​​​@@cangrejopendejo4909dude. Just stop. I get it. Patriotism. But it IS about the country. Every single reality show (of the game show/quiz/panel variety) I've watched from America has been absolutely unbearable artificial garbage with fake bimbo presenters with teeth and tits more expensive than my house. It's constant shouting, screaming, cheering, grating, agonising fake positivity. Its 9 times outta 10 scripted to the nines and full of COMPLETELY faked sentiments and emotions. I'm sorry. But that's just the truth. It's absolutely impossible to watch American versions of British TV game shows. They're absolutely butchered and entirely forceful. They take simple, charming concepts and turn them into insufferable LOUD, scripted garbage. But that's the problem. America just HAS to do everything bigger. Because they operate under that ridiculous delusion that BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER. "THROW MORE MONEY AT IT, GUARANTEED TO MAKE IT BETTER" Bigger prizes, bigger audiences, bigger reactions from contestants, host and crowd. Bigger production value, bigger titties. Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, BIGGER, BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER. THATS what America needs to learn. A game of Deal or no Deal is supposed to be tense, full of emotion, and quiet. It doesn't need "bigger" anything. The minimalist style of the show mixed with the opportunity to make some good money, and the tension created via these things, is what made that show a massive hit in Britain. I dunno if you've actually seen both versions of that show, but i have. And it serves as another perfect example of why what me and the guy that made this post is saying, is true. Every contestant HAS to be loud and "entertaining" (which always results in coming across like arrogance and as being utterly grating) and by entertaining, obviously i mean louder and bigger, and entirely scripted. Because in America, apparently nobody is confident that the concept of the show alone will be enough to keep viewers interested. Hence, the loud, arrogant, constantly wise-cracking, scripted host, and similar-in-nature contestants. Hence, the added stakes and rules nobody asked for the almost ALWAYS serve to cheapen the original concept of the game/show. I've tried watching many versions of Americas game/quiz shows and panel shows. Because that's what i love to watch. And i always look for MORE, which usually means looking outside of my own country, for more content. EVERY American show I've tried to sit and watch with my girl has been an absolutely painful experience that we only suffered through the entirety of because it usually starts entertaining us by providing us with something to laugh at for the WRONG reasons. It becomes something for us to verbally mock, which ends up being entertaining in its own right. That's the ONLY value to be had from this artificial, scripted, emotion-free, loud, convoluted DRIVEL that the USA calls "light entertainment". This is in no way a slight against the entirety of America. I have many American friends, some of them my better friends overall, actually. And I've been to America multiple times, had fun, other than the slight paranoia that at any moment we might "catch some lead", which, to be fair, is not OUR fault 😅. But yeah. I like America just fine. Just not their reality shows or game shows or anything of that nature. Its ALL the same. Show me something that isn't like that, please. Because, seriously. Id love to watch it. Always looking for more good television.
