Agree to disagree I guess. The glass game is where I really lost any sense of approval of the game's concept. Until the glass game, some degree of 'fairness' could be feigned, after that it was 100% out the window (pun intended).
Yeah, I'm with you on this. I think the bridge game was all spectacle and poor substance within the context of these games. As a means of drastically whittling down the remaining players, it was very effective. As a fair contest, it wasn't.

The sixth episode was the climax, it went downhill from there.

I'm not sure what the show was trying to do by introducing the VIPs, and the rape scenes were completely fucked up and added nothing good to the story.

The first six episodes are genuine masterpieces however.

How do you define unnecessary? Without it, we wouldn't truly hate the VIPs nor would the cop have had a viable escape route.
