StolenKaz and Josh deserved better, man. Definitely the best couple of the season, for me.
Dont think what they choose to do afterwards is the issue, but the fact that two of their cast in recent years have died (both most probably suicide but admittedly thats speculation at this point, couple more have come out and openly stated they were depressed after the show, would suggest theres something in it, there needs to be some sort of aftercare. Yes theyre fame hungry kids who want their 15 minutes, that doesnt mean they shouldnt be looked after.I’m not sure I agree that itv have that much of a responsibility to them beyond putting them with an agent or whatever.
These guys and girls are embracing the limelight trying to get rich quick whilst they ride their 15 minutes of fame.
Some will go back to their lives Dr Alex, some might do other reality shows (Wes), if others go in the party circuit warming £5000 for a cub appearance, that’s their choice.
I get where you’re coming from but where does it stop? These kids are not talented and have no real grounds for fame. They’re pushed into the spotlight for a short period of time, until the next series comes in. They need to realise that they’re not fecking famous on talent and have not expectation to rinse this forever. I get it must be hard to for them to not get the Instagram likes but they’re making a few hundred grand probably in 12 months. Excuse me for not giving a shit when they’re replaced by next years contestants in the spotlight.Dont think what they choose to do afterwards is the issue, but the fact that two of their cast in recent years have died (both most probably suicide but admittedly thats speculation at this point, couple more have come out and openly stated they were depressed after the show, would suggest theres something in it, there needs to be some sort of aftercare.
