>>11421531 Eugene was fantastic in small dozes and once fans got over the initial hump, it was like they were cheering their own retarded cousin competing and genuinely happy for him winning, but then it was actually living with a mentally disabled person and having to take care of them and that's something only really tough people can manage, not an audience paying to be entertained for a bit. Eugene in some ways became too real, too much work and too prominent. In a way a good allegory for real life but not good tv.
