Norris called the popular show a "drink-sodden programme" that encouraged the shows stars to "behave licentiously and compete to bring people home to bed them".
Norris expressed his concerns for the participants future saying, "what will happen to those people whose images are permanently on film when they want to get married 10 or 20 years from now? What will their children think when their images turn up?".
TV3 released a statement defending the show, which has attracted an average audience of 330,000 over the past two months. "It may be very different to when David Norris was young but it is a slice of reality of what goes on today," announced a spokeswoman from TV3.
The spokeswoman also said that the shows participants were responsible for their own behavior and that they were not forced or encouraged to do anything against their will.
The final episode will be aired tonight on TV3 at 10pm.
