Could all these kidnapping plots be due to the low budget? A way to generate some kind of fan reaction without having to involve any other sets or characters to tell a cohesive story? All you need is a room that a character can be locked in for a couple weeks. Theres really not much else required right?

Budget is a definite factor and desperately needs to be addressed. Day after day of characters roaming around the same restaurants is depressing.

I think I'll watch on the days when Patty isn't on.
It's to crinch worthy. And enough viewers 
complain maybe they will end it sooner than later.
