Yaas. Indeed, I've found that this is one of the better predictors of whether I'm likely to like a "contest" show. The relatively positive ones, that promote a sense of camaraderie among the contestants, I usually enjoy a lot. (My personal favorite being So You Think You Can Dance, where the competitors are literally putting themselves in each others' hands on a regular basis.) OTOH, the Survivor-type shows, where it's all about creatively stabbing each other in the back, and the producers do everything they can to create (often fake) drama, annoy the heck out of me.
