We have a generation of egotistical kids whose parents don't want them to have "self esteem" issues - even if it means totally humiliating them in public.

This is NUTS!

The parents pare probably peeved that EVERYONE DOESN'T WIN!

Exactly right! This is what happens when no one is allowed to keep score and everybody gets a trophy....

I agree with you. I have just been stunned at the number of people with absolutely no self-awareness. They have no talent, but they have the "attitude" of a superstar.

To me, the shows illustrate the collision of America's "everybody should feel good about themselves and believe they are great at everything, whether that is true or not" culture with reality.
