The admirable original 'Social Experiment' idea behind Big Brother was NEVER realistic being impossible to film without totally hidden cameras and any pretence of the show being such was soon abandoned.

Human behaviour and interaction are NEVER true once those participating in the 'social experiment' KNOW that they are on camera because they will ALWAYS play to the camera, yet with truly hidden cameras the results would be unbroadcastable.

The show is simply what all other 'Reality' shows are; Light Entertainment - part-scripted, production staff-prompted and strategically edited to provide the right blend of entertainment to stay commercially successful.

As such, the show has to refer and defer to demographics and the tastes of their audience, and ludicrous stunts such as the consuming of these vile, vomit-inducing foods are - apparently - still in vogue with the majority of viewers.

I personally did not find Hardeep's 'Lone Wolf' stand particularly noble, admirable, or genuine.

He could have registered his aversion with a smile or laugh and stayed as the mere observer that he was - I mean he had NOT been selected to actually EAT the vile trash - and it is a little late to be 'Opting Out' of any 'Task' or 'Game' under protest on a show such as BB where the format is well-known once you have 'prostituted your principles' and accepted the fat fee for signing up as a housemate.

In my opinion only, of course.
