In search of the truth

Isn't it sad that what seems to be the Nadir of light entertainment on television is people (generally women) having a go at each other. From my beloved Downton to TOWIE to The Kardashians to The Real Houswives of Every Major American City. All I can see is people being bitchy - sticking the knife into each other's backs, which makes very unpleasant viewing. What is it about us, that we find this awfulness entertaining? The film that sums this up perfectly is of course, Mean Girls. Is it a fundamental difference between men and women, because to me men seem to be less inclined to behave like this. Over the next four weeks, I have a diary full of very social events where I will be watching this phenomenon to see if it's only on TV or really true in my real life. I think you and I already know the answer to that question, but I'm going to keep a very open mind (in search of the truth).
