      Fucking crazy that they took peoples meds from them. Its like they were trying to get people killed for clicks. Honestly also crazy that people didnt just walk out right away but i guess money makes people do weird stuff.

        They literally let someone who had a seizure just lay there for an hour before getting them medical attention. Fucking criminal.

        That’s the thing, I totally get why people say he’s a sociopath cause even though he’s fucking rich, he can’t even pay for an hotel room for the participants. I have a feeling their belongings were taken so they would not have to deal with people stealing each other’s stuff, which would have been wayyy less likely if people got their own room. I highly doubt it’s that much cheaper to rent a fucking stadium, buying 2000 sleeping bags, paying for portable toilets, etc. than to rent a whole cheap hotel or motel.

        He really wanted those participants to be desperate for that money. “At least if I get to the end, all that crap before will be worth it”. It’s disgusting… He’s not considering those people as humans but as cattle.

          Putting everybody in a hotel room doesn’t let you display them all simultaneously like a herd of animals.

            Oh totally not, but that’s my point. If you are going to exploit those people, at least treat them with dignity before they go in front of the camera. Even Jerry Springer had at least the decency to pay for the flight, the hotel, the limo… before treating his guests like monkeys for his show. Not that it would excuse it, but it would appear a tad more humane.
