Reality TV suing contestants

Producers of a never aired reality television show are now suing contestants who appeared in the programme for revealing secrets from the show.

Producers for the Ultimate Women's Challenge show have filed a complaint about contestants claiming that they have “destroyed the commercial value” of the series by speaking about what went on before it was aired on television.

According to Reuters, Sean Morrison financed the programme and since the leaks in information from contestants have been revealed he has lost $600,00 which had borrowed to finance the making of the programme.

While the producers are claiming that they have been left out of pocket by the reality series, so too are some of the contestants who say that they have failed to be paid for their part in the filming.

It is alleged that each of the seven female contestants were promised $100 per day for their part in the reality series while the winner would walk away with a grand prize of $50,000 in cash.

According to reports this money has never materialised has the women have launched their own complaint against the producers of the Ultimate Women's Challenge. When the women filed their complaint last month they revealed the name of the winner who had not received her money and it is this that the producers claim have ruined the possibility of now airing the programme as the audience already knows the outcome.

However the legal wranglings do not stop there and the producers are now even taking the lawyers to court too.

The producers claim that in revealing the name of the winning women the law firm acted inappropriately.

A statement said: The firm had a duty to maintain confidentiality...and should have filed the LHP Lawsuit without disclosing the results of individual matches.”
