I do enjoy the fact that we don't have a king or queen we have a person with a very unusual temp job for a few years. My favorite moments on the show were always showing the intersection of the person and the job.

Humans know when it's not a good story. Unless you do this for a living, you may not know exactly why you don't like a story, but you can't fool an audience ever. They know when you have it and they know when you don't.
