As most have already said, these shows are mainly entertainment. These shows have to catch a wide audience not just pure car fanatics. You have to cater to all people not just the guys who actually like to see the build process. Like any reality show you have to have characters and drama.
As annoying as most of these car shows are you can't take away from them that they build nice cars. Danny "the count" annoys me along with the "manager, horny mike" etc but he still builds nice cars most of the time. He marks up the cars accordingly and makes a decent amount and doesn't seem to be trying to get over on anyone like Richard from fast and Annoying.
