"As the show progressed someone got the bright idea that bad women acting badly would be what everyone would tune in for so that's what they spent their "hundreds of hours" trying to get."

26mitogo - I couldn't agree more, the proof is in the pudding.
And I agree with others comments too about how they just didn't care about their audience... so why did they think that was a successful approach. And also, what will the outlet of these productions be after they successfully kill television?

I strongly believe there was an audience out there for self-help for real women, with real concerns. They could've upped the anti a bit in the other direction - like having someone who's a competent person and truly wants to run a successful business, or someone who is doing all the right things by their family but wants it to be better... not so much attempted rescuing of people who's motivations of being helped are highly suspicious. They should've gone for it instead of having a show every editor and his cousin is using to get experience.

The comments in these posts are proof that an intelligent audience exists. A big concern of networks is to find an audience. I think SO had a vested audience right in the palm of their hands and they blew it. Dummies.
