Host Andy Cohen explores how provocative television can both shock and appall audiences through programs such as Bad Girls Club, Mama June: From Not to Hot, and Fear Factor. He also highlights how these shows can educate viewers, like Botched does, and uplift previously marginalized communities, as seen in I am Jazz and RuPaul's Drag Race.
