A very difficult watch
When a contestant admits to struggling with health (physical or mental) several times to production (in their 'confessionals' and possibly behind the scenes) and the other contestants, it's vital to remember that there's more at stake than a tv show contract.
However, telling them that their attitude stinks, to "go read a book" and joking that they have the mental age of a baby (all of which and more we saw throughout the season) should deservedly ruin your reputation.
Sitting them down, replaying all of those moments back for entertainment, and making them face even stronger anger from even more contestants once again without even touching on the wider subject of mental health status marches belligerently across the line into abuse.
This particular contestant has been known online to be outspoken, so when they called out the favouritism of production, it was naturally taken for a stubborn tantrum. That's a very human response. Fine. This episode put everyone together again and played every moment of that contestant calling out the favouritism and being stressed and withdrawn in long drawn-out clips after which Supremme asks questions to poke everyone into creating a 'television moment'. It's deeply uncomfortable to watch them try and keep their poise and smile as they watch themselves break down and be consequently attacked, then to be attacked again live on stage.
Almost everyone involved in this episode should rethink their approach to both humanity and specifically mental health.
Most importantly I wish all the happiness and joy for that one contestant. Thank you for standing up to a rigged system - it's the hope the world needs to see. May you get your cookies.
