I'm sure many of you will have seen these but after all the talk of good and bad edits
for people they make for interesting reading/viewing nonetheless.

This article is by someone who appeared on a reality show (not BB but not too dissimilar)

This is the classic Charlie Brooker bit with a BB type segment from 1:30 onwards.

While much of this is obvious really, it does make you wonder what we are actually watching.

Even so, I will still keep watching as I can't stop.

I remember that show.

Bumping because the links are so relevant to this series.

Yes, they're relvant to every series of BB.

I remember in BB5 after fight night there was some live feed in the morning, and I remember Jason asking Marco if he had to sign a clause like him to act a certain way some of the time.
I also remember Mary talking to other housemates telling them that the producers made her wear a witches outfit. I assume from this that all the contestants were made to wear what they wore on Launch night.

Dean from BB2 used to post on here now and again, and wrote a book, He spoke of several examples which made very interesting reading.

I know that you know a lot of this stuff but it is still revealing in general.

Dean's book... Have you read it? And did you enjoy the experience?
If yes... do you have a link?

Do you Alrightmate, or any others have more bits of info about
what has happened 'behind the scenes'?

I haven't read his book no.
But he posted occasionally on the forum and would mention scenes which we thought we saw, but in reality weren't quite how they actually happened.

Not with me right now, no.
But I'll come back to this thread if I find anything in a forum search. It was a long time ago mind, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to find much.

There was mention after fight night that Nadia actually struck someone, Jason I think. But that was certainly never shown on the HL show.

Cool, let's it get it all out in the open.

I'm intrigued...

I've read Deans book and would thoroughly recommend it. He talks a lot about editing and how shocked the HMs were that really big things that happened never made the HL show. One thing he mentioned was a tennis tournament that went on every day for several weeks but was ignored
