Who's in?

The drama around here bears no relation to what it is everyone is watching.

Its not reality, its very heavily edited to match up to a very tight script ,and we dont have a single clue what any person who has been in the house is actually like.

    Agreed. Perhaps we should discuss the script writing and plot development instead.

    What would the difference be if we 'stopped treating BB as reality'? You need to define your parameters and outcomes.

    Correct, this was confirmed on BBOTS last night when they showed a clip of them all sitting around writing the script and making up the tweets.

    people are projecting character traits onto these people and thus the pandamonium we see in the forum in general.

    We dont pretend Ian beale is real, we shouldnt with what we are presented.

    Now, there are real people in the house, I'm not suggesting anything else, but what we see are carefully scripted characters, the show is cut to ribbons to edit footage into a given storyboard, its obvious during every highlight show, the likelyhood of any of the fairly one dimensional projections we see on the screen bearing any resemblance to the actual people involved is low.

    To me, you see, I read people screaming blue murder that there was this missed out or they didnt show that properly one minute, so its not like they are unaware they are not seeing anything remotley like actual events, and next arguing that this person wouldnt behave in such a way, or that person is 'evil' , a 'tramp' or whatever other epithet is the latest to be thrown around. Vile being the popular peoples phrase(or perhaps the peoples popular phrase, depending on your point of view).

    Now we have demands for lawsuits and all sorts.

    It would be like calling for law suits because David Brent was ridiculed on some other tv show.

    Agreed.

    As I've said before, if they can make Carole and Dave The Vicar look entertaining, they can do anything.

    Agree, I dont know why they didnt do the pay to view on the internet, then the real fans could have watched if they wanted.

    exactly, which is why I've not bothered to watch much of BB this year, but find these forums such fun anyway.:D

    I agree. This is not the Big Brother I know and love, it's just a reality show that happens to be set in a house.

    There's more drama on this forum than in the house this year:D

    Chillax!
