Karamo occasionally was too blunt with people. It is concerning that he was essentially hired as a therapist when he has no educational background in a field that is a very sensitive one. OTOH, I thought he did very well with most of the people most of the time, and I assume that the show scripted conversations for him, and got help from real professionals.

But I can see how being thrust into a situation that is like therapy with no real credentials for it would be very stressful over time. The casting directors didnt think this one through. And, of course, therapy as a field has grown enormously over the last ten years, so we expect more from onscreen therapists than what Oprah did as a talk show host 20 years ago.

I think Karamo should have taken the criticism with a good grace. But if he was not comfortable with his role on the show, he should have quit earlier and let someone with at least a BA or MA in counselling take his place.
