I think all the negative feedback about the guys incl Olu (who was apologetic) are undeserved. They all had the good intentions to place themselves someone else’s shoes and endure the tribulations we as a nation place on these good people because of our excessive greed. I thought all the guys (Josh, Manos, James, Lauren and Jess) were just as sincere as Stacey, otherwise they would not have partaken in the show in the first place.

Just watched this programme for the second time after watching it on BBC3. Stacey is presented as a beacon of light but all credit is due to her for her kindness in a reunion of a Thailand chicken factory worker with her son. It was emotional to see and I wish there were more people like her. I felt sorry for Manos how he was clearly struggling and not belonging to the group because of his accent and Bangladeshi origins. I come from Asia and have always struggled with this subtle form of discrimination, which people will not openly express, but it still there. I really hope this programme brings social awareness of impoverished societies in around S.E.Asia to most of the UK’s public, but sadly I very much doubt it!

a donkey put infront of a television screen watching this program could easily tell the makers of this program is indirectly or directly (whether admitted or not) A RACIST..

of all the people to get, they get 3 white girls with reasonably strong ethics, 2 bigger white boys, and one small childish south asian boy… later they get a blackman, who obviously has something against south asian people, to attack manos for absolutly no reason.

Manos is consistently being critizised and its obvious they stir it up against him, its pure racism. his consistantly bombarded with people comparing him to everyone else.

pure sneaky, weasel-like under-handed racism… which has been the same since … well for ever in britain.

James was my fave, thought he was great because didn’t look down at anyone and always worked really hard. My mum is from a small village in Thailand so i have experienced really bad living conditions like these and i think they were all really brave to do it. I’m glad Stacey had a go at that american man because he was completely out of order! Good on her for writing an article on it, its about time someone did!! xxx
