I’m on episode 14 of Alliance and I’m shocked that Alliance producers have not stepped in to reprimand Kushal or remove him. His behavior may be great for views but it is straight up bullying and triggering other people. Are there no mental health protections for the contestants on reality TV shows? He has openly threatened physical violence and stated that it is allowed in his contract! Him claiming this is not a good look for producers and amazon prime. And now he is making sexist remarks against another female contestant. It’s one thing to play the game and I understand that the show is a mental game of trust and betrayal, but with Kushal it feels like he has no humanitarian boundaries of what he will do or say, just to coax his ego.

I just finished LI USA 8 and was so happy to see the producers kept so many normal bond building conversations in the episodes. In LI UK 12 every conversation is how is our connection, we’re doing good, we’re a couple and the occasional what’s your love language. It seemed like no one was having a normal conversation about their job, family, dreams, insecurities etc. Everything felt surface level and flimsy. I’m sure the islanders were having deep conversations but production didn’t prioritize it. In fact I liked unseen bits bc we could see contestants engage normally with their partners.

I think part of why none of us felt connected to any couple this season was because of this. Considering this was a relatively dry season, idk why the producers would at least not give some real bits from the couples/friends.
