REALITY SHOW COUPLE WINS HOUSE, OWNER WON’T GIVE IT UP

A UK couple competed on a reality TV show to win an Alaskan lodge. But now that they’ve won it, the old owner won’t move out. Emily Padfield, 37, and Mark Warner, 53, competed against five other couples for a chance to win Ose Mountain, a homestead roughly 80 miles northwest of Mount Denali, on the BBC show “Win the Wilderness” that aired in February. Over the course of the four-week challenge, they competed in challenges, eating bear meat stew and plunging into freezing water. At the end, the couple were chosen by its owners, Duane and Rena Ose, to take over the three-story home without running water. But then Rena Ose, 76, died in May after a heart operation and the next month, her 78-year-old widower began a new relationship with a woman named Ellie-Mae Blair. Since then, he stopped answering their calls and decided he was keeping the house even though the couple are now the legal owners. They believe Ellie-Mae is behind the decision not to move out.
* Good deduction, Sherlock.
* The guy is 78 with a new wife. You won’t have to wait very long to take possession.
* Maybe they can lure him out of the house with a trail of Viagra pills.
* Meanwhile, Emily and Mark have entered a new competition, “Win the Brooklyn Bridge.”
