Eden Channel 4 - male contestants gang up on female contestants

I was listening to R4 this morning and they were interviewing a female contestant from reality TV show Eden.

The premise of the show in 2016 was to ditch 23 men and women in a remote area and for them to set up their own society. They were supposed to be filmed for the whole year but when they came out, they were told that the show had been cancelled and no one had been watching. Next week from Monday at 10pm, they are going to air a short series showing what happened.

What sounded like it might be interesting was that the discussion this morning was about how the men in the group turned on the women in the group, using their greater strength as power over things like food. They didn't give too many details about what happened, but apparently it could be quite difficult viewing.

The synopsis for episode 2 says 'Some of the men in the group suggest that they concentrate on the more traditionally 'male' roles, while declaring the more domestic roles should be done by the women.'

Maybe worth a watch.

I decided not to watch it, I'd had a belly full just watching the instalments last year. But I was interested in hearing what went on.

This is a good thread about it.
