I agree with the poster above that it would be much better if it showed more balance, which the live feed broadcasts suggest is a truer reflection of events.
Conflict is fine, but the way in which things are edited in the HL show presents quite a distorted representation of what the live feed broadcast is generally like.”
Couldn't agree more, but it doesn't suit their storyline.
They both bitch and have shown a negative side. Some may be nastier than others, some may have instigated the bitching and I could agree with that, but thats not the point for me. All of us would show a bitchy side in there at some point, we're all human. Placed in a stressful and uncomfortable environment, where people have upset you and you may feel you don't want to tackle it head on in case you cause a bigger arguement, but you need someone to talk to about it, means you will end up talking about someone negatively. It happens, especially when theres no escape and you've nothing else to do but think abut these issues all day. Theres also times where you will lose the rag, say things you wouldn't normally say, behave worse than you otherwise would etc
Of course some are worse than others and we'll all have favourites. But I want to see everyones negative as well as positive sides - warts and all, and judge for myself. My problem with BB is they want more a hero and villains scenario, not only for the drama purposes, but they want the winner to seem like a hero, like someone who deserved it and not be tainted by a lot of negative behaviours that we may have watched (they also want the public to be motivated to vote for a winner).....and so often hide the 'popular' or likely winners negative stuff, while highlighting their 'enemies' negatives more....manipulating exactly how things were in order to make arguements, more black and white. Even if that popular one happens to be less bitchy than the others, its only fair that we see all sides of all the HM's imo. They also quite often manipulate things to target the 'baddie' and this can result in even more negative behaviour from them as they're faced with more stress and so it goes on.... I think its done this way so people feel more justified with who they've chosen as winners and losers. As its hard for most to accept that even reasonable people on the outside, if faced with that environment would most likely show a more negative side to their character.
