    Insulting contestants gets people to watch the show,

    More people watching the show allows for a higher price for ad time during the show,

    Charging more for ad time increases network profits,

    Here's a rule of thumb to follow for all things of this nature,,,

    If you want to know why something is don't look at the ones who suffer from it but rather at the ones that profit from it.
