"Torture" Chamber

Stephanie Pratt told media that Heidi was "virtually on her deathbed. She's never been sicker in her life. I can't believe NBC did that. They are just in the black rooms with no food or water and freakin' spiders biting them." But a show insider contradicts Stephanie's claims. "The accusation that the couple was harmed in any way is completely false. The room was not filled with critters and they were protected from the elements, unlike the other contestants, who endured some strong thunderstorms. When they came out, they were in good spirits ... No one at any point was held against their will. Everyone who is there wants to be there." The picture here is the "Lost Chamber" where Heidi and Spencer spent 14 hours from 4:30 p.m. Thursday to 6:30 a.m. Friday and not 72 hours like Stephanie claimed. Another insider tells PEOPLE that Stephanie Pratt is exaggerating about the "torture." "There was no torture. Heidi and Spencer were covered with a ceiling and walls while their castmates have been through thunderstorms every night," the source says. "They were not stuck in there for days. Stephanie is talking like they were locked up like prisoners at Guantanamo Bay." NBC has no comment. Looks like Stephanie is trying to be the Celebrity in this situation. Too bad they picked Holly as Heidi's replacement, sorry Steph!
