I watched last nights episode and guessed (without prior research) that Chloe was some sort of political commentator and/or full blown member of the reform party. Faced with unimaginable horrors in multiple situations, she finds every opportunity to confirm her preconceived view, saying that children in the hospital at least haven’t lost legs, or suffered life changing injuries. It was an utterly embarrassing display of her lack of compassion coupled with her desire to make a career out of her selfish and careless views.
It demonstrated to me the helplessness we can feel to convince people of the worth of compassion, genuine human decency and progressive thinking. A careerist such as Chloe evidently saw this show as a way to further her profile within right wing spaces, parroting party lines, intentional misinformation and nonsensical racist (yes, if you break down her statements they are undeniably racist) drivel.
If they were to make a show like this, I would have preferred genuine newcomers to mainstream media. That goes for the inclusion of Bushra, too.
Hi Daniel, yes I agree on your point about genuine newcomers. It's a shame that the producers casted people who clearly are there to further their own careers, which makes you wonder -- how much of their reactions are performative? And doesn't that defeat the purpose of the show?
I watched this today so embarrassed for most of the people should be left in Syria or Lebanon I hope the races contestants have to go threw what this poor people have to in there life
I don't care we're emagrants are from they are entitled to safe life just the same as us. And chance of better lives hope the contest boat sinks what planet are they from 🥵🥵🥵
It seems to me the media, including social media, are reflecting right wing views more and more and dramas are now filled with gratuitous violence. In this way I think the public is getting ‘immune’ to such features in society. So it should come as no surprise that there is a hardening of emotions. What is even more worrying is that parents are passing this lack of empathy on to their children. We could be heading for a generation with stunted emotional intelligence. Sadly the government is blithely enabling this by their own rhetoric.
It all makes me think how easy it was to bring Hitler to power.

Completely agree Nelly -- everyone deserves a safe life. I wonder how these contestants would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.
Yes exactly for educated people with very small selfish mind.
