26. Your question puts finger on problem--
the nutbag is simply more of what everyone does a little on any particular day, and not just on the show, either.

The editing choices prove that the producers consider his rantings and abuse as legitimate entertainment (I wondered about that word but decided to use it anyway). If you don't, I would turn the channel.

BUT BUT BUT

Since the show's other premise is that screaming is okay as long as you manage to pull together at some point and make nice, the fact the rantings are not edited out tells me that there is going to be either repentance or comeuppance and you are expected to tune in, and enjoy that too. That's the way TV works.
