Yes and Just watching the PREVIEWS makes me vomit and I can't control watching previews. I think that show is just asking for a lawsuit. Somebody could get very sick or even die who is on that show.

Of course, I don't WATCH the show. But people are going to - that's what the network wants.

I understand that's what they want, but people have to know what they can and can't stomach, it's not NBC's fault he couldn't decide in time

maybe he should be asking them to tone down the show instead of opting to sue for a sum of money that makes absolutely no sense

It's much wiser to not watch the show, yes, but who said people are wise?

I believe they sign waviers, but I see your point, that would be something to take up with the show's creator and would probably result in the show being taken off the air

I don't think so I mean it is his fault for watching it. If they can't handle it then don't watch it. It's entertainment for most people including myself.

"it is his fault for watching it. If they can't handle it then don't watch it." EXACTLY. he doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.

Well, I don't really think he needs to sue either, but I also think it's irresponsible to put that garbage on the air.

I watched the rat episode, it was pretty nasty. But I can handle it - I even usually end up eating dinner when the show is on and only once did I have to stop eating because I was getting so grossed out. People who watch the show should know it's disgusting and that they might be repulsed by what the people are eating. I was wondering about the safety issue with the rats too though librarygirl - with all the food, I've read it's all boiled and all tested to make sure it's safe to eat. But how do you boil a rat?  |

If he didn't like the show, why didn't he change the channel? The show is stupid, but to go as far as suing NBC is insane.

Hmmmm...
'This TV programme made me sick and dizzy.'
'Oh? Well that's no good, why didn't you change the channel?'
'Um... no comment.'
Well that'll stand in court. It'd almost amusing how stupid people can be.

i'm REALLY against frivolous lawsuits ... but then also really hate reality t.v. - because its existence alone causes networks to stop making good shows. so i guess i *do* hope this guy wins. ...not because i feel sorry for him, but because i support any effort that will slow the growth of reality tv. |

i dont think they should even show that kind of crap on tv. its just disgusting poo. of course, we can change the channel, but sometimes curiosity is the best of us. anyway, why do they make people drink and eat such crap. just stupid.

It's a stupid show, but the man could have just changed the channel. Fear Factor will just die out, like all reality shows, but this is just bringing it more publicity.
