Not even as a guilty pleasure. It is so boring - even the scripted appeal to the lowest common denominator doesn’t give that stuff even a trainwreck quality that makes it worth watching.

I recently finally watched 15 mins or so of one of those Kardashian things just to see what that damn stuff even is. And I didn’t get it. It was a bunch of uninteresting people sitting around talking about what sounded like the dullest drivel imaginable. Why would anyone watch that stuff? (Maybe it was 10 mins. It was unbearable).
