Oh man, I remember reading about challenge day years ago. I think I saw some special on it, and several of the high school kids said, quite insightfully I might add, that this shit doesn't do anything because everything returns to status quo the next day. Not only that, the bullied kids are picked on even worse, because they made themselves even more vulnerable during challenge day.
This is exactly how it was in the program. Kids who made themselves vulnerable were bullied by the kids who came in there with a tough attitude. (My peer group was a perfect example of this. There were several big-time assholes who were allowed to remain so throughout the entire program, with little static.)
Oh yeah, and guess how I found out about this? Someone pointed it out to me, from the fucking Oprah show.
Fuck, I hate Oprah. She is one of the stupidest, most naive TV personalities out there when it comes to Where It's Really At.
What a mongoloid cunt.
