This seems like a smart move to me. Cheap to produce and with a potential for big payout, throwing a bunch of reality TV spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks is probably a good idea for Netflix.
Plus, if any of them are as good as Terrace House, this seems destined to succeed. If you share my guilty pleasure of trash reality television, Netflix's Terrace House is best in class right now.
My only concern is how reality TV mixes with the binge watching phenomenon. Programs like Bachelor and Survivor succeed in part because they're a weekly event, and not a big block of drama.
