rewarding bad behavior

 Just wondering if anyone else is thinking that Dr Phil is SO wrong in rewarding bad behavior with glamorous trips and/or debt relief?  Like the combined families who were trying to live in too small quarters;  what does he do?   Give them a trip and build them a house.  Does that not tell people to go ahead and do whatever without  thinking of the consequences, and someone will come along and bail them out.  (whether it be Dr Phil, the neighborhood church, or the tax payers?)
Where are the rewards for couples who are doing it right?  Paying their bills - raising their kids-taking care of their parents?
The idea of offering them counseling or help is good.  But extravagant rewards are wasted on the (ignorent) ones who get THEMSELVES into messes.
What do you think?
