I couldn't agree more Jos. They apparently make the contestants crawl through tunnels/pits absolutely filled with snakes and cockroaches. I think this is terribly cruel and shows a complete lack of compassion for innocent creatures. The snakes are poured on in large quantities and must suffer. Many of them probably die.

I've read complaints about this on other online sites, and I think it should be stopped.

Even spiders have a right to be left unmolested and no creatures should be used like this for so-called 'entertainment'.

People avidly watching these capers must be completely pea-brained.
