Couldn’t care less. After the first season, how stupid must the people on this show be to not figure out what’s going on, the moment a stranger and a camera crew show up? Are these people living under rocks? And the moment a show’s concept gets stale, the first thing they do is bring in so-called “celebrities.”
To be honest, I’m sick to death of reality shows. I wish all of them would be cancelled. How many amazing races, survivors, and all the rest can one person take. After the first 1 or 2 seasons, you’ve seen it all.
I will watch Darius Rucker episode. I’m not at all interested in cooking chefs, or anything related to kitchen.
