and self-removal from the financial aspects of the program. I get that a lot of you don't like the critics of the program but at the very least you should be concerned that people are distancing themselves from it - financially, emotionally, etc. the program can't long survive without a passionate fanbase. If we're going to purge / encourage the fan base to get off the bus, don't be shocked that fewer and fewer people show up or the viewership drops. I think any reasonable person will tell you apathy toward the program is one of the harder things to reverse.
