This is a question Schadenfreude

There's nothing like administering first aid to cyclist who has just spanged into the back of a milk float when you have tears of laughter running down your face. The world is just one long episode of You've Been Framed - when have you laughed at the misfortune of others?

Reality TV is based entirely upon the concept of shadenfreude, and thus anyone who watches it is engaging in such.
The end.

No it isn't.
There's really no need to be this stupid.

Yes it is.
CF Celebrity gossip. It's entirely based on hoping to see someone fall in an entertaining way - be it have a temper tantrum (the majority of them), do a pratfall, or embarass themselves.

Whatever the premise is, that is the expected and played outcome.

Big Brother, Gonk Wank, Here Comes The Bride, gameshows - all of it.

There's really no need to be so agressive.

I agree
and it's shit. But it kinda goes without saying, and doesn't invalidate the QOTW :D
