That goes for everything these days.
If you notice talking shows on ESPN these days, a lot of them are just about who can talk louder than the other. I'm not a fan of it, but Disney is smart, and must figure this is what is needed to have viewership these days.
With the Social Media game having nobodies turn into somebodies by having personalities (and knowledge), you can't have boring, purely analytical types on TV if you want to build an audience.
