Only the most coarse and unmannerly people would carry on in the way you describe. And I submit that life is closer to Milton Bradley's Checkered Game of Life than you're willing to admit. (That game from Victorian times morphed into what is now Chutes and Ladders.) Yes, it would be stupid of them to position the show the way the way they appear to be doing, as if to make it fit into the "Game Show Network" mold. But I suspect it would be little different from all of the other fly-on-the-wall voyeur shows that are out there.
