Hi,
Personally, I think that C4 is getting a bit desperate for new "reality TV" shows, and are now resorting to decidedly rubbish measures.
With all due respect to those of you who ike this kind of show ("The Carrot And The Stick"), I would have thought it be obvious, that any team of people who is praised and treated half-decently, should do well. The team of humans, that are treated like dirt, or ordered about like the Stick team has, should - in theory - become despondant and fail most of the tasks.
I know there's always exceptions to that set of circumstances, but how does watching people being berated, put down, and generally mistreated, get classified as some of kind of intelligent, psychological experiment?!
In my mind, this, and all the other reality shows, need to be binned - permanently! They're no longer worth our time, our TV licence fee / Sky subscription fee, and we viewers deserve better programmes than this!
