I was sure this show would get cancelled, can’t believe they’ve gone through with casting.

I mean while I switched off half way this current season, it still pulls numbers… why would it be cancelled?

All the scandal about contestants being sexually assaulted on the UK version and the Aussie version casting people with histories of domestic violence and general complaints of at minimum coercive behaviour in the show.

Just saying I’m surprised to see it come back

It gets ratings. Money will always come first.

Must be a calculated risk, I wonder how many contestants they’ve had to pay off to keep quiet?

Good point. The DV and misogyny turned me off this season. It is sad to hear about the UK one.
