In Part 2 of our reality TV deep dive, the conversation takes a serious turn. We go way past claims of producer manipulation and staged drama to discuss the severe duty of care crisis facing the industry. From the disturbing sexual assault and rape allegations made by Married at First Sight UK participants to the profound mental health toll on contestants, we look at the dark truth networks try to hide. We ask the ultimate question: can we honestly continue to watch these shows, or is it time for a total boycott?
