Dozens of VIP Survivor Complaints came to the Second Authority: The rivalry between challenger Israel Oglovo and Regev Hod does not go well in the eyes of viewers, and this morning about thirty complaints came to the Ombudsman.
The main allegations are bullying and cursing on Oglovo's part. "I was amazed that such behavior got a stage in prime time, and that the production did not put off the contestant during filming," one complaint states. "Shame and disgrace that tens of thousands of viewers should be exposed to such bullying in the most direct and blatant way possible."
• "Survivor VIP" members adopted the loser strategy
• Shame: Casting the worst in the history of "Survivor"
• Maggie around me against Israel Aoglbo "despicable behavior"
Another comment reads: "It is hard to believe that allowing such a bully to be the center of the program simply terrorizes the other participants"
In response, the Ombudsman for the Authority requested a network response to the issue.
The Survivor production said: "The Survivor program is the toughest television game in the world. As a result of the extreme situations in which the contestants live, extreme situations sometimes occur. It is important to note that these situations are no different from similar situations in the program broadcast in dozens of countries around the world.
"It is important for us to present things as they are, and even in more loaded situations we make sure to keep the rules. At the same time, we encourage critical viewing of the program, and apologize to anyone who sees itself as being hurt by a segment that airs it."
