My Kitchen Rules (shudder). Why do people fall for this stuff? It’s so terribly contrived
User ID not verified.
TheFacts – MKR may be contrived (as is the nature of reality shows – they can’t run in ‘real time’, you realise?), but it’s entertaining, and for many people, that’s the bottom line.
(BTW, the tone and content of your criticism, including your ‘shudder’, contains precisely nothing original. You guys need a new shtick).
