When I saw the commercial for this, I wasn't suprised anymore. It has gotten to the point where reality TV is struggling to find new ways to shock/interest people. I have never understood what is so interesting about watching other peoples lives when people should be working on thier own. It seems to me that people use television programs such as "The Swan" to make them feel good about themselves. That is why I think some people buy supermarket magazines (The Star, National Enquirer, etc.) too. It's sad that people need these type of products in order to feel good, I think. I guess it goes back to the old saying, "To each thier own."
