And could ask them anything.
What would you ask?

Mine would be...


Why don't you give us the eviction voting percentages anymore?
They gave them for BB13, so why not all the other series.
If anything it seems to me, like the votes are not counted, and the producers decide who goes.

Why have you cancelled live feed?

They haven't given a reason. I can't think of one reason why not to have live feed.

Why did you do nothing during CBB5 Shilpagate, and watch Big Brother die, only to remove a decent housemate in BB8 (Emily), for using a word, which in context was nowhere near as derogatory as what took place, six months earlier?

What were you thinking with the quadruple eviction in BB11?




Sorry, I'm just curious.

I don't think they knew he was going to be a bore, until he eventually entered.

The producers choose people who's auditions and VT's seem interesting.

He obviously lied.

How do you sleep at night?

Seriously..

Did you actually watch Big Brother when it was on Channel 4? and why have you turned it into a TOWIE clone

Live Feed is an essential part of the show, why did you really get rid of it? and do you not agree that we don't get to see enough coverage?

Do you think you are doing a good job? Because we don't and if it was up to us you would never work in Television ever again

Do you expect to be in employment after BB is over?

What happened the 8 live show feeds planned for this series ?

Did you welch on Ashleigh's immunity just to make more money from votes?

Why was Armageddon such a damp squib?

Why do you have vote to save for CBB (that mostly keeps the main protagonists in) but revert to vote to evict for regular BB (that mostly gets the main protagonists out)?

Also, why not randomly throw in a lion every now and then, to stir shit up?

I don't think my last question would go down well but he needs to see this thread (along with many others).

That ghastly show (Stand By Your Man) has replaced live feed.

According to TV Listings, there are three more episodes left of Stand By Your Man.
As Stand by Your Man airs on Fridays, after evictions.
It means that Stand by Your Man will end on 15th August, presumably the launch of CBB.

I don't think we'll be getting those eight hours.

Although, I think we might get the remaining hours for CBB.

I guess it got moved to 11.30 because nobody's watching it? Don't understand why we've lost live feed as it doesn't even appear in the top 30 programmes for Channel 5 in the last 4 or 5 weeks that I checked

Why did you insist on the pass to the final? It goes against everything!

Why did you get us all excited about Armageddon and lead us to believe it'd be something we'd never seen before? When in actual fact we'd seen it all before!

Are you familiar with the concept of Big Brother?

Can we please have an updated version of BB rules?

Why hasn't Helen been ejected from the house?

Why do you mess so much with the nomination process?

Why do you allow viewers perception of only certain housemates to be revealed?

Why is it that for six weeks housemates have been allowed to talk about nominations, but suddenly one housemate was pulled up on it?

Have you considered altering the selection process?

People still moaning on and on about live feed, Jesus.

I think it's obvious why there's no live feed. We get to see 45 minutes a night of highlights and people complain and moan about every little thing and scream "remove him now, he's a bully" at even the slightest insult. If we were given live feed it would be even worse! It would be more trouble than it's worth for Channel 5. During the Channel 4 days we used to see a lot worse stuff and although people were very shocked, there wasn't such a fuss kicked up as there is these days. It's gone beyond ridiculous. I recently watched a 20 minute clip from BB6 and housemates were having an argument...if that argument had taken place today people would would have been up in arms...there were so many things during the clip that people today would find offensive. It's gone beyond ridiculous how easily people are offended, but that's the reason I believe we have no live feed. It would be hell for then to regulate...they'd have to block out pretty much everything as people are offended over so much!

I can answer your questions dear boy and I ain't a producer:

1) Honestly don't know the answer to the voting figures. Channel 5 are tossers.

2) Big Brother is a social experiment. A reality TV programme and there's the crux REALITY. This sort of thing happens in reality and most people jumped on the ol' bandwagon like most TV programmes without realising rightly or wrongly that Big Brother holds a mirror up to society. It exists, always will get over it. In a nut shell if you watch Big Brother you have zero right to be offended. To delude oneself that these people don't exists is like saying we love Channel 5.

3) LIVE FEED, you don't have it because it is scripted and rehearsed. This is why you no longer have a "sweaty box" (you can see what is happening behind someone when being interviewed) and why no one goes in the camera run on BOTS (last year when the producer was caught "just helping". Money never had nothing to do with it but Channel 5 didn't want to admit that they were scripting it, they wanted it to appear as if it just happened. How can it with live feed?

4) Desperate times call for desperate measures. Look back through the History of Big Brother and I don't mind admitting I am a bit of Bruv officando, the best ones had some but not tons of producer interference.

Nothing to do with it. Controversy creates cash in any industry, if it makes money, Channel 5 would do it. You don't honestly think that Channel 5 or any channel for that matter are scared of Ofcom? Take it from me they're not
You don't have it because of scripting. Nothing more. Most of the tasks rehearsed and told where to be/stand. It really is that simple.

i can answer these for you.

Why don't you give us the eviction voting percentages anymore?
Because we at Channel 5 are ignorant, we pride ourselves on being ignorant, how dare you even think to ask such a question! we will keep these to ourselves, we dont need to give you a reason why, we just will. so tough titty.

Why have you cancelled live feed?
We cannot be bothered, and cannot afford to use extra staff at this budget TV station.
also how would we fix the storylines and goings on in the house if you could see it all 24/7 with no editing?

What were you thinking with the quadruple eviction in BB11?
We were thinking the only way we would ensure a Josie win was to wipe out any competition. The ''ultimate'' BB housemates had already expressed concerns about having to living with Sam Pepper if he won. Therefore the only possible way to get rid of him was to have a mass eviction using 'vote to evict' to ensure one of the worst lacklustre finals ever, it was Josie's for the taking !

Why did you make such a big thing about Armageddon week only to let it fizzle out as if you'd gone off the idea.
Why have the power alliance to pick people to be up for eviction only to change it as soon as they had picked and go back on them being immune, just stupid
Why are rules not enforced for talking about noms.
Why give some one a pass to the final. It's not just because it's the dreadful Helen. I don't think anyone should get one because they don't then have the proper BB experience.
Why do you mess with noms so much and not let the public decide.
Why do you manipulate it so much, ITS NOT WHAT WE THE PUBLIC WANT.
