EZ Ryan Seacrest：纪录片式真人秀《陪审员职责》引发了关于节目伦理的讨论，节目中一位不知情的真实参与者Ronald Gladden的经历，以及其在节目结束后精神状态的改变，凸显了此类节目潜在的伦理风险。节目虽然具有娱乐性，但也引发了观众对参与者身心健康的担忧。这与日本90年代的残酷真人秀《抽奖人生》形成了鲜明对比，后者对参与者的操控程度更甚，其伦理问题更为严重。
Kaitlin Moore：日本90年代末的真人秀节目《抽奖人生》对参赛者Nasubi进行了长达15个月的残酷操控，节目组利用其对名利的渴望，将其置于极度缺乏食物和衣物的生活环境中，并通过各种手段操纵其行为，以达到节目效果。这不仅是对参与者人权的严重侵犯，也反映出当时日本社会某些扭曲的价值观和娱乐至上的风气。节目中，Nasubi的经历引发了对节目伦理和观众参与度的思考，观众的窥私欲和娱乐需求与节目组的操纵行为之间存在着复杂的关系。节目表面上是参赛者逆境求生的故事，但实际上却是对人性的一次残酷实验。Nasubi在节目结束后，身心状态都受到了严重的影响，这反映出此类节目对参与者造成的长期伤害。
EZ Ryan Seacrest: The show Jury Duty, while hilarious, raises serious ethical questions about the well-being of its unwitting participant, Ronald Gladden. His post-show emotional state highlights the potential risks of such programs. This contrasts sharply with the Japanese show 'Sweepstakes Life,' which took exploitation to a far more extreme level.
Kaitlin Moore: Nasubi's experience on 'Sweepstakes Life' was a 15-month ordeal of manipulation and deprivation. The producers exploited his ambition, placing him in a situation of extreme hardship and controlling his actions for entertainment value. This raises serious ethical concerns about the exploitation of individuals for entertainment purposes and reflects a distorted societal value system. The show's popularity highlights the complex relationship between viewers' voyeuristic tendencies and the producers' manipulative actions. While presented as a story of perseverance, it was, in essence, a cruel experiment on human nature. Nasubi's lasting psychological trauma underscores the long-term harm such programs can inflict.
