Big Brother never ended up on OITNB despite being around way before OITNB started and (new) LI only came to existence halfway through OITNB's run, and LI appeared TWICE in it!

STAY PRESSED!

Obviously it’s fake. I don’t think realism was ever it’s USP though so.

It's amazing people watch it. So much to live for..

Erm, fairly sure this is well known to start with. I view LI as more..geordie shore/TOWIE than a reality show to be honest. Even though some say GS/TOWIE are reality, of course those are not either.

The article is odd though. Reckons until last year it was all genuine with no producer manipulation, but then a few paragraphs later, goes on about producers manipulating in 2017

i think towards the end tbh, BB was partially scripted too. At the very least, twists were specifically to cause certain reactions. Then there was the scene they aired where BB was talking to the HMs weirdly too.

You can say ‘it’s nothing we didn’t know before’ but if you actually read the article there’s some pretty shocking revelations. Islanders told who to vote off, producers lying about who’s in bed with who, islanders told they’ll be booted off if they don’t choose a certain person to couple up with.

Still going to watch it though lol.

S1 and 2 were a lot more genuine and natural compared to the rest. It's only S3 and onwards when it became a little bit scripted.

You can tell from watching an episode from S1 compared to now how different it is.

Rating goes up, quality goes down.

I don't see why people feel the need to compare BB and LI. Like Morgan said, they're both two completely different shows.

Can't we just enjoy both shows?
