What do you think of this? I'll admit it is intriguing. A couple of thoughts that came to mind as we watched it tonight:

Does anyone else think this looks humiliating for the participants? I guess they don't or they wouldn't be there. But to me it makes them look a little like idiots--playing a game that isn't even close to real, having this jerk that runs the thing pull their chains.....in the name of money.....it's not going to be the proudest moment in their lives, I would think. I also think the producers "stacked the deck". In other words, carefully picked certain individuals for various reasons to make this thing more dramatic.

And now a whole bunch of copycat shows....aye, we have way to much time and money on our hands if this is what we create as entertainment. :eek:

I think if they were smart they would have left the chickens alive and eaten the eggs instead of killing them and having to split one chicken 6 ways.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for day, teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

Something like that anyway.

I'd also like to see the girls face when she finds out the guy she keeps running off in the woodline with says there's no romance while she keeps saying how much there is and how great it is.

FWIW,
Abn

Hey, if the Romans had gladiating spectacles, I guess modern society needs something to distract its sons and daughters.
