I cant understand why the Producers allow Farrah to be the must covered H/M almost every night As a fan I am ok with it however there must be other stories during the Day that they could cover. IMO she had more coverage than any other 2 H/M's combined and when she leaves on Tuesday they are going to have a lot of space to fill.

Probably, but they just wouldn't be so dramatic or interesting.

C5 BB is just argumentative people. If they don't argue enough, they don't get shown (Chris, Sherrie, Gail) and they have to set up more tasks deisned to stir up serious confrontation until the loudmouth nasty/loopy ones are just about ready to kill each other. It seems all they're interested in showing.

OP - did you ever see it on C4?

I have seen every BB and I agree that the show is now different but there must be a lot of deadwood in that House.

They have a rinse and repeat formula built around shock-horror motormouth confrontation followed by us arguing about whether HM X or Y deserved the warning, and level of warning they did (or didn't) get for doing exactly what BB is paying them to do.
They only show a tiny % of what actually happens and then also support the 'radar dodger' claims about those they are choosing not to show.

Ah, you've seen far more than me (I lived abroad until BB5so that was my first)!

I'm not sure about deadwood really, CH5 just doesn't give us enough to have any idea imo. I *guess* Gail and Chris were chosen to go on for that role, and their lack of any screentime whatsoever seems telling. As a football fan deadwood has a slightly different connotation for me - my team had lots of players we are now well shot of, but at least we got to see plenty of them to know that! Certainly not saying I don't understand your point there though - far from it

Absolutely, and SOTS is instrumental in that (as is the horrible baiting and encouragement of the crowd we've heard about imo).

Tbh I'd rather watch Farrah, Austin and Janice over Gail, Sherrie and Chris anyway. The latter 3 just don't really do anything worthy of watching. I agree BB is different these days, but C4 BB was far from perfect, especially towards the end.

Perhaps she's the best at taking direction.

Agreed the end on C4 was dire, but how can you say people don't do anything worthy of watching when we haven't been allowed to see them?

Well we have to assume some HMs don't do much, they could be doing all kinds of things that don't fit the storyline template. You're right about the last couple of C4 BBs - by then the big cheese producer (sorry forgotten his name) was actually defending the new formula of a storyline style the HMs react to rather than natural development.

If I wanted to watch people like Farrah and Janice I'd pop down the street as there's always plenty of drama there. The constant bickering and berating others gets boring after a while.

Scoop was barely seen i the first week but now is coming out as a big character and influence, they can't not show him anymore, even though he's not their preferred petulant fight-over-anything type.

I think Daniel could have been the same later on.

The way they edit the HLs and even focus the limited LF on just a few is just wrong for me.

If the house just had Bobby Sherrie Gail Natasha James and Chris in it, I would just stop watching because those six bring nothing in my opinion and if they were just on their own it would not be watchable for me.

I don't know how you can say this because BB doesn't show them for you to judge them.

Interesting? It might be interesting if she was coherent in her arguments, but she isn't. It's just a shouting contest.

I think allowing the show to be dominated by the likes of Farrah, Jenna and Janice just demonstrates what BB want from their show and HMs which is arguments and upset. I don't mind it per se except that it is all we see. We need contrast, dark and light moments. The bits I've seen on live feed have shown to me that I like Bobby Davro He makes me laugh Who knows maybe I'd adore Chris and Sherrie if only we got to see them more.
