I totally agree. The last episode as well as the follow up explore this a little, but glad that Ally and Grant are still friends.
Grant was trying to make good TV by creating fun challenges, and Ally was trying create good TV by trying to win. The producers could have stepped in and hinted at the nature of the challenges, or prompted them, scripted them or anything to make it safer, and they didn't.
I thought, as someone who really dislikes all reality TV, that the show was amazing, because it showed the kind of suffering reality TV tries to hide. There was a cash incentive to fucking over your friends, and that really stings.
I don't know if it was worth the suffering for Ally, Grant, or the CollegeHumour office, but the result was a spectacle with a great message.
