MUST LISTEN
I was absolutely gripped by this from the very start. All programmes I’ve watched and loved that I now see in a completely different light.

Unreality tv uncovered
Never liked reality tv and this podcast tells why: manipulation of vulnerable participants chosen precisely because their vulnerability makes good viewing. All that is wrong with the current media landscape is brought together in this podcast. If you need a reason to stop watching reality tv, then look no further

Interesting but
This is very interesting and while there are no massive surprises it does make one question ones own role as a viewer in perpetuating behaviours and also the amount of blame on social media. As with the producers he is exposing though, Peretti has his own agenda and has obviously chosen his interviewees and edited their stories to emphasise that they are victims. Of course the production teams have a duty of care that should be properly carried out and‘participants’ should be paid for some of the huge profits they draw in but they also need to take some personal responsibility if they have not researched what previous shows were like or read the contracts they are signing.

A Massive Eye Opener
I’ve never really been one to watch reality TV as I saw it as quite toxic without knowing all of this stuff that went on behind the scenes which makes it so much worse!
A very good insight which will hopefully shed more light on the issues that need addressing before any other people suffer like so many other contestants have.

everyone should listen
everyone, yes EVERYONE, should listen to this podcast. There is something VERY wrong with the TV we are consuming, and reality TV is the very worst of it. of all TV formats reality TV is most deserving of being banned.
this is a fantastic podcast.

Interesting insight into reality TV
I think this is what we all already knew but somehow laid bare in this way makes for interesting listening. Great podcast.

Fascinating...
Fascinating, slightly terrifying. I'm not a huge fan of reality TV, and even less so now!!

Brilliant, shocking and compelling.
A must listen. A really reality check.
I will think on this for a long time to come.
