Actually, I wanted to refute your argument with a data point. American Idol is the most DVR'd show in history. Even tho part of the "process" is to watch and TXT your vote (for a fee), it turns out many people are passively watching the show. They DVR it, watch it, and wait it out till next week. Essentially, this is the first evidence of internet lurking crossing over to Reality TV contests. But otherwise, you're completely right. TV is watercooler talk.
