NCB Now: Our shout!

Do you think shows like Big Brother exploit contestants with potentially vulnerable personalities?

"Reality television aims to expose human beings and use them asentertainment. However, it is said each contestant sees a psychologistbefore entering the house, and I find it hard to believe they would letan acutely vulnerable person continue. It is important to remember thatit is a television show, and people who apply know what they are lettingthemselves in for. If they don't like it, they can walk." - Hannah, 17,Wolverhampton

"Big Brother is a bad influence on young people. I'm sure adults withchildren would sacrifice watching it for their children's sake." -Hamza, 11, Westcliff-on-Sea

"Shows like Big Brother are exploiting potentially vulnerable people andI don't even think that it is particularly entertaining." - Hamish, 15,Cornwall
