One consideration is that when a bar continues to serve alcohol to someone who is clearly drunk, and does nothing to make sure they aren’t driving, if that person does drive and gets an accident, the bar can be held liable. I don’t think that is too different from what happened here - the show provided them with…

The operative word here is “contestants” - the show created this environment. If the producers are witnessing a crime being committed, especially one they helped perpetrate because they supplied the seemingly unlimited alcohol, then yeah, they have a responsibility to stop it. I mean, do you have any doubt that they…

And what if no one was there? What if these were two people, at the pool, who got shit faced on wine coolers and had sex and neither of them were in control (asking from a bit of experience)?

This is an excellent catch and I’m sad I didn’t catch it first. There is a big difference between too drunk to have sex and too drunk to consent.

I like this tip because you also get cookies.

even dicier when you consider the report that the producers told both of them that them getting together would be a “plot line of the season.” So what you have is:

You seem to be jumping way too quickly to the “what about the men” argument. The article says misconduct occurred that both contestants engaged in. It even specifies that no one has been named as a victim. And articles are saying that Corinne is getting lawyers to deal with production, not DeMario, which would…

No, because reality shows aren’t documentaries. While documentary filmmakers try to avoid influencing the events they are recording, reality shows are somewhat scripted and events are actively influenced by the producers to increase entertainment value.

I’d think the main ussue would be the over serving, if anything

Producers who are sober and hopefully responsible for the contestants’ well-being? Maybe? I’m just assuming, I have no idea what kind of contract is signed to take part in this shit show.

Add in the fact that the producers effectively provided the alcohol, and it gets even dicier for the production company.

That’s probably the whole crux of this thing. If they were just two drunks in a pool, it’s just another weekend in Acapulco. The fact that they were two drunks in a pool on a tv show and that they kept filming is a big liability for the production company.

Donald is fucking broke, %100, but don’t forget the rest of the family. Little Kushy Jared has that $1.8 billion hole in the ground called “666 Fifth Avenue.” The dipshit paid that still-record-holding amount of money for the property in late 2007, juuuuust before the worldwide economic collapse. Everyone laughed at…

I know! The nice thing about the Special prosecutor is that they can subpoena his tax returns. I am chilling a bottle of Sauterne for this very occasion!

You know, there’s no downside to this story! Either he has to stay here, which is annoying for us, but will also irritate him, and make him feel stressed and accelerate his upcoming stroke. Or, he’ll go to Great Britain, and encounter thousands upon thousands of people flipping him the bird and holding up rude and…

UK-dwellers are fantastic at protesting. Primarily because it combines their two greatest enthusiasms: queueing and complaining.

This is my goal in life. To push him and push him until he snaps like a dry twig.

And God bless her.

If we hurt his feelings enough, will he cancel his US visit?
