They could generate just as much drama by showing fighters families, by showing the little kids the mini-rampage dude [I forget his name...Gerald?] has to feed so viewers know how much is hinging on each fight for the fighters, and/or all of the other family backstory for the rest of the house.

Yeah. I agree that more drama would be caused without the beer since that would be another thing the guys couldn't do. Can't escape reality when you aren't shitfaced.

They could show more training in an attempt to [gasp] educate the viewers on healthy workouts and nutrition, and show fighters successes and failures in the gym. I'm probably a minority, but I'm going to be more attached to a mediocre fighter who is giving 110% in training to better himself than some guy who just coasts...or gets shitfaced and wrecks the house/pisses in someone elses bed/upper-deckers/etc. Even if the guy doesn't win the show, his work ethic should propel viewers to follow his career.
I agree 100% If that is part of the minority then I'll gladly be a part of it. Gotta spread my rep around before I can hand it out again..
