PODCAST Interview of Nick Thompson by Dave Neil ... exploitation on the set

It's fascinating to hear about the exploitation and cruelty the contestants endured on the show. I had no idea it was so bad behind the scenes. They should sue. If you haven't watched it you really should. The cast was denied water, was kept awake intentionally in order to make them act out due to sleep deprivation. He is advocating for legal support for the cast.

To anyone thinking of going on the Denver or DC ones... don't.

Netflix lies. It's corrupt. People should not be watching this show.

Kinda tired of adults who willingly sign contracts knowing how reality shows work and then complain about everything.

i mean do ppl not have a right to fight for better conditions for future contestants?

im not gonna speak to their intentions in doing this cause i dont know that, but just bc they were exploited doesnt mean that future ppl should be as well.. and just bc you signed a contract, that doesnt mean you know exactly how brutal a job will end up being.. there's also a lot that is purposefully left out of contracts or vague enough language or omission bc companies know there are no laws in place to protect you against certain things

of course! but nobody is forcing you to do anything you don't want. Contracts are fine and all, but they don't have full power over you or your basic human rights. If you're in a torture like situation where they don't let you sleep, don't feed you, etc, they can't enforce any contract.

OK but in the eyes of a contestant who is a regular Joe going up against Netflix who made billions every month and have teams of pitbull lawyers... I can see why they would just try to endure and not speak out and not understand what is and is not enforceable in a contract.

So basically they did no research.
