Title: TV producers don't tell reality show contestant her dad has died.
Post by: Scurvy Stan on May 25, 2007, 02:20:19 AM: Quote
A decision by the makers of Big Brother to not tell a contestant her father has died has been condemned as inhumane, unethical and psychologically damaging.

Contestant Emma's father Raymond Cornell died last week and his funeral was held on Monday in Adelaide, but the 24-year-old is still unaware of his death.

That is sad. Now I know why ozzies get a bad name.
These people (most Big Brother contestants) are the equivalent of white trash it does not suprise me that her family are so pig headed. Big Brother is just making use of these people's ignorance.

Who would sue? The family is the one who doesn't want her to find out.
