I'd blame that more on COPS and The Real World.
..........................

COPS had been on for over a decade, and the The Real World had been around for eight or so years before Survivor came about. It was when Survivor came out and got super popular that a ton of others followed upon seeing it's success and took over tv. Now they're on every single channel at sometime or another during the day. I was born in 1985 and I can tell you as can anyone else of a similar age, that television was not filled with these stupid reality shows. A handful existed, but they were the primary thing that was on tv. Until Survivor's success that is.

Blaming COPS and The Real World is senseless.
