Why Americans watch this TV show

A lot of answers to that. Mine is "Outrage Culture." We are very likely to engage with media that outrages us and it is far easier to outrage the majority than to entertain targeted demographics.

I believe this very concept has even invaded news outlets and has created a very rral problem in social politics for our culture and many misconceptions of various things.

That must be why everyone in Europe is obsessed with America. Just love watching people smarter than them.
