What could possibly explain my fascination for the train wreck that is "Toddlers and Tiaras"?

I am a lesbian with no children. I have no interest in the Miss America or Miss Universe Pageants, and typically detest all reality TV. For some reason I am completely drawn in by the absolute disaster of Toddlers and Tiaras. I am uptight the entire time I am watching it (I think the kids are spoiled and the Moms are absolutely nuts). There is so much disturbing pathology played out in every episode that I am loathe to admit my addiction to people who really know me.

What dynamics could explain the hook?
