The Worst Reality Show of All Time 

Steve D I want to believe

Oh my god

Ok I was thinking about the vote-out all morning and how it didn't make sense, and decided that the most reasonable explanation was that it was added in to compensate for the loss of Charles. With Charles gone they were down one additional player. This also made an odd-numbered group of contestants. The show was paced for a certain number of eliminations before the finale, and I have to assume there was going to be an additional team elimination challenge, taking out two players at once. With Charles gone, they were one player short for that. But they wouldn't have time or presumably money to add a whole new single-elimination challenge. They had an extra "floating" contestant with no convenient way to remove them from the game. Throwing in an in-team vote was the laziest way to take care of that. Basically Charles' injury had a butterfly effect that ruined the whole competition. The vote aspect was good reality tv drama but was nothing like the rest of the competition and was another thing that ruined the illusion of fairness in the game.

Steve D but an actually insane reality show pitch is in here. Contestants sign up to a show where the producers have absolutely no clue what's going on. Like the whole thing is improvised by design. If they sold it like that I would watch BECAUSE it would be such a shit show. In this case though the producers are just as much a part of the show.

This is phenomenal

Comrade 269 "Good luck, but you've been eliminated." Really makes ya think

I'm surprised she didn't say "Thank God!" and start weeping.

I JUST REALIZED: Given the reactions everyone has to leaving and the show is called Opposite Worlds, the plot twist is that the whole point of the show is to leave. So the first person to be eliminated is the actual winner. In which case, the episodes would’ve been better shown in reverse order; the first episode showing Frank as the last to be eliminated, making him the ultimate loser.

Comrade 269 Damn maybe you’re right! Actually you ARE right 😂

At least one person in those conversations comes off as genuine.

the last person left is the one that no one liked, and their prize is staying alone on the island for another week.

@@thomasjenkins7506 And there make be snakes in the island.

Only you eliminate them for realz.... "Liability hehe"

This is my thought. Sounds like Charles breaking his leg was a mercy move in reality.

@@thomasjenkins7506 *in a island

Late af and not denying the criticisms cause the show is really bad but I’m sure it’s just a word of praise from a reviewer. Not an advertising blurb.

I really hope that Jenny has business cards that say "Cultural Critic".

@@digimonlover1632reviews are just a form of advertising, but yeah the review is not just an advertising blurb, it’s someone from a random, now defunct, chicago blog who just said it was “freakishly addicting” and that’s the entire quote/blurb. she also mentions the accidents and the total imbalance as a reason it was addicting, like watching underdogs.

It's gone ;-;

sadly removed now

I like to imagine that Charles probably told everyone for years that being on this show was worse than his deployments.

The most common way for people to get injured when I was in the Marines was doing sports for PT. (Or Crossfit, but that's a different story)

@@wingsofhope2 I remember there was a Modern Family once and the grandpa was thinking back to when he and his son were building something with power tools and he said "That was my Vietnam, and I was in Vietnam"

OoOoOoO, Ok, the other type of "Vet". Now your comment makes sense.

​@@psps6623 "I'm a seasoned vet, I've dealt with many angry goldendoodles."

That was exactly what I was thinking 😂😂

Which is saying a lot because their first challenge was to jump off a massive cliff into shark infested water

@@librasuperstar3779 At least there were no cattle prods????

KN1GHT - I mean yeah, and also it’s animated so they didn’t shatter any bones

Would've been ace if there was a prison riot type thing happened. Smash down the glass wall, storm the future side, execute whoever was in charge of the whole mess.

The only thing Robespierre did wrong was leaving too many heads on shoulders.

Would've been better with this premise

And much like the prison experiment, it was entirely unscientific and unprepared

I did some brief research and found out that marine biology does have a subspecialty involving psychology, but someone who studies the pod dynamics of dolphins doesn’t in any way really translate to human psychology.

I like this. Actually, I love it. Also, as I think about it, the difference in mindset between survivalists and techie/gamer types would go much deeper than "force vs strategy." In a survival situation, risks are not rewarded. You're taught the correct way to pass a knife, to minimize the risk of injury. You're taught to never break sticks with your foot -- you can make do with an injured hand, but it's really hard to get around with an injured foot. Staying alive is good enough, and one slip-up might take even that away from you. Techie logic seems to run the opposite way. Once there are enough safety nets, there's a lot less need for caution, and a lot more competition from aggressively creative people. You're rewarded for taking risks, and punished for letting opportunities slip by you. So maybe, on some level, the real difference being tested here is something like "orderliness vs creativity" or "caution vs aggression" -- which could be a really, really interesting dynamic to see played out in different situations. Way cooler than whatever these yahoos were doing.

@@eyesofthecervino3366 Me: Mom, I want to watch the show LoorTheDArkElf and Eyes of the Cervino came up with. Mom: We have "Opposite Worlds" at home.

This would have actually made for a good show

that would actually give the contestants a reason to choose epoch lol

Honestly this is great. I always loved the concept of the split houses but the execution of the reality show just wasn't fair. I think this could work

Sounds like something from total drama

Something tells me that Twitter wasn't told beforehand what would happen to the loser of the vote.

Makes you wish the contestants on the "future" side said "screw this; the future is going to be a more humanitarian one" and let all the "past" people into the warm with the food and the nice bedding. But I bet the producers would've turned off the cameras and made them stop if they tried :/

@@delphinidin if they stopped “playing” the “game” and just sat in the warm yes the producers probably would’ve stopped them lol

@@UnstableEquilibriumThey were watching the show as it came out, so, they would’ve known after the first time.

But at least in THG you could at least, like, hunt a squirrel. Food wasn't being held from you, it was just hard to catch. (Not that I'm arguing it's easier, lmao)

@xoxoBumble Eh, you know what I mean. I'm not very familiar with all the ~Hunger Games lore~, but I don't remember there ever having been no food (besides donations.... tributes, shall I say) at all. It's just the closest comparison I had. I'm also still mildly embarrassed by my use of 'at least' twice and so close together. It hurts me to look at, argh.

@@tungsten_talons From what I remember, there was one Hunger games held in the Arctic. It lasted all of an hour. BUT, if everyone hadn't frozen to death, food would have been an issue

Peter Mendez “hey so you were last in the poll so you’re deprived of something you need to live”

Oh my god it's me from the past how the f did I get 2K likes

Yeah,, doesn't that mean she no longer needs the luck. I think at that point he should be saying, "Congratulations Angela, you have been eliminated." Turns to the others. "And the best of luck to all of you." "May the force be with you. You will be in our prayers."

"You too."

good luck reintegrating back into society

at least she survived

"So what's the brief for the team names? Got any clever ideas for me to start with?" "Eh, wibbly wobbly, timely wimey.." "Say no more, chief."

@@mysticwater9056 "And now the final challenge of the competition: The Time Egg."

Granted, pre-agricultural people _did_ eat grain, but they didn't have the querns or ovens required to turn it into bread.

People that lived in those times weren't stupid either, they obviously were able make functional clothes that kept them warm. They also told stories, made art and looked out for each other. There are foundings that prove they took care of their disabled relatives. It makes me so angry to see when people act as if our ancestors were barely functional idiots. They weren't, the lack of technology does not mean they were less human than us.

How hard is it to have proper safety mats

In that case the whole show probably gets scrapped or restarted, at the very least it doesn't make the air.

My theory: some studio executive's kid loved total drama island so to impress their kid they made this show and their kid was very, very disappointed.

Not quite. In total drama, everyone got fucked while the host would be relaxing. Here, its just one team that has that. And some of these games are non competitive, like the 12 second chase one. In total drama, every game was an asshole game but it was evenly hard for most players. Like, no one, fire figther or wimp, would want to get in a barrel with leeeches.

​@@rfrolicarts Unchained Reaction was probably the worst, in terms of a show that was so underfunded as to be completely stupid and uninteresting while also being very dangerous for both cast and crew. Meant as a spinoff to Mythbusters, the show is ostensibly about having rival teams try to build giant Rube Goldberg machines in a warehouse out of piles of junk in three days and whichever has the coolest one wins. Sounds cool. However, our budget was laughably miniscule. The challenge is to build big impressive Rube Goldberg machines, but Discovery did not want to pay for the rights to say "Rube Goldberg Machine" so they went with "chain reaction machine". The warehouse the showrunner selected was enormous, far too large for the budget, but he wanted it big to house the HUGE machines he was sure the contestants would build. Because the warehouse was so big but the budget so small, the place was underlit at all times because it is difficult to light a place as big as a warehouse on the cheap. This meant tripping hazards were everywhere and crew/cast injuries from trips were extremely common. Furthermore, the piles of junk were pitifully weak because again, no real funding. I think the showrunner's assumption was that we'd be able to get junk like old fridges and washing machines and chains for free, but that simply isn't the case. Junk yards charge for stuff like that. Further, they didn't factor in the cost of transporting the junk to the warehouse, or a crew of loaders to handle the junk on either end. Also, tools; showrunner didn't budget for tools to put these machines together. I think this idiot presumed that tools don't cost much, as real "What could a miter saw possibly cost? $10?" sort of thing. And all of this is before you get to the actual show. The teams were divided up by color, but instead of traditional opposing colors like red and blue, the showrunner settled on green and yellow for teams; two colors which look very similar in an underlit warehouse AND are indistinguishable by some people who are colorblind, which it turned out multiple cast and crew members were. Now these machines are being designed and built on-the-fly by folks from a variety of backgrounds. You'd have one team of motorcycle builders, another of animatronic puppeteers, another of literal rocket scientists, and so on. However, a lot of these folks are NOT structural engineers, so these devices they were constructing, on a deadline, were very slap-dash and not under the supervision of anyone with safety in mind. There simply wasn't a budget for that. So you'd have some team try to use an old fridge as a counterweight on some see-saw, and it would go flying off during testing, nearly crushing people or busting holes in the walls of the warehouse. At least two episodes ended anticlimatically when a team's machine destroyed itself before the deadline but without any time to rebuild. A lot of the machines simply did not work and were big let downs, but Adam Savage would have to sell like something interesting is happening. We had one hospitalization of a team member when a large sharp piece of metal fell off their machine and sliced up his leg really badly. Another dumb thing was the rival teams they invented; I recall one episode was Rocket Scientists vs Special Effects Artists, with the unsubtle idea about "who will end up being smarter?" Except, the scientists are literal scientists, not rocket engineers or builders, whereas the SFX team are builders, it's their job. So the rocket scientists look embarassingly bad the entire time and the VFX artists look better...but then again, they have so little to work with and their ideas are so big, that they overdesign their machine and it fails to work on display day. So the end result is two terrible disappointments. Early on I complained loudly about how underfunded this whole project was and what a trainwreck it was going to be without more resources, and the showrunner would literally tell me and my fellow producers "Y'all need to make some miracles happen! You're my little miracle makers! That's why I hired you." We did not make miracles happen. Instead, we made a horrible disappointment happen. At least I got to meet Adam and Jamie.

@@timetravelermediallc holy shit lol thank you for sharing this piece of disaster reality show history

@@heatherofmorans You're quite welcome. There are clips from this disaster on RU-vid, here's a more benign moment but still pretty typical ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-trqEua7Wyo8.html

Yeah, if they gave them fur clothes why couldn’t they give them furs to sleep on and use as blankets? Early humans weren’t just sleeping in the open air freezing all the time. And the food is also silly.

Modern bread, and orange carrots. I don't know when I'd put modern bread at (though bread from wild grains goes back at least 14000 years and probably more than 30000 years), but orange carrots date to around the 16th century AD. I would have thought there'd be berries and lean meats on a show like this, but I guess not.

@@evamiller4886 Kinda sucks they gave them skimpy versions of early clothing. Based from what I know, it goes from head to toe, and that they lived in tents, some form of hut probably, and so on. Even sucks more since we have to realize hunting played a large role in survival. Not only that, but I think they could cook up meals by boiling? Like, if they had a clay pot...?

@@jonajo9757 Yeah, hunting was a huge thing but most of the calories came from people gathering berries and vegetables. They should have pretty healthy food instead of kitchen scraps.

This part really infuriated me, but thankfully shortly after showing that, it became clear in this video that it was a complete shitshow, so it added to the hilarity. Like, I could provide a laundry list of the actual ways Neolithic humans lived and how they made their homes comfortable, warm, and arguably ate a far more varied diet in terms of biodiversity than our modern diet of about 4 animals, 3 grains, and a select few vegetables. I could do that, but why plan to retile the roof when the whole house is about to collapse?

Maybe that's why the team switch happened, they needed 24/7 surveillance after week 6.

Epoch the son of Eon?

Erika Söderlund that would’ve been much more interesting

Erika Söderlund Tbh, that would make a way better reality show. Just starve a group of people and see how long it would take until they kill and cannibalize someone.

nowhere was it said that crew wernt eaten.

@@scipioafricanus5871 you get a new reality show about Twitter starving people to death.

I had this literal conversation with my brother when he broke his leg.

😂🤣

"I feel great about it! I have attention addiction and severe Münchhausen-Syndrom！"

I mean you couldve easily set that up in a way it works: have the "future" side be a dystopia with a house with no windows, no recreation and have all their food be tasteless stuff that only gives good nutrition. Meanwhile the "past" team whilst living outside would have access to regular food and yk a non depressing environment.

​@zawrator4457 I'd have gone with future: all food delivered but is trash fast food and microwave meals. TVs, computer games, Internet, etc for entainment but limited access to the outside. Caveman: Food is plentiful fresh fruits, veg and meat but requires physical tasks to get (particularly so for meat). Unlimited access to the outside but no entertainment items unless they make them themselves.

Maybe the producers were hoping they'd rip some material from the fur bikinis to start a fire.

And when it wasn't summer, they didn't let them dress for winter.

Clearly they didn't want to spend the money to: get into a car, drive to the nearest gas station, and pick up a couple bundles of firewood =/

No but cavemen didn't have dry wood either. After all, where could they keep it dry??

@@richardbraakman7469 I feel like “realism” should have taken a back seat to safety here just for moral reasons, but also considering how half assed the theming is throughout the rest of the show. They could’ve given them food and kindling.

Lmao I love this

His Twitter has him being on the show as the foremost thing in the bio, and the only thing, except links to other social media.

This whole "reality show" was arranged by a bunch of frat boys.

I had a similar experience watching the Syfy channel while sick, except it turned out to be reruns of a supernatural procedural that called itself “Friday The 13th: The Series” but had nothing in common with the movies other than its production company. It was like a bootleg X-Files except they couldn’t come up with a bunch of different monster plots for the main characters to investigate, so every episode was “one-off character finds a magical artifact that does something they want in exchange for murders”. I, personally, would commit a magical murder to get a retrospective like this about it.

Champiness Dude, X-files came out *years* after Friday the 13th: The Series. It wasn't suppose to revolve fully around the main recurring characters fighting monsters. They ran that curio shop of cursed objects and shit. It's more like The Conjuring film franchise, if you think about it.

So what you’re saying is it’s the exact right time for James Wan to reboot Friday The 13th: The Series as a prestige Netflix show, which of course I agree with

I can’t wait to see who they get for the popstar role originally filled by Vanity in that episode where a fan finds a magical hypnotism watch and realizes over the course of several wishes-granted-in-exchange-for-hypnotism-murders that he kinda just wants to be Vanity

I had the same experience with “Little People From LA”. I worked as a night shift security guard in a hospital and it was on the tv in the ER waiting room. It was so bizarre that I wouldn’t be surprised if that whole shift turned out to have been a dream.

so basically Opposite Worlds predicted Squid Game

And still people have been pretty severely hurt on occasion so this one was just an inevitable horror. If anything, it's a wonder no one died.

future gets some pre-made meal shit, but it all tastes sort of bland, while past gets fresh fruits and organic proteins or something but they have to prepare it in some way to make sure everyone gets nutrition. also the past could have had uncomfortable hammocks while the future had kinda shitty beds with like cot matresses. like the concept is there! but they just half assed it for some cash and even screwed that up too.

Make the future eat vegan and limit the meat to the past. They get fruits too. The discomfort in the future about making electiricity sounds good. Or they have to solve riddles and mindgames to get food, or something. And mix teams by giving members the chance to shuffle. Lets see how long frank wants to be in the future. Even through he seems like a decent bloke, it makes the show so anti intellectual.

Jon Snor lowkey though what kind of future has everyone eat vegan food

thicc bih it’s all arbitrary to make the game more even in sport of competition and fun

@@thiccbih3140 It's likely in the future most people will be vegan because of overpopulation and climate change actually ;o But honestly they should eat something like soylent or these NASA packages of food. Basically, it has all of the nutrition your body needs but tastes like nothing. Then the team Epok would have access to all yummy stuff but they would have to cook it themselves using a campfire. It could be interesting, because then Team Chronos would have the advantage of perfect nutrition, but at the same time they would probably crave something that has flavor real bad. After a few weeks I imagine some people would volunteer to Epok just to eat normal food.

Eighteen years in military service, surviving some of the harshest conditions a person can be subjected to, gaining intense survivalist training and physical versatility, for what?

BIG MAN

Exactly, it’s a bunch of skinny supermodel ladies against literally human hulks who could bench press a sixteen wheeler

Actually, that depends on the women and the men. In this case, all of the women look like they have average strength while the males look like they all regularly strength train. If they added in women who are bodybuilders or even strongwomen (though strongwomen might not be fair, since they're stronger than the majority of humans on the planet, lol), the results would wildly differ. Also, we've seen 'average' women win against men before, like on Ninja Warrior, Splash Out etc. Technique is also a huge factor.

@@kirbyhatesincels917 I mean it depends on what kind of challenge you're talking. 'Average' Women have never beaten men at things like Pugil sticks to the best of my knowledge. There are certain kinds of challenges where they might. But not most.

His first reaction was, "Is this for real?", and who can blame him. Nor was this show unique either. Other Japanese "prank" shows around that time included staging a terrorist attack, in which a poor guy thought he was being gunned down; toilet seats that were dragged out to sea and massage chairs that were tossed down snowy slopes; and in one particularly egregious example, an escape artist who was made to think he was about to burn to death, while his family watched.

Yeah, up until I noticed the hashtag, I'd assumed it had come out around '05 to '07, and once I did I just went "oh, okay, it must've been no later than 2010 then, because I feel like it was around that time when these kinds of 'bunch of people live in a house and compete in challenges at night' reality game shows finally died out". Even the haircuts feel very late aughts to me.

Like, if you had told me the host had had a guest spot in an episode of Lost I would've totally bought that.

Yeah Jenny was being weirdly nice to the producers of the show. They seem evil, they were torturing people.

I love that for her lol

It feels like a fucking live action remake of Total Drama Island.

It even includes the random last second rule changes.

+The Blarggle Welcome to Hollywood!

You know what's worse? That this show format was bought and remade with local stars in my country, Chile. It was one of the most successful reality tv show here ever, with a rating point of 31,4 in average...and it was just as shitty as this one. The female contestant that won this show was a Justin Bieber imitator. I honestly don't know what's worse.

+Look at this cute kitty c: The tragic thing is what that says about the human race.

littleferrhis lmao

Isn't Black Mirror that new Brit Sci-fi anthology series? Like Twilight Zone, but British....er, right?

Like when Michael burned his foot lmfao

Yeah also cattle prods existed in the past but there was no cattle so people had to use them on each other.

Ever wonder why we've only ever found the *skulls* of Dunkleosteus?

kittysrock16 Frank is certainly b i g e n o u g h

yes. please

@@elvellarambles9151 you sure? from the description of the book, I don't know if he's big enough...

I'm dying

I don't know, he might need to get a little bigger for that.

But his charisma has to be at least 14. I refuse to believe he's not making it through life on his looks and brawn combined.

I couldn’t dislike Frank though, he seemed like he was genuinely happy to have won that one maze game lol... Like it was sort of cute in a weird way that this giant beast of a man was celebrating something that he was pretty obviously going to win

Just saw the end - I agree that Frank winning was pretty satisfying. He seems like a nice guy and I hope he was able to afford to do some fun things with his kids and wife.

I snorted at that, thanks

I know, right? Who would ever choose the cave side of the house? WHO? They have to give a little incentive to want it.

They should've swapped the teams over every week or two, to balance it out

Where the heck were you when they were planning this show?!?! Except then we wouldn't have gotten this awesome video.. Well now we need a season two but you need to be there or better yet, make your own and act like you've never heard of this one or something. Be like , "I was thinking like a Total Drama vibe, but more humane and in the future a little bit. Like a Total Drama: Time Swappy Thing or Time Force!!" And yea that's what I was thinking, there needs to be incentive to want to swap, no one wants to freeze their butt off for free! Same with the other stuff, except I'd make it more around mid-spring-ish so that it can be cold but sometimes warm. Change when they put the actual seasons out too for a weather challenge.. Maybe they just threw the show together to get it out before someone else or something and paid off safety people, because there is absolutely no reason reason for the lack of safety, honestly even the thought of safety really. She said the mats weren't even big enough to even be ready for any kind impact really!! I honestly wonder how they felt when they were editing this for tv..

They could have made the future house sleep in those tiny pods they make for living in areas with high population density. Just adding to an already stellar list.

and they should have brought heaters for the outdoor people. Making them sleep in the cold is way too cruel. It's like they thought "we're gonna make the futuristic people do whatever but the people in the past have to live EXACTLY like someone in the past would!!!"

Astronauts should not be fighting _anyone._ I'm sorry -- they're amazing people, and they go through things most people probably can't, both physically and mentally, but their bones are made out of rainbow nerds and plaster of Paris. An astronaut might actually be in serious danger from getting rushed by a sickly toddler in a wheelchair. Nope. Just nope.

@@eyesofthecervino3366 that is if they stay in zero gravity for to long with no exercise

@@pandorasangel2747 but what if the fight is IN ZERO GRAVITY?

@@Skull35 if the Astronaut has his jetpack or a gun then the caveman is a sitting duck in this instant. If he doesn't then the fight will be awkward and probably be a draw xD

I think it was a front to get the competitors when in reality, its a comfy hous3 vs a torture house. Which is fine but at least they should be honest about it.

Your profile I can't

"i have a porn addiction so intense other people notice, but im normal, lets talk about something normal, i expect you to just ignore all this"

Mngalahad so basically total drama island except that one team bribed the host for better living conditions?

@@wurdnurd1 stop

Cool

I think they are influenced a lot more by contractual obligations

@@andeggbreaks contractual obligations are kind of an authority figure of a sort, I would say...

And of course, turns out most of those studies (specifically Milgram and Zimbardo's) were total bullshit, so the data they got out of it is completely useless.

Fun fact a lot of those studies are... Well, not fake but certainly not legitimate. For example in the Stanford prison experiment it's left off how frequently the lead researcher had to instigate the abuse. Also the participants were self selecting for sociopathy based on the way the ads were worded.

Deep deep 4th grade cut!

Bianca Rangel Dautt What a champ. Hope he got some financial compensation for this though.

You know that the producers sat everyone down before Charles came back and were like, "Be sure to ask how he *feels* . Don't ask how badly damaged his leg is, don't mention money in *any* context."

I feel depressed And how does that make you feel? .....depressed......?

that is infuriating to find out. I guess contestants signed a waver for that kind of a thing, but the show was hot garbage and unethical to begin with so you'd think the least they could do is pay for his medical bills that were caused by their shoddy production. I'm surprised he didn't sue tbh even if just to pay off the bills - I think there'd be a case there. the losers didn't even get an inexpensive simple reward after having dealt with being on this kind of a show. I mean, nobody's surprised and that's reality TV for you but I hope the guy is doing alright now. wishes for the best to you too, OP.

If they didn't I would sue hard. The fact the cushions weren't in place is textbook negligence.

@@washedblue according to Steve, the guy pelted with tomatoes (check the pinned comment chain for this), they just didn't think of it in time. Another comment mentioned the statute of limitations there for personal injury claims runs out after a year and aside from that, the company producing OW shut down shortly after the end of season 1

Why do people ever participate in dangerous activities in a country without universal healthcare. I mean, what the fuck?!?!

Imagine going through a war mostly physically unscathed and then suffering a debilitating, life-altering injury the first day you join a shitty reality show.

Same, which is why four years later I am still rewatching it. 😅

Well, they all signed intense legal contracts before going into this, so it's not like they're just random people, sadly. They may be able to leave the show early (and likely not get paid), but they definitely can't "unionize" and force the show to change how it's run just because they want to.

@@LunatheMoonDragon ah you’re right, contracted workers can’t really unionize in a literal, legal sense. I guess I just meant they all agree to turn against the host. But then the show probably just wouldn’t have aired

​@@Anna-hb4uy and so suddenly, all of us just tied the host to a raft and sent him off into the dark water. What we didn't know was the cameraman was recording the whole time and chose to keep it in the show!

Upchuck Downchuck and everytime the contestants are like thank you thanks

They're so grateful that they can leave

Upchuck Downchuck pee

Can't even quote right smh

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

And why is tackling allowed?

I know, it's basically sumo wrestling with cattle prods. No need for elevation.

Why not have it above water so when they do fall they won't hurt themselves as badly?

@@LoryskaEntertainment I imagine tackling was allowed becaus no one thought to prohibit it.

@@luanagullotta6218 They'd have to have access the a water facility. I doubt they could afford it. But, also, don't overestimate the surface tension of water. It would have been better than landing on the ground, but the padding, had it been landed on, might have been just as safe as water.

Or Dead Set

I think the black mirror producers have too much empathy for that

So, Frank is his own gran-granpa ?
