That's fair, although from a Jarrah perspective they could only view this twist as encouragement to do what they've been doing. Even amp it up more so. The Americans are slowly learning what BBUK mean by "game" and here they are playing it to the best of their ability for the fans who picked up their phone and voted for them.

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.”
Excellent post.

I have a feeling Their LF is not the same as ours. At one stage during last night, LF switched between (1) Scoop and Natasha in the bedroom talking about Farrah and Jenna, and (2) Gail and Stevie talking about Gail's upbringing as a kid. No doubt that Gail's convo was great tv, kind of reminded me of old HL's (rose tinted glasses maybe) But as our LF switched back to the secret room from the garden i wondered which conversation Jarrah had been watching. Based on their reactions i don't see how it could have been the same garden conversation i'd just seen.
I think they'd been watching the bedroom cameras whilst we'd been watching the garden. If so, you may well get the
incorrect impression that Jarrah are bitching about every single thing.
