All shows like this are just watching poor people humiliate themselves and jump through hoops for survival juice really aren't they?
One of these contestants has a missing hand and wants the prize money to get a bionic one, so her ability to live a normal life is contingent on her winning a TV show.
You might say "well they don't have to apply blah blah" but you'd be missing the point, my experience viewing is also compromised because of the constant disgusted background awareness that I'm basically watching Squid Game except nobody dies. There's no motive purity. I'm not watching someone act out of love and passion, I'm watching someone act out of greed and desperation.
Honestly I think Kaiji defined how I feel about this and never really left me.
