Reality television producers are clever.
They earn their cash in being hidden puppeteers; strategic masterminds when it comes to befriending contestants, propelling drama, and creating delicious havoc.
They are wizards at pulling the necessary levers that transform the boring into thrilling. In manipulating real people and scenarios into TV gold, their toes can creep towards a line of immorality – one that occasionally demands they prioritise ratings ahead of the humans suffocating underneath them.
Producers can chop and change and weave footage together. They can be meticulous in what they do and don’t show.
They have a lot of power at their fingertips.
But.
A TV producer cannot put the word “blowfish” in a contestant’s mouth. They cannot make you mutter “disgusting clowns” under your breath, or compel you to shout, “I’ve got a really good doctor to go to fix your ugly face”, or threaten, “I’ll come for you and I’ll come for you and I’ll come for you.”

This is a ratings dream for Channel 7. I'm disgusted that as a society we allow a company to profit through a show full of bullying. This show is not a cooking show, it's a drama show which relies on exactly this type of revolting behaviour to keep the public engage. Just gross.
Rather than give anymore attention to those two offensive women, I would like to comment on how well Jess and Emma dealt with the situation. It was pretty full on and lots of people would have lost it completely. All Emma and Jess are guilty of are enjoying good food, good wine and a bit of sparkle. Good on you girls, keep being awesome.
