“Splitsville,” new reality TV game show on divorce, cranks the schadenfreude to 11

war of the roses

CBS is adding divorce and crime to its reality development slate…. “Splitsville,” described as “The War of the Roses” meets “Let’s Make a Deal,” is a game show for divorcing couples who battle it out for their belongings in a series of competitive challenges.

Is it wrong to be excited about this show?

    I personally think it’s not a good idea for a show. I do wonder what these participants will think of themselves years down the road from now. Everyone want’s to be a celebrity no matter what the cost. I think this question can be divided in two. Wrong for who, viewers or participants? In an era where everyone lets it all hang out for others to see, nothing shocks anymore. I say let the exhibitionists have their stage and the voyeurs watch. There is no stooping the dumbing down.

    You know I wish it was my spouse I was fighting with. It’s the court that won’t approve our amicable agreement. Can I throw something at the judge? lol
