That used to be the stock phrase used to a housemate when they left to boos.

'It's all pantomime - it's not real'

Sadly this year the pantomime seems to have moved inside the house. I watched last night and thought, 'what I am getting so worked up about, none of this is real?'

We have goodies and baddies and they are all playing a role. We only seem to be one step away from black hats and white hats in this series.

For all the Marc, Helen, Nikki, Aisleyne and Danny hate on here. It's not real. These are reality TV professionals who are in there to do a job and are just doing what they are told and are probably getting well rewarded for it!!

Sums up my feelings too.

I agree. Everything is staged. Nothing is allowed to develop naturally.
I wish Channel 4 would buy back BB.

The whole show just stinks of being scripted. I am losing patience with the producers. But I'll carry on watching for a bit, but I certainly will not vote. What is the point. It is obvious that Marc has been picked as the winner. All the girlie girls on twitter will vote for him.

Hear hear.

This is what happens when you manipulate a show to death, rather than let it evolve organically.

Also, the casting of The Only Way is Chelsea Shore in Essex types just exacerbates the problem.

This whole series since the 'legends' were inserted has had the feel of a badly acted drama.

Didn't Chloe kind of confirm this at her dinner table speech where she said something like "we all are friends and like each other so anything after this is just part of the game"
