So it depends how far these scandals go and how far, you know, what kind of domestic violence is involved.

And obviously they need to be very careful in the vetting of their contestants because it could ultimately lead to those brands turning on the show.

i think it looks the same i think it gets bigger and bigger each year and just when you think they've done everything they can possibly do and every twist they can possibly make they manage to do it again i obviously think when there's this kind of chatter around it they play it safe in some areas but don't expect any changes in the show absolutely not essentially you think nothing will change the show will just continue to get bigger and bigger

Well, it can only get bigger because every year it has to be bigger and bolder than the previous season.

Shows have never found success by taking their foot off the gas pedal.

No, it's never been done to that extent.

The closest we had was when some contestants on My Kitchen Rules had a fair work claim against the production company about the hours that were worked and the lack of pay.

It will be interesting for...

safe work to see the unedited footage and start making judgments but of course not everything's going to be captured on cameras although those cameras do roll all the time I'm sure that they're not shooting when a producer's threatening them that they can't leave maybe they are maybe they do I don't know because we are seeing more and more of those behind the scenes conversations taking place on the show now um

I think it would be an eye-opener if they do get hold of those tapes.

I would imagine Endemol Shine will fight that all the way and it will become a very big court order.

I think something like that would drag on for a long time.

And it would also come down to what claims are being made against the company as far as how far SafeWork can go.
