Could someone please tell me why almost every reality TV show has an unknown with a British accent as host ?

Seriously, I just decided to check out Phenomenom and AGAIN there is some guy I have never seen before with a British accent as the host. Do network executives think the American public have more respect for someone with an accent? Do they think we will be more likely to watch? I feel the opposite. I am not a big fan of reality TV anyway but this approach really puts me off. Am I the only one who feels this way?
I personally find this practice insulting.

Yep I can tell you, because American Idol is the most highly rated Reality Show, so everyone is trying to find someone that’s just like Simon.

    You could probably blame Simon Cowell for that one.

    If we’d all stop watching these goofy shows, we could say
    ‘Cheerio’ to all of them.

    That’s an excellent question! I didn’t even realize that it’s true until I read this! lol, but it is, isn’t it? I haven’t seen Phenomenon yet, but have it recorded. Can’t wait to sit and laugh now!
