Opinion
RUBIN, J.
In this writ proceeding, five siblings who appeared in an episode of the television program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (Extreme Makeover) challenge an order compelling them to arbitrate most of their claims against various entities involved with the production and broadcast of the program. Petitioners claim the arbitration clause contained in a written agreement they executed before the program was broadcast is unconscionable. We agree. Accordingly, we grant the petition for writ of mandate.
