Who's watching Big Brother?

I'm not a fan of reality shows but avidly watched the first 3 series of BB. Now, I'll watch an episode if my wife puts it on. I guess I watch reluctantly. it's the social experiment v TV show which in my opinion, is dangerous to the contestants psychi and a lot of those watching.
The lack of trust contestants have with each other and eventually with BB is what make it so popular.
These days, the games are more understood, but one needs to understand these to enter. However, with such a young participant group, where do the experience come from?

Amazing

I abhor reality tv and this was an amazing expose, well researched and balanced. I cannot believe that humans enjoy ‘entertainment ‘ that means the participants need so much psychological help, I urge all fans of Love Island etc to listen to this

Missing a lot of info

This is for the whole series, not just this episode.

Often condescending in tone, it can be quite slow.

Does not properly explore other potential contributors to the discussed issue , although they are mentioned and so it feels like a witch hunt rather than a thorough think piece.

It also doesn’t make any comparison to rates of suicide or mental health in general population. I feel this is so important for the veracity of the story, and without it, for me, rather demeans the whole thing.

It is trying to convey such an important subject but misses for these reasons.
