Next weeks episode shows him drinking and then checking himself into Betty Ford and then it said something about him being bipolar. I wouldnt doubt that at all!

I very rarely choose to moralize about the parts of popular culture that I don't like, mainly because it's usually just a matter of personal taste and folks should enjoy what they enjoy, plus I think most aspects of popular culture are pretty innocuous anyway. But I have to say, I think the fact that this show exists and is being aired is pretty sick. Most reality shows thrive on emotionally unstable characters causing conflict with other people, but again, it's usually pretty innocuous stuff. Here you just have a very disturbed person completely self-destructing on camera, and people watching it for entertainment. That this man's attempted suicide has been turned into a plotline for a television show is really disgusting, and the producers should have shut down and abandoned the idea of the show after the incident happened. Instead, it's Schadenfreude taken to a despicably cruel level, and it's something that should be condemned, not gawked at and encouraged. Please, people, have some decency and change the channel. It'll be good for your soul.
