It's all about being aspirational. It may make people buy tickets on Qantas, but I'm willing to bet the majority of people who do will not be buying anything but Y or maybe W fares.
The contestants probably had zero idea it was not the normal lounge that J pax would use, so they wouldn't be lying. The producers should know better, but i'm willing to bet QF didn't care that it wasn't corrected.
It's a little misleading, but the amount of people who would book a J seat and then not realise why the lounge was different would be in the very low numbers i'd say.
I had an interesting conversation with NP's side-kick at a QF lunch once about the Masterchef episode several years ago in the F lounge kitchen... let's say that what was shown on TV was in no way anywhere near how the day actually ran (including stopping filming to bring the actual chefs back in to catch up).
'Reality' TV (anyone seen UnREAL??) at its finest
