My 'beef' with kitchen shows.

For some reason, TV has gone crazy-stupid over cooking shows. They’re all like “Kitchen Hell, Kitchen Nightmare, WORST COOKS IN AMERICA! Bring me elimination based reality TV! And some really big knives!” This is a bad idea. And here’s why:

1. People aren’t emotionally secure enough to be told how bad they suck at things and have a normal existence afterward. Hasn’t anyone watched Tyra Banks’s self obesessed ANTM? They are all “I love you Tyra!” until they are eliminated and then they need psychiatric care.
2. There are too many elimination-based shows flooding the viewing market. “Who is going home this week?” Who even cares? Eventually, all but one goes home. Wait a while and watch the last ten minutes of the last show. And there you have it.
3. People need to stop enjoying watching people hurt themselves with knives. It’s unhealthy.
