SCD Humiliates Participants

Members of the Church of England have hit out at a number of television shows, claiming they glorify the humiliation of human beings.

According to The Guardian, Edmund Marshall, a lay member from Wakefield, said that he and his wife enjoyed Strictly Come Dancing, but they objected to the "melodramatic excess" of singling out losing contestants.

Personally, I don't believe that any of the participants are humiliated in any way. The public, the presenters and even the judges are on the side of the participants, however good or bad they are. Exiting participants are always treated with respect and encouraged right until the end. Strictly participants are treated better than on any other 'reality' show in my opinion.

And every single participant says how lifechanging appearing on the show is. A little bit of dramatic tension is a small price to pay, I'm sure.
