Default Yet again more disregard for housemates health and safety

Tonight's episode did annoy me with regards first to the nettles in the sack race.

It is not enough to have "Nettle cream", nettles cause something akin to a chemical burn. Channel 4 / Endemol are inflicting chemical burns on contestants.

A recent court case in France held that contestants on a reality tv show are employees. If we could translate that to here, then making someone handle a bio-hazard without adequate protection could be a breech of health and safety legislation.

The bricks on bare feet could have caused injury, and as for the cactus, a puncture of the skin could cause infection.

Again Health and safety issues.

The egg thing is a delicacy so I am not commenting about that

How long is Channel 4 / Endemol going to flout health and safety, put contestants in harms way for entertainment purposes.

How far are they going to go?
Russian Roulette?
