If two drinks get you as drunk as 5 or 6 normally would, and you weren't informed, there is potentially some liability there.

Liable for what? The producers didn't force either party to engage in their conduct. How would you make a case that BIP assulted Corrine?

the producers on that show are definitely known to be pushing the strong drinks early in the day to get "drama".

I've heard of bartenders/bar owners being liable for serving an obvious drunk and letting him/her walk out the door with car keys (causing an accident)... but I've never heard of a third party (bartender/producer) being held responsible for letting someone get drunk and then having sex.

This could open up a whole new line of legal responsibility.... if A goes to a bar with friend (B) and sees that B is drunk and wants to go home with C... does A have a legal duty to stop B from sleeping with C if A knows that B would never sleep with C while sober?

Corinne says she does NOT hold DeMario responsible. OK... so then what is the basis for the producers being responsible? If Corinne is an adult (I believe she is by age), then why do the producers have any responsibility to stop her from doing anything with DeMario? She says she was too drunk to consent -- well, then isn't she saying DeMario took advantage of her impaired state? Yet, she isn't blaming DeMario... so if DeMario didn't assault her, then what were the producers supposed to stop?

I can see how producers/video operators would have a responsibility to stop a criminal act (whether that is rape or assault), but according to Corinne's own version, DeMario didn't do anything wrong. So, why do the producers have any obligation to stop an adult from doing something not illegal?

In order for the producers to have any responsibility to protect Corinne, doesn't there have to be someone identified as a perpetrator? Corinne says DeMario is not a wrong-doer.

Let's not forget Corinne kissed Nick Viall on the first night, rented a bounce house, and took her bathing suit top off on a photography shoot in a pool. Can you cry assault after you already chose to get drunk? And let's not forget DeMario tried to pretend he didn't have a girlfriend to Rachel. The show has gotten sleazier, and the producers know what gets ratings, but it sounds like one producer felt a line was crossed. I'd like to see a whole new cast, no alcohol and no tropical location, and see if they can hook up sober. The show used to be about finding love. Now it's about finding sleazy people to do shocking things for ratings.

She's playing with a guy's life here! Good thing there's video footage to clear things up! Most of us have had to learn at some point that we can't blame our bad choices on alcohol (or even worse, use alcohol as an excuse to blame someone else).

I don't get how this is being played out. TMZ says that she now claims she was assulted (after other people told her what she did). But she doesn't blame DeMario. She blames production. But production didn't make her take her clothes off and climb on the guy. How is it that the show assulted her?

I can see that. With all the alcohol flowing, it was sort of the foxes guarding the hen house. The only sober people around are the producers and camera folks. They should have stopped it. If it was bad enough for someone to view the footage and say to themselves, "WTAF" then why didn't the people filming it have the same presence of mind. Corinne said she was black out drunk and doesn't remember anything. Sounds like he was pretty close too. The show really screwed up. It's one thing for them to let stupid crap go and let people make fools of themselves; it's another thing to watch sexual boundaries being cross left and right and sit idly by.

The irony is, if Corinne was truly trying to get her own show, she's shown herself as way too much of a liability to ever have one.

+1. That bar is so low, and yet it still wasn't reached.

OMG! I just saw this on Yahoo! What in the world??

“We all feel used,” the contestant says. “We’re pissed off. People had planned their lives around this. Contestants quit their jobs for this. We all had to step away from our real lives for three weeks.”

I underlined some of the funnier comments.

(1) PEOPLE is mistaken. There is no prize money. Only a possible "engagement" at the end. PEOPLE seems to be thinking of Bachelor Pad.
(2) Seriously? Someone is saying he/she quit their job for a 3-week party in Mexico? WOW.

Lol NOW they feel used?? Uh, story of their lives.

I'm not surprised its probably cancelled. Its probably for the best.

Do you really think the pool scene would have made it to tv?

yes

Sounds like you're not familiar the FCC requirements for TV. No way that graphic oral scene would make it to tv. BIP isn't aired on Skinamax.
