I have been mightily impressed by the outpourings of outrage following allegations of rape, pillage and plunder associated with Married At First Sight.
Of course, the whole premise of the show is to satiate the cravings of a public clamouring for ever more outrageous scenarios and, to that extent, the public has got what it wanted/deserves.
Personally, I see an opportunity here for Yours Truly to make a bob or two through my own pitch to Channel 4; namely, that whatever contest is devised (climbing Everest, drinking donkey sperm, knobbly knees etc will do) will culminate in a public vote on who should be eliminated – by which I mean publicly executed on TV.
Nero showed the value of a good circus.
The Great Unwashed would love it.
I have a new TV idea
It is a little gem
Contestants would be voted off
By disembowelling them.
