I do find this very bitterly upsetting. I think it's a case of monumental stupidity on her part and blithe misconduct (or even misinformation) on the part of the station. In the case of stupidity, it's not that she should have known--it just doesn't intuitively make sense, I guess, that drinking too much water can kill you. But this is knowledge that should have been available, I feel, and certainly those responsible for the contest should have made the participants aware of the risks.
Some of the upset I deal with by humor, but really this just shouldn't have happened.
