>the point of this show? Clearly, the point of the show is to embarrass and humiliate Randi and her family. And I, for one, applaud that! There are way too many people in this country who take themselves WAY too seriously and need a dose of "reality" to lighten them up. In the meantime, we get to watch Steve's and his "family's" antics and laugh our @sses off!
Not to take this thread OT, but I can't help comparing and contrasting the Koys with another recent Fox reality family, the Ledings. While Albert and Janice came off a bit stiff at times, they generally rolled with the punches and enjoyed Paris' and Nicole's antics. Of course, they weren't being deceived the way the Koys are, but still...
BTW, I'm sure that Randi and her family will receive some kind of "compensation" in the end for putting up with all of this. I doubt very much that Fox stiffed them. After all, the network DID misrepresent the contest to her; they would definitely owe her something for the mammoth ratings she's helping them generate!
