For what it is worth, I liked the show, it is pointed towards the MTV Real World crowd, which I liked years ago.
Usually when bad things happen, the end result is not good. The point that Dean was making (or at least the way I interpreted it) was that people want/expect spills and breakdowns in horse racing the way they expect/want crashes at Nascar events. Not only should expect that, but the sport should promote it. I agree with Andy, I would rather that those people not become fans of the sport. We do not need that type of fan base.
