Crashing lives and crashing markets

I've been watching lots of The Property Brothers, or more accurately, The Property Bothers, because they are so unintelligible.  But it has made me realize something.  I enjoy watching people's lives fall to pieces on television.  Whether that be because of the property bothers or the flipping floppers or diners drive-ins and dudebros, everyone's lives on those shows eventually falls to pieces about three-quarters of the way through the show.  And it is glorious.  Remember the time when Guy McDudebro went to the one lady's pizza restuarant and said how everything was out of bounds and how the food would be better if she added some backwards sunglasses to the sauce.  But when the customers came in to try her signature dish, called Pizza Picatta, they all told her how terrible it is.  She then looked at Guy and he did one of those shrugs with his shoulders as if to say "To me, this place is out of bounds, you get that spicyness from the spice and the sweetness from the candy, I mean it's legit.  I'm just going to put my sunglasses on backwards again.  I just gotta check this out."   But it's passe to poke fun at Guy Figleaf these days because it's been done so much that you have to ask what's the point anymore?  He's responsible for quotes like "Out of Bounds" and "Glub glub glub this is good sauce" just like he's responsible for destroying the Food Network.  Thanks Guy Fedex and the Property Bothers for wrecking cable.
