Yes...I don't care for the trials, therefore I don't care if they're completed. I see the trials only as a vehicle for entertainment, either through a celebrity's reaction to them (maybe like Kim or Lady C), or through the consequences they produce (i.e. the celebrity doing crap or refusing to do it meaning the camp goes hungry). And I much prefer the latter, all I'm interested in is them not getting any food, I don't care how it happens.
Helen refusing to do the trials was entertaining precisely because the whole camp got fed up with her and their hunger led to conflicts.

Also saying the trials are just similar themes repackaged well that goes for most RTV. How many times can you watch 12 people evict one another from a house? Or vote to eliminate singers from Simon Cowell's pocket. It's not really the point imo.

That's not the same at all. I'm talking about the production of a reality show, you're talking really about the contestants on reality shows. The trials are stale because they're the same concepts recycled, hell in the context of Big Brother a lot of the tasks have been repeated (I'm sick of the fish guts nonsense), but both BB and X Factor (and IAC) can still produce a perfectly good series if they get the cast right. Look at BB10, one of the worst produced series ever but the cast managed to carry it on their own. |
