That is using statsitics to lie. First of all, I only watched the first
episode, and that was enough. I'm not counting stage hands here. There
was one man given any time in the show at all and only because he was
married to the person being actually interviewed. That is enough to not
waste time watching any other episodes and what you wrote is gross
misrepresentation.
Convienently you skipped episode one.
