I wonder how many naked paedophiles were watching THIS lovely show last night on channel 4? They would have had a field day!

While the boys trashed the fuckin place, the girls bitched.
I saw shards of Lord of the Flies in both.

Boys Alone was utter carnage. You should have seen the expression on the parents' faces when they came to pick them up. Michael in particular was a little psychotic. He didn't say much, just wantonly destroyed other people's property.

They put a group of 10 and 11 year old girls into a house for a week and left them to their own devices.

They already did it before with boys, and there was no public outcry.

Hmmm, something seriously wrong with parents that let their kids participate in something like that...

made me sick too. Lord of the flies is a quality film but this takes the piss.
Reality TV is a Psychologists dream. Ethics are completly thrown out of the window to allow us to study human behaviour in controled circumstances.
great horror films are made of this.
(brrrr...) :$

i thought this was done more as a psychology experiment, rather than a reality tv show.

How could it work well as an exercise in real psychology since there were people in there with video-cameras, following them about. What's that saying about as soon as you look at something you're affecting it?

Basic premise of quantum activity isn't it? An event that changes through the very act of being monitored/recorded?

Yep, that's why if ever psychiatry students include me in a covert poll (ie do something then tell you after your reaction it was for a study) I will take their clipboard off them and destroy all the results on it.
My ex was at a turtle conservation project in Greece and a young married couple appeared. Throughout their time there they argued, flirted with other people and did very little conservation work. They left a comment in the guestbook just before they left (no one saw it till they had gone) that they were two final year sociology students doing a study of people's reactions to married couples. Frankly, I think that's a disgrace...

those people should be observed themselves in horrible way
eg. what would you do if a guy came and stole your clothes and the whole world laughed at you
or something real nice like that

Yeah both programs were interesting. I only saw the one with the boys and saw it again recently when it was repeated.
Its just basically sensationalism. The whole scenario kind of reminds of Lord of the Flies. The poor little bastards didn't know what they were letting themselves in for.
I must say I found it extremely depressing to watch. But in a way I'm not surprised, most of them were basically rough kids so you could hardly expect sophistication. I personally think this kind of TV is the worst kind of TV because the occupants really are stupid and have no idea what they're letting themselves in for. Its similar to shows like Popstars and Model Behaviour where they like to send up the most God aweful contestents. People (Joe Public) can be just so innoncent and green sometimes; still its funny to watch but equally I do feel its very exploitative. I personally feel acting like a clown on TV or even being on TV is just so naff that the kind of people (from the public) on it mostly tend to be prime idiots and as such are the sort of people who are unable to exercise better judgement.

But only the observers decide that- of course to them the ends justifies the means- they get a degree out of it. The subjects on the other hand feel abused and cheated and gain no benefits from it...
