It seems, with the difficulty adults have getting along with one another, CBS could have put adults in the same situation and it would have made for much better viewing. There was no need to subject children to this social experiment, they are under-developed socially and this experiment could have long-lasting psychological ramifications on them.
Who’s minding the store over there? They SHOULD be sued and whoever came up with this idea and approved it should be shown the door.

Survivor, Big Brother, ect...done to death.....we had a friend that did Suvivor 3...he said some it was even scripted.

Ok..I'll admit I've watch Gene Simmons "Family Jewels" and "The Osbournes" and caught a couple episodes of Brett Micheals "Rock of Love"....but how much is that really scripted?

I agree. I am looking forward to seeing the show. I saw a report that said the kids were free to leave at any time. It's only a small number that are suing bc they couldn't hack it.

Everyone wants to sue now a days.

Home inspector wrote up a report on a house we were selling. Minor problem, buyers blew it out content. We hired a structural engineer to calm the buyers fears, not good enough for the buyers, but good enough for the home inspector. WTF?? So...they wanted it in writing from the BUILDER that it anything happened he would liable. People.

I don't tune into anything that the left media is reporting.

CBS doesn't care about child abuse, only ratings and when they start to lose ratings, the networks "concern" will be over yesterday.

I hope CBS gets sued to death over this. I think the entire concept that kids could do better than adults is flawed and insulting. Its like the commercials that show the kids being smarter and better than the parents, especially the father. If commercials are supposed to instill a specific mindset in us (to buy their product) what exactly is being taught to children today with these types of commercials and tv shows?
