That's amazing and pathetic. It seems the only one who cares about the honesty of the candidates is Mika. Everyone else on this show considers it totally irrelevant.

Joe doesn't seem to be listening to Mika at the beginning, and derails her comments by saying he thinks the focus on binders is lame. Over 17 minutes in and that other guy restates what Mika said, and finally Joe gets it. I'd be a little frustrated too.

I don't know how distracting being on a set with cameras and people talking in your earpiece is, but I'm going to assume that's part of what makes for conversations where people don't seem to be listening to each other.

Maybe...or it could just be that the positions tend to go to attractive people with good voices, and brains just aren't considered important. Given the state of television these days, my money is on the latter.
