Took me a full burnout to figure this out so you don't have to.
I have very specific requirements when it comes to reality competition shows. Number one: No fighting, no bickering—if someone says, "I'm not here to make friends," I’m out.

My living room looked like a tornado hit a laundry basket. Throw blankets on the couch, random toys on the floor, plants sitting in ugly plastic pots.
