There is entertainment value in all of this, even if it’s the kind of entertainment that makes you feel kind of grimy while watching it. .... Many of the challenges aren’t that dissimilar from those you might see on Survivor or Wipeout. Most of them have darker psychological elements that force contestants to test the limits of their own selfishness, often turning the show into what feels like a high-stakes social experiment.
