With such "car crash TV" you never see the outcomes......there may be many participants damaged by the experience (of their strange(?) 15 minutes of fame). But sadly there is now one participant, who as far as it seems discernible, has taken his own life as a direct result of being in the spotlight on the show.
The real sadness in my eyes is that this program endured for so long, simply because we will never know how many others have been hurt by it!
On a side note ~ how is it that such vicarious living type programs appeal to people. The young woman I caught a bit of an interview with on the news was in the audience. She came across as a quite rational ordinary person......so just what was it about this program that attracted her to want to be in the audience???
Of the odd time when channel hopping I caught sight of it, it looked like a combination of bear baiting, cock fighting....even a Gladiatoreal fight. Why on earth was it made in the first place.
PS but frankly I am pleased it has been canned.
