Big Brother and online Hunger games.

I fail to see why

People watch #Survivor or Big Brother and say they don't care about strategy and only care about the characters. Why watch a show that has evolved around strategy if you don't care about it? Go watch the big bang theory or something if you want characters ffs

EDIT: I also understand that characters do help make the show what it is, but I'm talking about people who only watch for characters and have a complete disregard for strategy

I think they do care about strategy, but they'd rather see a hilarious person play an underdog game than a really smart player stomp 10 useless players.

At least that's how it has been explained to me.

Generally but not always. If I remember correctly Jeff was very popular in his original season. @Thxfrthmmrs

And honestly I don't think it is so much the fact that they are women, but the fact that producers generally intentionally typecast sassy women, which tengagers like (because they're sassy and they're typically the underdogs because they have the strategic-social abilities of a squid).

For example a lot of people hated Kalia and Vanessa, two women, but because they were more reserved and intelligent than sassy and "ratchet".
