In reality shows though,people do continue on them even when a death in the family has occurred, as I said last year with Tom on BB and also acts on the X Factor have too.I just think BB should not have really said anything, not only to spare Scotts feelings on the matter but also his family's too.
Death in the family is and should be a private matter for the family to decide how they all cope with it and what they individually or together do as to coping with the inevitable grief from it.

BB is different to Xfactor though in that the premise is you dont know how the public feel about you or what is being shown....so he has already been out to get the news...hes gone back in...okay...but if he goes back out for the funeral...he will have an edge over other HMs...so the playing field is far from level....after what happened with Tom last year which obviously couldnt have been foreseen, the Producers should have put a clause in place to say if there is a family problem and you have to leave, then thats it you have to leave end of.
