Extreme Cheapskates makes me feel yucky inside. I watched one where this dude teaches people how to cook gourmet on a budget but he didn't tell them until after that he'd foraged herbs from the side of the road, dumpster dived the local seafood joint for scraps of lobster tails and picked out half drunk bottles of wine from the bins at the beach and filtered them through his homemade goon bag.
I... I... I'm sorry, what. Why. Just why!
Ah ha. The foraging, well fine ok but the dreg collecting and then pouring them into what looked like a colostomy bag was an eye opener.
Rage bait is why. Show runners coach them to do or say bizarre controversial things.
Very much on brand for exploitative reality tv especially in the 2000s
Yeah, it’s geared for outrage.
