cheaters

i read a survey where somebody indicated that watching cheaters is a guilty pleasure. feel no guilt - i think cheaters is (at least in concept) great, and if i suspected i was being cheated on, i might hire a couple camera guys, a body guard, and a journalism student for the confrontation.

Today, people get married later in life than ever. Since that is the case, the importance of the non-marital relationship has grown, at least with regards to the emotional investment people put into them. When a pouse cheats, there are divorce proceeding to (at least attempt) to equalize the situation. But in a dating relationship?

The problem is, if a sig other cheats on you, and you confront them, your just as likely to make a fool of yourself or get your ass kicked than anything else. think about it - if the other chooses the cheatee, the cheated is just a big sucker no matter how effectively he can malign him or her. plus, who can keep their composure well enough to be an effective talker in that circumstance?
enter cehaters.

cheaters send you to the scene with a camera crew, a couple body gaurds to make sure it doesn't get too out of hand, and an investigative journalist to pose the hard questions. and the cheater doesn't get off the hook simply by choosing the cheatee: his or her treachery is on camera for the world to see.

so - high brow types may consider it just another springer - but I actually like it.

now - of course the criticism is still there that cheaters exploits poor people. and i do detest that. i used to watch springer and note that it was all these desperate white trash people living the most humiliating moments of their lives in front of cheering upper middle class collge students. how much more gladitorial can it get?

but thats all that springer was, despite his final though. his value was only in his further erosion of high brow culture. cheaters - i just think its a good approach to dealing with a cheater.
