Looks all a bit suspiciously scripted.
Brave Jason with the dog
Evelyn getting nothing.
An actor brought in to play Laura's mysterious ex

How scripted is this family/exs/dogs thing

I thought it was well established this BB is one of the worst for pre-arranged scenarios as in Towie etc, and this effort tonight surpasses all others.
I am surprised the likes of Laura and even Andy can keep straight faces while they go through their set-pieces of melodrama.

Yes it's so set up isn't it
Well what do you mean by scripted? As in they are reciting pre written lines? Definitely not thats ridiculous. If you mean dropping in specific triggers like loved ones to provoke a reaction and drive the storyline then yeah of course it is.
Worst, most toecurlingly awful episode ever. They don't even seem to care how fake it all looks anymore. The HMs are all complicit in the pretence. It's not BB, it's a bunch of people play acting at being on BB.

That was the most obvious example to date in the c5 era

So true. I thought the same at the beginning of this series but then I got caught up with it all and the play acting didn't seem to matter so much. But it has been so obvious over the past few nights!
Why has Big Brother gone all scripted now? Are they gonna reveal all? Or are the British public going to waste more money voting to evict when the whole thing seems to be a set up these days?!

You are aware of the genre called Scripted Reality Shows right?

Not me...I'm not going to spend another penny on the bliddy garbage
There's an interesting thread on reddit about faked shows.

It's like prison, they are completely cut out from the outside world (no computer, books, phones, watches) and they are fed mostly booze. They all go insane.
Also, if the show doesn't air, they don't win their prize money. This is a standard for all competition reality shows.”

They're self confessed though. And If this is one in stealth, then it has a wall of silence surrounding it that would have given Woodward and Bernstein sleepless nights.

They've done that since series 1 though - nobody can tell us that Big Brother didn't know that Nasty Nick was cheating
If Craig et al could see it, they certainly could, but they were holding back on telling him off until the housemates confronted him.It's always about driving the storyline.
ETA: The other night Jayne and Andy were talking, on live feed, about how these housemates don't know how to be because - unlike other reality shows - there isn't a script for them to work off (because some of them have been on reality TV before).

I know, right? Shortly afterwards Andy accidentally said "Andy gets up and leaves." ...there was a brief awkward silence... Then he got up and left.
