All reality shows should have a visceral reaction for the viewer. You need to feel something. Stirring debate is a critical piece of the genre's makeup and success.But this tried-and-true strategy may not work anymore. As a genre itself, it's just much more familiar now. And, as with anything, its power to shock lessens over time.
The press and the population are becoming a bit inured to the kind of attention-grabbing gimmickry of reality shows. But people aren't completely numb to it, yet. YET.
