So sad. Had no idea :( Not very classy of the producers.

Sad reality TV plot twist of the night: Fans of the TLC reality show “Next Great Baker” got a major shock tonight when they found out that one of the contestants, Wesley Durden, an Army veteran, died. But it didn’t happen this week. In fact, he died way back in October, a victim of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The network apparently chose to wait until he had been eliminated from the show to break the news to viewers, creating a double-whammy effect. Twitter is in disbelief right now.

I saw this and I just…. I had no idea what to do. It makes me REALLY hate TLC and really question why Buddy would have let something like this happen. 

My heart goes out to this lovely gentleman and his family.
