I think that there is a huge difference in choosing to talk about something like your stillborn baby or a family member dying of cancer and being made to look after a robot baby when your heart still aches for your own baby! I would have been upset about her talking about the loss of her baby, but the issue here isn't that she was talking about it, it is that she was asked to particpate in something that would be upsetting to her when they knew about her circumstances. Of course it was on purpose, they have to do these controversial things in order to get people to watch. The last couple of years they have been getting into trouble for plying housemates with alcohol and letting them 'turkey slap' eachother, so this year they promised to tone down the nudity. So you have to swap one type of hook for another to keep up the ratings.
I only just found this thread and found out through another thread in TV and Music.
I am appalled as to how they let this go to air. For ratings, yes I think so. Did they know what they were doing? Of course they did.
I mean they purposely put a couple into the house in which one of the girls was in a previous relationship. The producers then proceeded to get in contact with her ex b/f whom applied for series 2. So to me, that shows the mentality of the produces of this sick show.
If they are willing to mess with someones relationship to get ratings. Whats not to say they wouldn't do the same with Kate?
Yes, she told the producers she had "fully" recovered. I tell my close friends that I am from my early m/c. Thats not to say that I won't break down at any minute. Anything can trigger a break down. And for the producers of this show, who even though they thought she was "fully recovered" to go ahead with such a cruel task to get ratings is low and wrong.
They plugged this all week. They used it the advantages of the viewers. I remember hearing the preview "after Kate reveals her saddest secret, will it bring the feuding house closer together?" - to me that is trying to get ratings.
well said TamaraP. I couldn't have said it better. My daughter was stillborn exactly 6 months ago, and I feel like I have 'dealt' with the worst of it, but I still deal with it everyday and will for the rest of my life. Most days I am ok, but any little thing can make me sad. I cannot imagine how she must feel knowing that they tried to get her to do this task after knowing her circimstances. I thought the relationship triangle they did was bad enough, but this is just gross.
