One question... Why do people torture themselves watching a host they don't like??? Masochistic behavior just is unappealing to me.. If someone annoys me I avoid them.

Agreed....and add Sharon F's hair to that list, LOL!

I believe that most of the ladies have seen the change in Shawn since she became the star. Personally, I don't care for the change either.

I agree!
I have enough going on in my life that really matters, to intentionally submit my time/energy/focus/brain power to anyone/anything that annoys me.
There's 1,000 things to do instead, that won't stress me out, LOL!

@Trinity11, There's a phenomenon called "hate-watching." It's basically viewing a show, or a person, or even following someone on social media (even though we don't like the show or the people) "for the purpose of the enjoyment one derives from mocking or criticizing." It's become a "sport" encouraged by social media (including chat forums). Not that this is the reason for all those who continue to watch and then ridicule and disparage the same shows/hosts, but I really do think it explains some of this odd, recurring, dysfunctional cycle.

Yes, it certainly does.

Kind of like negativity is contagious... And yes, it's kind of like a new sport.

This thread is starting to get ugly with all the talk about hate.
