All the time in here I see people saying stuff about housemates that we can't possibly know.
Ashleigh is never fun.
Helen never mentions her kid.
Chris never says it to peoples face.
Etc etc.
how do we know ?
We only see a tiny bit of each day. There is no live.

Indeed. Any reference to friends or family or outside people is automatically cut.
The editors produce a few minutes per day of twenty four hours of each HM's experience and some days some HMs get no air time at all.
People might also remember that all we see of the HMs, and every opinion we make of them in the house, is solely down to what BB choose to show us (ie, the edit). Given the people many here think are getting a bad edit are the two faves on here, I have to ask how on earth they think is has happened if they are getting bad edits? Are people supporting them because they think they're getting a bad edit, or are they supporting them because they like what they've seen (what BB have let them see), thus disproving the bad edit thesis?
they watch with "different eyes" and project with "loaded norms"
its interesting how many are "seeing" how structured it always has been for the first time though - which shouldn't take anything from the entertainment of the show, but when they are exposed to the "tricks" mechanics they no longer understand the real bit everyone has been subconsciously watching... which is still there for those that can see it.
The only thing that bugs me is when they moan that they have been shown in a bad light, well if they didn't argue, moan, bitch, complain, get drunk, swear loads etc, then BB can not show these clips of you doing it. BB can only edit what you have done and are doing.
Nothing apart from live feed can come anywhere near to "blow by blow" reporting. They too are edited and carefully selected.
It can also leave a lot out.
Very true. In fact the left out stuff is much bigger.
Imagine if my day was edited into a few minutes. Today so far I have been happy, grumpy, played with the kids, told off the kids, been out and stayed in, been polite to an old lady and used bad language at a car driver. How would my edit go. They could choose to show only my bad bits or only my good bits. Then someone could form an opinion on me with only a tiny part of my day.
I know, thats why I started with, I agree there will be things that are never shown.
Which means exactly what you replied with
We know it is edited, we know it is cut, manipulated into what BB wants, we know it is 24 hours reduced to one, we know we don't see everything
WE KNOW
WE KNOW
Why don't you get it that we already know?
just gotta be careful when watching it, and remember its edited.
So, what do you conclude then, that all our opinions of all the HMs are potentially misleading ones? If so, then, from looking at the faves polls, we have to accept that it's been Helen and Steven who've been getting the worst edits, whilst Chris and Ashleigh have been getting the best ones.
Don t click on it then
It's because people on here use this to defend ttheir favourites who may be coming across badly i.s Helen or Kimberly. WHAT WE SEE IS ACTUALLY WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING!!! Kim has been having sex, Danielle has been moaning about the swearing then swearing herslef, Helen has been rolling around under the covers with Ash without a thought for her child. Seriously!
And, given the faves, by far, on here are Chris and Ashleigh, it would be fair to assume there's more of them indulging in this 'bad edit' excuse whenever their fave is shown behaving poorly. That idea is also borne out from reading this forum.
I'm not trying to defend anybody. I'm saying its silly to say a housemate never does something if we don't know.
I'm off.
Now that's strange because others see it totally differently.
Although someone screaming " you utter F ing knob " in someone's face can mean they are misunderstood nice people to some on here.
Firstly i dont have a favourite. I don't really dislike any of them either. I have no hidden agenda. Any names i use are simply for the sake of example.
ok. We all form opinions on what we see in the edited show. Most choose a favourite based on the edited show. The stuff we are shown is real. BUT. I feel its not fair to accuse any housemate of anything that we have NOT seen. For example "Helen never mentions her kid" we dont know that. Or "Chris never says it to their face" he might have but we didnt see it. I believe the editors do their best to fit a lot into a short show.
So if you think Helen is a gobby cow then fine because youve seen that. If you think Ashleigh is a bitchy girl, then fine because youve seen that. But we shouldnt say stuff we dont know is true.
Hear hear.....so very true. All I ever try to figure out is what BB/Channel5 want it to look like. They have their own agenda.
There are other outlets for info, you know
Much information has been on here from other sources and I learn a lot more than just watching the programme.
Why not stop teaching granny to suck eggs, we can make our own decisions based on things which we find out on many websites, not just BB.
