Did you watch the episode or just clips off youtube?

While that scene was horrendous. I believe the point of this scene was to show that they chose to be there but unaware of what elimination actually meant. When they discovered the true meaning they freaked. They had a set of very simple rules to follow and if followed they wouldn't have died. Literally all they had to do was keep a calm head and follow the rules. Not justifying the people being killed off but they are fictional characters in a fictional show.

The show is not great and very violent. A common plot seen throughout plenty of movies. You can get mad all you want about a tv show but it's a waste of time. Either you watch it or you dont. If you choose not to then leave it at that. People who talk about it daily and raving about it probably have nothing better to do with their time and still stuck in the matrix.

One thing this show does remind me of is the Shakespeare quote "temp not a desperate man" goes to show how far desperation will take an individual when tempted. Which I believe is a relevant point more than ever in today's society. Fear and desperation lead to compliance and/or immoral actions.
