Of course survival and well being are important and paramount. And even my Good Dom Kane is not the perfect guy. The problem is that I wouldn't want (at least on the GoodDom route) to sacrifice my relationship with Olivia. I don't care much about the contestants on the show, they've chosen their own path. (if I can, I'll help, but if not, well, then it's not fate).
As for the show, it's a bit of a different category (don't like and/or dislike), but simple calculation and my gamer mercantilism.
We all know that the show will be the main content of part 1 of ep8, so by depriving Kane (GoodDom) of participating in it, I'm depriving myself (in all likelihood) of most of the game content. Yeah, I too hope the game show decisions are not trivialized, I'm just wondering if it provides room for a motivated GoodDom Kane who is aiming for at least K10 and at most Z1.
I did the exact same thing in all my good dom routes. It wasn't until the very end of ep7 that I agreed to her offer, for the reason described above. I don't think you're wrong, and this is 100% what will happen, especially since this behavior of GoodDom Kane fits well within their shared moral compass with good Olivia. So it's likely to be a relatively easy walk if Kane sticks to the right moral decisions, skillfully develops a relationship with Olivia, and
competently manages Wpod2 while off the game show.
The other thing is that one wants some sort of extra challenge (and it's not even about mercantilism and wanting to see more content (I have EvilDom Kane for that)), and I'd rather the good Kane be given the opportunity to prove himself on the show, even if it's a much more difficult and thorny path than without him. At the very least, this show looks like a real challenge to good Kane and Olivia's moral values. I will hope that Tess has envisioned that scenario as well.
