Since 2004, this trend also happen to those who participated in the reality show is not as famous as The Bachelor, such as Storage Wars series.

However, the show The Bachelor had also lost three people who took his own life.

This raises the question of people who are attracted to the reality show, along with the screening process and the support given to them after the event.

Dr. Richard Levak, an expert on personality in California ever to accompany a course of a reality show. He said the debate related to an increase in suicides as well as the question, 'who came out first, the chicken or the egg ?.'

"What appeared in the reality show continuing interest unstable? Are people more interested unstable? Or whether kebringasan reality show makes people think of suicide? "He asked.

Two weeks ago, Alexa "Lex" McAllister (31) of The Bachelor Season 14, became the latest casualty. Gia Allemand, from the same impression, died in 2013. Meanwhile, three years earlier, Julien Hug (35), participants Bachelorette 2009, also took his own life.

Even small players like Russell Armstrong, the husband of Taylor Armstrong- star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills- suicide in 2011 after financial problems and her marriage was broadcast via Bravo.

Before he died, he had lamented to RumorFix related pressure to appear on a TV show.

the burden of fame

Jesse Csincsak, the winner of The Bachelorette season 4, told the New York Post that tekananan and struggle after appearing on television can encourage a person to the limits of endurance.

 "According to me, they did not know what they will face when enrolling," he said.

According to him, one of the biggest problems is when it should be the center of attention without preparation, to face the noise, the hatred, and the exposure could then claimed the life of a person.

"After eight episodes, there are 50 million people who watch them. No matter where they go - it's either just walk around or through the Facebook-people will judge them, "she continued.

Eliza Orlins, a star in the Survivor for two seasons, recalls when he was reluctant to socialize with the virtual world after first appearing in 2004, because getting blasphemy and insults are widespread.

"Participants not selected properly. Most do not know how to handle life after the show, "said a woman who has now become a lawyer in Manhattan.

Lisa Ganz, an owner of a casting company in Manhattan, explaining that the process of selection of a reality show begins with the selection of directors. They are assigned to ensure that potential participants are emotionally stable.

After approval, their background and then examined in detail. Such as examination of sexually transmitted diseases when participating in shows like The Bachelor.

After all, the participants will also be tested psychological in writing and face-to-face.

In the examination issued by Csincsak, no more than 1200 questions psychology. The question was like 'Are you feeling sad?' or 'Have you ever thought of killing your mother?'

However, he said
the question was not to examine the stability of emsoi, but to make the event more exciting.

 "If you say fear of snakes, they will take you to the zoo. If you're scared of heights, they will force you to jump off a cliff. "

"Now they have gone so far as to ask for the phone number of your closest friend or ex-girlfriend. They want to know bad things about someone in order to make up a story about one of the participants. "

Ratings and money

On the other hand, claimed Levak no appeal to graze to the violence through a glass screen.

"In general, producers want people who in my opinion do not match. Surely they are the most interesting. "

But, Levak continue, nothing is perfect, especially when people are willing to sacrifice their health for the sake of fame.

As Kathy Sleckman applying for Survivor Season 9 in 2004. He underwent interviews and background checks for 10 consecutive days in Los Angeles, even while quarantined.

"I could not see the other candidates. Eating was my own, "said Sleckman.

At that time he was not elected but was called again three years later for the season to 16. This time, he had to be in Los Angeles for two days. Apparently, the woman had become depressed mothers after giving birth (post partum), makes taking a sedative called Zoloft.

Later known, Sleckman, checks independently doctor that mental illness was traced.

 "I hid it. He was elected and leaving the drug Zoloft when it went to Palau to participate in Survivor: Micronesia, "he said.

 "I think they would search my suitcase," he said. He was haunted by thoughts related families that are unclear, such as errant husband, or her daughter will hate it.

Not wanting to give up, on day 19 the woman cut her little finger tip to get a break from the event.

He even asked overlooking one of the producers and shipped away from the site, and then given a number of Zoloft for emergency and see a therapist assistant, Dr. Liza Siegel.

He was discharged four days later. The audience only knew that he was out of view.

"No friends or relatives. I was starving and exposed out there. As the worst situation that can be experienced when you run out of medicine. "

Suicide is screwed up

Meanwhile, a producer who requested anonymity for reasons of professionalism, said the threat of suicide can mess up the whole season through.

"We have a responsibility to connect them with a therapist and do recordings until they are emotionally unstable.

"He also added that the arrangement of a story that requires a lot of self-recognition one can trigger deep problems.

Some of those who lost loved ones, Patricia Hansen who was the mother of Joseph Cerniglia, do not blame the event.

The mother said, "Look, the restaurant business it's hard to live. We have fun just with Kicthen Nightmares. Fun. Gordon was terrific. "

On the other hand, Csincsak found nearly all people experience the kind of turmoil after involvement in the event. He said, "No matter what is depicted on you ... you could say you are designed to fail in the middle of the road."

He continued, "After pacing like a king using a private helicopter to private islands, you get away from the impression and returned to work at (supermarket) Target or a barman, suddenly you feel depressed. Yes, it is inevitable. "

According to Csincsak, network television stations need to do an evaluation of the participants who was sacked and not just entertain and bring them sobbing.

"Maybe they should put the participants at the hotel for 48 hours to release the load with a therapist in order to allow their brain to process them all."

Dr. Levak expressed concern that this type of genre continues to attract more participants to more impressions so that "the election process can be neglected."

Csincsak said, "I assure you that there are people who have lived almost bored at the show and they watched Lex and Gia, and thought, 'Oh, their pain is over. I can do it, too.'"
