Bullying as a spectator sport
This starts of how you imagine, and it was quite entertaining.
But then some contestants realise that rather than Outlasting the other teams you can just attack them.
Two female contestants raided another survivors camp and started stealing and destroying his things.
He asked them to leave, they refused.
They told him to quit or they would destroy his camp the second he leaves.
He complained this was against the rules but she pointed out there were no rules and no one disagreed with her.
The male contestant didn't want to be violent (especially to a woman) so could do nothing.
The women split up and destroyed his camp piggy-in-the-middle style.
This is just awful.
How the produces stood by and watch this unfold (assuming it is real) is just beyond me.
Is this really what they dreamed of creating?
We had to switch off around episode 5 as it was just nasty.
I am up for freedom of creative expression but this made me feel sick.
I worry for the people who enjoyed this.
Although there are lots of things I dislike on Netflix, nothing has ever made me consider cancelling my subscription as much as this..
