It's a dream come true for everybody like myself that utterly, utterly hates reality television. Heidi Pratt had to be rushed to the hospital for being "tortured" on the reality television show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.First, who decided that Spencer and Heidi Pratt would be called "Speidi?" It sounds like the nickname for Spider-Man, only misspelled. Most likely it's the working of a really bad publicist who wants them to be the next "Brangelina" or "Bennifer" or something like that.
Second, given the problems the couple has already had with NBC regarding this show (like quitting and then coming back), this sounds like a ploy to not actually do anything while collecting a paycheck (something they got ample practice with in The Hills).
I would also like to add that it's probably even worse torture for the viewer to simply watch them on television than anything NBC put Heidi through.

This is an example of the idiots in the media using the word "torture" to describe any uncomfortable treatment. Torture is evil. Jumper cables on the nipples, cutting off body parts, shocking the genitals, those are torture. Don't demean the true victims of this horror by saying this stupidity is "torture"!

We're the ones being tortured every time someone else thinks they're newsworthy for ANY reason.

I agree with the article writer. Torture is the thought that these two are paid to do anything other than flip burgers. I didn't have a clue who these two were when all the drama hit in Costa Rica. I tuned into their own show to see what all the fuss was about with these two. After five minutes all I could think of was why anyone would want to sit around and watch a bunch of rich, spoiled kids, act (and I use that term loosly) ebarrassingly pathetic in front of a camera. Seriously? People watch this program? Now, all of this pales in comparison by the Playboy spread for Ms. Montag, while surely she continues to extoll her God-fearing, Christianity. Excuse me...I think I'm going to be ill.
