I just now sent an email stating that I did not want my mom or my pickle-in-her-butt sister at my house but if they wish to film them at their house that is okay.

There are some episodes that are humiliating but that is to be expected when you display the reality of squalor that you live in. The problem is my sister and mother are likely to say something about my personality or whatever they perceive as weakness and viewers would not know that their comments are not justified. ... If she were on the show she could slander me and possibly ruin my chances of returning to graduate school if she questioned my sanity on the show.
