Just completely over the top.

There probably is one of those "APPLAUSE" signs on the top of the set and a cheerleader type from the production crew to get the audience going.

...and the candidate's friends and family are usually there...

Occasionally some of them get booed though - didn't Katie?

But no doubt people who have seen the show will think that they have at various times done things to get them disliked, throughout the whole process, so when they appear on the show, they can't then suddenly be as popular as the cheering suggests. I'm not asking for a round of boos as people enter the studio, (and I agree most of the crowd in Big Brother would boo themselves.)

A bit of encouragement doesn't hurt would you want the audience to be dead silent?

It doesn't have to be one extreme or the other, but to me being cheered means you have done something extremely well etc, and should only really be reserved for a special occasion. I wouldn't cheer my niece for everything she does, only for something she does well, so she gets that if I am cheering her, it was for something special etc.

I hope I'm trying to get across the point here. For example football fans cheer for a goal for their team, but not for every pass completed.

No, however a string of passes will generate a mock hoorah, so technically it can be for every pass completed in a passage of play.

I don't see the problem in it at all, otherwise what is the point of the audience being there if you take that away from them?

Natasha will get cheered as well, they all do I like that

Usually only if the team are winning by several goals, and near the end of the match though. So I'd liken it to the winner being cheered in The Apprentice - You're Fired, and not the person finishing 6th.

They used to boo people. I remember Kevin back in series 4 getting booed. However, the following week Jenny Celerier got cheered, so I imagine they'd been told not to boo (it's impossible that they could have liked her).
