The winner gets a life saving kidney transplant

That to me is plain discussing. Making light entertainment out of illness! My dad is currently dialyzing and waiting for a kidney transplant him self... he had to wait 3 years for his first transplant, obviously a very traumatic time and for people to be put on a game show during a time similar to my dads to me is a awful idea. What about the losers? "ooo I’m sorry you can't have that vital organ that we gave you a small Gilmer of hope of getting...you’re not good enough... for you it looks like more time on the transplant list"

Sick and possible traumatic!

From the makers of Big Brother, I doubt you could expect much more.

Do you not think they deserve it then? I don't agree with the programme, but I don't think you can blame the contestants for being desperate enough to try and get what they need.

It was just a publicity stunt to raise awareness. They were all actors.
