The long and short of the whole thing is, people in general don't want to watch "educational" shows. "BOOOO-RING!"
If networks like Discovery, History, etc. did not latch on to these high-drama "reality" shows, then there would be no Discovery, History, etc..
Sure there are a few who will sit for hours and watch an animal forage for food while some nerd prattles on about its eating habits and classical music plays quietly in the background. Just not enough to support a network. They would go broke in a few short months.
Shows like this put people to work, plain and simple. From the loggers who would not have a job if not for the show, to the production team, to the technicians and people back at broadcast HQ. Hundreds of people, who would otherwise be collecting their "unending unemployment" from the government.
