In the still-short history of reality TV, there haven't been 14 reality series about politics. Or sports. Or even fashion.
But there have been 14 reality shows about cake.
It's officially the most oversaturated genre in reality television.
Besides helping to strengthen the connection between television and America's obesity epidemic, what have these programs accomplished?
Not too much: they've minted a few reality celebrities and left the rest of the hopefuls in the (flour) dust. Ratings are far from consistently strong across the genre.
And yet producers haven't grown weary of sugar -- still more shows are on the way.
