Extreme Lawsuit: Home Edition

Check this tidbit out from today's edition of Cynthia Turner's Cynopsis:
Another lawsuit naming ABC as a defendant was filed yesterday. This one stems from the re-building of a home for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Stay with me on this one ... Five siblings, ages 15-22, lose both parents in a very short period of time. A couple in the town who attend the same church, offered to have the children live with them, which they subsequently did. Enter ABC and EM: Home Edition. The show re-built the couple's home to accommodate all the new residents. Around the same time the show made it to the air, the five kids moved out, claiming the couple drove them from the house by treating them poorly, etc. Here's the part that seems to miss the mark - the five kids are suing ABC for break of contract and fraud, saying Extreme Makeover said they would build them a house, when in fact the house was built for the couple. Seems kind of thin. And I don't know if it helps that they kids are suing the couple as well.
