Just because nothing else HAS been done, doesn't mean that nothing else CAN be done. All it needs is more coverage in the media - making people aware of the situation. I guarantee that at the minute, it's just not something that people think of as a big problem. All it needs is some consciousness raising - not some show broadcasting such an emotional problem for a lot of people in a way that makes it seems like some petty, worthless thing that can just be won on TV.
I don't know. I guess it's not so bad if it's gonna be full of interviews with the contestants and the donor about what it's like and stuff (which it obviously will be). I just think it's messing around with people's emotions for entertainment. Regardless of what people say - it IS for entertainment - otherwise it wouldn't be being shown on TV and no one would be watching it.
