The Jerry Springer Show, which it was based on wasn't harshly judgmental towards the guests apparently, and this was a later development of Kyle's own - according to one of the shows og producers on the radio yesterday.

It was a very 2000s sort of show, we have moved on to different sorts of cruelty and contempt now.
Cruelty and contempt never out of date. Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate.

Kyle is Lawful Evil surely?

he often plays at being lawful but it doesn't wash at all

Interesting that while most of the red-tops yesterday wanted us to feel Kyle's pain, including the Sun's "Dark past of 'victim'", the Mail has "Cruel Tricks of Torture TV, as revealed by Kyle Show's former staff"
