I watch those shows too - NYC & Detroit are my favorites. My husband asks why I watch them when they upset me so (I am known to yell at the TV like a man watching a football game
) . . . and I tell him that I like them because:
1) I like to see the animals get new homes and be happy.
2) I like to see the people get punished! (although the punishments are never as severe as what I would suggest!)
I'm glad Megs will have a shot at a good life. Like Cardiguy I am conflicted . . . happy for her, but angry and scared for the ones who will come after her.
