It's kind of astonishing when you actually stop and think about it, right?
Bed sharing as a practice is quite common in reality TV and always has been.
So Love Island, they share beds.
Big Brother, they share beds.
Cameras are always on.
The cameras are always on.
And I've spoken to reality TV producers on shows like Georgie Shore.
And they tell me that it's their job to watch the contestants sleeping and watch them having sex in some instances to make sure that there is nothing exploitative or non-consensual happening.
And the contributors know they're being watched as well.
That does not happen in maths.
One of the things that really stood out for me as particularly heartbreaking when watching the panorama investigation was one of the women saying that she felt pressured to have sexual encounters with her on-screen husband because she knew that the cameras would be arriving soon and she wanted him to be in a good mood before filming.
I wanted him to stop being angry, I think she said.
Right.
So you've got a stranger sharing beds together, unmonitored, unsurveilled.
There's often alcohol involved.
And then you also have the pressures and expectations of this show.
So one of the things that often comes up in maths, if you've watched it like I have, is the contestants clearly do not like each other very much.
And that's intentional.
That's intentional.
Reality TV producers are not putting contestants together who they genuinely think are going to be great matches and fall in love.
