As others have said, it's totally trash TV (possibly exploitative, but I'm not convinced on that part). But it's also strangely addictive, and isn't that what makes good TV? It's definitely not Arthaus and I'm sure it has not aspirations to be. I don't agree that they are all simpletons - the other sisters and especially the brother seem alright to me, actually really nice and likeable, esp. The brother. So yeah, I will keep watching!
