Things I don't Get Part 3 - Face to Face (TV Show)

One of the things I don't get is this TV show Face to Face. The first time I saw such type of shows was the Jerry Springer Show in the US. 

I mean there can't be that many people who want to wash their linens in public, right? Unless there's money involved. So now I'm wondering how much TF - talent(?) fee - these people are paid to expose themselves on national TV to fight and bicker on air. Then when they are laughed at and/or judged, you'd hear some say, "Problema namin 'to wala kayong pakialam." "This is our problem, mind your own business." What is up with that? 

Don't even tell me the moral, psychological, and legal issues that you supposedly learn from the show. I believe that we can do away with 'real people'. It used to be that we just make abstractions of real people and their experiences and put them into a show with actors, what happened to that? Does everything have to reek of 'reality'? 

Conflict resolutions should and must be done in private where people can be themselves. If the parties involved need a mediator, so be it. However, the parties don't need the society to poke ridicule on them nor does society need to poke. Christian religion does say, "He who has no sin cast the first stone." I don't really believe that any person can accept what happened and forgive right then and there in that instant. That's just for show. Well, if you can, you're a rare kind of human. May I have your acquaintance?
