Pres. Hinckley specifically asked our members not to join this type of reality shows, I just do not understand why they continue doing so even though it affects them.

| Rebecca's mother, Rosemary Dent, has spoken exclusively to The Sunday Mail about her concerns for her daughter, who is finding it hard to bond with housemates.

Besides the fact that she's put herself in a position to be ridiculed, and her family upset at her situation, she's watched the show enough (according to her mother) to know that everyone who goes on these shows *drinks alcohol*. I don't know why she's so surprised to find herself ostracized for not joining in.
Do we not see how far the world has gone, that one person in a group of 20 or so not drinking is immediately an outcast? It's sad.
Personally, I think instead of being dejected and sad over the rejection of her "housemates" she should stand up and show how ridiculous the rest of them are for getting drunk and stupid.
