If you really think about it they could have a legitimate complaint in the context of a for-money contest or in the sense of 'gambling' implications etc.

The other observation made (and I think this explains it) but this is the kind of stunt that works once.
Ife's secret conversation is loudly broadcast and JJ becomes outrages,
but,
After that Ife learns she better not say anything controversial.
JJ realizes that the next time it will be 'evened out' by having some of HIS private convos repeated to everyone.
Now everyone else realizes that they too better not say any kind of controversial comments or THEY will be the next ones getting it repeated!

So you see - the thing really is a clever idea but it can't work in BB.
