Why do the sound and pics go off sometimes i know it says for legal stuff but what legal stuff is it

It's to save ITV being sued for lible or some other nasty lawsuit. It usually goes blank when the celebs are talking about other people outside of the camp (to protect their privacy), or naming names in terms of products etc.

Or if the are talking about sexual matters or swearing too much.

Thanks m8y

I dont understand why they cant edit the daytime repeat, so JUST the swear words and potentially libellous name or product names etc are blanked out, and not whole sentences (and more) each time. They just seem to leave the sound cuts the same with no editing at all.

and I dont understand why they keep switching to shots of the trees/sky/oil lamp when the celebs are just sitting round the fire, obviously not running around naked or whatever.

and why do they do so many close ups?, Im not really interested in watching the spot on Phils nose for 2 minites.

My impression from watching reality tv is that much of the time it has nothing to do with legal matters, and more to do with what the producers want us not to hear in case it spoils the illusion. i.e when they start talking about crew etc.

For example, I noticed today they were a bit late cutting the sound when Toyah joked about the frog sounds (piped from speakers hidden in the fake lagoon) being a bit loud

I noticed Toyah's comment about the frog noises and it made me realise that lots of the show is fake and the celebs know it is. They are all acting to a certain extent to produce a good show. I think when the camera shows a shot of the trees/sky/oil lamp it's because one of the crew has to come into the area around the fire...probably to replace the gas cannister than runs the fire

Blimey - now I am impressed. I don't even get gas in the street where I live - and its supposed to be 'civilised' here

Oh no! I didn't realise any of this! It's like finding out Santa doesn't exist!

Santa doesn't exist?!?!?!?!?!!?

Of Course he does.

I don't quite believe all I read, nor should you.

Just wait till Christmas, Santa will be delivering - he's just on holiday at the moment

Just checking the date........................................
No it Is 1st May - thought for a moment it was April 1st

So where do we find out about the gas canisters then?

They are definately cutting the sound when something important crops up that they want to save for the main show. They were doing it all the time they were practicing the show they put on last night.

As for gas canisters, check your local camping and caraving store!!

And now to add to my illusion shattering trauma, I've just read on another thread that the last show's camp location (and therefore possibly this one) was fifty yards from a hotel!

Does anyone know about this?

I've heard this said before, but I'm not convinced about it. I remember seeing a VT of behind the scenes of IACGMOOH last year, and they showed how they built their own village of portacabins for all the production crew in a clearing, and they said that they were a couple of hours from the nearest town - and from the footage of the area, it did look like they were in the middle of no-where.

I think that's right. I had a client the other day who said she comes from nearby and apparently they put letters through everyone's doors asking them not to say where they were as they wanted to keep the loacation a secret. She's from Queensland...does that tally...

I don't understand London Girl, are you saying they are in the middle of nowhere or they aren't?

Thanks,

Sorry Red...yes they do seem to be in the rain forest. My mate's parents live in the middle of nowhere.
