The bad thing is, people just hate on everything.
Not even just with TAR, not even just with reality TV.
And most producers just put it down to "people are afraid of change", which is correct in some cases, but oftentimes it's actually not that.
With this season, I guess the best way to put it is that I am afraid. I don't want the race to die, and I fear losing a lot of regulars, so even though I actually don't mind the idea that much (I think it will be entertaining), I just KNOW that it will not be well received.
