Entertainment is derived in many forms. I enjoy watching UFC shows. Cruel show? No trained talented athletes doing what they're good at and have trained for. Big Brother is probably harder then walking into an octogan with medical staff and a referee to prevent too much damage.

In both cases, the people involved know what they are getting themselves into. They all know it's a ticket for fame and popularity and they take that risk and gamble because, well maybe they like the fame and popularity.
