I think you have to take these heavily-edited programmes with a pinch of salt.
They're not going to show much of the day to day humdrum stuff where he's just going about his business and taking care of his family.
These 'reality' shows need entertainment, all squeezed into 30 mins, and with the use of a lot of provocation and leading questions.
You're hardly likely to find a man who is 'the average Joe' leading that kind of life, but he's apparently built a house, reared what looks like a lovely family, and been doing it for 11 years already...so he must have some kind of head on his shoulders.
As for the preoccupation with the 'horror' of killing a damned chicken for lunch (and later, a pig), PLEASE, give me a break. That's just called the REAL WORLD.
