Controversy
Heidi and Spencer
Heidi and Spencer Pratt's behavior on the show was largely criticized by the media. The couple claimed they were subject to torture and left the show's set multiple times before returning and ultimately withdrawing.[7][8][9] TV Guide, in an article, referred to their antics as "reasons that television is going downhill" and also revealed they only spent 14 hours inside of the chamber and were given food and water the whole time they were in it.
It was reported on June 7, 2009 that Heidi, who was last seen with Spencer being told they have to sleep in the Lost Chamber; and later be told what their fate would be after the team had decided what their choice was in terms of them re-entering camp, was hospitalized due to a claimed gastric ulcer.[10]
