Some years ago I would watch Springer some, until I realised how low it was as a programme.
It intentionally put people into confrontational situations, to do their disgusting washing in a public arena.
The very titles of each part of the programme were designed to draw those with a strange facination in how some people can be in such a low place so as to make many feel they are better than that, I assume.
Then along came Kyle, same horrible stuff.
All this purports to do these participants a good thing by airing their issues, or increasing their awareness by the confessions of those that are / were close.
The fact that there are bouncers in the wings demonstrates the expected response of many participants, it adds to the entertainment for some. The design is obvious.
For years I've held the view that Springer and Kyle, and possibly more of their production management, should be prosecuted for inciting violence.
If any of us walked into a pub, for example, and started using these 'facts' to inform somebody of what others had done against them we would be held to account, wouldn't we?
