At least half of the HLs shows are montages giving particular viewpoints, it's more a propaganda show than anything. Well if that's what people like watching I guess.....
You're watching it, too?

I skip over some bits like the Neda/Jon showmance and the interview. Didn't even bother with the veto, HoH (which they show a pointless segment of) or votes, after all I know the result so why watch those bits? I was just interested to see if Adel really stirred things up, turns out it was probably all overhyped as usual.

To be honest, if you're reading things online/missing any good bits of live feed, you're best off trying to find a clip online - or using the Jokers website and using the flashback.

The edit for the show this year is AWFUL, in my opinion. They're lazy story tellers and seem to prefer the easy/predictable option. They tell the beginning and the end but leave out all of the middle. Heck, most of the time is spent on silly tasks that mean sod all over game talk. I don't know how anyone can follow it without live feed - I wouldn't know where anyone stands within the game without it!

Most episodes haven't been a true representation of what really happened on the live feed - and I know that's true for every series of Big Brother (whatever the country) due to the nature of the show - I just find it to be worse than ever with this series.

It's hard to piece together a story from everything though, also people interpret what they see (or are able to hear, not always easy) on the feed according to who they like.

It's the producer's job to give us an overall picture of the present situation, and not to give us HLs which are often made up of footage from ages ago. It's just plain laziness. I wonder if they even give the camera operators some breaks when they go into some of these blackouts on the feed at weekends, before evictions or anything else.

It can feel like it's just manpulating the viewers as well. This happens even more in the US version where they want people watching the advertising for with the main show while also paying a hefty price for the live feed as well. Keeping stuff apart from both so people fund them by having to watch both. But people can't watch all the feed anyway, even what is actually shown. But with this version the feed is free anyway, so why such crappy HLs?
