength, endurance, grace and skill. It makes our calling to something greater light on fire again. I personally always want to achieve something greater; I think this is true for all people, even the girls also. We all seek that perfection and these shows for us men give us hope.

"Axe Men" is a great program btw, it really is a MAN's show. You make great points about "Jon and Kate...," most of us just wanna see how she survives throughout the day with 8 kids.
I agree with what you are saying. It is always interesting to see what people are going to do next on the show and seeing how they cope with each new situation. And it is true, that each of the show does eliicit a certain response to each person, thats why we watch them.
